Now if only I could remember my Spanish.

olmos/adama is drawn very well

[LoneStar1836]

Well, I don't laugh out loud at it, but like I said, it still makes me grin. I figure there's probably also a cultural aspect that I just can't get. *shrug*

Wouldn't have bothered sharing it if I thought it wasn't worth it. Maybe my judgement is off.

Thanks for sharing anyway.

Not extremely funny to me but I imagine it has to do with me not being Hispanic.

Had to go look up what all those Spanish and slang words meant....

The first strip was the best. The 3rd panel translates loosely to "Because I fraking want to, idiot." *though the slang translation for cookie umm.... isn't very PG*

In the second one, Adama's threatening to wack whoever (I'm guessing Gaeta still) to the nearest Cylon planet with his flip-flop/sandle because he's annoying. Maybe he can take that shoe and fling it at Dee as well cause she is really annoying as of late.....

"Galactica" Writer Exploring Video Games

By John Gaudiosi
Wednesday, 12 April 2006

Click on the link to read the entire article. Some excerpts:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Ronald D. Moore knows a thing or two about reinventing old intellectual property for a new audience. The writer-director has turned "Battlestar Galactica" into a hit show for the Sci Fi Channel and now is looking to delve deeper into video games as a further extension of the franchise.

Moore says no one has come up with the great TV/video game hybrid yet, the game that everyone in the U.S. has to play. As a result, there's the opportunity to be a pioneer in this space.

Another area "Galactica" may be heading toward is mobile phone games. Moore says the popularity of "Galactica" on iTunes has opened a lot of eyes on the corporate level.

"They come to us once they've made the partnerships and then ask about back stories or art," he says. "Creators of the show are pretty far down the food chain with these types of things."

Nice find! Thanks for the heads up.

Well let’s hope they put more thought to then a first person shoot-m-up or just a flight sim. I’d like to see a game with some real depth and mystery to it.
