    Explored universe

    Isn't it almost instantaneous? I though it was like the "fold two points together so they touch" type system, so it's pretty darned fast. IIRC the range was limited on the hopper drive though, and then you have to wait for a recharge so it took time to get anywhere, but the actual "jump" itself...

    What makes Blair toss and turn at night?

    Flint all the way, she was cute AND useful in a fight. I can load my own missiles, a decent wingman is hard to find (having said that, I played through WC3 enough times to chose both of them or none of them). You could pick Flint to heal the pain of Angel, then let her die on the last mission -...

    I got an AWSOME T-Shirt!

    Seems well deserved to me. Ya true, hadn't thought of that. Oh well, maybe I will look into having a tee-shirt of my own made up. I can "test-run" it with the iron on printer paper I have in my desk drawer.

    I got an AWSOME T-Shirt!

    Now that is cool. Q for IronDuke: Where would one get one of these made up? Pretty sure you could sell a load of them to the folks around these parts.

    The Last Starfighter

    I love that film. Somewhere on my old PC I even have a version of the game - Pretty accurate reconstruction too. If I can find the link I will post it here (they had a version of Space Paranoids from TRON too). EDIT: Found it: http://www.roguesynapse.com/games/last_starfighter.php

    Prologue Released!

    Cool, I will give these a go when I get home tonight. Damn work, getting in the way of my Wing Commander time. :D

    Prologue Released!

    Can you bind the keys with the Xbox 360 controller? I tried but it wouldn't register anything. In game I could control pitch and yaw but no guns etc. I can set the controls for my regular joystick but not the 360. Oh, and is there any way to enable my throttle? Great work on this BTW, enjoying...

    Wing Commander On BBC1 This Saturday Night (December 27, 2006)

    Mine is a Region 1 disk, although the R2 version looks to be exactly the same (aside from the obvious NTSC/PAL differences). As a note, the R2 disk is in the play.com sale for 4.99 pounds so any UK wingnuts that don't have it yet (shame on you ;) ) can pick it up for a song.

    Wing Commander On BBC1 This Saturday Night (December 27, 2006)

    Thanks for the info AD. I guess it just depends on whether Fox see a cost-return benefit from pressing the discs. Would the movie sell enough to justify the process, which, IIRC, is a lot more expensive than regular DVD? Oh well, I can hope (and maybe start a letter campaign ;) )

    WC flight patches - where to buy?

    Hmm, interesting concept. I guess it's not too big a stretch to see a group of colonised worlds no longer wanting to be a part of the Terran Confederation and forming their own independent groups, but all coming together to combat a threat bigger than either can handle on it's own. Shame it was...

    How great is Wing Commander?

    No, I agree, it clearly does say in that snippet that he did, in fact, create (not invent, though) the internet, but this is one of those occasions where even Snopes is lacking. The section of his response prior to this WAS about the initiatives he had been involved in developing to better...

    Wing Commander On BBC1 This Saturday Night (December 27, 2006)

    Stayed up to watch it despite having watched the DVD a couple of times already this week. I was reading Pilgrim Stars at the same time (shame it ended the way it did). The DVD is pretty basic, no extras to speak of (couple of TV spots and the theatrical trailer), but you should be able to find...

    How great is Wing Commander?

    Al Gore is often misquoted as claiming to have invented the internet. Now it's a running joke. Pretty sure he once claimed "All your bases are belong to us" too ;) http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp

    WC flight patches - where to buy?

    Hmm, I didn't e-mail you, but if you have any patches you can bear to part with I am open to offers on a price. Welcome back BTW. Related Question: Was the Sword/Stars patch from WCIII a Terran Confed patch or for the TCS Victory? I couldn't make out the text on them from the screen shots but...

    Peter Telep, and Pilgrim's Truth, and researching the legal issues.

    So I'm guessing nothing came of this? I just finished Pilgrim Stars this weekend (not bad, seemed a little disjointed but enjoyable) and now want to know what happens next. Did anyone ever get an e-copy or any details from Mr. Telep/Harper Collins on printing this up? --Stephen
