Re: Science Fiction Trivia
[...] I asked for examples of stories with black holes performing some function between the narrative extremes of being just a passing reference and being a main focus of the protagonist's actions. I'm asking for stories with gratuitous inclusion of black holes, that could be easily written out, bu...

Bringing in (from the previous dead attempt, heh) Mass Effect quickly: in Mass Effect 2, in the opening scene, commander Sheppard dies as a result of an attack on his* ship, and a very appealing cinematic. His remains are recovered, and he is resurrected by Cerberus. * I designate a male commander h...

During the mission, the Citadel (galactic center of government) is under attack by Cerberus forces. A target of the attack is taking out the Citadel Council, which the hero (comm...

Re: Tumbleweed Watch
Heh, you might want to ask "Is There Anybody Out There"
And the answer, of course, would be that some might be enjoying "The Sound of Silence", while some enjoy "The Sound Of Silence"

Re: Issue with moving exhausts
The thing that "rotated camera" might affect is the "billboard" texture presentation (i.e. objects always oriented to face the camera). I'd expect z-order not to be affected by camera rotation. I am not sure though this is how the the exhaust is rendered (that is, if using billbo...

Re: Issue with moving exhausts
From the picture posted by a_c it doesn't seem to be a "z-order OpenGL issue", at least not the one that involved the need to render objects in a specific order, to properly handle transparency (if I remember correctly). The missing exhaust trails seem to be intersected and occluded by the...
