    Woot!


    David helped write the story for Homeworld. He's credited as Dave "The Smoking Dog" Williams.


    Ruskay did the sound and helped with a lot of the cut-scenes in Homeworld and Homeworld 2.

    this does look exactly like a video-game cut scene... from a decade or two ago when video-games still had FMVs.

    I really love the idea of a 'trailer' for a book...why the hell not?

    I mean, better than this one obviously, but a 15 second motion-graphicy-animationy trailer is a cool idea... esp for sci-fi books...

    the video looks really cool, however, i'm kinda curious what "more human than human" means. does that mean she more fucked up than the average person? the average person has hang-ups, maybe a weight problem, some paranoia, delusions of grandeur or resentment of a coworker, etc.


    the Tyrell Corp said their motto was "More Human Than Human", so what the hell does that mean anyway?

    @acrobatic rabbit_R.O.A.C.H.: I got it. It's a signature. Therefore, my mom is commenting at io9, asking about the legality of killing people that we have declared war on, and I am probably going to get a Drano milkshake when I go home tonight.
