Stargate Atlantis / SG1 - Official Stargate Magazine: Issue 25

At Titan Magazines:



Stargate Magazine Issue 25

NEWS

Your gateway to fan heaven

We bring you all the latest news from the Stargate universe in The Official Stargate SG1/Atlantis Magazine, as well as exclusive set access and unmissable interviews and features. Check out this page for more information about what’s inside the latest issue, including an exclusive interview with Chris Judge!

Continuum at Comic-Con

The second Stargate SG-1 movie of the year premiered at this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con, and was watched by 300 guests on a 100-foot high screen. There was loads of stuff relating to Stargate SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis and Stargate Worlds happening at the event – we bring you all the news in this issue.

FEATURES

Cast Interviews

One Jaffa. One Staff. One Eyebrow. One Teal’c. A one-to-one with Chris Judge is the pick of this issue’s exclusive interviews with the cast of Stargate SG-1. He reveals all about the role he made his own, and tells us why he just doesn’t fit in as a rebel leader. Plus, Tony Amendola, the man behind the 132-year-old Jaffa warrior, talks freedom, gravel pits, and elbowing Jack in the face; Carmen Argenziano tells us how Jacob Carter changed his life; and Michael Welch on playing the 15-year-old Jack O’Neill in Fragile Balance.

Don S. Davis 1942-2008

Don Davis, the man behind the iconic General Hammond, sadly passed away on June 30th, leaving a body of work to which few actors could lay claim. As well known for his work as Major Garland Briggs in Twin Peaks, and as Scully’s father in The X Files as for his work on Stargate SG-1, Don managed to squeeze a lifetime of roles into his 20-year acting career. In this issue, we commemorate Don’s passing with commentary from those who knew him best, and from the man himself.

Jack O'Neill's guide to space exploration
“When your back’s up against the wall and there’s no tomorrow, just take one day at a time and remember, the bigger they are…et cetera.”

This pearl of wisdom could only come from Major General Jack O’Neill – when it comes to exploring strange new worlds and seeking out new life and new civilizations, he’s something of an expert. In this issue, as a tribute to SG-1’s heroic former leader, we present our guide to space exploration – Jack O’Neill style.

ISSUE SPOTLIGHT

Stargate Worlds

The Stargate-verse comes to the smaller screen in 2009 with the launch of Stargate Worlds, a Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG), which will let players travel the breadth of the Stargate universe. We bring you the full story in this issue, and speak to Dan Elggren, head of Cheyenne Mountain, the studio developing the game.

EXCLUSIVE EXTRAS:

Exclusive Fiction - SG-1 discover that traveling through the galaxy has its own set of rules in Murphy’s Law of Stargate Travel.

Classic Episode - The most popular Stargate SG-1 episode ever, Window of Opportunity, comes under the spotlight. Fruit loops anyone?

Carter’s Notebook - Carter takes us through the delicate balance that is The Stargate Program.

Level 28 - Think you’re good enough for the SGC? Find out with our devilishly hard quiz.

Stargate - Arizona Republic - Stargate Video Game

From The Arizona Republic (Mesa, AZ):

Mesa video game center creating 'Stargate Atlantis' game

by JJ Hensley

The Arizona Republic

Feb. 7, 2008 04:44 PM

They play a video game every day, and they take it extremely seriously.

But they're not the guys living in mom's basement, they're the creative team at Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, and in less than a year, the science fiction universe they're building in an office park in east Mesa will come to life for an eager worldwide audience.

**snipapge**

But the fourth quarter of 2008 will mark the first time fans can control those characters and live the story through a massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

All that familiarity and the expectations that come with the franchise put the game's designers at Cheyenne Mountain in a unique position, and not just because the 100 people who work there are on something of a professional island in Arizona.

**snippage**

That includes a contest, running through March, which allows intrepid fans the chance to have their own character integrated in the game, in addition to breathing life into the stale exterior shots seen on TV.

**snippage**

Doug Lundberg runs one at http://www.keenandgrave.com and said that Stargate fans are buzzing about the game, but other gamers are hedging their bets on the game's success.

"For Stargate, I think it's going to be a niche market, but there is a market out there for sci-fi games," Lundberg said. "Right now, most of the market is for fantasy games, like World of Warcraft or Warhammer, so people are desperate to go and play a sci-fi game. So Stargate definitely has potential."

GATES IN MOTION

GateWorld talks with Carl Coss



Stargate Worlds, the Massively Multiplayer game, is now in full-on production in Phoenix, Arizona, and GateWorld continues to bring you insider looks and interviews with the team bringing the MMO to life! Recently Carl Coss, the head of the animation department, recently took time with GateWorld editor/Stargate Worlds community manager David Read to discuss where his team is currently in the project.

Carl tells us about the excitement of being involved in the decision-making of the project, leading a team of animators, and trying to find time to animate himself. From animating a Goa'uld symbiote to a rudimentary Asgard walk, it's all a day at the office at Stargate Worlds!

GateWorld's interview with Carl runs 25 minutes. The video requires QuickTime 7.0 or higher. Can't play the file? It's also transcribed [at the site]!
