To my knowledge nVidia has been making not only the chips, but also cards with them for a couple of years now. That doesn't change the fact that there are still other companies that sell cards with nVidia chips.

I don't get it.

I've noticed something odd which occurs regularly with Standoff on my machine. You know the intro where Bradshaw narrates? I only hear his first line, and after that it's subtitles only. At first I thought this was normal, but I saw at a friend's PC that the whole intro was voiced over...

Does anyone know what the 10 stars are for?

Reminds me of the trouble with the Exeters in WC1 and Addons.... ;) (If I recall correctly, the Formidable and the Gwenhyvar are both said to have a fighter complement while usually thos things don't have hangars) Sorry, don't have anything intelligent to say about it, as I don't know enough...

I think I didn't make very clear what I meant, I'll try to cook up some visual illustration of what I am proposing. I don't know if it is possible to do that software-wise with current notebook touchpads out-of-the-box. In the meantime, maybe it's easier to understand if I put it this way: You...

Damn :D I figured, those touchpads actually could be much better for games if you would alter the logic by which it registers movement. The current method is fine for non-game applications, but for most games you'd rather have continuous movement in the direction your fingertip is from the...

Well, in my experience it's really bad concerning rumours. Just think of how often you see a movie being "announced" there, usually some kind of remake, to come out in the next couple of years, but it doesn't happen; and in many cases you propably could say the rumour was unfounded in the first...

The german version had all text translated, but the voices remained in English (With German "subtitles" if I'm not mistaken.)

Well I've never heard of the Phantom Menace trailer thing specifically being related to the Wing Commander movie, but I definitely have heard of people who buy tickets for some random movies just to see the Star Wars trailer at that time.

When Phantom Menace and the Wing Commander movie came out, there still weren't that many people who had internet access, and even for those who had (in my impression it was during the big internet explosion that happened in the years of 1998-2002, suddenly everybody was getting Internet, while...

I used to think with non-Wing-Commander fans it must have done much better. They don't know what it's all about, it's just some new space movie for them, so there you go. But over the years I hear from non-Wing-Commander fans they also hated the movie. Some of them didn't even know it was based...

As someone already said, a lot of the data in Claw Marks is wrong. If you can't figure it out, try to use a corresponding "ship editor" tool on WC1 to look them up, in the download section of the CIC you can find such tools.

You could just upload it to one of the 1-click-hosting services, like megaupload or rapidshare. Or FileFront, which is specific for game-related files, and you can enter a description etc.

Well, you are right, most of the Broadsword missions in WC2 are rather easy. However, they're extremely tedious, at least in my experience. Then there are some which are harder and/or more based on luck than skill. Overall, I find this thread very interesting because it shows how different the...

Wing Commander sure gets a boost in online popularity these days... I always felt, WC was quite under-represented on the Internet, especially compared with how great a game it was... Or it's just that I now see more of it since I visit the CIC on a daily basis and so always get the news :D...

Thanks btw for linking this, I watched it yesterday. Damn, has he gotten old (does look old), interstingly his voice sounds exactly the same (often with very old people their voice changes in a certain way). All in all it was a very interesting watch.

To my recollection, the sound effects in the DOS versions of WC1/2 were just different from the Kilrathi Saga version, but not worse.

Wow, that was a comprehensive write-up of the whole issue, Bandit LOAF, nice. I don't know if you are under the impression I would debate any of that because I won't - that's exactly what I know about it and wanted to convey, although I didn't invest as much effort and time in writing such long...

As far as I understand it, this storytron-thing is like very early Alpha state... However, unfortunately we don't see much progress there. But part of it propably has to do with some technical/mathematical limitations that are severly constraining what can be done on that area (like...
