    Interesting piece of research, Dundradal. Sigh. *resigning from thread*

    Revolting/Horrifying/Possibly a Bit Cool: A WC-Concept

    All this is academically really interesting - it might need some work to fit in another character with some recognizable ties to the old crowd, but with enough historical headroom to allow for a new story and a new game inside the well-known facts. But let me speak from a player perspective for...

    What if??

    Actually, yes - but in a way that lets me think along the lines of Farbourne. I'd join in on the argument of the insignificance of all the well-touted issues we read about in the papers every day. Immigration, welfare, financial aid, foreign aid, wasteful spending - all that is small potatoes...

    What if??

    Hey Frosty, an interesting idea - and although many of the dependencies of the individual actions would need a lot of research to really predict what might happen, here's some thoughts and easy research that I just cobbled together. For Convenience, I'll just use your 9 "theses": 1 - Possible -...

    You Can Call me PAL

    Picking up inspriration from your thread title, I gather this is an European release? Neat. But you need a better phone camera...

    Goofy Game Gossip Unveils Underlying Ultima (October 14, 2010)

    That is an interesting tidbit - I always wondered why facebook & the like have a lot of very successful game products, but almost none of them are big franchises. Is that because there's not much profit in it, or because game companies don't take social network platforms seriously enough? An...

    Taking the Shirt off Mark's Back (October 17, 2010)

    Just out of interest, and I'm sure this has been mentioned in some other post, but it would be nice to put the story in context: what happened to the donated costumes? Are they in some Planet Hollywood display, or in Arnie's big secret vault? (and thanks, the pics are great. Looks like Mark...

    So... Good Day

    Awsome. Awesome to see new things turn up after all that time, and absolutely awesome to see the dedication of you guys. Now after all those years of not reading the books to prevent disappointment, I can get them down from the shelf. Just great.

    Favorite car.

    To bring in some European flair: My former favorite - Lancia Y 16V, small, light, go-kart feel, but easily runs up to 120 mph.. The current more sensible one, Citroen C5 HDi, quite a freigther.. And the dream car - rode it around the block once, fell in live forever - Citroen DS21, 1972:

    Wing Commander IV - Online! (August 11, 2010)

    Although I'd like it the other way (have the whole game in English), this is a great find - I'll try if it works as soon as I can..

    Wing Commander IV - Online! (August 11, 2010)

    There you go, sir, files that are copied into /wc4 on root. As far as I know the old tre files are still necessary to get the audio for the decision parts, but that's a guess - the game does not work without them. The vob folder only contains the movie files, right. Why not run it in a virtual...

    "Tolwyn"

    Tolwyn seems to be a purely artificial name, at least I don't find anyone or any family which actually carries a name like that. Hence we can't use any cultural background as a pronunciation aid. From the spelling, it's pretty cleverly done - it can be pronounced in almost any language without...

    Privateer 2 and Pilgrims

    You don't need necessarily Pilgrims to get weird people. Just take any country, walk far enough in any direction, and people seem to turn weird... But for the discussion's sake: They *could* have reached Tri with the Hopper drive and some *could* have gotten marooned there, developing their own...

    Wing Commander- Least Favorite game.

    That would have been me ;) Seriously, I liked Privateer 2 - even though from the first minute it shows you that it's not a Wing Commander game, and after half an hour you know that flying and trading in this one is rather boring. But the acting and the storyline had me amused all the way - sure...

    Wing Commander IV - Online! (August 11, 2010)

    I guess the decision part voiceovers are not multilanguage, and it's not very distracting. But I'll try what a Win95 patch does on Win7, just for the heck of it...
