    Frank Reminisces About Playtesting At Origin (May 14, 2009)

    Ha, wow, so I came in upside-down for a reason!

    James S. Kirk?

    Can't believe no one mentioned James R. Kirk.

    Making the Game: Powerups (May 6, 2009)

    That's interesting. Their example of having a piranha upgrade from lasers to gatling guns makes me curious about how the energy pool and regeneration rates would be dealt with. If you've messed around with wcpedit to the extent that I have, you'll know just how fickle the firepower-energy...

    Space Sim First Look: Galaxy on Fire (April 25, 2009)

    It's a shame we can't have games like this on computers and, you know, actual video game systems anymore.

    Website update, April 24th

    As long as it eventually comes out, I'm happy. Take all the time you need. Also, good luck Michael!

    Take the New Poll for a Spin (April 18, 2009)

    I'm going with Privateer 2. I've never seen anything quite like it.

    Ultima Online Rocking 11th Year, Looks Towards 12th (April 17, 2009)

    It's so weird to think about how long it's been kicking. I never played it, but I remember back in 1998, going into the computer lab and seeing my math teacher playing UO on one of the computers. Eleven years, that's wild.

    WCPedia: Check out this week's work

    I was curious, is there a reason why the asteroids entry was deleted? Would it be ok if I created a new one or undeleted the old one and brought it up to a higher standard?

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    It was definitely Academy. After putting together a few fun scenarios I ran out of ideas. It was frustrating that they left out the ships I really needed practice fighting against.

    The Wing Commander of Uprising

    Wow, now that's something that I certainly never expected to see.

    Best Weapon Combo

    Definitely the raptor, followed by the arrow and panther. I also really liked lasers and mass drivers for some reason.

    Making the Game: Mission E5 (March 20, 2009)

    Wow, I would have loved to play this mission. Who says we don't like the occasional unwinnable gauntlet?

    Happy Birthday, Wing Commander (March 12, 2009)

    Wow, ten years and it feels like just yesterday. It's all so vivid, from the The Phantom Menace trailer to sitting in our seats listening to the bombastic credits music at the end. Accidentally putting a $20 in the change machine in the arcade and winning $20 worth of quarters. What a night...

    Kilrathi Corvette Appears in WC Saga (March 11, 2009)

    That's gorgeous!

    Worst Voice Acting

    Wing Commander 3? Really? I thought that the Kilrathi in Wing Commander 3 were pretty universally hailed as the best iteration of the Kilrathi. Those taunts sure beat flying against the drakhai, they never shut up about how great they are. YOU CANNOT DEFEAT THE DRAKHAI!! * five seconds later...

    Does anybody take the movie seriously?

    No, tell me all about it!!

    Does anybody take the movie seriously?

    In college I had bad movie night, some friends would come over and watch terrible movies like Dracula 3000 and Laser Mission. One Saturday, for lack of DVDs, I threw Wing Commander into the player and we watched that. Aside from some wisecracks about the Kilrathi, Prinze and Lillard, everyone...

    Old Reliable... aka Thunderbolt

    Well, it was good to see Scimitars again. Especially since you don't personally have to fly them against excaliburs and lances in a book.

    Worst Voice Acting

    I'd have added Casey's "I need some help with this target!" from Secret Ops. Everything Paladin said in SWC was cringe-worthy.

    Old Reliable... aka Thunderbolt

    Yes, I love the thunderbolt, and so does Blair in the WC3 novelization.
