~~~, I still think that Blair -was- guilty of negligence since he failed to report the Strakha sighting to Concordia and went chasing them on his own... of course Tolwyn doesn't know about -that- heh. Anyway, I'm not sure if Tolwyn likes Blair or not. He certainly seems fond of him in WC2's...

*smacks Tyrant for not catching the WC1 reference* You need to go back and replay.

~~~, the movies in WC3 look a little funny to the modern eye at first but you get used to them quickly. Back when the movie Sin City came out and everyone was raving about how it was the first movie to be completely "CGI backgrounds with live action actors" I would just say "Pfft, WC3 did that...

We should all get together and make a life size Rapier/Dralthi rocket.

In WC1 and WC2 about 60% of the damage I incurred was due to collisions with Kat fighters. I too was just horrible about matching speed. I get killed a lot by kamikaze Kilrathi in those games too... other than that though I'm pretty good at stuff like Standoff, I don't go crazy and...

Doesn't WC3 need a high end computer to run properly via DosBox?

Four lasers and two neutrons? REALLY?! I've played Wing Commander many times and I could have -sworn- it was decked out with six lasers... or maybe Paladin said "six guns" and not necessarily "six lasers" during the dialogue and my memory is being fuzzy...

Oh -I- don't actually think it's a stupid nickname, don't misunderstand me. I think "Heart of the Tiger" is cool. I just needed something to explain the look Hobbes' gets on his face when Thrakhath first says that phrase and "man that's a stupid nickname" does it for me.

He DID blow himself up didn't he? Well then who the hell was it that died a second before I could destroy the Hellcat that killed him? Oh man this is going to be bothering me now.

The Jalthi (you mixed up Jalthi and Jalkhei... man I'm a nerd) from the SNES version was indeed green but I'm pretty sure I distinctly remember it being fully outloaded with the six lasers its infamous for.

For me it was dropping the bomb on Kilrah. I manually flew the Excalibur cloaked from waypoint to waypoint (to avoid fighting the Kats) and had a lot of time to sit there and think. And I got to thinking about all the pilots/characters that I'd come to know over the course of the series who had...

I hate Epees with a passion. Not only are they a bitch to fly but they're a bitch to fight against. The AI pilots seem to be a lot better with them than I am.

Actually the moment Thrakhath says the words "Heart of the Tiger" during his message it's quite clear that the phrase has a... peculiar effect on Hobbes. Not that it matters to me because as far as I'm concerned the personality overlay never happened. In my head Hobbes' peculiar mannerism...

You know, you guys can argue about this alls you want but I have a different solution. Since the holovid was cut out of the original version of the game, I don't consider that explanation to be canon. Now I know, yadda yadda, "it's canon whether you like it or not" blah blah... in -my- head it's...

Damn, I've got to get my gaming computer fixed and stat! You guys do such an amazing job with Standoff, my hat goes off to you. When episode 2 was released it single handedly reinvigorated my interest in Wing Commander.

I first played WC1 on the SNES when I was nine years old (late 1995/early 1996) and it was a religious experience. I don't think I'll ever forget it, had such an immense influence on my youth and all. I ended up finally getting to play WC3 and WC4 in 1997 on the Playstation. Wasn't able to...

Well this is great news, hopefully Wing Commander III is next eh?

I can't run it at all via DOS, it bogs my computer to a crawl. Through windows with the Win95 patch however it runs beautifully.

Oh it's quite winnable, it's just really hard.

Announcing my entry into the contest. Let's see what I can cook up in 8 days from scratch...
