    Terminator Salvation - Spoilers eventually...

    I just caught the movie today and had a hell of a good time. I thought it was better than T3, but then again T3's inherent tongue in cheek approach changed it's tone more toward the self parody, but I enjoyed T3 as well, just for different reasons. T4, while not as deep or philosophical as 1...

    Strike Commander markings

    I headed over ther and grabbed a bunch of them. They'll be a great help for the base schemes. What I really am hoping for is an identifying marking, like the USAFs bars and star or the RAF's roundel. I don't know what the manual has in it, but I found a cheap copy of the Startegy Guide on...

    WC SNES

    My first run through I just used invincibility, this was on Secret Missions. Oh and my Game Genie helped a lot too.:D Even with the cheats it took a lot of practice to get the controls down just right, but when I did I was able to adapt my PC tactics. The biggest problem I kept running into is...

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    A lot of what has been cited here as "why there aren't continuity changes changes" are more or less commercial reasons for changing things up. Storywise there are repercussions for all of these action. There's no guarrantee, or likelihood, that the Pine/Kirk will follow the same path as as the...

    Wing Commander Music Videos and youtube

    You know what was really dumb is they pulled Streetlight Manifesto's official video for We Will Fall Together and it was posted by Streetlight Manifesto on their profile. Yet you can find every one of their songs on there posted by everyone else and their grandmother.

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    Okay I guess that all makes sense, but I don't want to dig to deeply because the string theory is likely to make my head explode, as string theory is wont to do.:D

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    This was exactly what I was talking about. But the question is: Is this an alternate reality, ala the dark mirror universe, or is it a fundemental change to the established timeline where Kirk knew his father, had a brother, and Spock's mother was alive to see him resurrected? If it's option A...

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    Ah, now see the movie doesn't deal with much of that and I haven't read the comic, yet. As the movie stands, on its own, the three I listed are major continuity changes. So far as I remember the movie never made mention of any alternate universe elements, but then again I've only seen it once.

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    that's just three. I think the logic of using the Red Matter to counter the Supernova was to save the Romulan solar system from the expanding blast wave, by using a black hole to suck it back in before it wiped out the whole system, it wasn't a galaxy threatening event. Nero sort of was, in a...

    Strike Commander markings

    So does anyone know if the fighters in Strike Commander had discernible markings and if so, does anybody have a good screen capture of it? I'm thinking about doing some skins for HAWX aircraft similar to the planes in SC, so even a good source of plane shots would help to.

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    I just caught it yesterday, Tues. 12, and I have to say I liked it, despite all the lens flares and . There is the Trekkie part of my mind that rails at some of it but my rational side enjoyed it all. I do have to say that the was perhaps one of the most beautiful shots ever in a sci fi...

    Savik's Accusation

    The WOK book talks about it. The ST Encyclopedia, sort of the accepted source for canon, states that there was a line in ST2's script that would imply she was half Romulan but I guess it wasn't shot. At the bottom of it all, though, Saavik's lineage has been brought up in a number of books...

    Savik's Accusation

    I think Saavik was getting a little hot headed over their situation when she said it, she is half Romulan after all. Blaming David for the deaths of the Regula One and Grissom crews was probably more of an unjust emotional outburst than a serious accusation.

    Which wingman of all time would you take to Kilrah?

    For me: Maniac Flash and Hobbes Maniac and Flash would always take off on my anyway and they always seemed to be able to take care of themselves. Hobbes was constantly tugging at the leash, but he stuck with me, so I got used to flying solo anyway. However, I could always rely on Hobbes to...

    HAWX = Strike Commander reincarnate

    The thing I discovered with the Assistance off is that you have to stop flying like you do in the regular mode. You can turn or loop and manipulate those maneuvers with throttle or brake, which is what that's really meant for anyway. Your camera view locks onto whatever you have targeted. Once I...

    HAWX = Strike Commander reincarnate

    Okay maybe not. I picked up the PC a week or two ago, for 20$ from an Amazon vendor, figuring that if my current computer wouldn't run it I'd be able to play in a month or so when I get a new machine. But it runs great, looks good, and I've had a hell of a lot of fun so far. Now that I know how...

    Here's one for you Aerodynamists out there.

    I'd like to take a crack at building a Raptor, and have sort of done it in Real Flight 3, but the reason for WC3 craft is that I really want to fly my own Thunderbolt model. The Raptor and the Thunderbolt are my favorite WC planes and they're the ones I'm really interested in flying on a regular...

    Which Wing Commander game have you played the least?

    WC2 for me. The first time I played any WC game was when I picked up Secret Missions for the SNES. I never really got much of a chance to hit WC2 until I got the Kilrathi Saga.

    Here's one for you Aerodynamists out there.

    After almosts two years of sitting on the shelf, and me making peace with the idea of never flying it, I finally got my E-Starter out and flew it. And now I've recaught the bug for RC aviation. This has also got me to thinking about possibly trying to scratchbuild some WC designs for flight...

    Best Weapon Combo

    I loved the Raptor in WC1 and the Thunderbolt in 3. In WC2 I can't really recall a favorite, though I did better than average in the Rapier II. I also loved the Dragon in 4 for the same reason I loved the Thunderbolt big freakin guns :D. I loved charging mass drivers, cause I knew how to really...
