Now there is a challenge! Every time we are annoyed with a company or organisation we get back at them by doing a parody or something similar in YAH.DaddyHoggy wrote:Can't believe it YAH down on page 4! Shocking!
Anyway - as I'm currently very cross with RL(tm) Veolia it's only fair that I parody them inside Oolite!
I went to a Quo gig last year ... it reminded me of when I was in the Boy Scouts and we did a carol concert for the old people's home.Commander McLane wrote:Now I'm waiting for an ad with the tag line

Don't know yet who it would be for.
Band name is probably ok as it's also the name of a book! But imagery of real people...Kaks wrote:Eheheh, nice! Mind you, a RL band name? Maybe StatusOoo instead?

What an incredible difference in quality, artistic ability, presentation, etc. compared to my feeble effort. Now I remember why the art teacher told me to sit and do my homework for other classes in her lessons, instead of wasting her paper and materials.Disembodied wrote:

Well, in my opinion your art teacher needed a swift kick ... anyway, the beauty of computer art is, once the machine is bought, the materials are free.SandJ wrote:What an incredible difference in quality, artistic ability, presentation, etc. compared to my feeble effort.

Also, Disembodied had a clear head start, as far as things in jars are concerned.Disembodied wrote:Well, in my opinion your art teacher needed a swift kick ... anyway, the beauty of computer art is, once the machine is bought, the materials are free.SandJ wrote:What an incredible difference in quality, artistic ability, presentation, etc. compared to my feeble effort.

I cringe when I look at some of my earlier works (Bee & Qoo - nice idea - terribly implemented) - but I've got better and better with GIMP and I've been quite proud of some of my recent efforts. So just keep plugging away, you'll be surprised.SandJ wrote:What an incredible difference in quality, artistic ability, presentation, etc. compared to my feeble effort.

They look even more impressive when you jump into a system and see the light on the corner of the ad in the centre of your view screen and ¼ of a second later you get "Press Space Commander". Had that once, plus a couple of "OMG! Sheeeeeet!" near misses where I have had to suddenly pull round the billboard to avoid it.CaptSolo wrote:Yes very nice work indeed. Just added this in my Ooniverse and very impressed. The Constores are just amazing but what else can one expect from Griff. Even on my non-shaderfied hardware they look great.
And yet, as you're not alone in recounting a version of this story, I've never had it happen to me - and when I do play Oolite I spend it jumping to systems that I know will have a Constore/Tetrascreen!SandJ wrote:They look even more impressive when you jump into a system and see the light on the corner of the ad in the centre of your view screen and ¼ of a second later you get "Press Space Commander".

(A bit like driving on the M6 in Birmingham, actually.)
