Toonces - Don't ask me, I just close my eyes and take it.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

It's amazing that after all these years, no one has been able to capture the atmosphere, gameplay...and frankly, graphics of the Homeworld series. Modded, it is a beautiful game and there aren't any other games like it. Why someone has not made a Homeworld 3 is beyond me;  or at least a similar game

IIRC Relic got bought by a publisher but by that time someone else owned the HW franchise.

Relic was part of THQ (now defunct). They moved on to do the Warhammer RTS games and the Company of Heroes games. But I think you are right, the HW license was owned by Sierra, which was bought by Activision (now Activision Blizzard).

I really enjoyed their game Impossible Creatures and would love to see something like that in a modern engine.

From looking at the Complex 9.0 mod (coming September) they have abandoned the Homeworld engine and moved to the Nexus:jupiter incident engine. Interesting

Me neither...but they are modding it to be similar to Homeworld...at least the skirmish mode. The engine is very good so I have high hopes

The game didn't grab me when it first came out, as well.  However, years later I loaded it up again and really enjoyed it.
