Definitely. I got into WC when I was 12, and my dad was in the Air Force. So he tried to encourage me to go into the Academy. For a while, I was very tempted. Then in 8th grade, my vision got completely fucked up, so there went my dreams to be a pilot. I still wanted to be an Air Force officer...

Hey, nevermind... I found the Win95 patch in the Files section, so I got the game working A-OK. Now I'm off to play WC4 for the first time... (not counting the mutilated PSX version)

I believe I've read something to this effect. Eisen would certainly make more sense than Wilford. Yeah, it's pretty sudden. But it develops over the course of the game, even before he knows Angel's dead. Also, I think more time passes than is obvious when you play the game. But Blair's a...

No... Fleet Action, which takes place 13 years later.

Exactly. Most of the people who served on the Claw were on the Claw when it went down, only the pilots survived. Yeah. Yeah, that's a little iffy. Iceman, of course, is killed by the Cats in B'shriss, or however the heck you spell that (as told by Hawk in Prophecy). Do we know exactly when...

Hmmm, so basically my thought of Tolwyn being a stubborn bastard fits. Okay, that makes sense. I think that's basically the same thing for either one, but the most likely explanation. The WC3 Skipper is a new version of an old weapon. Hence Eisen's remark, "The Kilrathi are testing a new...

Yeah, I get a fuzzy, flickering box in the corner of the screen and nothing else.

I'm bored, and this seemed like a good idea, so... I was watching the Academy cartoon tonight, and it got my geek-brain working. There's a lot of talk about how the movie and the cartoon contradict WC1. But as some of the more informed (LOAF and the like) have pointed out, this is not...

Maybe the movie was never intended to be part of the continuity, I personally don't know what Chris Roberts and co.'s intentions were. However, the movie adds tons of richness to the WC universe, and I can't stomach just throwing it out because it has a few contradictions. The contradictions can...

Wing Commander IV Okay, folks, here's my deal: I've mounted the c: drive to the appropriate area (c:\wingcommander\wc4, this being the folder I copied the game files to), and then typed INSTALL to install the sucker. I get this: ORIGIN SYSTEMS DPMI LOADER. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. PRODUCED BY...

Ugh, don't even mention Voyager while trying to argue a point. Voyager was such a chore to watch after a while. And I really don't believe that a war would stall ship design, either (just playing devil's advocate, really), but the fact that a design, however modified, would still exist 30...

What about loom? You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilm’s™ Brian Moriarty™? Why it’s an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic; stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes; sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation...

[Berman] doesn't know the first thing about military tactics... That's because he's a television producer. Okay, that's enough said about Star Trek. My input on the "thirty-year old carrier design." What is so hard to accept about a 30 year old carrier design? 30 years isn't that long...

Hmmm... yes, I'm well aware... My attempt at humor obviously fell flat.

The dude that played Rollins (name escapes me) was on an episode of Charmed where he had long hair and a goatee. I also saw a recent commerical with Spyder. It blew my mind. And as for Dekker in ST6, you don't even have to watch closely. He has quite a few lines, IIRC. And the guy that plays...

6 years later, you'd think I'd be sick of these kind of threads... Anyway... Tcheky Karyo's inability to produce a Scottish accent doesn't make the character of Paladin any less Scottish. An actor shouldn't be confused with the character, otherwise we'd all be asking "Why does Tolwyn look...

1997, I was 12 years old, went to the video store to rent Mortal Kombat 3, they didn't have it. Saw Wing Commander 4 with Luke Skywalker, so I rented it. The rest is history, as they say.

Yeah, I did that... Meh, I'll try again. I was flustered last night after having to fly some damn escort mission in Dakota over and over again until the Kilrathi didn't blow it up. And yes, Loom, the game... Monkey Island. Play it. Classic. Yeah.

Okay, I know most of you frown on the use of the "invulnerable" option, but my philosophy is... if they offer it, why not use it? But after everything I go through in WC1 (too many escort missions!), I don't think it's fair that I should be called "CHEATER." I know there's a way to add "-k -b"...

Yeah, I expected as much.
