Warning! SCS maybe using subliminal advertising!!

TLAM Strike · 12-08-05, 06:04 PM

Some of you may remember this ad that ran in a gamer magazine promoting SCS-Dangerous Waters. Well today I find my self working on one of my Virtual Sailor projects, Iâ€™m painting the model in Photoshop and listening to some music. I get to a point where I want to see how my painting looks so I go to open up 3D Exploration to make a render. Well playing in the background is the Buffalo Springfield song â€œFor What Itâ€™s Worthâ€ and the lyric â€œParanoia strikes deep, in to your life it will creepâ€ comes up and instead of opening 3D Ex I open DW!

There are sinister corporate forces at work here gentlemenâ€¦

The ad had the words "Strike Deep" on it and the song had the words "strikes deep" in it. See the link...

Subliminal advertising?? Hmm... the true reason of the so-called "screen flickering" :hmm:

Surely we have a rare example of American irony .................................................. ...hopefuly ?

No, this is American Irony!

'My Oberon ! what visions have I seen !
Methought I was enamoured of an ass.'

Touche!

Didn't even know about that Oberon until I was searching for the Oberon SS

Quite why the RN decided to name a class of sub after the king of the fay eludes me, still a good name though

Though I still think that they should have named a Traffie sub HMS Thunder Child

Maybe the RN wanted his power of instantaneous transportation but...................the photo hardly seems Star Wars.

So maybes it was 'reading minds'......................Nup some 'ole guy at Admiralty House was told ' Were doing Os next guv !'
