April Fools' joke or not, I'd actually like to see something like this happen for real. Just not at the expense of an existing project, like FC. :p

We already had the discussion about Secret Ops not being an add-on to Prophecy in another thread, just a few days ago. I know the intarweb is supposed to have a short memory, but not that short.

IIRC, as per the WC4 novelization and False Colors, while the Kilrathi were to have destroyed all but self-defense forces, some of the clans disagreed with it, to the point of being involved in a multi-way civil war for leadership of the Kilrathi.

The Leeched Lexington (which, if you defect at the first offer, you can do with leech guns instead of missiles) has its lights off, IIRC, but is otherwise intact. Part of me wouldn't mind having the novel option, though. :p (self-destructing the torp in front of the launch bays to disable the...

Defensive tackle is what covers the quarterback (the throw-y guy) so the other team doesn't turn him into a strawberry smear on the ground, figuratively speaking. In this case, I meant he was covering for Sosa, so she could decrypt the copied messages without people hassling her for every need.

This argument is starting to suck so much it's on the verge of creating a black hole. For the most part, gaming industry already is standardized, except when someone wants to look like they're S-M-R-T smart by citing a toy encyclopedia to back up their argument from ignorance. As Twain said...

As per WC4N and other sources, Blair does have a degree in Electrical Engineering. Which, apparently, is enough to qualify one for a comm officer, which was what he was also doing, initially, after defecting to the UBW, even if his practical purpose was to play "defensive tackle" (to borrow from...

The comparison wasn't of the respective operating models, but about how both promise functionality that can't be realistically delivered.

Stupid and bound for failure, for multiple reasons. Lag is the biggie. With "twitch" based games on the current model, a few dozen milliseconds is enough to make the difference between life and death, all other things (skill, hardware, etc) being equal. Under OnLive's system, you get the lag...

You've been around long enough to know better than that, Quarto. :p I'm not going to encourage a stupidly wrong personal interpretation contrary to the facts.

Poll fixed, just because I could.

(As I was going to say before I wound up not being able to connect to crius.net...) I have to echo the Raptor comments. On the other hand, any list of contenders for worst gun loadout would have to, IMO, include the Crossbow. 3 MDs and 2 Neutrons suck up juice like no tomorrow. If your aim...

You were drunk at the time, the oversight is forgivable. :D

Never underestimate the ability of a person to rationalize away why they're an idiot. Or, somewhat less cynically, the common inability to admit to screwing up (yes, guilty as charged, at times).

Would've been good enough for Armada, though, according to the box specs. :) (4MB for the floppy version, 8MB for CD one. However, you could copy the CD contents to your HD and install from there, making the difference a moot point.)

Yes, KF-100 is the designation for the variant seen in the movie.

Yeah, the switches are added into the "Target" field that you see in the properties for the shortcut, though I can't remember offhand if it has to be inside or outside of the quotation marks (I think inside, but not sure).

To be slightly fair to the Mt. Saint Helens, unlike the Midway it was caught without a significant fighter presence in space already. (Only slightly fair, though. Peace or war, you should always have something in space, for when Murphy [the law, not the destroyer] rears its ugly head. :p )

Internet nerd RAEG [sic] is the absolute last thing anyone who actually makes things should listen to.

I'm starting to get the impression that not only is this thread due to be closed, it's overdue. Unlike wine, stupidity doesn't improve with age. But for now I'm not. Don't make me regret it.
