Or when they are used in an informal setting, its generally to make a specific point or impression. "I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you, Major." -- Blair

Please... Someone put him out of our misery.

The whole "We're doing it for the oil" argument reminds me of something I read recently. Prior to our walking into Afghanistan and throwing the Taliban out, the argument for why we allowed them to stay in power was, "Because of the pipeline!" A proposed pipeline across Afghanistan that one US...

Erm... Heat of the moment actions are called that because, well, they happen in the 'Heat of the Moment'. Blair hasn't had a moment to cool down (he's been engaged in a dogfight with the twerp that's been provoking him, and is responsible for the death of many of his former friends). Thus...

Cats? Or Kittens? www.sluggy.com

So if the joke was so less than steller, WHY did you just have to go and ressurect a thread that's been dead for a week?

Umm... Is this REALLY a serious question? Really? Anyway... WC1 -> SM1 -> SM2 Super Wing Commander goes in there somewhere, although I'm not clear on how the exact fit has been determined (its really a combination of all of the above, mind you). Then... WC2 -> SOP1 -> SOP2 Blair's story...

Cats allow you the priviledge of feeding them and otherwise taking care of them, and every now and then, as a reward for distinguished service, you have the luxury of having it jump into your lap so you can pet it. Just remember which one of you is in charge, and you won't have any problems.

There are different types of games, and certain games are almost certainly not going to be great exposes on human nature. FPS games, for example, are not the place to go for deep, insightful elements. Space Combat sims are in this area, as well, although some provide deeper elements than an...

There are a few different theories regarding the Tower of Babel, so I don't think anyone here should use it as an excuse to not get involved in space flight. I've seen primarily three different reasons for the tower and what happened, and any and all of them could easily be the correct one...

There's a big difference between the outline of the novel and the actual novel, however. An outline probably doesn't specify that the Princeton has any similarities with the Concordia DN, for example.

iirc, Sierra got out of the business of making adventure games a few years back, so no more Larry. Blame it on Vivendi. (Sierra had a number of bombs, though, so its not entirely Vivendi's fault - although I do have a friend that works for another software company Vivendi owns, and he's told...

Fortunately, I usually manage to avoid the really bad movies. I think the only real exception was that awful piece of work known as 'Sgt. Bilko'. Ugh...

What so called 'film'? The only new WC projects that anyone is aware of are the Gameboy game and a television show.

Hmm... The back half of the fighter reminds me of the Hercules from Freespace, right down to the "keel" on the fighter. Overall, all of the fighters look nice.

Nobody knows.

Doom 3 is in production. There were various and sundry Doom games made using the Doom 1 and 2 engines that didn't have numeric designations, but the 'official' Doom 3 hasn't been released yet. There are a number of screenshots and other information on the web if you care to look. And as for...

If Mark Hamil appears in the WC TV show, then it will probably be in a cameo role only. There's a simple plot related reason for this. Mark Hamil is Blair, and he's a looking a little old. The show probably won't be set during the Nephilim era, as that's not really Chris Roberts's thing (btw...

The commonly accepted solution to the apparent similarity between the Concordia class carriers and the Confederation class dreadnoughts is that the two ships used a similar living quarters layout, which would provide for Blair's apparent ability to locate the quarters based on the time he spent...

No, but from what I've heard, you do have a point. I guess the best way to illustrate how horribly bad a game can go would be to point to the difference between AvP 2 and its add-on. I've played the former, and its a great game. While I haven't played the latter, all I've heard about it is...
