I think anyone who thinks they saw an escape pod in the movie is making things up. The action happens around 55 minutes into the film on my DVD copy. There's some shrapnel that shoots off to the lower right corner of the screen for a fraction of a second, but it can't be an escape pod - I...

Alternately, in the WC Movie, Knight was piloting the Broadsword on Paladin's wing that bought it.

What about not being able to punish Maniac after he lets Tolwyn go in WC4? The guy was obviously guilty, and it was way outside of Maniac's powers just to let him go. I totally understand how Angel felt on the flight deck in the Movie. Grr, Maniac makes me so angry... I had no issue with...

I do recall the original Metal Gear Solid and it's GameCube remake had the boss Psycho Mantis checking to see if you have any Konami save games on you memory card, and he'd have a few things to say about some of the more popular games. (It was a cute thing to try and get in your head, and sortof...

Actually, something they expanded on in Mass Effect was the ability to earn both good ("Paragon") and bad ("Renegade") points concurrently. In theory, and unlike Star Wars, you can be light and dark at the same time! And aside from the general "thousands of years ago there was a powerful...

When they did what? Kilrathi were known on a few occasions to take out a carrier's flight capabilities, but I've never heard of that taking out an entire ship. And we don't know WHEN the Kilrathi did it - it could have been when carrier shielding was relatively weak/pre-phase. Sure, the...

I didn't say that this didn't happen. Sorry for the confusion, but I was speaking about the action that we saw during the end of WC4. I thought that was what Death was referring to. I disagree. A carrier's shielding covers the entire ship, including the bay. The only reason Blair was able to...

And added to that, the St. Helens was effectively hijacked from the SRA during it's first shakedown cruise, after being rushed out of drydock, so we don't even know if all her weapons were in place and operating effectively. In fact, both her and the Vesuvius were rushed out of production...

I've worked for a time as technical support, intra-company. I cringed hearing your examples, not only because I've heard them all before, but because they happen all the time, in business all over the world. I'm sorry you have to deal with people who overlook the obvious. I also wish you have...

I'm really sorry to derail the thread here, but I think something needs to be said about Dyret's comment. Gee, I don't think I've ever heard of a kid up and killing himself because he was called gay over the internet. I did hear about this boy who commited suicide after becoming a...

BUY IT. Sorry. Let me try and elaborate - It's from the developers of Knights of the Old Republic. It's more RPG than sim, but there is a lot of real-time action in it. Unfortunately, no spaceship flying, but you do get to use this neato battle tank to explore planets with. The story is...

There's no doubt that, as leader of the Black Lance and the one who ordered the attack, he would have first-hand knowledge of the events from the pilots who made the attack. It's not like they would just drop the canisters and assume the nanobots worked. But, no, he was very far removed...

It's actually the "Identify Friend/Foe" missile.

Silly, unidirectional dish aside, I'm more likely to be familiar with the Comcon because it's the only Kilrathi capital ship that reminds me of ships from the games, with the violent, dagger-like design. While the movie Kilrathi ships are intimidating, they don't inspire fear like the originals...

Thus another reason to add to the list "Why Captain Picard is better than Captain Kirk"; Picard wouldn't even have relations with Dr. Crusher due to loyalties to her dead husband. ... But I digress. A green blob? The Claw? Really? Granted, the green color scheme is a bit garish, but the...

I think that's the idea. And considering no ship in the American fleet circa 1941 could fly through space... doubly so.

I just got my Xbox Live back online, and was sad to see no mulyiplayer games up. Granted, I was on at like 2:00 AM on a weeknight. Does anyone know if there are any "peak" times to go online to play? Or has the multiplayers moved on to brighter pastures?

I'm not a fan of the game. The overall interface was too simplistic, as was the ground and space combat, as mentioned already. From what I recall, there was no real open-ended mode -- either you fought pre-configured space battles or campaigns that are limited in scope. (I recall some ridiculous...

According to the novel, the trial was a full Courts Martial before the Admirality Court. It's interesting, though, that there appears to be influence from the Senate through Taggart, who insisted on the military to "clean its laundry in public, paving the way for full freedom of the press." Even...

If Tolwyn had his way, the Nephilim would have encountered the human worlds with 1/10th their population. The novel did a really good job of explaining the lack of foresight with "The Plan" by showing 90% of Telamon's population eradicated in just a few days, with the remainder falling victim to...
