That was the joke. Clearly it went way over your heads.
This thread has been dormant for way too long... So to spice things up, lets toss this out there.

I think that deserves a George Takei "Oh my...."
And that paired with this...

Are your mouths watering yet?
It's been dormant because some of the jokers here want you to switch to destinydubstep.net.
Switch to DestinyDoubleDownHub.net for all new about Destiny, the game!
Even DestinyHub, though more active about it, is kind of silent on Destiny. I just cannot get on the hype train for the game. It looks cool, I want to play it, and I am looking forward to it, but I just don't have much to say about it.
I guess that makes me officially old?
No, it just means you're still waiting for June 10th, when we're actually introduced to the game. Something you can get behind as a gamer. Not just told things about the story or shown concept art.
Even though I think the trailer was pretty cool, it's nagging me that they showed wind blowing on the moon. Is that bugging anyone else?
Nah, so many explosions the resulting gasses provided a light atmosphere.Quote:

But that doesn't change the gravity...
Actually, most sci-fi completely overlooks the effects of gravity, especially those that contain colonies on the moon and Mars, etc. After several generations, the people there would be unable to survive on Earth, or would be severely crippled, due to the gravity. Bones would be less dense, muscle less strong, so on and so forth.
I think you may be rushing to judgement a little bit there Warsaw, since we dont really have any information regarding the trailer. Im not saying you are wrong necessarily, but there may be something involved that we don't know about that makes a difference.
Don't forget that in Destiny, the moon is considered a Forbidden Zone. So it's not like these Guardians live up there. They're just visiting their annoying neighbors.
Also, the Traveler is able to grant powers so...yeah. Go-go gadget magic Earth gravity power

Maybe there is some doodad changing the gravity and giving it an atmosphere, I dunno. I'm just saying, based on what I know about the moon IRL and that we don't know otherwise for Destiny, they looked like they were moving too fluidly. It's okay. Transformers did the same thing...practically all sci-fi does the same thing...
Wouldn't adding an atmosphere to a planet cause there to be atmospheric pressure. So that could make it appear like gravity has changed depending on how dense the atmosphere is. I don't know. For all I know the planet in the trailer might not even be the moon, it could be a planet the size of the Earth, or maybe Pluto, just conveniently placed next to another planet which happens to look awfully like the Earth.
That's my 2 cents on the matter, also I am very keen for this game if it comes to PC.
I liked the trailer and I think I'll like this game. I just hope it comes out on PC. I also want more gameplay. :(
Reminds me of Mass Effect. Looks cool so far but I'd much rather be seeing more ingame footage than live action shots.
Almost all science fiction blatantly disregards physical laws of the universe. But yes, the wind on the moon did irk me.
From a gameplay standpoint, I understand that having different physics models for each planet/moon would be unacceptable. And from an animation point of view, it would not be very do-able.
I guess they could explain the ability to move nimbly in low-G with some sort of exoskeleton technology. If there's motorized musculature and some kind of hollow weave throughout their suits that can be packed with heavy molecules to adapt to low gravity environments, maybe that could work. But the issue with the atmosphere is that if there is one, then the sky won't be black during the day. But if they change that, then it's no longer recognizable as the moon.
It seems like every day that passes, scientists discover another set of reasons why space travel is a baaaad idea. At some point, we have to let it go and enjoy this shit for what it is -- fantasy. There's all this talk about setting up colonies on other planets in case something happens to the Earth, but unless the Earth is fucking molten, we're better off here than anywhere else. Until we transition into a race of immortal machines, that is. Then we can do whatever the fuck we want.
Fuck you, I want to terraform Mars so I can leave Earth and all of its shitbags :mech:
I'll let you ion on the conspiracy. We're trying to make colonizing Mars sound like not a death sentence so that all the shitbags will go there. The original Total Recall was Phase 1 where we planted the seed that women will grow a third tit on Mars. The remake was a setback, but we're back on track pitching reality show ideas.
But you can rest easy that the first person on Mars will be a huge douche."Come at me, Mars." will live in history alongside "One small step for man."
Can i come too?Quote:

Doom did it for me..
I suggest you two go watch the episode: The Waters of Mars....I'll be on Steam.
^ One more of the many innocent things that Doctor Who tries making you never want to come in contact with.
OT: Assuming one had never watched Doctor Who, and currently only had access to what was on Netflix, where would you suggest they start at?
Start with the 9th doctor. Start with the original if you can stomach the primitive special effects.
9Th Doctor had some good episodes, prepare to hate some of the pilot episodes though.Quote:

You can't be serious.
Compare Doctor Who to Battlestar Galactica, and tell me the effects aren't primitive with a straight face. End of Time was ultra-fake.
Fuck, Battlestar Galactica was a great series (the reboot, couldn't get into TOS). Can't wait to rewatch it in a few years. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions
Compared to the Classic Doctor Who? I'm not talking about anything else.
You're not seriously comparing a privately funded TV show to a publicly funded one are you?Quote:

But the effects are supposed to be bad. Right? Right?
That's not the point though, is it? The point is that the effects are still primitive. I'm not judging the show based on that, you should know better, I'm just saying...primitive SFX are primitive.Quote:

Good lord I love how this game looks! I also love the fact that they were the only people demo'ing a game on stage who actually were having fun... The battlefield players were all hardcore and serious, but the Bungie team were laughing and yelling and just goofing around xD
^That's actually exactly what's wrong with Battlefield ever since BF3.
Because Battlefield is srs business guise. Destiny is just Halo with 4 armed people.
Except you can have more than 4 people playing the gameQuote:
