    Star Trek: Picard | Free Series Premiere Episode on Youtube

    If I had to rank the trek series right now I'd rate them like this: Discovery's problem has everything to do with Burnham. She's a shit character all around. Personally, I'd give her a dishonorable discharge at the end of season 1. Doesn't matter that she ended the war, her mutiny and actions...

    Star Trek: Picard | Free Series Premiere Episode on Youtube

    Reverse engineering a manufacturing process, a complete set of blueprints, and a substitute for microcode/firmware from a microscopic piece of a final product is a lot like taking a single strand of our 46 strands and trying to recreate a human, yes. :D

    Star Trek: Picard | Free Series Premiere Episode on Youtube

    Personally, I like the way Star Trek Online explained the destruction of Romulus. It wasn't the Romulan system's sun that went nova, it was the Hobus system's sun. There's way more to it than that but you're better off playing through the story missions, no spoilers here. If you aren't prone to...

    Decades Later, A Legend Returns... (January 28, 2020)

    Huh, I was so focused on the design of the gun when I watched the show I never even really looked at the knife. Damn thing looks like a spaceship model they picked up one day and decided it would look cool as a gun. If anything I'm slightly reminded of a Kamrani when I look at it. I have the...

    WCP OGL + DVD Movies

    Windows 10 1909 x64 pro. Same issue as weise. Tried using mpeg2dec, the ac3 filter, klite, etc. It's almost like the videos are playing but relegated to a background layer or something. All I get is a black screen when those movies play (I can hear them just fine). I took an afternoon about a...

    Happy New Poll! (January 2, 2020)

    I wouldn't call Unknown Enemy, Standoff, and Saga to be small contributions. If anything, they're better than anything EA would be likely to make now, unless they could find a way to fill it with recurrent user spending. I think we'll see a nice mod or two for Outlaw take shape in the next year...

    WC3: what if you could win with Behemoth?

    I read up on this a long time ago, so correct me if I'm wrong with any detail. What's funny is that Japan had been putting out feelers for a bit about surrendering before we dropped the bombs. Yes, they wanted to keep some of the territories they'd acquired but the only non-negotiable point was...

    WC3: what if you could win with Behemoth?

    I never liked the ending either to be honest. Both superweapons felt too much like star wars for me. I would've loved a desperate push to Kilrah with an assault fleet where you released one of any number of attacks on it as they were gearing up towards earth. I would've loved more ambiguous...

    Hong Kong Controversy Ensnares WC Vet (October 13, 2019)

    Yeah, no. This site is in no way like that. The closest analogy I could make to this site, is this: A gated privately funded monument with a guest sign in sitting in the middle of the city. It has public access, since the guest sign in only serves to know who is speaking, and is not by invite...

    Hong Kong Controversy Ensnares WC Vet (October 13, 2019)

    The way I see it, if corps want to be treated as people legally, then that comes with some responsibilities. Not to mention the people running these corps. I think there needs to be a provision in the law that holds private companies to the same freedom of speech rules that the government has to...

    Did Blair really die at the end of Prophecy?

    Yes, but at the same time audiences have exploded into the millions. Wing Commander 1 cost $80 on release if I remember right, but there were relatively few customers. Halo can charge $60 easily because of the sales of the game. It will easily sell a couple million copies. The problem with...

    Did Blair really die at the end of Prophecy?

    Given how EA has pretty much abandoned the IP, it is whatever we say it is until they revive it. :D (It'll be a horrible lootbox laden micro transaction live service mess though going by current EA releases)

    Rebel Galaxy Outlaw!

    I read a tweet a couple of days ago that said that even though it would be launched on the epic games store, it would be drm-free. That way I can play it on the go and not have to rely on a shoddy internet connection and other bs. This will be excellent on the gpd win 2 I hope! Hopefully I won't...

    need help trying to upgrade home router

    Personally I use a netgear nighthawk R7000 with tomato firmware. Do you know if TP Link supports ddwrt or tomato?

    Space Sim First Look: Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (May 25, 2019)

    Personally, I hope GOG Galaxy 2.0 allows me to install the epic launcher and then ignore it from then on. I agree with them to partner with epic for distribution. They would be stupid not too. They probably got a good influx of cash and the revenue split will be much more favorable to them. I'll...

    Space Sim First Look: Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (May 25, 2019)

    I'm looking forward to this more than anything else this year, I think. It's just too bad that early 2019 has came and gone, no release, and twitter has been silent.

    Forbes Explores Star Citizen History (May 4, 2019)

    Not so much as you would think. Most proper investors these days use something like the bloomberg terminal. Forbes is more like the old popular science of the financial world. Not a proper journal by any means but it still does contain some relevant information. I would say it's mostly for hands...

    Forbes Explores Star Citizen History (May 4, 2019)

    Yeah, I disagree. That type of conduct in his personal life along with the court statements he made about Gardiner say a lot. He either lied to the court (which specks to his professional behavior) or is now re-married to his ex psycho stalker. Either of these things cause me to re-evaluate his...

    Is it possible that the confederation could have won the kilrathi war after the Battle of Earth without the Temblor Bomb or Behemoth

    Yeah, I'm of the opinion that the writer of wc3 was looking for a way to increase the drama, and turn it into a trench run where you play luke skywalker and... The point is I've always thought that half the plot of wc3 was crap. Not to mention the armistice and the reactions to it, etc. It...

    All About Origin's CD-ROM Editions (January 30, 2019)

    My first exposure to Wing Commander was with the Underworld/WC II cd-rom bundle. I remember having to learn dos from scratch (I had a colecovision I played until my dad put a 386 together for me for Christmas that year). I still remember one of the taunts being something like "Die Bastards!" I...
