Title: Things in RL that make you laugh when you think of them in FreeSpace terms
Post by: jr2 on May 24, 2008, 02:44:20 am
Original thread title:
Get your edudation!  Hurry!  Offer won't last long... xD

Now, everyone, post your pictures or stories that just seem odd when taking the FS universe into the equation.

Heh, thinking in an FS context made that funny.

Hey, he had to do something with himself after the Sol node collapsed.  Lawn care can be a very lucrative business.

i always get kinda wierd when i'm, say, playing a sci-fi game, and names such as Sol and Capella come up. And, now that i think about it, i think i once saw a car with a bumber sticker with a picture of a GTF Apollo on it.

I saw in university a sign which said that a famous drill-building company was looking for engineers.

The sign said "Bosch wants you!".

I saw a car with a sticker saying, "You should see my other car," and there was a big C behind it. It looked a bit weird though. Maybe custom made.

I swear, i was once playing an online demo i had got, it was like fs, but the interface was really crappy, and you couldn't see enough of anything to figure out what was going on...

also, i once saw in some online game a unit called the collosus, and it was this huge mech thing (sorta like a supreme commander ACU) with a gun- that looked exactly like the well-known terran jugg.  :D

I'm Indian and was born Hindu.

The Shivans, Vasudans, Rakshasa, Ravana, etc. are all mythological Indian names from Hinduism. I just think of FS whenever I hear those names.

For me it always goes the other way around. Mainly because other people think I speak partially in English for some godforsaken reason. Like

"Dude, I have 4 gigs of FreeSpace on my computer."
"Get a new HDD lol"
"Baka. I meant the bloody game called FreeSpace..."

Actually, this has became annoying to me - whenver I search for 'FreeSpace' I come up with results like 'how to free space up in your computer' and etc.
