    Amazon Kindle

    I don't see any of the books in the kindle store. It doesn't look line Baen offers any of them in e-book format directly.

    Privateer: Ascii Sector v0.6.6.1 released!

    My suggestion would be to complete it as it is currently (a Privateer game). It would be easier to create a new IP from the ground up rather than gut out bits and replace them as you notice them.

    SM2 cover question

    Now the real trivia question is which mission is that?

    Most underrated fighter

    I loved sniper strafing with the lasers of the Banshee.

    Why is the Space-Sim genre still dead?

    I don't think it's for want of talented developers.

    Nvidia, ATI, and PhysX

    If it uses Havok and you don't have PhysX it'll just dump it on your CPU.

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Last I heard the limitation is still 5 maps, 10mb per map, 20mb total. I've also read some really silly stuff about their rules policy concerning custom maps that makes me wonder what the point of including the editor was. And there's no real mod support? Just custom units for maps?

    Nvidia, ATI, and PhysX

    I think I've seen maybe three games that use PhysX. I'd say get whatever is the best upgrade for you for the price.

    Alternate WC 2 Intro from Demo

    The kneel is definitely a rotoscope. The walk cycle is awkward enough to be fully hand-drawn.

    Why is the Space-Sim genre still dead?

    There are a few indy sim developers that are getting along just fine. They don't shoot for 2-million unit launch days and have very long development cycles due to a small crew. They are far off the radar, but that doesn't mean they're totally dead. I have a strong feeling that Starcraft 2 is...

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Starcraft 2 has no in-game support for AA, but ATI released beta drivers the other day to allow it to be forced through the driver settings. The realtime scenes look fine. I would've preferred prerendered everything but I understand it was a decision to keep the game's size from getting...

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Something I just found out... There is a button at the 'login' screen: Play as Guest. That allows you to play fully offline. You may have to still log in at least once to activate the game. I don't really know. I'm not doing a full uninstall/reinstall just to find out.

    Did you like the Wing Commander movie?

    On the contrary! I am being satirical of all the 'realistic' sci-fi nonsense that's been in print about beyond-visual-range engagements and time distortion and how nobody has invented anything better than radio so they have to send orders five minutes in advance. 'Realism' is the bane of my life.

    Did you like the Wing Commander movie?

    If we were talking sci-fi realism, the movie is unrealistic because it's not about ships built around giant railguns shooting each other from so far apart nobody can see anyone else and targeting is done entirely by computers. Boy, wouldn't that be so exciting to watch?

    That's a good quick-sketch for not drawing in a while.

    "Wing Commander Reboot" Timeline

    That's the driving difference LOAF is after. It's an open discussion, not some website format that doesn't allow for commentary.

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    After you log in to SC2, if you are playing the campaign and your connection drops you can continue playing and it will save locally*. The only thing you lose this way is the achievements. As for whether battle.net will die soon, Activision-Blizzard is the gaming mega-corp least likely to be...

    Wingnuts, please help me...

    Better yet, change it to something witty! Then we can say he was useful in absence.
