I know I havn't posted in a few...years but things have happened. Started a buisness, had a couple of kids, had the old lady commited away (revenge is sweet) and I havn't posted but like I said...busy.
However I still play WC and have been looking for another flight sim series to fill the gap until another installment comes out. It's pathetic I know but I still fire up the old SNES version now and again to relive the 'old days'. Yes, a few times a week I check CIC praying that there is a light at the end of the tunnel where the WC saga will continue, a new novel (End Run is still my favorite and it still brings a tear to my eye when Bear lays down on his cot and can still smell the perfume, hell just thinking about it is making me depressed.
The fanfiction has kept me going more or less. Love to read and knowing that there are still some die hard (and VERY talented) fans out there gives rise to hope but god man couldn't they do something more with this franchise other then...well whats being done now or did the Nephilem defeat the Confederation after all? Doubtful since it was a pretty cool game...even though like when I had to upgrade from my SNES to a computer when the guy at EB told me that the next installment of WC was to be PC based and my Brother word processor wouldn't be able to handle it. So little by little a saved and bought a computer pasrt by part over the course of a year. Remember when an 8 meg simm's cost almost $80 each and boards needed at least 2 to work...?
Movie thing was cool until I saw it had almost NOTHING to do with WING COMMANDER other then the names ofthe caractors..wtf was the Pilgrim bull? Look, in the corse of all those games........that's been dabated to death. And isn't worth the energy.
Then again maybe the game (wc) wasn't all that it was cracked up to be in the first place? After all, every time and I do mean EVERY time I've ever mentioned the game to a friend or someone over the net their responce was and pretty much still is "eh? whats that?" But it meant something to me, and well, every other sychopathic wc fan out there. More or less that didn't matter since I loved it and even got my first love to 'play' it with me. More or less she'd (and yes she was a girl) use the joystick (insert sick joke) and I'd do the stuff with the keyboard. All in all lots of laughs trying to play like that.
No I'm not saying wc sucks but it feels like, is like
Blair IS dead now so in essence what was Wing Commander died with him on that wormhole gate and I'm getting along in years myself and my fear is that my PITIFUL existince which centered around the story, the gameplay and like in life itself the need to know what is to come for the Kilrathi and Man. Wll, that and when I go to the software store looking for the next cool flight sim and nothing is there. Well how to you guys feel?
Last but not least please understand that I in no way think the game sucks. I want to make that clear. I'm just PISSED that Origin
(rip) and EA just dumpted it like that and my feeble mind wants MORE!
That's my short tanhgent. Rip me apart or do you feel the same?
