    Recording in game footage

    Fraps is a poor program to record Prophecy with. It uses too much CPU resources, and there are better recorder programs out there. A better bet may be with Hyper Cam 2 or more likely VDSoft's Screen Recorder. IF you still want to give Fraps a try, just see what the default recorder buttons...

    Wing Commander Sale Kicks Off at GOG (December 12, 2011)

    Those are some really incredible deals for the holidays. Even if Wing Commander or Ultima is not up your alley, perhaps one of the other games for sale is.

    Lord British Lays Out Future Vision (December 10, 2011)

    If 'Lord British' can't make his new mobile games short, quick and addicting like Angry Birds I expect that his chances of success would be as much as the odds of his next trip to space.

    Bloodfang Blasts Black (Gate) (November 29, 2011)

    Somebody on a different forum did a file comparison check and there was no difference versus the copy they had of the original versus the GoG copy. So this means that they have a specific DOSBox configuration for the game. I'll keep GoG in mind in case I can never get the copy I have from the...

    Bloodfang Blasts Black (Gate) (November 29, 2011)

    I looked at the GoG information, but there is no mention of whether this is DOSBox or Exult. I suspect Exult, but until I'm certain I'm not parting with any money.

    Damn Darn DRM Discussion

    I found the following information in regards to the Origin service. http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/lsoj6/still_thinking_eas_origin_is_harmless/c2vbjty If you hook process monitor onto Origin you will not see Origin scanning anything, independently of how long you use it. So what...

    Squadron Form Up! It's time for another round... (October 14, 2011)

    I believe I found out what was causing the errors. Just to be on the safe side, I updated to the latest version of Java. Testing of the chat client worked without the errors happening again.

    Squadron Form Up! It's time for another round... (October 14, 2011)

    Squadron Form Up! It's time for another round... (October 14, 2011)

    I'd participate if they'd ever get the Java chat client fixed. It's been broken since the forum change.

    GOG Wants to Know What You Think (October 12, 2011)

    GoG has been exposed as selling software with scene cracks to bypass DRM. A LOT of the games they sell did not have DRM in the first place, so it's really an empty selling point. I have more buys from Impulse than GoG, and I don't trust Steam or GamersGate for future purchases.

    Possible video card issue?

    Instead of guessing whether there is a video card issue or not, I found some potential testing programs at the following location: http://superuser.com/questions/133844/how-to-test-video-card-memory

    Steve Jobs, 1955-2011 (October 5, 2011)

    I believe that the i products line along with Pixar will be his greatest accomplishments. I don't know if there was a long range plan provided to Apple, so there will no doubt be turbulent times for them during the next few years.

    Claws Bloodied and Victorious (October 2, 2011)

    When I first played WC2, the Jalkehi and Grikath both had those rear guns that tended to work well against me. In my replay, I'd say that Grathas got the most respect from me since they had good weapons and tended to take a lot of damage before getting destroyed.

    Col. Blair's 60th!

    Better late then never in wishing Mark a happy 60th birthday as well as the first WC game reaching its 21st anniversary.

    So, what else is GOOD on GOG?

    There are a good number of games that I would choose if I did not already have a copy. Master of Orion 1&2, Divine Divinity, Sacred, the Realms of Arkania trilogy, the Might & Magic 6 pack, Icewind Dale, Ultima 4-6. That should keep you busy and drain your wallet surplus. :D

    BREAKING NEWS: GOG Releases Ultima Trilogy Package! (August 30, 2011)

    I'm not surprised to see Ultima along with the Wing Commander releases. Two classic franchises, although with Ultima it had a very bad final entry.

    BREAKING NEWS: GOG to Resume EA Releases (August 23, 2011)

    I'm thinking that there will be an Ultima release. Perhaps the first three games along with the first Wing Commander?

    The one thing where Wing Commander was far better than most popular Sci-Fi

    While I won't disagree that the new V series was badly written, I will give a slight kudo for the unhappy ending of the second season.

    Munt mt-32 emulation is back!

    You need the CUSTOM DOSBox from the link in wcnut's YouTube video. Edit - Oops, you already downloaded the CUSTOM DOSBox build. Perhaps wcnut or the creator can answer the issue.
