While the style itself ain't my favorite, the whole concept of Dune cartoon? Why not?

Any info about this? Is this project still alive or is it back in development hell? IMDb states it for 2014 release, but since 2013 is almost upon us and there's been second to none information... well it doesn't look too good. The latest piece of info I dug out is this web page: http://janeiris.hubpages.com/hub/Dune-Movie-to-Watch-Out-For# but who knows how accurate the info is...

The UserFriendly comic is all about Dune today. Check it out.

Damn. I've always been more of a stalker kinda member on this forum. Never said much, mostly because others usually pointed out whatever was on my mind. Aaaanyhow, back to the topic. Hi to everyone! Love you guys and gals!

I was awestruck. Before Dune I read some cheesy Star Wars novels and b-class crap. Dune was my first REAL sci-fi book and it swept me away. Since then, my mission is to read Dune in all the languages that I can speak/write. I reckon that French will be the most tough one yet.

I do not really wish to tell how I got my hands on it, nor *why* did I. But to put it straight and simple... it's quite bad. I mean, I do enjoy WH40k books when I want some simple and light reading with epic moments. It's not high-brow literature for sure... but when I start reading this one, I felt only one question materialising itself in my cranium. Why? It's like someone grabbed an idea, twisted it to his evil means and then gave it life in a book form. Why?

Actually, that little boy (Shia) isn't bad choice at all. IMHO of course. He has enough screen charisma and he ain't that bad when it comes to acting. At least there are far worse options for Paul than this. But since all this is based on rumours... we shall take them with a grain of salt.

This is like a Greek tragedy. And perfect example why I'm not playing Emperor. I just can't stand *insert x word here* people.

Thanks. That clears out some confusion. 8)

This is a bit off-topicish, but what is the duration of your special edition? Is it (approx.) 4h 48min or is it a wee bit longer?

You're right spicy. You do have a point there. It's damn shame that there are tons of quality games nowadays that are just forgotten. Maybe because they were not advertised enough or because they didn't sell expected amount of copies. FS2 open source is excellent release for all those who enjoy a spacesim with a an epic plot. While you're at it, don't forget to check all the available mods for it. A Babylon 5 modification is a decent one. But as stated above. I agree with you spicy.

Exactly.

Beyond Good & Evil. It got great reviews, everyone thought that it was something

Well, now all the Hollywood studios know that you can make a good book->movie adaptation, we just need a team with great passion for dune, great storytellers (for movie) and a fine director with superb cast. Then the Dune would come out as three-parter. Something like Lotr, now then the Dune would get a lot of popularity... but hey, nothing is free. And I'm yet to see a good Dune movie on the big screen. Sci-fi channel's miniseries were good yes, but with a lot of money whole Dune saga would be like... well, Dune would be a milestone to sci-fi, like Lotr is a measurement of fantasy. Or something like that. And don't flame me. You all got my point.

Crusader: No Remorse and No Regret, UT, Deus Ex, C&C, Dune 2000 and Beyond Good & Evil. That's it.

Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft and StarCraft: Ghost and Valve Software's Half-Life 2. HL2, because I await that it will feature an incredibely awesome singleplayer, like HL1 had in it's own time. WoW and Ghost... Well... They're Blizzard's games, and since I like all of their games and I own all of their games... Well.. That kinda explains it all.

They are meant to be strange.. well.. they most definetely are. Strange, creepy... bah. Not my type at all.

Electronic Voice Assistant or Electreonic Video Assistant.

Wierd... In our house there are two TFT monitors; Samtron 51s and Hyundai Q15S and D2k runs without any problems on those...

Well... I haven't started a topic here before, but this little question has been bugging since the Emperor has been released. We all know that in Dune 2 and in Dune 2000 there are house specific EVA. In Dune 2 it's... well... kinda unique. You know, the Harkonnen has this harsh male voice, Atreides has this, pretty generic nowadays, calm female voice and the Ordos has this.. well.. strange EVA voice of this "french guy" as I called it several years ago. In Dune 2000 the "french guy" wasn't there anymore, it was replaced. But anyway, why in Emperor there is only this one "generic" EVA voice? House specific was a far better I think. It had much more.. hmm.. to put this.. well.. It was far more exciting that way.

Nah, to me Ordos are just way too strange. All that shielding technology, messing up with organic tech, profit gaining etc. It's just too wierd for me, I don't like to be commanded by some evil mercenary group... It just lacks the feeling of real war out there. If you play Ordos, its like serving someone who is afraightened to show his/her real face. And besides, Ordos are strange, creepy and wierd. Atreides shall prevail.

Haha :). You're the lucky one. I'll bet it was kinda surprise.. Out of nothing, you're the owner of the first signed copy. Good for you.

Hah. Haven't seen these kind of threads for ages :D. Anyway, if someone is intrested then... http://irc-galleria.net/view.php?nick=Pawe <-- that's me. A bit modified picture yes.. click on it and you'll have a couple more.

I must agree. I found this "tactic" pretty effective against my little brother.. Oh he hates it when suddenly 4-6 minotaurs pop-up in different locations of his base.

Wuuh... That picture whit Shai-Hulud in the middle with Atreides and Harkonnen fleeing from the battlefield is nice... I'll think I pick that one.
