Some of the dev team was a bit salty about her involvement and felt that she mostly gave things a cheesy dialogue pass.. I'm not sure that's really true at all but it's also possible that the game designers had fleshed out a lot of the story and gameplay structure before the narrative part was...

I actually do not like the black space in WC4... but the blue in WC3 is also way too light in general on modern screens. You used to be able to adjust the brightness (and I want to say you were kind of expected to) of the background colors a bit with the old knobs for contrast and such on old...

As far using Behemoth as a descriptor instead of as a proper name, calling something a behemoth in English has more or less the same meaning as Colossus, According to dictionaries the secondary definition of something that is a colossus or that you would say is colossal is "a person or thing...

I'm no linguist but out of curiosity I looked up a couple of Korean Bible translations to see how they handled it. There was one that definitely used the word for hippo 하마 whereas others take a similar path as you approximating the original Hebrew/English using 베헤못

That's kind of a fascinating translation problem. I can see how it happened though. There's some theories that the biblical "behemoth" from the book of Job was a giant hippo, but it's definitely odd to just straight up 1:1 translate it that way, though to be fair, some Bible translations do...

Good job! I do want to say that if you have an actual spreadsheet with the original Korean subtitles alongside your suggested fixes I think that would be helpful for other projects, especially since translation can be a pretty subjective thing at times and there's value in having a version...

This is probably working as intended. The HD packs are upscaled from the PSX version of WC3. Only the intro movie is in stereo. All other cutscenes are mono only. WC4 PSX lowered the resolution of the movies and upgraded all the sound to Stereo. The WC4 HD packs don't use that as a source...

Somehow I read it as it's just black and missed the part where the audio does play. It definitely sounds like a codec problem or at least something going wrong with the overlay. Closest thing I've seen suggesting the reason for the problem was this:

The videos may not be failing... on some systems and with some versions of the patch the high res movies take a very long time to load for some inexplicable reason. I thought that had been fixed, but you could test it by just letting it sit with the black screen for a while and see if the...

It doesn't currently fit the criteria of how we've been choosing movies, but I could see it possibly fitting into a future spinoff category if we run out of shows to plug into the schedule. In general so far all the movies for the most part have to have some kind of influence or reference in...

The broadswords in Academy also seem to suggest they're also designed for longer missions too

I can't 100 percent say it was directly inspired by Apollo 12, but there's a handful of shots that definitely feel reminicent of the show. At one point in Apollo 13 the crew are dealing with the interior getting cold and moisture condensing on the surfaces of everything. At least one of the...

Done

I haven't tested it but I believe WCToollbox does have some repackaging ability, but I think as you surmised it likely would still lead to some kind of incompatibility with the actual games There's also the treefile.exe program on the prophecy/so dev CDs that can take files and make them into...

I love hearing the little tidbits about cast and crew interactions since for the most part it's exactly the kind of things the cast and crew don't say when doing official press tours. Learning that Karyo is a perfectionist butting heads a bit with CR is a little fascinating really (and he was...

The biggest factor was definitely the budget, but it wasn't the only factor. Ultimately it could be described quite fittingly as "death by a thousand cuts." A large factor was a mismatch in vision between the main producer, who was a bean counter, Chris, and FOX. A larger part of the...

I've been slowly working through the Wing Commander footage to work out what a version of the movie that represents the shooting script and the vision Chris Roberts had in his head when setting out to make the WC movie might have looked like. While this clip isn't polished in the way a...

I'm not sure I'd choose that as a category personally unless you narrow it down significantly in some way that feels like it has at least a little bit of relevance to WC... So if you could maybe say "X role epitomized the public perception of the actor at the time they were chosen for Wing...

IIRC he also wrote the 1991 WC "movie" treatment too which was an interesting take on the world

Maybe I missed something, but all I hear them say is that the spaceflight combat in the game is obvously influenced by WC.
