    9/11/01 Remember where you were...

    I'm in the UK and I was at work when we first heard the news. I was sat at my desk, chatting to my colleague. It was just after lunchtimes. Our system administrator came back in from his lunch break and said, as he walked past our desks, "did you hear? some plane has just flown into the World...

    Old or New School?

    Totally agree with you guys on this one. I love WC1, 2 and the Secret Missions stuff. Especially the music for the load/save screen in Wing Commander 1. Wish I could bottle that and pipe it through my ears when I have those insomniac moments. :)

    Pop or Soda?

    In England, we use 'pop' too. We also sometimes refer to them as 'cans' "Hey, you want a can?" "Yo, you got any pop?" Soda to us is that tasteless fizzy water. A bit like tonic water I suppose. Cheers.

    Furball poll thingy

    Whoa, you got that right - I forgot how bad WC4 Kilrathi looked! Always for WC2, I just love the cartoony-ness of it.

    Anyone here like Rally Racing?

    I think Sebastian Loeb is a very good driver. Not sure about Marcus Gronholm - don't like him for some reason, not quite sure what though. And yes, Rallying is definitely more of a European thing. In fact, I might hazard a guess to say that its becoming more popular than Formula One (which...

    Fav WC game

    Mine will have to be WC1 because its the first game I played and I loved it. Maniac really did go off on one everytime you partnered him! I was always scared of what Colonel Halcyon would do to me, and I fell in love with Angel. Good ol' Bluehair eh?

    Wing Commander books

    Thanks to all for the suggestions. DyNaMix is right though. Over here in the UK, you can't get the books for love nor money. Its like gold dust over here! Amazon.co.uk has told me it cancelled one of my items because its out-of-stock. Ottakers (a UK chain of bookstores) says that it...
