    Retro Review Recalls Wing Commander on Sega CD (April 21, 2010)

    That's odd, I'll admit I've only played this from an iso but it only has 4 save slots here too.

    Wing Commander Rereleased in France (April 18, 2010)

    I know but that's not what I was talking about in that quote, I was talking about HD content on HD displays. Virtually all movies on Blu Ray will play back at either 60Hz or 24fps depending on whether your display supports 24p, the PAL/NTSC formats are not relevant for HD releases (except in a...

    Wing Commander Rereleased in France (April 18, 2010)

    Most of the time that's true, but in some cases it stands out (for example, men with voices that are already higher pitched than average, or voices that you are very familiar with).

    Wing Commander Rereleased in France (April 18, 2010)

    Film runs at 24 frames per second. NTSC (used in America, Japan, etc) format DVDs run at 60 fields i.e. 30 frames per second, but thanks to the wonders of 3:2 pulldown (I'm not going to explain that here, but there are good explanations on the net if you're interested) the resulting playback is...

    Computer question - Windows message

    It's very likely to be a fake antivirus ad popup. Basically unscrupulous individuals + ad hosts have these things popup, usually with a link to software to supposedly remove the non existant virus that it claims to have detected. You install the software and then it will be a pain in the ass...

    chances of future wing commander game(s)

    I'd like to see that. It wouldn't be too expensive for EA to produce and would draw attention to the franchise again. I don't think Arena really did that as it wasn't really nostalgic enough to get peoples retro juices flowing. Hell, Marathon 2 got an XBLA release and I don't think it was ever...

    Spoony Experiment's Privateer 2 review

    Debate=good, insults=bad. If people disagree with what I say, fine, feel free to rubutt it, and then if I disagree I will do the same. That is the way debates work on virtually every forum I have ever visited. How do they work on this one then, by starting ad hominem attacks if you disagree with...

    Difficulty levels explained

    It does beg the question though, what would the point of destroyers be if they were ineffectual against fighters? Actually I've just noticed something: I don't have the original WC1 Clawmarks to check against, but in the 3DO Super Wing Commander version it actually says that Skinner and Dibbles...

    Spoony Experiment's Privateer 2 review

    Is that the best you've got, insults? I could give a detailed breakdown of the similarities, but I'm really not going to waste my time on you. As for the new Star Trek movie, that was more than just reboot. It was a different type of film both with regards to storytelling and visual style...

    Spoony Experiment's Privateer 2 review

    IMHO there was nothing bold about the way Enterprise did things. It pretty much used the same formula as TNG and Voyager, fine for 1987 but by 2001 it was a little tired. It played things far too safely and took virtually everything from ship design to technical Mcguffins to the lack of story...

    Graphic woes AKA light speed

    Iceblade I'm confused, have you tried getting an RMA on the card? The 9800GT is a big downgrade from the GTX285.

    Spoony Experiment's Privateer 2 review

    No it wasn't fan cynicism that did it, Enterprise was canned because it was a bland retread of a bland retread that couldn't hold its viewers. I count myself as a Star Trek fan and I have been all of my life, and I view Deep Space 9 as one of the best series ever and one where it was a disaster...

    Graphic woes AKA light speed

    Nvidia cards dynamically downclock when they're not really in use. 14% for the fan speed is insanely low, that will cause an overheat. Honestly, if the card isn't that old I would consider RMAing the thing.

    Privateer 1 Joystick problems

    I did a few things to solve a calibration problem I was having in dosbox, unfortunately I don't know which solved it. Try downloading the latest dosbox build from here (although it hasn't been updated since March): http://builds.tharos-online.de/index.php?dir=&sort=date&order=desc Also, try...

    Privateer 2 damaged disc help please

    That's great, thank you.

    Graphic woes AKA light speed

    Yes, but running Secret Ops is not what I'd call full load. My factory OCed GTX280 (which should run hotter than your 285) only gets a bit hotter than that running Crysis with the fan on max while the game is playing. Now, I can't be certain about the GTX285, but if you have the fan at full...

    Graphic woes AKA light speed

    Iceblade, what temperature is your card reading under load? Anyways, I'd follow Claymore's advice except I wouldn't flash the motherboard's BIOS unless there is a known issue with the version you currently have. Bad flashing is an easy way to brick your system, and it does happen occasionally...

    Privateer 2 damaged disc help please

    Hello. Inspired by Spoony's review of this game I decide to buy a copy of ebay, which arrived today. However I have a little bit of a problem: there appears to be metal layer damage on the first disc. Now, I could send it back and try to get another copy but I really don't want to have the...
