I'll probably get called a geek by Dave (denial is a river in Egypt, son), however I just remembered that the effects in Jurassic Park were confirmed as being done on a computer with less processing power than a PS2. That was confirmed by Speilberg, who waxed lyrical about the opportunities of the PS2 when it came out. I know there were animatronics but, hey it's impressive.
Damn those Raptors are so smart... They never put the lottery on.
How messed up is that? God damn progress. An even more humbling fact is that the early Babylon 5 effects were done on an Amiga 4000... and as confirmed in this months Retro Gamer mag, some of the pilot effects were done on an out of the box Amiga 1200 with a 3d rendering program... Now that's just laughable!
Were we ever this geeky? Hey it might be camp/ironic one day...
By the way, Babylon 5 is the Queen Mother of Geek shows: it may be ironic to look back and laugh one day, like Blake 7, but now I just kinda feel embarassed that I watched it religously! And that goes double for the later Buffys!
See ya
