    Drop Bomber Ballots Here (March 6, 2010)

    True, but you've got to do it a lot in WC2, anyway.

    Drop Bomber Ballots Here (March 6, 2010)

    Man, I couldn't stand flying the Broadsword. Every time I'd get in one, I'd have to take out some kind of fighter cover composed mainly of ships I should have no problem taking out (Sartha, Drakhri). These silly escort fighters would seem like Kilrathi super ships, simply due to the fact that I...

    Anyone there already has family (spouse + kids)?

    Thank you. Yes, all children are annoying when they are young. These children we are talking about are boys aged 9 and 11, so no, they don't necessarily have the maturity level to realize that they are making a nuisance out of themselves by making the kind of comments I wrote in the above post...

    Beer

    18%? No thanks. I like a good beer buzz, not a beer earthquake. What I will admit is that I am a relative lightweight. One 22 ounce 6 point beer gives me a minor buzz, which I like, and that's usually what I limit it to, so having a beer of the same size that is more than double that alcohol...

    Challenge question

    I was just wondering this the other day: Why did WC1 (and its expansions) have the "Challenge question" at the beginning, while none of the subsequent WCs did? Back then, I figured it was a method of making sure someone had bought the game, or at least had to go through the trouble of finding a...

    Beer

    Love Killian's. What's the favorite alcohol content here? Like I said before, I like 6 point beers, but what is the content % you usually go after?

    Anyone there already has family (spouse + kids)?

    Ok, so here's what I want to know from those of you who've introduced your kids to the WC family of games: How do you stand it when your kids are standing behind you, watching you play, and they feel the need to orate what is happening in the game/tell you what your next best move is? I don't...

    Beer

    It almost tastes like coffee beer.

    Anyone there already has family (spouse + kids)?

    I married in April of 09 (got to know since early 07), and she already had three kids when we met. We just bought a house in Tulsa, OK. I still play WC (and showed the boys how to play), and things like that when it does not interfere with anything else. I make time to play after I have done...

    Beer

    My bad, Death. I must have missed that post. Duly noted, won't happen again.

    Beer

    I was just thinking a thread like this was appropriate after reading the Bud Light/Vagabond thread. Let's talk beer! I can't stand many domestic beers. They are all-American piss water (AAPW) to me. Personally, I don't go for any 3.2 % beer, I opt mainly for 6.0% beers. I love wheat beer, so I...

    Run All Old WC Games in DOSBox Walkthrough

    Just wanted to pop in real fast and say a big THANK YOU for the info contained herein. I was having problems with WC2 freezing on me, and the loadfix -32 trick worked in DosBox, so it doesn't freeze now. I was going to start a new thread asking this question, but did some reading first, and...

    chances of future wing commander game(s)

    I would not call the franchise "dead in space," as Scotty from Star Trek once said, but the likelihood of another game coming out is rather slim. The story has pretty much been completed, and besides, the genre is simply not as popular now as it was 15 years ago. The popular genre now seems to...

    It's Vagabond!

    Anyone catch Vagabond in this Bud Light ad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS2-Zgr3bpA Pause it at 0:09. I knew him right away!

    Score!!

    Well, I know they're old, it's just that I see people on eBay trying to sell Wing 3 for 15-30$ or so. Now, I haven't checked what the game actually sells for, the auctions I've seen were still current auctions that had not ended yet. For all I know, the people asking these prices could be...

    Score!!

    I sure will, and yes, meatball subs rock! I was looking for Wing Commander III, but I did need an extra copy of WC2, incidentally, so I wouldn't have to be using a "spawn copy" when I eventually link my two old computers together to play VS games with friends. I was also looking for the...
