Star Control 3 - The Mycon Trip Out a Bit

[mrfalafl]

They couldn't make this game any worse if they tried.

[LanceVader]

Not very Myconish at all. It's like they're really talking to the captain!

[HaystackCaldoon]

Deep Child is wiiiiild.

[CucciCadet]

I am going to release my deep children into my girlriend tonight, therefore furthering Juffo-Wup.

[Toedeldoe]

So that's what Pete Pirahnaplant sounds like. No wonder Mario kills him on the spot.

[wardogthemasterofwar]

Their suppose to be talking about Juffo Wup!!! Lol.

[BLARGHALT]

Pah. Non-sequitur and incoherent ramblings define the Mycon.

[Navelfluffman]

Good god. That voice is horrible. Personally I had no problems with the SC2 voices, and the Mycon voice was actually pretty good... But THIS... it sounds a bit retarded. Like someone trying to imitate Japanese accent very badly.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

It's weird you say that, since I thought the SC2 Mycon voice was really dull.

[Navelfluffman]

Nooo! The Mycon voice was none other than the almighty Paul Reiche III himself!

He actually was.

@ZarlaSheenaza

The SC2 Mycon voice... I think it sounds a little to human. I do like how it sounds friendly though. The Mycon might BE hostile, but I can imagine how they don't SOUND hostile. Just sort of rambly.

The SC3 voice... it's a bit to slow and droning I think.

I think to be honest many SC races never quite did get a voice how I'd imagine them to sound.

[Tsunkuotaku]

honestly I always thought the only thing SC3 did right was the Mycon voice.

[thegyger]

The voice almost sounds like "His Divine Shadow" only sleepier.

[Shavarnarak]

I wonder why they made the Mycon look like a de-stemmed piranha plant sitting on a rock.

They looked more like either a jellyfish (ship captains picture) or a pitcherplant/portugues man'o war type of critter with tendrils in both versions. Either look was cooler and more expressive.

[snkaes251]

"I yearn for magma." Gotta love that line...so creepy.

[Kizor]

...sigh. Out-of-character use of recycled dialogue aside, the voice acting compares disfavorably to that of Star Control 2's 3DO version, which was much older than SC3. (The latter is - SHAMELESS PLUG - on my video, search for "Overlong Assortment", at around 7:00).

SC3 Mycons sound like someone trying imitate a mysterious enigma of an alien. SC2 Mycons sound like a mysterious enigma of an alien. Bonus points for turning Precursors from HEAR US AND TREMBLE to machine monotone.

[ZarlaSheenaza]

Ugh, the voiceacting in Starcon2 makes me want to stab my eardrums with an icepick, although I will admit that the Mycon were not as hideous as some of the others. They both sound boring in both games.

[raakone]

To best appreciate Mycon speech, you need a set of bongo drums. Sometimes it sounds like Beatnik poetry, but even more "far out." I like the parts where you hear Precursor speech.

It's amazing how many lines from Star Control 2 were recycled.
