I just had to ask...
on: June 23, 2006, 09:44:52 pm
This is idiotic, but I have to ask...unfortunately...

Why did :v: call two of the core .vp's in retail FS2 "sparky"? 

Did they give the programmers electric shocks to make them finish FS2 faster?   :drevil:

@IceFire -- What kind of special project...?

@Turambar -- Hmm...I might do that.  I think I can crank out a 100+ mission campaign in a couple of weeks.  Although I would have to use my new compression software...my time compression software...

I have always wondered about those filenames myself. Root is obvious, smarty I suppose refers to what you become when you read the intel database, maybe the music sounds like warbling, and tango might have something to do with the three "acts," but I can't make any sense of sparky or stu.

Stu was voice right? I always thought it used to be STFU, but someone in management told them to change it, so they removed the F.

@Nuke -- There might be something to that in the credits.  Once I wake up, I might take a look at them.

Wait, so you're posting in your sleep?
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Well, if I had to make a guess about some of those names...

STU is an abbreviation for secure telephone unit, so that kinda makes sense for voices.

Sparky includes the effects. Sparks could be an effect, I guess.

@Nuclear1 -- Yeah, I was.  I'm awake now though.  Just needed to take some coffee through an IV. 

[Off Topic] 

This is just an observation...But I saw the secret videos on the Silent Threat CD (including the infamous Headz vid.)  I watched the Terran and Vasudan fight vid too.  Is it me or does it look like part of the Terran pilot's flight suit is an orange Speedo?

[End Off Topic]

Maybe I should start a thread called, "The Things You Wanted to Ask about FS2 but Were Afraid To..."
