Tiberian Dawn -- background on the conflict 3

[Tumoxa89]

Are limitless ( *_*).....

[imlost19]

a non-carbon based element? Aren't all elements except for... carbon... non-carbon based? I think he means a non-carbon based molecule, or what have you.

[MegaAstrodude]

@imlost19,

Lol, they say it's an element and then say it's a life form. Video game scientists are the best.

[TheBlitz1]

best..... game........ever

[IMN666]

the nod version is better, and with true information

[EzekelFalcon]

mobius is talking technobabble there. "uneven positrons in the 2nd 4th and 9th quadrants" - that doesn't even mean anything

(seriously... how would you define "evenness" of a positron, it's a point particle. and lets disregard the fact that it'd annhilate with electrons to create light. i don't remember any organic components glowing when infected, only the leeched crystals glow in the game).

[5master11111]

@EzekelFalcon no, he said "unequal positrons orbiting on the first, second, and ninth quark rings."

[EzekelFalcon]

@5master11111 it still doesn't actually mean anything though, quarks don't have orbital rings, and positrons (and other fermions) do not orbit quarks.

[andrewames247]

@EzekelFalcon That is the point of technobabble...to sound realistic and important, and act as filler where needed. The first "accurate" description of Tiberium came out with C&C 3.

[EzekelFalcon]

@andrewames247 i wouldn't say that really, i mean in tib wars they completely ret-conned what tiberium is. turning it from a biological component with mutagenic properties (which yes i know doesn't make sense, but at least offers interesting potentials for story and gameplay), into basically glowing crystaline structures with the properties of "selective" strangelets. and then there's the whole "sonic vibrations destroy tiberium" (which i don't have enough chars to go into why it's bad here)

[FekLeyrTarg]

The Science Show host acts like he would understand anything at all.

[TheDutchGame]

The mobius in C&CRenagade looks much older and wiser then in this game.

In here he looks stupid, acts stupid and well HE IS STUPID!

[danielchen87]

Is "eddie" played by the chap who plays BG Sheppard?

[DieOfGoodLuck]

According to the credits, Sheppard was played by a guy named Eric Martin, and the "Science Show Host" by a fellow named R.C. Favero.

Sorry for the reply having come so late by the way.

[c06031983]

R.I.P. Dr. Mobius.

[5master11111]

XCC for the win!

[Censu11]

lol it's Mobius!

[5master11111]

"An obvious lunatic." -Kane

[FekLeyrTarg]

I like the version with Kane's live commentary better.

[dragonstormx]

Science talk is right. My dog is easier to understand then that guy.

[Raveshaw2002]

"HO HO! is that good or bad?" i really laughed very much that scene!

[Razukin]

In what game does Mobius die in? I mean, he is still alive in Renegade^^

[Oneworld87]

Renegade is set during the first game

[FekLeyrTarg]

According to the databanks in CnC3, Mobius died in an ion during the 2nd Tiberium War (Tiberian Sun).

[dieselboy87]

ah that sucks :(

[FekLeyrTarg]

I agree. He was so funny. But I don't accept Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath as canon anyways. (even if they're fun)

[ThinkingRebal]

Good thing the TRA got all his reseacrh about Tib

[aeomus26]

1:21 0_0!!!!!

[LaJin9292]

xD

I have now no means of ever removing that image from my memory.

[Riku1135]

OMG wow tiberium found its way onto iceland: the crystal from hell

[zenophas]

did'nt dr. mobius die?

[Tallacus]

he dies later

[MechaTailsMK2]

Mobius died along with his research team when he was in his experimental bunker during an Ion Storm.

[Raveshaw2002]

poor mobius! he was such a nice guy... I can be Raveshaw2002, but i really have to admit, mobius was a pretty nice man!

[Tallacus]

that sure is some science talk

[xlonewolf807x]

why isnt there any tib in antartica?

[DrCropes]

Because according to the Tiberian Sun game it's too cold, the soil lacks any real nutrients, and the soild that does exist is barried under meters of snow to permit the growth of any tiberium.

[MechaTailsMK2]

I think there is, if you look closely to the mountainous region of antartica, there is a small amount of tiberium.

[hostagecrisis]

i really dont understand a word mobius is saying! lol

[Roguethoughts]

You aren't supposed too... It's mostly technobabble.

Basicly its not carbon based (All Earth life is carbon based)

It is dangerous to Carbon based life (Duh)

[Esurnir]

This video is gold, I love mobius, but I really don't mind the change in c&c 3. more immersive

[coldpimp2006]

Shes said exposure lol

[1337Shockwav3]

Wow ... last time someone found that funny, was when beavis & butthead started airing on MTV in the early 90's

[Big0Jack]

That part with Mobius always made me rofl. XD

[SIRUS84]

Wow bad acting on the scientist. C&C Tiberian Trilogy(Tiberian Sun, Firewall and C&C 3) acting has improved a lot. Gotta love Michael Ironside heck of an actor.

[RickSnyder]

nah, old actors are much better. i don't like the "drunk" camera view of the new one, either

[Visceroid]

The trilogy is Dawn(which is this one), Sun and Twilight, for your information.

[DexterNova]

Mobius is a nerd... but his Daughter is HOT :p

[LionTroy]

He...has a daughter?

[Tallacus]

in renegade he does, her name is Sydney

[firefbx]

Dr Mobius is a man as you can see and Sydney is his daughter.

[coldpimp2006]

Yeah i know

[GeneralODanO]

This FMV is depicted in this video -> Good job :-).

I watched the 4 parts of the "C&C Background on the conflict" series. Well done.

How did you extract them from the game? I tried to go through the game folders, but unfortunately the FMVs are neither saved as MPEGs nor AVIS.

[RickSnyder]

its inside the games mix file. neither mpg nor avi. but i guess theres tools around the net to extract them. i had one, 8 years ago. =)

[GeneralODanO]

Doing so my self I sarted replaying the C&C games and got lost in good old memories...

Casting back my mind to C&C, Tiberium, KANE and Dr. Mobius, I remembered one FMV in C&C 1 with the latter, which always makes me laugh when seeing it.

[GeneralODanO]

All world waits for the groundbreaking C&C sequel due this month.

But while we are waiting it is good to look at what we have witnessed so far in the past decade.
