Reminded how Command and Conquer was apparently heavily based on Dune II originally, with Tiberium obviously standing in for spice. Kinda funny that it was a RTS that specifically had the availability of a do-anything universal resource as a plot point, since a terrorist group is able to use it to build an army overnight.

I just found my Dune 2000 CD, I wonder if I could get it to work on Windows 10?

You'll probably have to virtual box the installation since the installer is 16 bit and that poo poo does not work on 64 bit systems

Dune 2000 was quite good. Better than Emperor Battle for Dune. Frank Herbert's Dune is garbage though. For what it's worth you can play Dune 1 in a browser and it's a good Dune game too.

Is there a recommended audio book version of the Frank novels?

If you want to play dune 2000 download OpenRA.net which has Dune 2000 as an official mod for it along with C&C and Red Alert 1. OpenRA 10th anniversary trailer: https://youtu.be/93b7TKooj-M It is incomplete and not all the missions are added yet but it has full working multiplayer and lobbies and even competetive gaming and monthly competitions online. If you have the original disks you can import the videos and music or download them separately. Or use cncnet and download it via that. https://cncnet.org/dune-2000 Openra is a remake on a new engine with some quality of life improvememts, cncnet is porting the original westwood games to windows xp and upto windows 10. And because c&c1, ra1, tiberian sun and dune2000 are freeware you can easily download amd play them on the cncnet client online. drunkill fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Feb 26, 2019 |

Before he died Frank did a bunch of college talk tours. I really wish I had been old enough to go to one. He apparently had a very weird high voice so I don't think anyone wanted an audio book read by him.

Holy poo poo this thread exists? Tears of nostalgia (from reading the books and playing all the Dune games, starting with the original on the Amiga).

A_Bug_That_Thinks posted:Fremen live in the deep desert, which i believe is along the equator. That's why nobody believes there are more than a few thousand, because as soon as you leave the polar region you die The deep desert, according to the appendices of Dune, go from 60° N to 70° S. The south pole is bigger because of less mining and much less population. I can only guess that favourable geography (The shield wall) encouraged settlement in the artic rather than Antarctic circle. Or the minor deserts with their smaller worms. The Fremen secret palmaries are in the southern hemisphere. The Smugglers are easier to threaten/bribe I doubt there are many sietches in the equatorial regions just because it is far away from anything relevent nearby. Even spice gathered would be much more difficult to move to areas where it could be sold. The map says the palmeries are 30 thumpers away from the edge of the map so it would take 10-15 worm-journeys to move the spice to where it can be sold. Not to mention the difficulty of living at the equator. Windtraps would be less effective at that latitude.

I don't have a digital edition of God Emperor so can anyone tell me if Leto's secret tower in the Sareer is built on a fremen site? The Sareer is in the equatorial region. Also Odrade finds the spice hoard at Jacarutu which I would guess was very isolated but does it mention any evidence of what Latitude it might be at, or how many Worms the rode to get there?

Sorry for triple post but I found a great Mercator projection of arrakis at https://goo.gl/images/F3hPfF. The southern hemisphere is based on House Harkonnen so ignore. It contradicts Dune, to nobody's surprise.

I enjoyed almost all (read: all) Lynch's creations. The heartplugs. The weirding modules. The Guild vagina mouths. The cat milking. Especially the cat milking.

Cat milking owns. Tie a deadly adversary to a menial task with a vulnerable pet of sorts which will humiliate him further, it’s diabolic genius.

Frank Herbert said it was a brilliant idea to depict atreides house design in renaissance styles as a visual shorthand for their feudal society, in a "wish I'd thought of it" sort of way. Say what you will about the lynch movie, its set production is impeccable.

Apparently it had majestic ceilings in all the sets but they couldn't get the cameras to pan up and they were completely wasted. There's a whole world above them we never see. And then he goes and makes Paul create rain for some reason. The very best Dune movie is in there somewhere. I hope Dennis borrows a lot from it and completely ignores some of the atrocities of the mini series. Like the reverend mother saying "that's right child...PRAY!" when he starts reciting the litany on fear. Like...wtf. Mohaim wasn't loving sadistic when she gave him the gom jabbar test.

Herbert on Lynch's film: " Dune recreates a feudal society. To impress that on you, the film decor echoes Renaissance (and feudal) Italy -- a stroke of genius and visually exciting."

It's at odds with itself.

Just realised that they are going to sell thousands of those @duneauthor books by slathering the covers in stills from the new movie, and writing the "dune" bit really big and the rest of the title really small.

A little, but I think it is really effective at communicating the world. Although I will say Lynch's Caladan really sucks. The baroque is overboard there and Caladan shouldn't be so oppressive and dark. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Feb 27, 2019 |
