    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    It seems like they put more thought into "Playstation-izing" Wing Commander 4 than Wing Commander 3. Where as Wing Commander 3 is almost a straight port from the PC with new material in place of the ground missions, that doesn't exactly work very well on the Playstation hardware as the graphics...

    What I miss

    Of course none of the magic of playing through the Wing Commander games the first time can be recaptured because once you know what's going to happen, you know what's going to happen. It's amazing however that the story and acting of all the games are good enough that you actually want to play...

    Help for FL

    In any case Digital Anvil deserves a slap for releasing a broken patch and never bothering to fix it. I guess their rationality is download it if you want multiplayer but don't download it if you want single player. I always like to install all the latest patches before playing a new game...

    Help for FL

    There are some level-ups that require mission completions but this glitch happens when you don't have a mission assigned to you and you're just told to go out and make money. By the way if I remember correctly even if you have enough experience to level up it won't automatically do it when...

    Help for FL

    Yes, the problem is you updated to the 1.1 patch. The patch works fine for multiplayer, but unfortunately if you update your game the single player game has the glitch you're describing where you reach a certain level and can no longer level up (Hooray for untested microsoft updates!). The...

    Scientists Discover 10th Planet's Moon

    Yes, Neo and its moon Trinity, or how about Kirk and its moon Spock, or Maverick and its moon Maniac perhaps? :)

    15 Years of Wing Commander - What Was Your First Time Like?

    Wing Commander II was the first game I ever purchased for my first computer after hearing good things about the original. After playing it I wish I'd played the original first to know the characters and storyline better but still the story was deep enough to keep me completely enthralled. Up...

    Star Trek/Star Wars/Space Movies and their futures?

    I vote for the new Battlestar Galactica as well. It hasn't been spectacular but some episodes like the season finale last week really stand out. Trek remains my favorite over all but BSG is my current favorite.

    Virtual Reality Hamster Ball

    I don't even need the virtual reality part, I'd have fun playing with the ball.

    Runways

    All good reasons, the pass-through I thought was a great idea since watching the original battlestar Galactica. If someone's coming in hot and knows they're going to break up on the deck they can always abort the landing and keep going. As for the third reason I always had an idea in my head...

    Runways

    Exactly. Two words, combat landings. You don't have time to vertically land your entire compliment of fighters in a situation where every second counts. Sometimes skidding in straight and fast is the way to go.

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    http://www.syfyportal.com/ gets around to reporting the ratings eventually. How accurate they are I'm not sure. Anyway, I felt this episode was a throwback to the original series... not to mention its resemblance to the 1980 episode "The Return of Starbuck" which also featured Starbuck...

    Enterprise Officially Cancelled

    I didn't mind Nemesis so much honestly. It wasn't unwatchable. It was better in the theater because the battle scenes were actually mildly exciting, it's not at home however. I was just wondering throughout the film when massive capital ships started zooming around and battling like...

    Enterprise Officially Cancelled

    http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/news/article/9469.html Statement from startrek.com It might not be up when you first click on it because it's being flooded with people trying to read it. Apparently Trek isn't at the end of its rope just yet.

    Enterprise Officially Cancelled

    http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire2005/index.php?category=0&id=30302 Love it or hate it Enterprise will wrap up in May making it the first Trek since the original to not make it a full seven seasons. Personally I was never a big fan, but some episodes were pretty interesting and I'm sad to...

    If my phone started playing the scramble theme I'd start instinctively running down the hall while looking for a helmet to the confusion of everyone around me.

    Battlestar Galactica on SCI-FI.com - WOW!

    Moore was also asked in his blog thing if he realized the similarites between Bashir and Baltar and he said he didn't but now he's freaked out by it. :) Anyway I think the show is really getting better with each passing episode, I really had a good time during Episode 4, especially the scenes...
