Well, yeah, but with how long he's been active a full listing would take a while, and unnecessary when IMDb covers it well enough. I really do need to get out of the habit of showing up only when people die. :p

Veteran actor David Warner, who's been in a bunch of stuff including Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country (Chancellor Gorkon), Tron (Ed Dillinger and Sark), a bunch of voices for games and cartoons, and more, passed away at 80 years old from "cancer-related illness"...

Saw this posted on FB, and of course I had to share it. A size comparison of various spacecraft in fiction, on screen, in books, and in video games. Around the 2:10 mark and 4:00 mark there are craft that should be familiar to those following Star Citizen. It did not, however, include any WC...

Without commenting specifically on post-buyout Star Wars, remakes/reworks don't magically make the originals disappear. :P

While flipping through Youtube for other stuff, I came across a recording YT ranter Razorfist did of playing through the first WC game a few days ago. He is more than a little free with foul language, so NSFW, but here is the 4h31m video. (I used a timestamp in the link to get past the "please...

Earlier today, Jerry Pournelle died. By other reports, he had laid down for a nap, and passed away. I was minorly annoyed at myself for missing him at Dragoncon this year, but now I'm really kicking myself. :( Requiescat in pace, Jerry.

And in further news, the WC4 novelization is on the e-book publishing schedule for January 3rd of next year. (And yes, I dropped them a line about the "Captain" in the description.)

Further following up on the WC e-book front: This weekend at Dragoncon after the Baen Traveling Road Show panel (talk about Baen's recent and upcoming releases, including artwork for the covers with and without the text of the final product), I talked with Toni Weisskopf (Editor in Chief at...

The bundles in general tend to be a good deal, especially if you don't already own the works, with a mix of new and older books in a 6-book bundle. Be aware that they're time-limited, however, IIRC based on physical release scheduling of the included books. Once you buy it you can access the...

It should be noted that the partial versions, both the fractional releases prior to the listed date and the free sample chapters after it's fully available for purchase, are usually of a version from before the final edit and may contain assorted typographical and grammatical errors. The version...

IIRC, Pliers also mentions about Blair having to make due with an auto-gunner for the rear turret of his fighter, due to crew shortages.

Done. No response yet to the bugging about the others (which included information above, re FA), of course, as she's a busy person, what with being the Editor in Chief (or whatever her formal title, I forget offhand) and all.

(Yeah, necromancy, but *points to "Admin" badge* it's a privilege of rank. ;) ) Not entirely sad now. Freedom Flight will be available in e-book format from Baen in July. (I am bugging Toni about the others, for the record. :p )

There is no formal NATO designation specific to corvettes, and hasn't been in a while. You'll just have to suck it up. :P

I was the creator of the Halsey class corvette for the UBW. While I don't have the somewhat crude 3-view image I did up of the ship for inclusion on the Aces ship database, I do have the DOC file (standard format, Wordpad will open it though with some garbage at the top that doesn't affect...

Or: A battleship by any other name would kill just as much Saw this link on Facebook, regarding ship type classifications, both historical and as applied to SF universes (Mass Effect and Halo getting particular attention, based primarily on the author's personal knowledge I think). It mentions...

Ok, now that it's official I can come out and say it's Amazon that's Baen's new partner for ebooks. The message I got in my inbox, earlier this evening:

Some further information (not including the third party's name, so I'll just use "3PP" to identify it for now): The old monthly bundles will be removed. Baen will still be offering monthly electronic bundles, but when the books it contains hit paper publishing, the e-bundles get removed. The...

Within the next week or so, at a guesstimate, Baen will be going with a third-party publisher (as yet unnamed) for their e-book library. To meet the policies of this publisher, there will be changes to what's available online, in particular in regards to the Free Library and the monthly bundles...

Which part? Fek's liking the WCM novelization better, or stopping the reading of PS? :P On-topic, my copy came in Saturday's mail, from Deep Discount DVD. I haven't yet found the free time to pop it in and watch (or even break the plastic wrap seal).
