Meh - it wasn't something I went hunting for - I was just listening to music, and while this song was playing, it occurred to me that it fit quite well with the whole Steak Phenomenon (
), so I decided to share it. If I had composed the thing, I would have said that it's dedicated to him. But I didn't, so it's not.
And I really don't get all the n00bs who joined up after Setekh left (end of April, if you must know) and act as if they know him. Not saying it's bad that they know about him, of course, but.... ahhh, whatevers.
I think this entire situation is farcical at best. Now before I get flamed off my chair let me just say I admire Setekhs rendering more than anyone - being someone who's tried to capture the same level of engagement (to the viewer).
However, it seems that the "Steak Phenomenon" has spiralled into the rediculous. At first it was fun, I could sit and make the odd comment about "gee, his renders sure are good" or "so thats one of the old ones". Now, its just silly - with mass posting's talking about Setekh. I don't mean any disrespect to what you did Sandwich, its your right your his friend, but like I said many of the other threads or comments are just spurious. Now, we all agree - Steak was a great guy who was part of the group that made this forum, and he was a good artist, and a fs2 fan... etc. Can we also agree that if he saw half these threads he, like any human being, would get a bit freaked out? I don't know the man but I know how I'd feel.
Just try to make things a bit less melodramatic everyone, ok?
*sits back down in corner and drinks calming herbal tea* Damn, this tastes foul.
