they had pet worms in dune for ceremonies. Go figure! Also they used them for attacks, like ... horses. WTF!

I wonder if that would look right in a Fallout game?
 
Urrrrrgh... someone on my street is cooking something that smells like pancakes and now I want to make some.

Here's an AT-AT made of pancakes. Do wanty?

I feel obligated to make a few corrections here, as I feel this kind of thoughtlessness characterizes Dune as pretty shallow and dumb.
Nobody keeps worms as pets, the Fremen drown newborn worms alive, and then cultivate, and trip balls off the death-bile that they puke up, if that's what you're referring to. I think the ASPCA and PETA would frown on this kind of practice with pets.
They don't casually brandish their knives about, all cavalier like pirates *arg matey*. Every time they unsheath their knives, it must draw blood. Meaning, if you do such a thing alone, you have to stab yourself.
Thirdly, and I'm absolutely shocked and chagrined by this, I tell you. One does not simply fish-hook a worm and jump on it's back like a horse, that's just silly (it would dive, crush or eat you - they are not domesticated worms) and betrays the thoughtfulness put into how it's actually described in the book.
http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Maker_hook
Use of Maker hooks brings the boldness of the Fremen into sharp focus. After activating a thumper to summon a giant Maker, the hookman (first mounter) stood aside from the approaching worm. As the Maker went by, the hookman inserted one hook beneath the leading edge of one of the sandworm's rings, and the other hook at a slightly lower point on the next ring.

The hookman braced himself back on (he hooks, rolling upward with the worm as it rotated away from the threat of sand entering the gap opened by the two hooks. Once up, the hookman and followers steered the worm by opening gaps down one side of the beast, prompting it to roll away from the gaps to prevent sand getting in.

It makes way more sense and has more integrity than the silly way it's characterized.

Plus, that worm totally looks like a shlong, dude.
:beavis laugh:
 
The cool thing is that when you succesfully ride a giant Maker, a kickass guitar riff plays in the background.
It's actually hardwired into the universe.

eh no problem dude. We are all fallout fans. If someone understand fan-rage then we!

I characterized it for more "fun". I have read the one or other dune novel and I watched the old and new dune movie (though both ... lacked something but the old one is one of the best and not just only because one of my favorite artists Giger did the chairs/sets for the movie though I think the "new" movie was closer to some parts of the books).

Anyway. Dune is one of the better sci fi stories. Someone should do a kickstarter thing so we get some new dune game.

Just wait what happens when you drink worm-water! it gives you the POOOWA!
 
I thought I left enough hints that I was being tongue in cheek.

That Giger stuff wasn't in Lynch's Dune, he did that for Jodorowsky's failed Dune. Lynch thought it was too recognizably Giger-y and Alien-y, which is probably right.

Cool stuff, but it's none too subtle and screams Giger, and Alien derivative, which wouldn't have served it well.

Jodorwosky had planned a separate artist, music, theme, leitmotif whatever for each planet, with Giger doing the Harkonnens. Moebius did a lot of design for it too.

That's Mexican food.
 
yes, I remember it that was what they had planed for the first movie project though ... at least thats what I remember Moebius telling about it. But it seems the project was canceled.
 
Speaking of Giger - Brain Salad Surgery by Emerson, Lake And Palmer has one of his designs. Apparently he drew a dick in front of the ladies mouth, something the guys in the band thought was cool, but the record label were horrified, obviously the dick had to go.

yeah it kinda is not even half as disturbing like the way how Giger envisioned it

also he was as well responsible for the creature in Species and a few other movies. I think he even did the one or other thing for games (Quake maybe? No clue)
