    Which movie did you like the most?

    Hm... Well, it was almost a tough choice between Fellowship and Phantom menace. And then I Remembered. *Hammers Fellowship-button* I'm with cff about Clones, so I won't add anything just now.

    Israel

    *Looks around in fascination* Wow, it seems I'm the only one not to blame an entire culture! I bet the Palestinian suicide-bombers are motivated by Sharon's... wossname... I'm not referring to oppression... Well, whatever, I don't remember seeing so much misery from that region when Netanyahu...

    The Two Towers Poll

    steampunk: Grr, doing that negates the art! Alright, now I'm officially VERY angry at Peter Jackson! Or whoever was responsible for it! Aries: If they'd let Christopher Lee give it a try (the 'translation'), I'm sure it would be interesting.

    Best Windows Platform . . .

    Conclusion: Best OS would be Win98. As for the joystick-issues, you'll need to be more specific before we can help.

    Homeland Security

    I have freedom because I have a mind of my own. "I think, therefore I am." This mind is also very specific about it being a VERY bad idea to go after 'terrorists' (do real terrorists even exist? I have NOT been convinced) in force before you know what drives them over the edge. Hell, that...

    The Two Towers Poll

    Well, I've seen much worse than Two Towers emerge in the last decade, I'll grant you that. However, I felt it was a little disrespectful (Gimli, anyone?). And that Thing about Gandalf (what he said in the stables before charging off, specifically), I can't make any sense of it. I'm reasonably...

    Best and Worst WC ripoffs

    Quarto: "Everything's a rip-off." You don't know how mad I get about that. *Nudges every WC-fan in sight* Psst! If you're gonna be really picky, WC is a Star Wars rip-off! *Quickly takes cover beneath a rock* "... more sensible..." Well, it's a matter of definiton, but I would, of course, agree. :)

    Best and Worst WC ripoffs

    So, now Independence War is a WC rip-off? What jealous freak came up with that? The only thing WC and IW have in common is joystick control (and BRender - used in IW1 and Privateer 2) and a space-setting. Saying that IW is a WC rip-off is like saying that Grim Fandango is a Monkey Island rip-off.

    Best and Worst WC ripoffs

    Best... Come to think of it, I REALLY liked Starlancer. The battles, that is. The rest couldn't compare to Grim Fandango in a million years, or Wing Commander 3, for that matter. Worst would have to be Tachyon, if you don't count Star Wars Starfighter (UGH!). THAT one's a REAL stinker!

    any one know how to program useing C++

    Hm, that reminds me of an old t-shirt an old classmate had once: I'm a programmar *Crossed out* Im a programer *Crossed out* I'm a porgramm... *Crossed out* I write code. Hehe, I'm old enough to have 'Back in those days'-memories! :D

    Terrorist... or not...?

    t.c.cgi: You're assuming that every prisoner is involved in terrorism. That's DANGERVILLE. How many are held there? How many have been properly prosecuted? How long have they been there? Hell, at least the troopers can walk about freely! Even here (Sweden) three persons (I think they were all...

    any one know how to program useing C++

    I really don't think this is the best forum to look for that kind of help. There must be some C++-forum somewhere... Let's see... I suppose people at www.3dap.com/hlp (Hard Light Productions, mods for FS2 and whatnot) can help pointing you in the right direction. Otherwise, I suggest you head to...

    Terrorist... or not...?

    For obvious reasons, I can't help to feel that the word 'terrorist' or 'terrorism' is widely abused. Most recently down in Kenya (if you ask me, that was "merely a streak of genocide")... So, now I want to ask you to type down your definition of the word terrorism, in your own words. I'll dump...

    Prophecy video too fast

    There are other topics for this issue, they shouldn't be too hard to find. The newest one I remember is 'Prophecy tech help' or something like that.

    Tech Help needed for Wing Commander Prophecy...

    Run DXDiag, reduce/disable sound acceleration. I think that's it.

    Blair

    The game seems to me to insinuate in every way that Blair's dead. Besides, I swear I could hear his scream in the frames immediately after the Bug Drop(tm).

    What Instrument Does Everyone Play?

    French horn, fluent in maybe 4-5 keys (almost an intricate story, and it's all the renaissance-muppets' fault for not introducing those key-things right away). Thus, I might also consider saying that I can play a trumpet. Not that I'd be good at it, but I can theoretically play it. Reading the...

    Windows XP, P4, and WC3

    My best guess is that WinXP doesn't grant as much DOS as WC3 wants. And hey, what do we have our ol' P2s for? :) Or maybe the CPU is too fast for WC3's comfort... I think something similar happened in Independence War, but that was only the frame-limiter crapping out... Heh, well, I wouldn't...
