Ba'al /Cliff Simon Thunk,Discussion and Appreciation

[misaditas]

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of the mods.

I apologise if that's ever been me.

One thing I have noticed though is that sometimes the Photobucket ones get caught in the cache (on their site, I think) and photos I know I've resized show up full. I've had real issues with that here and on other sites. I'm not sure what the answer is, apart from using different sites, but hopefully the mods can bear in mind that occasionally it's not the poster but the hosting site that's to fault.

It's absolutely about respect though. I'm going to double-check my folder and make sure everything's to size.

We know there can be some issues with other sites. And we'll try to be open minded and understanding.

I will say our first action will probably be to delete the post. Editing them doesn't seem to work. I hope folks understand that it's nothing personal. I don't even look at names, just right click, check the size and either keep scrolling or mark the post for deletion.

The thread shrunk, but I don't recall what was scrubbed. Probably just photos by the looks of it.

My brain's shrunk too.

[Skydiver]

Probably photos. In one of the threads I checked I found over 80 over sized pics....just kept going back and back and back and found pics that were too big. Other threads I've found 2-4.

[Iffy]

Over 80 is a lot.

I just try to keep PB set to a certain size so I don't have pics that are too big and forget and post them.

[Skydiver]

A lot of people do the same, which is great. Unfortunately not everyone is that diligent. I've deleted over 20 posts in the last little bit. Not just from this thread but others. But it's a persistent problem.

[Ibn Rushd]

Awesome.

[misaditas]

Thanks

Cliff has changed his Twitter name - he's now @cliffmsimon

[misaditas]

Cliff posted on Twitter that he's involved in a radio drama. Called Hothouse Bruiser, there's a Facebook page for it.

The Big Finish audios are NOW AVAILABLE

Comprising of three stories - Half Life, An Eye for an Eye & Infiltration - these audios are set during Season 10 and have full casts and original sound effects, making them sound as good as televised episodes.

A shooting in the heart of Stargate Command is only the beginning for Daniel Jackson (played by Michael Shanks) and Vala Mal Doran (played by Claudia Black).

Suddenly it’s friend against friend, none of their allies can be relied upon and they’re the universe’s only hope to foil the latest scheme concocted by the last System Lord, Ba’al (played by Cliff Simon).

Will Daniel, Vala and a few of Vala’s less than savoury friends be enough to stop a conspiracy that reaches deep into the heart of Stargate Command and threatens to destroy everything they’ve spent years building?

[Ibn Rushd]

I just downloaded them and listened to them today. I like them, original stories, full cast, I can totally picture what's happening. The only things that bug me is that Ba'al (like you said) doesn't care about the other Goa'uld in the show, there is no "j" in proto-Semitic (episode 2), Ba'al as a typical bad guy, and the whole god issue. Other than that it's awesome!

I just wish there was more with him, since the story was like Contiuum, not advancing as fast as desired.

[Ibn Rushd]

Some photos!!!

I finally listened to An Eye For An Eye, as someone hinted at the unblended clone. Ignoring the very incorrect comment about Baal not cloning the symbiotes, the second audio is much better than the first. Hopefully Infiltration will be just as good.

The cloned host though... so as not to spoil anyone that wants to listen and hasn't, I won't go into a lot of detail, but like I said - he's not been blended, so there's no symbiote. We've given backstory and a name and a performance from Cliff that deserves awards.

He is simply incredible. If you are going to listen, be prepared to be dragged through pretty much every emotion going. Be prepared to have your heart wrung out and then broken. I'm still stunned at the layers and life he imbibed what is effectively a new character, how real the host became in that hour of audio.

Really, seriously brilliant.

Misa, you gifs from around page 600 are gone.

Misa, you gifs from around page 600 are gone.

I'll get them back up.

[misaditas]

Gifs should be back up and operational.

But just to check (and really that IS why, it's nothing to do with the arms or anything...) -

[misaditas]

Today I come with YouTube goodness.

Cliff's Q&A panel from Brisbane SupaNova: part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4

And from POPCon, LA, a quick interview.

The second he mentions DUST, I sit up a little straighter and listen a little harder. I'm already saving pennies should XBox decide to give it a shot.
