Christopher Walken is not fond of the technology:
“I don’t have technology. I only have a satellite dish on my house. So I’ve seen #Severance on DVDs that they’re good enough to send me. I don’t have a cell phone. I’ve never emailed or, what do you call it, Twittered.”

Captains, if you could change or improve ONE single thing about Starfield, what would it be?
If you have time to explain it, please do.
Thanks!

@RealEmirHan Definitely Dennis Hopper v Chistopher Walken in True Romance.

@RalphEmmers I was not the model for that card or any other image of Dash Rendar. I "rendered" Dash Rendar from photos of a model we hired named Zeb (a great Star Wars name, BTW) twitter.com/jonk1969/statu…

And the only sketch I did for the Shadows of the Empire box art, which I otherwise made entirely in Photoshop. But I needed to figure out what Dash Rendar's face looked like.

The Super Nintendo Star Wars trilogy was great fun to make. We had a great team at #LucasArts and at #SculpturedSoftware.

This review also includes an excerpt from an episode of the TV program "La nuit cyber" broadcast on the French Canal + in 1993 where Jon Knoles ( @jonk1969 ) appears explaining how they adapted the movements of Vader - youtube.com/watch?v=siLdr5…

When you see the Taito logo, what's the first game that comes to mind?

@jonk1969 @retrogaminglive I'd love to but... I can't give this wretched hive of scum and villainy any money.

@jonk1969 Any chance we could get you to surprise commentate our Shadows of the Empire speedrun race during The Kessel Run on @retrogaminglive? Sunday May 5th around 5:30pm Pacific.

@BMac_Attack_64 @retrogaminglive Odd. This site has gone to shit, for sure. It's why I'm rarely checking it. I'm not verified, why should you be to send me a dm?

@Noonz Now that's the movie where Connery should have said "some things in here don't react well to bullets"

@XwingGameSeries @NightdiveStudio Today, I'd be accused of "copy-paste recycled content." But clever reuse of content was part of how we made so many games in such a short span of time back then.
English
Did you know that Jon Knoles @jonk1969 author of X-Wing game cutscenes used some of his work for Dark Forces game?
Dark Forces Remaster by @NightdiveStudio will remaster it now.

I've generally been avoiding this site but wanted to express my sadness about the death of #CarlWeathers. Legend.

@DavidWCollins I provided the shrieks of the Bando Gora, doing my best impersonation of Roger Waters in some early Pink Floyd tunes. Of course now there's even a YT video of that: youtu.be/zcXBF357G4o?si…

@jonk1969 Oh man! I always thought that was you! Crazy.
Anyway, still so proud to have worked with you on that game, thinking about it 21 years later

#StarWarsBountyHunter was a massive project early in my career with game dev legend @jonk1969 (who does a killer George impression in the unlockable bonus video in the clip below)
“You’re a Bounty Hunter. You don’t NEED dialog.” Ironic, as the story in this game is really great
The Spaceshipper 🚀@TheSpaceshipper
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (LucasArts) was released 21 years ago today. With a TV ad that's The Mandalorian before its time.

@BardenBuilds Nice! I like yours a lot too! I've also changed mine to a nova cockpit (and most of my habs are nova, too).

@jonk1969 I'm a huge fan of the Outrider, it was one of my favorite childhood spaceships. Here is my version of it, which turned out pretty close to your Starfield version. Thank you for the original badass design!
English
Updated #StarWars Outrider replica in Starfield, this one more proportionally correct to my original blueprints and 3D model based on Doug Chiang's awesome design. Great fun to fly through asteroids in combat!

This is too awesome for words. Blind gamer slaying the track in #ForzaMotorsport :

@jonk1969 Glad to hear from you. I am not finding you on blu skies, so, if Twitter gets paywalled or whatever - where You will hang around?
