Oh? I take it you been there before then? I had a pretty good idea I was going to enjoy Hawaii but I didn't know for sure until I got there and experienced it for myself. Still, I had talked to people that had at least been there before deciding I was going to like it. And I just love how...

The best post-WC-like game that I've played is Star Trek Academy. Had FMV, pretty good story, so-so missions. It wasn't the greatest but it beat the hell out of anything I've seen recently. Still that was a looooong time ago too. So best answer is to say that satisfy my space-sim craving by...

Maybe I'm wrong, but the way I read it, Rule <6> does not specifically state that non-WC based threads are forbidden - only that they are "not the best idea" and to proceed with caution (i.e. Rule <8> comes into play). I would also like to point out that there often seems to be a collective moan...

I take you to mean "as a model for a non-Star Wars movie or another game...". Does the same hold true for EA/Origin and the character Christopher Blair and the use of Mark Hamill's visage (and/or Freddie Prinze Jr. for that matter) to represent said character?

I saw a review for the new Jedi Knight game and saw that one of the screenshots showed a CGI of Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker. It was a remarkably good likeness. Incredibly good even. Anyway, it got me wondering if Hamill gets royalties from the use of his image or does Lucas own it as part of...

I thought she was good in "Girl Interrupted". Someone won an Oscar in that one if I remember correctly. Still I was referring to her more as eyecandy than for acting ability. I heartily agree. It seemed to me that the films that followed the first/second had a "Let's milk this baby for all...

IMO any movie with Sigourney Weaver and Winona Ryder (klepto or not) has at least their presence as a redeeming quality. :)

That's an interesting way of discecting A.I. Although I didn't find anything original about that movie. And the kid, Haley Joe or Joe Haley (whatever), seemed to me to be trying just a little too hard.

Best: Maniac Worst: Seether - that evil laugh was just too corney but I suppose the director/writer has to share some of the blame.

I'm not really satisfied with the trend towards providing both sides to play in games. My experience has been that instead of one good story and involved campaign, you get two short ones where the story suffers. IMO, C&C RA2 is a pretty good example of this. You get 11 or 12 missions for each...

Haven't the online flight-sims, for the most part, fizzled? I seem to recall Microsoft having one exclusively for MSN based in the WWII era. I can't remember the names of the others. But none of them seemed to bring the big payoff that people thought they would.

Me too. Maybe it's just the hair. :)

Re: Angel Dina Meyer (Starship Troopers) maybe?

I think you're right. I would think that most people that have never heard of WC won't care that it's spawned from a great PC game.

When someone made a comment to the effect "If another WC film was made…" my first reaction was "And how bout that snowball in Kabul?" Now that I think about it though, there have been other (first) movies that haven't done well yet sequels were made from them haven't there? If I remember...

Bug or not? Doesn't Pliers say that the cloak is a one-shot deal? That it has to be reset every time it's used?

I'm not sure how one can consider a gun a weapon of mass destruction especially the one-shot deals that were around during the knight's age but...the other examples you mentioned are good examples of limits in warfare. Not using a technological/strategic advantage such as cloaking, hiding in a...

I think you're mixing apples and oranges in your analogies. How about this? US troops stop using night-vision equipment, Apache helicopters, M-16 rifles, Daisy-bombs, et al because the Taliban do not have the same equipment. Police stop using Kevlar vests because criminals don't have them. Sure...

Have you been watching too much "He-man" again? My impression of the end of WCP was that the writer(s) wanted to leave Blair's death a question mark. They could have shown him dying (e.g. Angel in WC3 or Blair in the losing path of WC3/4) but instead left it open to interpretation. It would be...

Just out of curiousity, what was your initial interpretation of the end? Did you believe that, yes, Blair never intended to return from the mission? That he meant to die on the alien spacecraft? I've seen some argue that because he didn't jump right into his craft, he didn't want to leave. I...
