    SWC Tiger's Claw

    But... there's no evidence the PTC was unsafe. IIRC, the KS manual cites reliability issues. Something having questionable reliability isn't the same as being unsafe to operate. Really, I think people put too much emphasis on Angel's 60% warning. Being "by the book" as she is, I'm betting she...

    GMC sales are still fairly good. Pontiac sales... aren't. Ultimately, whatever the motorheads may think, the general "eh, it's just transportation" crowd rather handily outnumbers them.

    WC4 question

    You just have to get close enough to count the individual rivets on the target's fuselage, where the spread is minimal. Mind you, by the time I was done playing through, I'd ran through half of the UBW's annual paint budget, just by them having to replace paint scraped off from getting too...

    Best/worst Sci Fi Movie

    No, he's in the thread for the worst Sci Fi movie. DaveO was talking about all movie genres. And by the way, Dave, if anything Indy is a "rip-off" of Allan Quartermain (Quatermain in the original work). The original book "King Solomon's Mines" came out in 1885, with movies made of it in 1937...

    WCIV is back on 24

    I think you need to check your timing a bit, grasshopper10. Almost all of the actors in WC FMV were famous looooong before 1994. And some of those who did get some more air time after being in WC4 aren't all that famous now. Without looking at any movie database, how many things can you name...

    Best/worst Sci Fi Movie

    While time travel in general isn't my favorite subject (at least a few times I've probably been one of those people complaining about time travel in ST that LOAF mentioned, above), due mostly to how a lot of the stories that use it are generally kinda lousy at handling causality and such, I...

    I guess having the grandchildren of people of this generation in hock wasn't enough, now they're gunning for great-grandchildren as well... :rolleyes:

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    Except for that little bit about a detailed timeline in the "Voices of War" manual, from both Kilrathi and Terran viewpoints. But that's not important. :rolleyes:

    IMDb is your friend. (One of these days I'll get up the ambition to make a monstrously epic list of IMDb entries for everyone who has any credits for working with/in the WC series listed there. But not today.)

    WC4

    Before you worry about the joystick patch, you may want to calibrate the stick in Windows, first, to see if that helps any. Generally speaking, it's usually a good idea to try fixes not involving more installed software before going to patches/drivers/etc, in my experience.

    Jazz vs. Seether

    Experience and treachery will beat youth and enthusiasm 9 out of 10 times. Especially when the other guy is too fixated on his current target to respond to a more immediate threat than a beat-to-hell medium fighter, as shown in the novelization. That said, while Seether was above average for...

    Ford's survival I'm not too worried about. Chrysler and GM I'm not so sure, even given all that you mentioned. Unfortunately, a lot of the detail behind that is based on what political stuff I see, like a union-friendly/capitalism-unfriendly Congress and questionable environmental policies...

    Of course, of those three, there's a question of which one's manufacturer will still be around in a few years... I can't comment on comparing the numbers, though, as I haven't really looked at them. Besides, I'm more of a fan of turbo 4s in light-ish cars (though I won't deny that...

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    Which seems a bit odd, considering that SWC Paladin didn't have a similar restriction on flying. Of course, no matter which game you talk about with Paladin flying in it, he sucks, with or without both eyes working. :p

    Which wingman of all time would you take to Kilrah?

    Officially, Blair chooses Rachel, and Flint is the pilot who died on the Kilrah run.

    How to get a girlfriend if you're a hopeless nerd.

    How about at least pretending that this isn't the Maxim magazine forums (if they even have them, dunno and don't care)...

    Wing Commander Music Videos and youtube

    YouTube uses automated scripts and such to handle most complaints, as scripts don't require salaries. Copyright complaints, valid or not (see Scientology vs Anonymous, for the latter) is one of the common ways to trip those scripts, which collectively have the virtual IQ of tapioca pudding.

    Jazz vs. Seether

    Please don't back-seat moderate. If you see something that you think is breaking the rules (or even may be a bit shady), use the report button (the exclamation point in a box) to notify the mods/admins. Rule #1, I believe. Versus threads entirely within the WC canon are generally given more...

    Nope, after WC4 there's no mention of the Lex, assuming I'm not forgetting something important in StarSoldier. (Biiiiig assumption, there. :p )
