Title: Well, this is interesting.
Post by: Dough with Fish on June 29, 2006, 11:56:26 pm

It's late, and I can't sleep. So, what do I do? I start poking around youtube, naturally. Anyways, I was just searching for random videos on there and decided to see what Freespace would turn up on there. And, well, look (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrYqq-ZNzTg) what I found. I've never seen it before, and it gave me quite the chuckle.

That's the Headz video from the Silent Threat CD. I've had it and the two other FS related cutscenes up on my FAQ's download page for over a year now :)

...Where's our stake for burning heretics?

Please tell me we have one.




HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE SEEN THAT YET?! Have you been completely cut off from civilization for the past... 6-7 years?

Well, I never poked around my ST disc before it got lost or thrown away or whatever the hell happened to it, and to be honest I have never read your FAQ kara. And, I guess I am a new member, well 'new' enough to have never seen this before. Still, pretty funny.

It's easy enough to miss if you've never wondered where the Headz term comes from :)

****, it took me about 4 years (till Kara posted the ST videos on a thread somewhere) to see it, myself.

Actually, I recently saw this vid on youtube for the first time. There was a picture of it in the FS1 credits.

Anyone wonder why headz is written in english instead of vasudan?

The Vasudan alphabet doesn't have the letter "s."  They have to use "z."  So, in a way, I guess "Headz" is Vasudan for "Heads."   :drevil:

I suppose the box and the writing on it came from their supplier. Who most likely is, an earthling. Ofcourse the entry "heads" is a bit odd in any clerical or other book keeping documents, so he cleverly altered to word to get his stuff moving under the watchful eyes of earth authorities....

Calling Comcast to complain and having to hold the phone for ages can get very boring.

Actually, I kind of like the cutscenes being on youtube myself.

*spends some time watching*

um, after another tought, CP5670, where did you get that render of a vasudan?

Title: Re: Well, this is interesting.
Post by: CP5670 on July 03, 2006, 11:49:55 pm

I think it's from the old Descent Network site. It was among the renders I had collected from there years ago.

Looks like we have the basis for a Vasudan font.

We have the words:

Terran Headsz. mmmmm.

We already have the one Galemp made from the GOTY edition Sekhmet render. I used it to write that stuff.

By the way, in the original headz movie, does anyone recognize whose head that is? It's the squad commander from the Taranis briefing. The two guys in the back must have taken his head after the briefing. They probably loaded it into the headz box and transported it to the "key operations base."

"See! It’s those damn sand eating bastards! I tell you man. We ought to kill em all. They’re causing more trouble than the Shivans."

Hmm...I can't read the small text under the Vasudan.  What does it say?
