    Which game had the most fitting music?

    My favorite game music, regardless of how much I liked the game would be: Grim Fandango - Peter McConnell's best work ever. A combination of mexican salsa, moody violins, swing, bebop and jazz, all with a strong sense of thematic coherence. It's very difficult to get fifteen thousand elements...

    Tom Dan vs Lance Casey

    Actually, the whole Blair is your father possibility sounded even more fanficcy to me. Whew! Thanks for clearing us up on that one, LOAF. I do like the idea of the abandoned GE experiment. If it were me, I wouldn't be playing that aspect up for some ham-fisted drama, but it's interesting and...

    Continuity

    Whoa, I don't even remember those guys at all. They must NOT exist!

    Making Wing Commander Academy VCDs

    I used Ace to convert the files, but since I don't have a license it only converts half the data specified. Which is fine, because I can work around it by putting episode 1 and 2 together and then converting it which gives me a 21 minute file that has episode 1 and like, 30 seconds worth of...

    Here's a sequel idea for WC...

    That would be Star Trek: Insurrection, which was really just one long TNG episode. In spite of the mind-numbingly sleep inducing nature of the Wing Commander Movie, it never fails to confound me that people thought it was ugly and "st00pid-looking". I concurr with Murray, it had the best...

    Making Wing Commander Academy VCDs

    Proof that I don't know crap about these things, but I must ask: While it directly converts these AVIs to VCD format, does it work properly with those that are encoded with DiVX codecs or do I need to convert the file first or something? I already have the necessary codecs to view the WCA files...

    Who is the most beautiful girl in WC?

    Hey glasses CAN be cute! And not be some kind of an ageist, but I do think there's something severely wrong with Rachel hitting on Casey all the time in Prophecy. Maestro: Dude, the Commodore's girl is putting the moves on you! Casey: Huh huh huh, the porn star looked at me.

    Chris Roberts Producing Punisher?

    Wasn't Raimi one of the guys in the Daily Bugle office? The one J.K. Simmons ordered to patent the name Green Goblin?

    Chris Roberts Producing Punisher?

    Yeah, something about Curt Conners firing Peter from his lab assistant job because he was always late, right?

    Chris Roberts Producing Punisher?

    Yes, Doctor Octopus is in the movie, to be played by character actor Alfred Molina but they supposedly nixed The Lizard towards the end of script finalization. Of course, fifteen million rumor mongers on the Internet will have you believe otherwise, so who really really knows anyway? The...

    Chris Roberts Producing Punisher?

    The story's supposedly about some ultimate rave island turning into a spooky zombie filled hell hole, right? Sort of the same twenteens go on vacation and everything goes berserk kind of plot that was done in say uh, Pinata: Demon Island, right? Truly scary stuff, indeed.

    Making Wing Commander Academy VCDs

    Need some help, guys. Shortly before Ulyssis.Org took stopped hosting the Wing Commander Academy cartoon, I managed to download a few episodes and now I want to watch them on TV. Does anyone know how to convert and burn DivX videos onto CDs so they are viewable as VCDs on a regular VCD...

    Computer game quotes

    I love that quote too. But wasn't it "I don't believe we've been properly introduced: I'm Maestro, you're dead?" Incidentally, what exactly WAS so funny in Secret Ops about "We're gonna miss you, bug!"?

    Favorite Wingman?

    I never understood that though. In the earlier games, wingmen were useless but immortal, but in the later ones they were talented and vulnerable. What gives? I actually like seeing KIAs and AWOLs and other such markings on the kill board. Something about losing pilots makes me feel like...

    Favorite Wingman?

    For all of Wing Commander's focus on wingmen as essential to the experience, wingmen were more important as talking heads than anything else. AI was never the series' strong point. Lord knows how many times I fried Seether by pulling onto his tail and firing off a full complement of missiles.

    Wing Commander mentioned in PNR!

    By wholly owned subsidiary, do you mean they can't get hired to do third party SFX anymore?

    Seether and Orlando Depot

    They're supposedly around the same age, seeing as they graduated together at the Academy. Depending on which manual, info or encyclopedia you're looking at they have are either the same age or anywhere between 1-3 years apart. Maverick and Maniac look roughly the same age to me. I don't see...

    Seether and Orlando Depot

    Well, "both" Seethers act like they know Blair, and correct me if i'm wrong but i don't recall if they ever mentioned any continuous memory of the two events.
