Steampunk

Postby Quu » Thu Mar 06, 2008 2:03 pm

Since this can be about non AMVs, I want to talk about steam punk.

What is your favorite steam punk?

mine:
H. G. Wells (the classic)
Girl Genius (love the art)
Final Fantasy 6 (I think it was 3 in the US)
Deadlands (Original RPG system based on cards and dice, not tried the d20)
Laputa and Nausicaa
Space: 1889 (played this game in high school)


I used to be big into cyberpunk when I was younger, and I seam to have graduated into steam punk. I guess back in the 80s cyber punk sounded like such a fantasy. As time progresses, we get closer and closer to real cyberpunk (in technology, in society, and in politics) that i tend to find steam punk more fantasy. More of an escape.

Man, as if that game (the first one, that is) weren't hard dodging guards who were going to whoop your ass on sight, the game adds fucking zombies that don't die.

What a headache.

Sometimes you can trick the builders into fighting and killing the zombies...

Man I loved those games.

I hadn't even heard the term until a couple of days ago. Not that I wasn't aware of the style, I just didn't know it had a name. As for a favorite, I do believe Last Exile counts...

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcanum:_Of_Steamworks_and_Magick_Obscura">Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura</a> wasn't bad if you're into that type of game although these days it's pretty dated. Made by some of the same people who made the fallout series.

<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469146/">The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello</a>. Grabbed it awhile ago but just watched it tonight. Odd little steampunk horror short story.
