Question I have a question for Loaf. What were the Cod Wars?

board name No creativity here this is the first and only board I post to so not knowing any better I just used my first name (Michael) and the first letter of my last name (A)llen. The callsign I have used most since WC1 starting back in the early 90's was Mavric. It was a derivitive (sp?)...

Total Conversion I for one would love to see it. However what you are talking about is way over my head. I can do very simple 3D shapes in Autocad 14 and I do not know anyone with Studio.

Homebuilt vs. Brand name A lot of the decision to build or not depends on what you are going to do with the computer. As for the majority here, we are gamers hence our system requirments are higher. However my old aunt Sally who only surfs the web and has a recipe collection , a brand name pc...

Spacebattles? What is Spacebattles, a web site, a game, or another chat zone? I have heard it mentioned here before but never asked.

Art Class I made dragon water bong once. You filled the belly with water put the stuff in its mouth and drew the smoke through the tail. I got it all the way glazed and fired before the teacher figured it out. She confiscated it before I could take it home. My guess is she still using that...

Got it Obscure reference to Aliens the sequel to Alien starring Sigourney Weaver. Great movie just happened to have watched it the other night might have missed it had I not (pat's himself on back).

In the new issue of PC Gamer they report that Janes Simulations was aquired by another publisher and will be releasing a new WWII fighter simulation soon. Why did I post this? Because Janes had to suffer under EA and now they got a second shot. Lets hope that Origin gets the chance as well...

College I was lucky. The town I lived in had a Junior College so if you graduated from the town High School you were in. I didn't have to take ACT or SAT. Once I graduated with my Associates Degree from the Junior College (2 year college) I applied at a four year University and got in...

USB joysticks I have a Saitek X36 USB joystick and throttle combo. It works great on USB port. I use to have a Thrustmaster Attack Throttle and Joystick combo it connected to my sound card and it worked great...until I broke it. Saitek X36 is great because I can program all the buttons for...

30+ No Stormbird you aren't the only one. Someone mentioned RFBurns left anyone know why? Or is that a bad subject to be bringing up? Just for information purpose I am older than 30 and still have WC1 in the blue box with "Claw Marks" and fighter blueprints.

Has anyone checked out the new Popular Science story on trimaran ships for the U.S. Navy? They look oddly familiar like something out of Wing Commander. If you haven't checked it out you won't know what I'm talking about but if you have please give us your opinion.

According to the article in TV Guide the new series happens after the visit in First Contact and long before the original series. There isn't a Federation Starfleet yet, but the Earth's people unite and with help from the Vulcans build a starship and call it the "Enterprise". This is before...

New Name Mine came out to be Pesty Overlord. WTF does "Pesty" mean?

As stated in an earlier post I haven't played every game on the market...yet. One thing that held me up was my old pc but now I have a new one and can play most games on the market. I am going this weekend to purchase X-Wing Alliance, I found it and Jedi Knight each for $14.99. I missed my...

Yes, that is how I feel also. There are good exceptions to this like Baldurs Gate. But for the most part developers seem to be trying to win the console game wars by dumming down the PC games. Now do come down on me about console games, I am not bashing them but I think things have there...

This post is in no way intended to inflame, enrage or otherwise cause trouble. That said I want to know if anyone else feels as though the games being made today are lacking in imagination. Here is my point, Wing Commander gave us a universe to fly around in and people to interact with an...
