Title: The Descent (and freespace) Tribute
Post by: blackhole on August 29, 2006, 08:58:28 pm
I have created a Descent Tribute music video out of the Descent 1, 2, 3, and, to many fans' objection, Freespace 1 and Freespace 2, set to linkin park's "Numb". It is a tribute to the best 5 games of all time. Many consider Descent and Freespace to be seperate, but i decided to combine them. Whether or not thats a good idea is your opinion, but both of these games are astounding, and this is a reminder of that.

The Descent Tribute (http://www.sectorgame.com/blackhole/storage/Dtribute_highres.wmv) (47 megs)

YouTube Version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9pAuQotEro)

NOTE: Since this does pertain to freespace, i wasn't sure where to put this. Feel free to move it.

A blackhole,rather than step on,makes you slim as a paper.... :lol:
Why do you love snails,Snail?Are you afraid of French people?

I don't really love snails. When I was young I was terrified of snails (more so than spiders and egg yokes). But snails are innocent. Don't kill snails. Don't kill salmon either... When I was young, I watched a documentary about salmon, too, and it said that they went all the way to the top of the stream... just to die. :( Another reason for liking Snails was because of the MMO MapleStory. I played for a while and I loved the snails... I don't play anymore, but I like snails.

Anyway, I was thinking of calling myself Salmon, but I like Snail better. I like escargot, too. :D

When I was "investito" by a car I was playing with a Snail.She died and I wasn't able to walk for 2 weeks.That's my most important Snail memory.

Lol, maplestory? I still remember playing that for a while. I got to level 29 and just gave up because it wasn't worth it :hopping: :mad: :ick:

I murdered the snails there. I would go in every now and then to the training ground and just go on a massive snail-killing spree. Very fun :P

And no, i usually just step on the snail's shells. Normally i drop a rock on the snails that are alive :D

Meh... This forbidden word thingy is so much of a nonsense! I don't think anyone here wouldn't jump around like a 5 year old, giggling if V came up with a sequel. However it being at such a problematical license doesn't mean mere mentioning of it should make a grown man go on like "oooohh forbidden word >((" imo. No offense, but not talking about such a thing on such a forum sounds like a pretty silly thing to do. Like trying to shut out the world or something! (Voldemort for the win!)

I was joking, dude.

I think that "rule" came about as a result of people asking the same questions over and over and over again. You know which questions I mean cause they're the same as the ones you were thinking when you first found out about Freespace. So, HLP people just tired of talking about it.

I seriously doubt that, maestro :) Even tho I'm pretty new to this forum (even tho I've known of it for quite a long time, just been lazy to talk) I'm not exactly new to FreeSpace :P So no worrys I know quite well about things related to FreeSpace :) In fact, when I first found out about FreeSpace, I was thinking that whoah now this is gonna be an awesome game and I'm sooo gonna play it :D And FS2 didn't exist :)

This happens too much on these forums! :lol:


So, back on topic: I liked the music with the video. Any particularly deep reason you chose that or did it just sound cool?

Yea, but c'mon! We're talking about those lovely adorable snails! Who doesn't wanna talk about them? Or wait... Ah well ^^

Me? I chose Numb because it sounded cool. Then i noticed that i could relate a _LOT_ of the scenes to the lyrics. Listen carefully and you can catch almost 20+ scenes that relate to the lyrics being said ;7
