    In hindsight, the Wing Commander movie was a masterpiece.

    Maybe but even though the movie says "It's science!" it's still basically space-magic being called science. It wasn't so much a big punch for me as it was a hand-wave. I'm really never going to like the Pilgrim plot element. At its heart no matter what you call it, it's still just a...

    What is your favorite WING COMMANDER game?

    ^^^ I agree completely. The burnt out hulls in WC3/4 were cool but I always thought Prophecy's approach was really strange and not very satisfying. I blew you up! I want to see you destroyed!

    In hindsight, the Wing Commander movie was a masterpiece.

    I get that but the way the movie handled it made it space magic for all intents and purposes and the "science" they spoke about was often ridiculous such as the theory that the pilgrims evolved because of radiation from their ship's engines. Like you said Paladin is very Obi-wan, that vibe even...

    In hindsight, the Wing Commander movie was a masterpiece.

    Coincidentally I also rewatched the Wing Commander movie the other day as part of my summer tradition of playing through all the Wing Commander games. I also wanted to show it to my girlfriend who liked Maniac and Paladin but hated the rest of the film. As for Transformers... it's utter crap. I...

    This Durango Packs a Punch (June 27, 2011)

    I like some of Chris's theories rather than the colors being representative of the entire Confed fleet. For instance: It's hard to tell but she still looks green to me meaning the Concordia wasn't repainted blue and gray during the timeframe of WC3. And yeah WC4 is definitely really gritty...

    What is your favorite WING COMMANDER game?

    I too only managed to save the Ralari once. It was out of a stroke of dumb luck really. I got one of the Jalthis to ram into to Ralari, severely damaging itself and giving me the break I needed to beat the mission.

    I'm not sure I have much I can contribute but I'll try to come and listen in on what you guys are up to.

    Prophecy MIA recovery unwinable?

    I can't help with whatever is causing this glitch (hopefully someone else can) but I can tell you that it's indeed winnable. There's no reason the SAR shouldn't be picking up the pilot. If you can't fix it you can continue on with failing this mission and I think you'll be back on track by...

    just started playing Standoff for the first time...

    I just played through Standoff this week for the first time, I've also really been meaning to play it but just never got around to it. I had the same impression as you at first. The first chapter is really damn tough but either I got used to it or the game gets a bit easier once you start...

    Dead genres and the reason they died

    Oh man that giant compendium book that came with Starsiege was amazing. I wish non-special edition games still came with extras like that.

    Crashes at ending movie.

    Yeah I'm planning on starting on the losing paths soon :). And yes I'm up to date.

    Crashes at ending movie.

    After beating the final mission on the winning path when I try to exit the mission review screen instead of showing the ending the game crashes. I'm using Windows Vista and a NVIDIA GeForce 7100. If possible does anyone have links to the ending videos because otherwise the game worked...

    Dead genres and the reason they died

    Space sims and mech sims were my life. I don't try hard to keep up with newer games anymore probably because these genres are so rare these days. As for Mechwarrior 5, ditto on hating Harmony Gold to death.

    What is your favorite WING COMMANDER game?

    Though I seem to answer this question every time I have one of my rare visits to the CIC I'll give it another go. Wing Commander 2 no contest for me. Not only was it the first game in the series that I played but in my opinion it has the best writing, character development, graphical style...

    Wing Commander III. Major Success, or Dramatic Fail?

    While I love Wing Commander 3 and 4 because I love the universe and I love the storyline, I'm of the opinion that some of the others have already shared that as far as gameplay goes 1 and 2 are a lot funner. In the first two games and Prophecy the dogfights are fierce, the weapons feel...

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    I think I'm one of the few people who wasn't completely offended by Chekov's performance in the movie. I think the wictor wictor joke was sort of obligatory and he played his part well for the rest of the movie after that. There's one thing I did like about Nero that showed a bit of...

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    I went in totally expecting to hate and tear this movie apart, but I have to say I absolutely loved it. The characters were spot on and the alternate dimension reboot is the breath of fresh air that Star Trek needed. The Enterprise was beautiful up on screen, the score was awesome, I even really...
