    Not As Easy As It Used to Be (June 8, 2008)

    Not to mention with the whole alien thing in the most recent Indy movie, Indiana Jones inches closer to Wing Commander...

    Making the Game - Part 2 (May 7, 2008)

    For some reason I like the idea that the enemy faced would actually be just a race so scared that their just running down the quickest path (even if it happens to be recklessly through Confed space). Its just nice being having an opponent that isn't evil, but just worried about it's survival...

    Making the Game - Part 1 (May 6, 2008)

    Great find, and a great read. Although right now it's little more than fan-fiction, it dose give some insights on the thought process behind Prophecy. And with all the similarities to the finished Prophecy I can only imagine how much more they're going to use throughout the future games. The...

    Let's Make This Brief... (April 22, 2008)

    Hmmm....tough choice. For me it really came down between WC I and WC II. I chose WC II, because it seemed to have more detail and color to it (Plus its my favorite game in the series). With WC III and IV there were just too few people in the room, and they didn't feel as right (although I...

    Family Guy - Innocent or Guilty

    I'm of the opinion that Family Guy was funny and entertaining before it was canceled. After it came back it was only half the show it was before. It used to have somewhat clever "main-plots" with random and somewhat creative non sequiturs. Now, more often then not, its "main-plots" are weak...

    They killed Blair's father...

    Damn stupid typo making fingers! I meant Corpse (dead body) Although, I would find that a rather interesting Sci-Fi twist. I'm neither an idiot nor trying to piss people off. I'm not saying that WC as a whole is a rip-off of SW. Just that Blair and Skywalker have an unusually large (and...

    They killed Blair's father...

    Unless EA pulls something like: The Corpse of Blair's father was found by the Nephilim, and using advanced technology, made him into a cyborg that now serves as one of the Aligned People's highest (and most feared) officers. And don't tell me they won't at least be tempted to do that.

    They killed Blair's father...

    Oh dear sweet Jesus... ANOTHER Star Wars/Luke Skywalker reference! I like Star Wars as much as the next supernerd, but this shit has got to stop somewhere. If WC VI should ever be made Blair better not come back with an energy sword and superpowers....

    What does the acronym CSS stand for?

    Maybe, Cascading Style Sheets ? So the kats know that the future-past shall bring their destruction. Or just confuse them so much they have too much of a collective headache to fight the war. (Confed Psy-Ops-your future tax dollars (credits?) at work; efficient as ever).

    Privateer, unlikely solution!

    Yeah, that is weird. There are only two explanations that I can come up with: 1) Dumbfires are normally sold with a small amount of explosives, but the military mechanics do some work and take the explosives from one and stuff them in another; less missiles but a bigger explosion. I imagine...

    To Kill a Hakaga...

    I was thinking about the small particles of the capship or instillation that would get irrateated and break apart after detonation. Not to mention any fighters that were too close to the blast. Some of the particles would probably settle on your ship, which would be heavily damaged (assuming it...

    The Lonesome Death of FreeLancer 2 (December 5, 2007)

    ...Thats true, but its still more of a niche market on Consoles. Like was said earlier about joysticks, when they didn't comes standard on computers games that required joysticks started on a decline. For the PS2 the people that bought a USB keyboard for their PS2 were also ones that bought: A...

    Wing One, Take Two (December 8, 2007)

    I'm inclined to agree with this, although I would never have considered Wing Commander abandonware. By "Stop working on, and has no interest in continuing to work on." I meant that they completely stopped caring about a project. I will admit that this is a bit ridiculous for commercial products...

    Wing One, Take Two (December 8, 2007)

    Well, if you want to be picky, there is no legally recognized idea of abandonware, but people generally understand what the term means: Software that the creator has stopped working on and has no interest on continuing to work on. What most people forget is that copyright law is still in full...

    Wing One, Take Two (December 8, 2007)

    Wow, very nice. Is Mr. Govett still working on it, or has it become "abandonware?" Its been 4 years, but who knows...he might be doing it as a side project.

    The Lonesome Death of FreeLancer 2 (December 5, 2007)

    Markiting though annoyance....sounds like microsoft. I totally forgot that CC3 and HL had gone to console....I fail. Although I don't know about how successful a MMO can be on a console (at least currently). Without a keyboard it would mean dumbing down most functions (hell even with a...

    The Lonesome Death of FreeLancer 2 (December 5, 2007)

    Now this is something I could never understand about Freelancer. Why did the have to not include a joystick option at all. I understand them wanting to push the "no need for a joystick" aspect, but would it really have been so bad to include a joystick option? Maybe they wouldn't have mentioned...

    To Kill a Hakaga...

    I feel the need to say something about the "Mace." The games treat it less like an actual nuclear weapon and more like a really powerful conventional weapon (thermobaric [but without the need for an atmosphere] maybe?) There is no way a nuclear weapon would act like the mace would. A nuclear...
