That was enjoyable, thanks for putting it together rvcontre. I enjoyed the 'Montey Python' foot stomping out Mario. I was glad to see I wasn't the only one that had trouble designing a succesful airplane on the Microsoft Flight Simulator! That brought back some memories.

Happy Birthday!! May all your dreams come true and wishes granted. May the sun be at your back and the wind blow coolly on your face.. may you always be walking or bike riding downhill.. or whatever that saying is!! I wish I could post a song and have it play that "You're the Best.. around"...

Hah hah hah, when my wife was pregnant she couldn't get enough mint chocolate chip; are you a pregnant woman, Frosty? Just joshing you, friend, that is a perfectly reasonable favorite flavor of ice cream. And it's green, which is kind of neat on its own!

This is a TOUGH question. Having played WC1, SM1, WC3, WC4, WCP, and WCSO.. I think I'd say Wing Commander Standoff is my favorite! I guess we're talking about 'official' games, so I'd say it's between WC3 and WC4. I think I liked WC3 the best since it was the dramatic conclusion of the...

Interesting, so you would say that the very process of putting ice cream - any ice cream - between two cookies is inherently superior to one particular taste? You have given me a lot to think about.

Hello! I think that all people enjoy ice cream. What is your favorite ice cream?

Wow, that's a very talented guy. I assumed it was a very talented actor that one of the Standoff guys knew.. maybe a well known local theatre actor. Didn't imagine such a fine performance from a guy who also did some of the computer coding.

I don't know if I could handle that! That would be phenomenal. That's awesome! I wish the Prophecy/Secret Ops people had programmed tougher opponents though. I'm not bragging about this since I'm sure other pilots have noticed this, but there really isn't an ace in any of the Wing Commander...

I remember getting nailed by one right as I left the carrier (I think it was in Ep. 4s losing path). Must be the one you guys are talking about. I learned a valuable lesson from that mission: hit afterburners ASAP in a scramble mission and you can adjust your guns, top cruising speed...

The sentence in question was "I think Standoff ranks right up there in polished quality, canonical coherence, and entertainment value with any of the WC games." To say that Wing Commander Standoff has canonical coherence seems appropriate given this dictionary definition. Particularly, it...

Eww.. I'm just starting on disc 3, but I don't think I want to see that. The funny thing about Wing Commander is that sometimes it keeps itself light simple and fun, and other times it's very deep and tragic. I like these aspects of it. I would've liked it though if Blair's life was more of...

I can't wait for Ep. 5! I thought I'd start this thread as an outlet for people to submit their hopes and fantasies about what it might be like. Some people are saying they'd like it to be really tough. Some people are saying the game's already tough enough. I think both groups could be...

You could be onto something. It's interesting to note that the Standoff Scoreboards show both the Crossbow and Broadswords as scoring higher than the Sabre... and that's taking on fighters alone! I have a different opinion though that isn't currently well evidenced. I absolutely love...

Some people have talked about whether Standoff should be included in a replay. I think it should be involved. One idea I had for this was for Standoff to be an "extra" game for people to play through as others are playing games they don't have. For instance, people who don't have WC1 can play...

I was just thinking about this: they could've put in the script for Blair's relationships to work out, but he has to leave them for war... Rachael/Flint could've been assigned to a different carrier or not been drafted. Blair doesn't really have any love interests in WC4 or Prophecy, so he...

Dundradal is organizing a community replay through the games where we all play a certain amount of missions the same weeks starting with WC1. You might want to put your replay on pause until we catch up or maybe start over again once we begin. I think he's set a date for later this month, but I...

Basically you have to target a specific subsystem and say "attack my target". Once you hear one of your wingmen acknowledge, they target the same subsystem you're targeting. Then you switch to another subsystem or to enemy fighters (wingmen stay on the subsystem they were told to hit AFTER you...

1) I think this and the protect the minelayer missions were the only ones I played where I had to take the difficulty level down from nightmare to get a winning ending. I survived the mission on nightmare, but failed to blow up the carrier. I'm better now that I'm more use to the game engine...
