jdfensty Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Well, I haven't posted here in years, even tho I've peeked in now and then, other than a random reply a month or so ago. But, long story short: I just came across this 'cartoon' in a .PDF of the December 1969 issue of Playboy Magazine (yeah, yeah, I know...) and I actually had to stop, screenshot it, and come here and share. It seems like some Westwood designers also read that issue: Not that I really feel the need to 'defend' myself, but, ok well I guess I do... :) I was just surfing through the new ebook uploads on a certain website (yar!) and saw a collection of every Playboy ever. I'm only human, right? Grabbed the first issue (historical interest only, really!) and also December 1969 as that's when I was born. Honestly, the most interesting thing is all the retro-tech ads and car ads. I didn't even think when I picked this issue, but of course it has the Christmas buying guide in it. Disco balls and psychedelic lighting galore, or if that's not your thing - a Porsche 914 for $3500, or a 4-track reel to reel audio AND video recorder for $1100, take your pick! As I said to my wife, "Honey, I won't even claim the old 'I only read it for the articles' with you, because I'm such a geek, I only read it for the ads...."

Phorlaug[IS] Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I would have to go with the Angler Fish as a representation of a Tengu. [attachment=2855:hairy-anglerfish-lge.jpg][attachment=2854:Anglerfish_600x450.jpg] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrell [BT] Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I would have to go with the Angler Fish as a representation of a Tengu. hairy-anglerfish-lge.jpgAnglerfish_600x450.jpg Good choice, it does remind me of them. When it comes to mobs, and not just the Tengu, I wonder what the devs' limitations are w/r/t what they can make mobs look like. I wonder if it's possible to make never seen before mobs, for sectors that weren't in the original game, but aren't in here yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitaes Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I had a pic of an Anglerfish but it was too big to upload, so I settled for a Goliath Grouper.....actually, considering the true sizes of the fish (Anglerfish tops at under a meter, weighing maybe 15 kg, while the grouper mentioned could reach close to 3 meters and close to 400+ kgs) I'd rather meet the Anglerfish in real life.

Phorlaug[IS] Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I think the Westwood DEVs were sitting around eating Sushi and drinking Saki trying to come up with a monster and One said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
