Aurora Borealis - A Cool Coincidence - Games

I was looking through Cooliris on Rusty Ship for a reference image for my drawing, and for whatever reason I got this for one result: [IMG]http://gcaptain.com/maritime/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/aurora-borealis-icebreaker.jpg[/IMG] Cool coincidence, huh? If anyone's bored, they could look into it, to see if anything else comes up. sorry if this has been done before.

Ship is sexy Looks like something scientist would use for sure.

Actually, the cut Borealis was based off the USCGC Polar Sea: [img]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa310/bz6568/US%20Coast%20Guard/USCGCPolarSeaWAGB-11-1.jpg[/img][img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/en/images/2/29/Borealis_E3_screen.jpg[/img] While the EP2 rendition is based off the newer USCGC Healy: [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/en/images/b/b5/USCGC_Healy_in_ice.jpg[/img][img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/half-life/en/images/8/87/Borealis_mini_episode_two.jpg[/img]

Funny thing, I was just using the USCGC Polar Seas' superstructure as a reference.

i didnt know the ep2 borealis had a fully textured model o-0

I just ate an ice cream called Aurora, that means GORDEN is G-Mens father!

I like the old Borealis more.

[QUOTE=martin518441;20209502]i didnt know the ep2 borealis had a fully textured model o-0[/QUOTE] its only half a ship. its only rendered to the point where you can see, and nothing more.

Well, I guess they'll be on... [IMG]http://www.insidesocal.com/tv/david-caruso-horatio-cain.jpg[/IMG] ...a motherfucking ship.

[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;20211555][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8F3UE9qFsg[/media][/QUOTE] I just saw it coming.

This may not even be a coincidence at all. It's highly possible that Valve modeled their Borealis after it

Oh god. 1st it's scientists trying to prove the existence of dark matter in the same place that HL1 was based in Now this? was the HL series like a look into the future or something?

First one's better.

Aurora borealis is another name for that light in the norths :eng101:
