That's just the millenium Falcon. Lando and the weird lip guy had one too many at the party on Endor and decided to try to beat Han's time on the Kessel run and, for the particularly nerdy of us, the rest is history.

There's a certain balance you need to strike in Sci Fi shows, particularly on TV, or the show doesn't work. Stargate is a perfect example. In SG-1 they beat back the Go'Auld and new nemesis was needed so they came up with the Replicators. The problem was that the Replicators basically...

So two processors and thre motherboards later we finally got the computer working last night. We finally came to the decision that Asus's Republic Of Gamers motherboards have horrible manuals.

That's good to know. I'll have to read through that site and educate myself on this stuff. My brother knows a lot about building machines, he does IT for a computer training center, but he knows nothing about SLi or Crossfire.

The size issue isn't a hundred percent solved yet, because the CPU thing is kinda holding things up, but everything else looks promising. just as an aside, does anyone know if it's possible to SLI together to different grade nvidia cards, like an 580 and an 8800. Because the main immediate...

I knew from the first reply I wasn't going to be able to pull SLI but when we actually plugged in my ASUS 580GTX we found that it is so long intruders on the hard drive bay by about a half an inch. So there is only one slot I can fit it in so that the half inch extra actually sits above and...

I would be using two nVidia cards, if they would fit:(, but my motherboard is apparently a Crossfire board. My CPU seems to have arrived DOA and I've got to send it back before we can get the rig running. :mad: But everytime I've had my brother build me a rig I've run into problems early and...

All the parts came yesterday from newegg and my brother is gonna help me set it up. Now I can catch up on all the games I've been missing out on like WC2, Doom 2, and the Secret Of Monkey Island. ;) My only concern is that I've got a Crosshair IV motherboard that advertises ATi Crossfire...

What I find really ironic is that Strike Commander is listed as being hardware demanding but it had problems with machines that had more than 16 Mb of RAM. At least in it's initial release.

Yeah, I'm waiting for them to quit screwin around invent the holodeck technology so I don't need those nerdy glasses! :D

I got Tron Legacy on Blu-ray yesterday and watched the Flynn Lives short this morning. When it's over a Space Paranoids high score screen comes up and you can put in some initials and it unlocks other content. I put MCP (for obvious reasons) and nothing happened but then I put in SAM and it...

Maybe, but the Star Wars games were becoming the main concern for Lucasarts and an X-Wing sim was a natural progression of that. I don't know, maybe it wouldn't have come around until the later nineties but I think it would have happened.

I would probably have more money when I was younger. When WCIV was about to come out I took out a $5,000.00 loan to buy a new computer pretty much just for that, and the family computer wouldn't be able to run it.:) It would have been a bigger shift than that, though. When I got into WC I...

The Reckoning :D I'm actually kind of split between Priv 1 & 2. I like them both because of the open gameplay, which I haven't been able to get back to until Freelancer. Privateer 1 edges out 2 because the ship designs have clear ties to the rest of the WC universe, whereas P2 always came off...

You know I started off with Secret Missions on the SNES then I leap frogged over WC2 and went into 3, in fact I think i traded in my WCSM kart for credit toward buying the PC version of WC3. It wasn't until Kilrathi Saga that I actually played all the way through the first three games.

I ran into something similar when the movie came out. My local newspaper reviewer wrote a review that didn't mention many scenes or sequences that weren't already in the trailers, which is no big deal really. But what really made me think he had only watched the trailers, before passing...

There's one called Galactican that is dead perfect for the classic WC font. With the gradient and lighting effects, and a little work, in Paint Shop Pro I can almost perfectly recreate the logo from the original boxart. I haven't found anything close to the lettering for WCP, in particular I'd...

That's kind of cool. A lot of those fonts I've seen one other sites so I don't think their too concerned about ruffling feathers. I'd like to see someone update some of the fonts. In particular the Heretic and Sinestar fonts are blocky and pixelated because that's how they appeared on the...

Those are Freakin sweet. I particularly like the last shot. It's style is sort of in between Prophecy and the Movie.

I looked through the PSX a little bit and there will be enough there for Terran soundbank, but a Kilrathi one isn't looking quite so possible. I just wrote down a list of the different sounds needed for a full sound bank and there's 52. I haven't gone through all of the characters' comms and...
