    New Poll Destroys Them All (February 26, 2006)

    All sarcasm aside, the guys here have a point. While it's true that different artists will inherently have varying styles, and the styles varied quite broadly between 2 and 3, it doesn't negate the fact that such designs could have existed at the same time. Modern naval craft have a very long...

    Space Sim First Look: Chronicles of Tarra: Spectres of the Stars (February 27, 2006)

    I agree that a space sim in this day and age should be easily used without a joystick, but removing the option leads to a bit of lost immersion, and forces my MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro2 to collect yet more dust... figures I'd pay 200 bucks for a stick right before thier use died off...

    Star lancer?

    True, Quatro, but the posts against my own seemed to all be pointing out that I'd gotten my facts wrong on some cases, not that they could (or could not) be percieved as anything but good (or evil), which was what I suppose I was getting at. It doesn't seem very coherent, now that I look at...

    Star lancer?

    Ok, I think I've sufficiently villified myself... I'm bowing out of this conversation. (Mental note, next time, don't consider the extra research required for such conversations- and I use that term loosely- as "a waste"... and stop posting drunk.) @Delance- Thanks for clearing that one up...

    Impressive, Aren't They? (February 12, 2006)

    Unless you count the Super-Ferret. (effectively the same craft)

    Star lancer?

    You're right about the holocaust thing, I forgot about reading that months ago... Anyway. The point I am trying to make is that people can see things as evil, which in other countries (or cultures) are seen as good. Case in point, the Crusades. Yes, I oversimplified, but I figured you'd get the...

    Re: "Home-Made" LCD Monitors...?

    Might be worth it if you were planning a side-panel for your case, but otherwise, you'd be better off just ebaying them.

    Progress Update

    Personally, I'd rather wait for a great game than not wait for a bad one... (Case in point, C&C: Generals. Forced out in one year's time, and it was one of the buggiest games out there, when it went gold... still has some bugs that aren't fixed...) The fact that Howard Day and the guys have...

    Star lancer?

    "Sorry, thats liberal forgive-us-for-being-white-and-more-advanced bullshit." And that's some Rush Limbaugh grade-A bullshit. Halman, first off... I don't consider myself a Liberal in any way, shape, or form. If anything, I'm a Libetarian. I take the constitution at it's word, not at the BS...

    Star lancer?

    On the subject of "No good guys"... Good vs. Evil is bullshit. Most people who do something you would consider "Evil" wouldn't consider it such. For instance... I am a US citizen. I eat pork chops and look at porn. I like muscle cars and grain alcohol. In the Arab world, I am one evil...

    Is Blair's arrival to the Tiger's Claw in the movie really his first time?

    In WC2... or rather, BEFORE WC2... Blair was demoted. I don't clearly recall from what rank he was busted down, but I'm fairly sure he was higher than a captain.

    Progress Update

    I, myself, say go for it. Every little nuance, be it nearly indiscernable, is what seperates a good game - from a great game. I like to play a game and be suprised by subtleties. I know, that's spelled incorrectly. I'm tired. Don't get me wrong, the gameplay should be fun, and said subtleties...

    this game, WC Saga, and the truth

    I must disagree on some points... the Freespace engine (or, rather, it's recent fan-made iterations) is not so technically awful as to prevent the production of a good mod, or one that looks dated. There are, I admit, some things that do need refining (specular lighting, etc.), but it is not a...

    Crazy Things You Did While Playing WC

    I remember buying the Dxr2 setup... Man, I paid 300 bucks for a video game. On the other hand, I did it again years later for my KS copy(closer to 200)... Damn first-gen dvd-rom burnt out on me in a couple year's time, wound up buying a dxr3 kit off ebay a few years back (this was before the...

    We Didn't Make Wing Commander FL (January 16, 2006)

    It is compatable with the original campaign.... but it does make the game extremely difficult.

    Multiplayer?

    Since Pioneer is a new project entirely... is there any chance of a Freelancer-style multiplayer? (not massively multiplayer, but something in the vicinity of 20-50 players at once, on a dedicated, persistant server... this would be awesome.)

    First Pioneer Demo Delayed

    There's no way to win an argument with Derek Smart, for one reason: Derek Smart doesn't have to make sense, in order to feel he's won. Same with his software, actually... :D note: That doesn't mean he actually wins. It just means he THINKS he wins.
