Title: Tahmoh Penikett aka Carl "Helo" Agathon plays BSG games
Post by: Adalla on March 21, 2009, 11:18:37 pm
There is a shot of him playing the "Battlestar Galactica" arcade game in the second of the new David Eick video blogs called More Scenes From the Cutting Room Floor (http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/?clip=2)

Man...poor guy, someone needs to tell him there is a REAL BSG sim that he can play.

So true...someone needs to contact him and focus his attention on BtRL and Diaspora. :)

From what I can see in that pic the game looks alright though

BtRL and Diaspora probably outdo it x10

Would be cool to have him playing online in the near future.. as well as Starbuck and many other potential Diasora players, is that so? :)  I roboustly think he/they should be posted on R1. Also,would not be bad idea to suggest him/them certain, i'd say, prudence him/their self at spreading the word on the game.. I'm sure you know what I do mean with that...

Ftfy

And yeah, somebody should tell him about Diaspora, but fear the consequences as there is some profit involved for those guys with the 'sim'. Unless Diaspora has diplomatic immunity of some sorts.... that would be a bad idea.

All the call signs from the show should be reserved names and only those from the show can use them :P

Heheheh... not that bad idea, IMO. :P

It's only that the admins should commit to that nobody will use none of The Nicks under any circumstance.

You should invite them to a Diaspora gaming event some time and get them on a Teamspeak server. Total chaos will ensue. :P

Don't give me no lip! They say driver all the damn time.

The irony being that he was introduced as an ECO back in the mini.

Someone should pull strings in the future in order to contact their respective agents as first door.. :P

There are no issues with Mefustae referring to him as a driver instead of a pilot.  F-15 pilots are nicknamed Eagle Drivers, there is a precedent for it.

An ECO is an co-pilot too... I recall some scenes on that.

Wouldnt play against Baltar, he would cheat, then deny it, and predict a new game.......

Tigh would be too drunk to play.

I'm pretty sure either Six the character or Tricia Helfer would kick your ass at the game.

To have Katee Sackhoff executing an "Starbuck" maneuver in an online Diaspora dogfight would be remarkable

No matter if she ends up blowing my Viper or not.. I've to admit :)

On a slightly related note, while the BSG arcade game was under development Bear McCreary attempted several times to contact the developers and ask if they were interested in him scoring the game. They never responded, and once the game was released he was relieved they didn't. :)

It'd be pretty awesome if he scored Diaspora. :P
