S4 E143 We Were Wanderers (Aug 2024)

Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes August 21, 2024 Leave a reply

A Star Citizen extravaganza: this week, we discuss a brilliant re-creation of Erik Wernquist’s epic short, Wanderers, released by one of its creators Mr Hasgaha. Whilst this is a faithful scene-by-scene depiction of the original, its actually so much more than that too. We comment once again on the incredible qualities of the game, and how the fact it is an open world reflects the original inspiration for Wernquist’s film: the artwork of Chesley Bonestell, whose paintings were partly the reason that NASA exists today. The machinima also pays homage to Carl Sagan in the only way it can, to his words in the iconic book Pale Blue Dot. If you have only particles of space nerd in you, we think you’ll absolutely love this week’s film, certainly we all do.
