That's really neat to see. The newer Kilrathi Corvette mixed in with the others makes it look like the next generation technology is beginning to replace the old. That shot makes me think of how the US military still used a WWII era battleship in the first Gulf War along with newer naval ships...

The creepiest thing to ever happen to me was a near death experience.

Flying on nightmare will make you a better pilot. You'll probably see your rankings go up on the Standoff scoreboards. It may be tough at first, but it's possible to beat it and you'll gradually figure out ways and tricks to pass missions. I don't think it's THAT much tougher either, the name...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP3cQDitQEU This video reminded me of the losing ending to WCIV. I think the guy picked the wrong questions that Bill Clinton was prepared to answer in a favorable light. He chose two wrong questions and lost the game. Kind of like choosing "Like secret...

I didn't notice if I had "reverse rudder" checked or not. When I get time, I plan to try it with Secret Ops and see if the problem is that the joystick is no longer working.

Hey, I'm one of those unfortunate people with an intel graphics card and a laptop. I'm glad you guys went all out on the graphics though, since that's true to the Wing Commander traditon of pushing the limits of technology. I previously posted about the game freezing after exiting and having...

Sorry to hear that Lt. Overload. That's terrible, but hopefully you know it's not your fault. With around 45 divorces for every 100 marriages each year in the US, you can be sure you're not alone. Even though you're not feeling well, if you ever once in your life felt joyful, that means you...

Wow, that's awesome. My compliments to the founders and maintainers of this site and to all who've contributed to this fun universe. An extra special thanks to you Chris Roberts for creating those excellent games and interactive movies.

I'll second that good job on the youtube video Fwiffo.

Between WC3, 4, and Prophecy, I think WC3 was the best. I think Flash and Maniac did a great job; which isn't surprising considering they're both talented movie actors. Some of the Prophecy voiceovers sounded fake and very annoying; especially the guys that you could tell were using gruff...

Do I need to worry about gunking up my computer by messing around with this type of programming? I have very limited knowledge of programming just from an intro to Java class, and I've never programmed in Pascal's version (is this C++?). I heard some programming languages create 'garbage' in...

I definitely noticed that! I learned to back off once there was only an enemy or two and a full flight of friendlies. I didn't have much of a problem when the sides were evenly matched. Friendlies seem to spread out fairly evenly on the different enemy targets. It's possible though that...

Taking a scientific approach, Seether's effective age is 29-30 years old in 2673. This would be determined if you took some hair samples from him and studied them or some other method. How do I know this? The actor, Robert Rusler, was born in September 1965. He was 29+30 yrs. old in 1995...

As much as I wish they were, I can give a confident "no" to that question.

Looking at the ships database, the Jrathek's are extremely fast and maneuverable. Some of the versions look like it's built like a tank too (though the middle representation's shields aren't very thick). Why haven't I heard pilots complaining about how tough these are to shoot down? Is it...

The wives that are really impressive are the ones that let their husbands spend hours making mods or going to Wing Commander conventions.

She's a rare one, so I guess not everyone should hold out for a girl like that. I use to keep my enjoyment of Wing Commander a secret from girlfriends, but I knew she was someone I could share anything with.. maybe when you meet the right one, you can be yourself... or maybe I just got lucky :).

I'm pretty sure he's invincible, unless there's a mission other than the Longbow one where he can take damage. I remember the Longbow mission seemed impossible to beat on nightmare, so I started retreating from the action and just left Seether in there to handle everything. He ended up...

I talked about Wing Commander with my wife on the first date, and we're now married, so it must not be a deal breaker. We also had some discussions on Wing Commander IV's plotline. Don't believe everything you read on the internet!!

When Seether's in a Longbow, he's invincible. In the Dragon, on the other hand, I thought he was a pretty easy kill. Assuming that you could match the two AI's in this thread's named ships, Seether would still win because I've noticed the AI isn't well programmed to deal with cloaking enemies...
