I'm trying to find a Chris Roberts audio interview that I listened to earlier this year (in the spring) but I can't seem to find it in the news archives. One thing I remember him saying - referring to Roger Ebert criticising the WC movie saying there's no sound in space: "Well, duh! I know that...

I've always thought this as well. They just seem to give out more service medals and even for things like going overseas or completing basic training.

In case anyone's wondering what the medal ribbons they're wearing are, a lot of them are from around the WWII era. Tolwyn has a WWII Victory medal and Eisen, Blair and Rollins each have a Medal for Humane Action (awarded for the Berlin Airlift). Although some of them I couldn't identify, mostly...

I'd ask him why he cast Freddie Prinze Jr. of all people to play Blair and if he bothered to screen test him first. Actually, if I really met him, I wouldn't say that, it would be a bit rude, I'd probably just gush praise about the games. But I do wonder why picked that talentless actor for...

I wasn't sure whether or not you were one of the site admins or moderators but you've been here since 2000 and made over 9000 posts so you're definetely more established here than me. That's what I meant by "senior".

Well I think you are being a bit too sensitive. This is the second time you've tried to chastise me for having too much attitude (in your opinion). If I offend you that much than don't talk to me anymore. Look, I can see how the first two sentences of my first reply to you (comment #14 in...

I'm sorry, Mr Sensitive. If we were talking over the phone or something it would easier for me to be more friendly, but plain text is always open to an individual's interpretation. I just thought it was funny because you know, I'm the one who lives in England, you're not the expert here...

English-born... but how much time have you actually spent in England? I've spent my whole life here. Some regional accents (mostly southern) say "darnce" (dance), "Carstle" (castle) and "grah-ss" (grass), whereas northern accents tend to say "dannce", "Cass-tle" "grass". By the way a Hampshire...

Fantastic stuff!!:D :D Where did they come from? Actually I suppose it was someone at Origin, lucky us! The woman holding the dog looks like Malcolm's wife, Kelley, so it must be his.

It's "Toll-win". Simple. In the games and the movie you hear it pronounced by both American and British actors, so you know it's not "Tall-win", Americans sometimes pronounce As in a way that's different to the rest of the English-speaking world, eg. "Hahn Solo" whereas English people would just...

I don't know if this is fair (haven't actually voted yet) but Wing Commander 2. Simply because by the time I got in 2001 and having already played WC3, 4, Privateer 2 and Prophecy it seemed so outdated with it's 2D pixellly graphics. It was awkward getting it to run on my computer because of the...

I know it sounds like I'm just trying to criticise the film, but here I'm just being honest, I don't like the fighter designs. Just my opinion.

I think it looks ugly and bad. They look like they'd come apart if you sent them into space. This film is set 650 years in the future, I know it's impossible to predict what things will look like then but do these things look remotely like futuristic spacecraft? No! At least the Millenium...

So you know what the sales of the all the games are? I wouldn't have guessed that a film that grossed what Wing Commander did sold more cinema tickets than all 5 games (and then there's Amada, Academy and possibly Privateer). I have no idea what kind of sales games used to have in the 90s but I...
