Holy Moley! That's some really great stuff. *Warning: you may make stuff as kick-ass as the dudes on nightmarearmor.com if you have a resin-casting kit and don't play WC enough*

Coolbeans. I've got a gig of ram too, and I was hoping that would help me out a little. I just won a 9600 Pro on eBay just a few minutes after I posted, so I'm hoping that'll give me a good deal more kick. :) I've seen screenshots, and it looks freakin' awesome at "just" 800x600, so I'm not...

I've got an ancient "Whole Earth Software guide" from 1984 in my bookcase, and lo and behold, it's got this old Commodore 64 flight-sim called Wing Commander in it... Ah, the days of the IBM PC, Apple II...mere years before I was born... :p My first PC was a Packard Bell 486 DX2--you know...

So _that's_ where the whole "super-duper GLOW missiles" joke came from... Anyone know what happened to Joshua? Is he still posting, or did he go the way of the doodoo (er, Dodo) along with assman and that freaky g4ng5t4-r4p d00d? :rolleyes:

Hey, does this count as a 'dead' thread? :) If there are any Halo fans out there who haven't heard about the "ilovebees.com" conspiracy theory, you should definitely check it out. The whole totally-immersive, faux-reality thing is far from a new concept (heck, Andy Kaufman even took a shot...

What kind of system have you got, Chris? I've read review after review that says that Doom 3's eminently playable even on the min-spec system requirements, which gives me hope for my Athlon 2000+ and Radeon 9000 Pro, but I'd just like an 'inside' opinion. :p

It's a fairly common practice in Real Life (tm) for big military ships to be named only just after they've been completed, or for their planned name to be changed while still under construction--the only example that I can of is two of Germany's battlecruisers having their names changed during...

No offense meant to LOAF of course--I meant it in good humor (hence the smiley after it!)

Just so you know, Deadeye, the Wing Commander series was designed to play out two more games incorporating the NE-PHIL-IM (don't mind LOAF, he's just being his usual superman-smartass self ;) , named something similar to the Matrix trilogy--I believe one of them was to be called "Revelations."...

I'm with Petey here (and LOAF a little farther back)--it seems very often that fans of a science-fiction or fantasy series make it their singular purpose to make sure that everything ties in with everything else, disregarding real-world circumstances like, A) It's a fictional universe; and B)...

Despite every one else's seemingly obligatory whining about yet *another* WCM-debate thread, I for one am glad to see one played out civilly and with good logical arguments, not just random "W1NG M0V13 SUCK7AZ!!!!" posts.

I think that the general degradation in PC game quality has to do with the huge corporate boom in the field in the mid-90s. With so many huge companies requiring certain amounts of revenue, their (i.e, "the company's," the CEO's) focus turns from making awesome, enjoyable games to making games...

It's a distinct possibility that it would be anatomically impossible...

Holy freaking crap! :eek: That's some great stuff, Howie. What kind of machine have you got 3DSMax5 running on? I've been interested in getting into 3D rendering for a little while, but I'm afraid that I'd have to bone up my main computer a little more than my wallet could take.

I remember having totally the same experience; I was about six years old, and Soundblasters, Gravis joysticks, and CD-Rom drives were the hot new stuff; the asteroids at Nav 2 always did me in! :D And as for getting old, Climber, I just graduated from high school last month, and sometimes I...

Yeah, I'm with you, I always sort of liked the earlier pre-FMV WCs myself. I don't know if it was the bitmapped graphics (you know, the kind that make it feel like a *computer* game instead of an almost-movie) or the simpler flight mechanics, but after the geez-golly-wiz feel of polygons and...

Right, Fraix, your question. Wedge, check the video portion on the CIC main site--under WC3, there are a number of video clips that were eliminated from the PC version but included in the 3D0 version (or just specifically created for the 3D0 one); included is a Hobbes "locker message."...

Irullan, Issac, and Hom (spelling may be slightly off) Assuming that's correct, what does Hobbes reveal to be his true identity in a cutscene which was edited from the original WC3?

I believe that on this posting board it could safely be considered "anti-Kilrathi sentiment." (take that, Lieberman!)

Cool texturing, and great idea! I just picked up the IL-2 Forgotten Battles Gold pack the other day, and I'm severely hooked already. I don't know jack about 3d modeling or texturing, so I couldn't help you out there, but if you could round up a few people to fly, I'd be more than willing to...
