thanatos Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 I saw the recent posts concerning the UK version of Computer Gaming World in reference to BCM and our esteemed Supreme Commander, Dr. Smart. I just received my US of A copy in the mail yesterday (April 2001-Issue 201), and there is BCM on page 64, and the SC on pages 66, 67, 68, and 69. Check it out.Seems to be a fair article; I think if I knew this Green guy personally, I'd probably like him. A guy playing EverQuest as a Dwarf Paladin named "Doarkus" has figured out some important things about life, no?One multipart question to you true BC3K Forum vererans, as it has probably come up, and been asked and answered: What is the name of the female model in the "nightie" of the BattleCruiser ads that ran in various incantations in the PC game mags? Did she know she was to be hooked up with BC3K, or were these the modeling equivalent of clip art? What ever happened to her?My interest is purely fraternal, she reminds me of my sister. I'm now walking towards the airlock!Doc Hoover[This message has been edited by thanatos (edited 03-08-2001).]
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 She is a British model named Jo Guest http://www.granhaug.no/mikael/pics/Battlecruiser.jpg
thanatos Posted March 8, 2001 Author Report Posted March 8, 2001 Is this blond lady the same person as the gal with the dark hair wearing the light colored nightgown, waiting for her mate to finish his BC3K game. The one that is seen in the BattleCruiser flashback ad on page 68 of the CGW article of "The Second Coming of Derek Smart"? They look disimilar through the eyes,.....Inquiring minds want to know.Doc Hoover
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 No. One is the US ad, the other is the UK ad. I don't have a clue who the chic in the US ad is. Ask Take2.
Hector Socas Navarro Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 What the hell is this thread about? What's this chick doing with the old Take2 box? Is this a promo ad of the original BC3k? ------------------ See you out there, among the starsCmdr Nava, GCV Nemesis (Official BC3k tester)
thanatos Posted March 8, 2001 Author Report Posted March 8, 2001 Commander Nava,Yea, this is trip down Memory Lane, with particular inquiry to the historical ad campaign of BattleCruiser 3000 A.D., not BCM.I started this thread as a heads-up to catch the CGW articles, but quickly side-tracked that issue by following my scientific interest concerning the utilization of beautiful young ladies to sell a product. And so it goes,.........Doc HooverJust once I'd like to post a reply and not have to go back to edit a stoopid spellyng errer when I'm trying to sound so educated and learned!

Hector Socas Navarro Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 Oh, I see. Can we have more for BC:M (the uncensored version, please)? We should have models of both genders (one _OR_ the other, that is), since BCM supports male and female commanders.------------------ See you out there, among the starsCmdr Nava, GCV Nemesis (Official BC3k tester)
Pugwash Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 Jo ok till she open her mouth no pun intended her high pitched Essex girl voice is a real turn off (for me anyway)[This message has been edited by Pugwash (edited 03-11-2001).]
Hector Socas Navarro Posted March 8, 2001 Report Posted March 8, 2001 What are you talking about? This is no porno. This is a nice, cool, sexy picture of a lady with a BC3k box (what can be sexier than that?). Who's talking about porno here? ------------------ See you out there, among the starsCmdr Nava, GCV Nemesis (Official BC3k tester)
aramike Posted March 9, 2001 Report Posted March 9, 2001 quote:If you want to see uncensored pix or even downright porno just search the web plenty of sites out there not that I know it just word of mouth heheUhm, please refrain from pointing out porno pictures on a Web site that kids frequent.Derek, you need to RE-HIRE that model.
Pugwash Posted March 9, 2001 Report Posted March 9, 2001 Sorry about that I wasn't thinking got carried away
Pugwash Posted March 9, 2001 Report Posted March 9, 2001 The post from aramike just got me thinking maybe I should post this as a new topic? but anyway here goes. What is acceptable conduct today?Not particularly on this forum, but in society in generalThere will always be cultural differences between us not just UK USA or even between States but with the Internet being global the will be vast differences between users. The UK is seen by many countries in Europe (and many people in the UK) as being behind the times on matters of sex Being someone over the age of consent but without any children (4 nieces 1 nephew) I will have different view to someone with children especially young childrenMost things are advertise using sex to sell their products nowdays wether its cars,food,holidays,DIY,dog food you name it Its still very one sided but in today PC (politically correct) society things are a bit more even I think it must be 15 years or so since Nick Kershaw stripped of in the launderette advertising Levi or was it soap I can't remember now but the image still remains.In the UK we have had 20ft billboard with naked women on them, or super models in wonder bras and the caption "hello Boys" which have reportedly caused road accidents. Even when you buy some tabloid newspapers you have a topless page 3 girl. One paper in particular that is owned by a guy who made his money from glossy magazines is certainly not fit for children to read but as far as I know has no has no sales restrictions on it.Over the last few years we in the UK have the "Lad" culture with magazines aimed at the 18-30 year old male and what he "wants" followed by the "Laddetts" with young women trying to out do the men in the worst possible way.The computer industry in particular is a very male dominated industry and primarily a certain age group of men. just read the magazines especially the games mags and the stereotypes they reenforce.I read somewhere recently that the target group for these mags was 24-30some can't remember the exact figures When you read the UK version of PC gamer (I do like the humour in it Red Dwarf is to my tast and if you know the cartoon Captain Pugwash the Blackpig Mr Bates the cabin boy and the deck hand Mr stains you ll know where I'm coming from) you can quit understand it some of the language and imagery is not suitable for children certainly while I've been reading it the have been letters from parents objecting to the content. In last months issue they had an article on how women/girls/females where treated on the net (particularly game sites I think can't reread it I've given it away). The way in which the article was written and the edited extracts from the chat room,it took me milliseconds to work out what words were actually said (not very pleasant) but who would stop their children from buying a games mag?We can not protect the children today as we would like but that should not stop us from trying to do so. rant over
Supreme Cmdr Posted March 10, 2001 Report Posted March 10, 2001 quote:Derek, you need to RE-HIRE that modelI didn't hire her in the first place. I had nothing to do with either the Take2 or the Gametek ad campaigns for BC3K. As usually, nobody consulted me.I dunno if its online or not, but I remember seeing a UK ad for a THQ (?) game. It was a spoof of the Jo Guest ad, but instead of a beautiful model, it was some 80+ old granny. It was absolutely hilarious. Does anyone know if its online anywhere? You'll die laughing when you see it. Trust me on this.[This message has been edited by Supreme Cmdr (edited 03-10-2001).]
Kush Posted March 10, 2001 Report Posted March 10, 2001 The article was great. I wish actually that the game preview had more depth to it. It kinda ticked me off that they give this great spread for Derek and didn't really go into what he fought so hard to create.Am I alone on this one?
