Wav Files: Battlestar Gallactica

Any fanatic of Battlestar Gallactica knows that they must expose themselves to it as often as possible. Well, this is not true; but if it is, you know how the videos can get a little tiresome right? Those who are are interested in a new medium to enjoy Battlestar Gallactica, might enjoy listening to a snippet or two from the television program. Look no further, here is a list of a few Wav files containing the best audio of Battlestar.

www.sciflicks.com
You will be excited to know that this particular website contains a diverse list of audio for you to listen to. From the Imperious Leader, to Commander Adama, you can enjoy a few of the best snippets of audio from the television show. In addition, next to the name, you also see the text of what is being said or the sound effect you are hearing. The list of files is not as large as you would like since even I heard them all in a matter of minutes. Still, this is one for the list.

www.msu.edu/~stacey/Galactica/gal-sound.htm
I found it strange that Michigan State University had a page on their site that focuses on sounds of Battlestar Gallactica; but I guess seeing is believing right? Actually, they have a very comprehensive list of files for direct download to your computer. Sadly, many of the files say they are unavailable so I guess it's time to move to the next site.

http://www.dailywav.com/ba.php

This is a great site for all sorts of sounds but for our purposes, we need it for Battlestar. basically, I just hit the link to all "BA" sounds and scrolled down to Battlestar. You can do the same. It takes 5 minutes to get to the page. In addition, you will find a few lines of audio that you might find interesting. The only downside to this one is the order of the files are in, date added to the site. This is actually not much of a problem, so enjoy.

http://www.battlestargalactica.com/bgdownload.htm
This site is very different than the others. Unlike the other sites, this one offers audio interviews. If you are interested in interviews of Katee Sackhoff and Richard hatch, you might get a kick out of this resource. They describe there experiences with the show and special memories they have of the show.

I think you're ready to get started. I have given you a few sites for you to spend time on. Enjoy the different sounds and make sure to look around the rest of those sites as well, they have a lot more to offer.

Battlestar Galactica New Merchandise

We all love the old version of Battlestar Gallactica but we like the new one better. I know I like enjoy the graphics and special effects of the new version rather than the old one. I don't usually buy merchandise for TV shows, but some of the items are pretty cool so I did take a look at them.

I want to know what you think of all the stuff they sell from the movie. Do you like it? What is your favorite item? Did you buy anything? Where did you get it - do you recommend that place for everyone else? These are just a few questions I am interested in. I want to see what everyone says.

I have been surfing around and I found some stuff that I think is a little over the top. Please let me know if you agree. I found the collectable cards. Now, does every television show that caters to kind of a "nerdy" crowed, have to make a collectable card game? I have to admit, I have played Magic the Gathering because I was young and it seemed really cool at the time. I liked the graphics of the cards and the game as a whole. Now, this card game goes too far. Just because they have enough characters to make a card game doesn't mean they have to make one. I'm sure the cards look interesting, but how great could the game possibly be? I hate to think of what people actually play. ( If you play this game, let us know so you can correct me...and sorry for attacking your game:)



I think I am allowed to talk like this because I have played the star wars card game and I did not much like it. It might be because I don't watch the show and my friend needed someone to play with. I could be wrong, it could have been a great game. If only, he would have given me some cards that were more powerful instead of all the common stuff.

Okay, now it's your turn. What do you think of the items they sell for this show? Do you like them? Do you think there the greatest thing so you bought the whole set and have them in your room...in it's sacred original packaging to preserve it's worth and greatness?!

In any case, let us know what you think...

How To Buy Battlestar Gallactica Episodes - 12 Steps To happieness (Nerds Only!)




Battlestar Gallactica is such an amazing series that everyone has to watch them all the time. To do this, we can't just rely on the television to provide us with the sustenance necessary to sustain us through our life.

If there was every a blackout or something similar to that, you would have to rely on your i-pod and the episodes you downloaded into it so you can infuse yourself with at least 2 hours of BSG. Basically, there must be some way to find out how we can download battlestar gallactica episodes so we can watch the show 24 hours a day! I want to go through all the ways to get your hands on this amazing show!

Buy the episodes yourself (The Geek way)

This sounds like your regular ordinary method of acquiring the episodes, we know and love; but, some people are unaware of the ideas of currency exchange for goods/services. The following is a step by step guide of paying to download Battlestar Gallactica episodes.

1. Please remove the chip crumbs from your gut (or lack there of if you are one of those super metabolism geeks like me)

2. Place video game/remote controller on the floor, table, or just throw it at your dog.

3. Speed walk (running may cause loss of breath and tiredness) your way to the nearest computer without knocking over your starwars/startreck figurines. I don't know about you, but I am tired of replacing my Luke Skywalker toy all the time!

4. Log on to your computer with your screen name, "quantum75" or whatever nerdy screen name you have (that one is mine so stay away all of you.)

5. I already assumed that you stole your mother’s credit card since you are at this point. If you have not taken it already, do so now. If you are a fellow McDonald’s employee then you have less explaining to do to your parents when they get the bill for $500 worth of porn (THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN.)

6. Please remember to erase your Google search and your history because we all know your father has seen your crazy fetishes in the search when he types in the letter "b" and suggestions for "Barbra Walters Naked".

7. Now that you ordered, all you have to do is wait. Sadly, you have no patients because you want to watch those tapes right now so you should go outside for a walk.

8. Please be careful of any bullies, or little kids that want to beat the crap out of you. If one such little kid decides to mess with you, just pull the calculator out of your pocket; graph the trajectory of the angle and the velocity it will take for you to launch your pen in the kid’s eye just hard enough for you to run flee.

If in the off chance the kid blocks your girly throw, make sure to fall into a fetal position to reduce pain of beating.

9. As you walk home beaten, you can feel reassured that your new blue ray disks of Battlestar Gallactica are on there way. Again you are bored so you feel that you must do something to kill time and you already memorized everything you had to do for school for the next 6 years of your life so you resort to the internet. Post on your favorite forums 6,000 times a day minimum to reduce boredom. Use words like, "noob, "choob", "lol", :), "teh", "poo", "u", and so on... to keep yourself more entertained. Also, make sure to make fun of stupid videos on youtube, and stalk people on myspace that you like.

10. After a couple of days, you will get tired of typing and your eyes have formed some kind of extra sticky "glaze" that you can't get off so you should go to bed.

11. Awakening from your 19 hour sleep, you decide you have "the munchies" (you think your cool for thinking that because people who get high say it...but we all know you are too much of a wuss.) Now, you go to 7-11 avoiding that dam 6 year old that took care of you the other day by taking the back alley. Of course you buy a double gulp because it is the best price per ounce of soda. You then take a bag and fill it with those 25 cent hostess things like brownies and zebra cakes (mmm...zebra cakes, you think to yourself.) You take your horde to your room where you proceed to eat. Now that your full, you go back to sleep.

12. 2 days later, your package comes in the mail. You rip it from the hands of the UPS guy with your cheesy Doritos fingers. The guy almost gags so to avoid more embarrassment; you just sign your name and let him go. Then you snort in the vinyl covering and let out a snort for good measure. Just as you decide that you want to rip the plastic off, you think to yourself that you can't open it because you need it to be a collectable so you leave it in the plastic, place it in a new balance show box and never open it again.

Needless to say, you just end up watching the show that night anyway. You find that there are 100 episodes of the show on every day so you watch them all. Anyway, this is a basic guide to getting your hands on every Battlestar Gallactica episode in the world. Please use this is a guide when you have to get the episodes into your room for whatever you want to do with them.
