Ralph McQuarrie was an amazing artist.
A feed I followed mentioned this link. I didn't realize how much of that work was one guy.
I was always far more interested in the mechanics of how they made the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films over the movies themselves. I
If you not checked out these books they're highly recommended. I still need to get the empire one, and I'm assuming a jedi book is forthcoming.

Ralph McQuarrie was an amazing artist. I remember in junior high saving $85 for these crazy expensive ILM art books just to be able to have the privilege of looking at his concept art and matte paintings whenever I wanted. I still have them today.
I was always far more interested in the mechanics of how they made the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films over the movies themselves. Ironically, my wife and I visited Treasure Island in the SF Bay today just to look over the building that was used as the setting for the Nazi nighttime book-burning scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Rest in peace, Ralph. You were an amazing artist, and you will be missed.

I've been resisting downloading a "Game of Thrones Season 1" torrent since I'd rather pay for it, but if it doesn't get on somewhere like Amazon or Netflix soon...
On dvd Tuesday from netflix...or $35 in blu from amazon.
I'll watch it on dvd first, but I'm looking forward to it.

Seeing as it was televised it's not like you're stealing it. You definitely have to watch it. The casting is virtually perfect. I love Peter Dinklage as Tyrion!
The casting is spot on, probably the best cast HBO has done since The Wire. I was really hoping to see Eva Green as Melisandre, but the woman they picked did pretty well in Black Death. |

I don't normally openly condone piracy, but do yourself a favor and do it already, you're really missing out. |

DXHR still in the top ten on Steam... good for it, although I'm still stuck on the last boss.
Easily one of my favs for last year. I'm about due for another play through, once I wrap up skyrim (est April...2015).

Ralph McQuarrie, 1929–2012. |

It's funny, but when we think about the people who are associated with Star Wars, names like George Lucas, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill (and even John Williams) come to mind, but usually not Ralph's. But everything we love about the way Star Wars looks came from Ralph's mind: the design of ships like the Falcon, X-Wing, and Tantive IV; the character design like Darth's insecto-skull mask, tusken raider, and Han's look; vehicle design like the sandcrawler and AT-AT; droid designs like R2D2 and the probe droid; creature designs like the rancor and banthas; location designs like cloud city, Yavin's moon, and the death star, all of these were created pretty much verbatim from Ralph's concept art.
I have bought several books of Ralph's drawings over the years, and I highly recommend them. The galleries over at ralphmcquarrie.com seem down right now, but you can view images over at Galactic Voyage.
In addition, Ralph designed the iconic Battlestar and Viper fighter for BSG, two of my all time favorite starship designs. |

Outbreak of kidney failure in Wyoming linked to Spice. |

Wyoming, Arrakis. No need for us earth-living folks to be concerned with this story.
Apparently the Spice grants immortality at the expense of your kidneys. Who knew?
UPDATE: In spite of my sad attempts at humor, this is a tragic story. The reason Spice was created at all was to skirt our draconian marijuana laws (Schedule 1? Really?? Alcohol is more dangerous, statistically). While obviously I don't think we should be selling MJ laced lollipops to toddlers, something as simple as decriminalization would have prevented this. MJ is a mild, non-addictive drug with valid medical uses, but the way we treat it in the USA is just stupid. This coming from a non-user, BTW.
