Agreed. Anyhoo, Tailgunner, looking forward to the finished product! :)

He was really good in SLC Punk...

TC? Anybody? Gee-zus, how many threads have we had in the past 3 days that are some iteration of this? The point is that if it's WC, then it is canon, unless it's fanfiction, in which case it may be or may not.

We aren't allowed to post copy-protection info on the 'board? Why not?

....And so begins another cyclical discussion of how the movie and games are one and the same...

One thing that I did kind of miss in the movie was the abscence of Spirit...she was one of my favorite characters.

Great stuff, maestro. Very interested to see where it goes from here! :D

There's a patch somewhere on the CIC downloads page that worked just fine for the system that I had it on (500Mhz, 128Mb RAM); is you've got a newer PCI sound card (as opposed to an older ISA) then you will unavoidably hear the sound 'flicker' as the IRQ is modulated by the card.

I'm with LOAF, I was very impressed with the CGI effects. I think that alot of critics knocked them because the effects didn't stand out and look gorgeous (the ships looked beat up, space was dark...), and exist for the sake of the effects--they were part of the movie, not "ooh, cool, look at...

I purposely sought out and bought the most recent Jane's flight sim, named "Attack Squadron," and it turned out to be far worse graphically, in gameplay, and with stability than Jane's World War II fighters from 1998! I was mega-pissed at the waste of the license, and ended up buying IL-2 for...

I always had difficulty with the way that turned out--I mean, I understand that consoles and PCs function very differently, and interfacing between them would usually turn out to be more trouble than it was worth....But I distinctly remember Microsoft hyping the Xbox as very nearly a PC-console...

Have there been any decent Freelancer mods with joystick support? (Or is that even possible?)

I loved how they made the last level like a playable cinematic, where you've gotta drive th---(brain screeches to a halt at point of revealing spoilers)...Anyways, I thought that it was at least a neat bit of design. The part where you've gotta destroy the 3 reactors was a pain in the booty...

It was definitely primarily a graphics showcase for the Xbox; initially it seemed like a rip-off of Half Life to me (ooh! Look! You're running around for 10 minutes without a weapon! So hair-raising!), but I felt the actual gameplay was very well balanced and fun. I did find it to be...

If you've got an older Win95 or Win98 computer around, go to the CIC downloads page and download MyJEMM. It enables you to play Priv in Windows mode flawlessly, and Armada with occasional (but very infrequent) crashes.

Holy fscking poo! Check out some of the other animations on that site--real MTV Liquid-Television stay-up-till-3AM stuff!

"Psych...you're an asshole. Not the lovable Maniac kind but the real pretentious, pain-in-everybody's-neck, arrogant kind." Edit: Damn, that was pretty funny, though...
