Yeh I'd agree with that ... well lets face it, I have to make some excuse for the fact that an "adult" such as myself enjoyed the episodes :) It would have been really cool if they'd continued on and loosely followed the story of the games. Would have been cool to see Maniac have his...

I just got back and read some of your other posts about your flying club. So are you actually inside the control step for the nearby airport, or are you just out of controlled airspace? I can imagine you wouldn't be too popular with the traffic controllers if you were buzzing around in...

True - even your lowest bus speed and a multiplier of 1 woudld give you 66Mhz ... still too fast. you'd have to start off with an old computer in the first place, and then underclock it. The cpu-killer apps are in the files section, here: https://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml The PCGamer...

No thats cool - I knew you didn't mean that. Its just that when you quoted that sentence to me I realised how it could be read :)

Any crash you walk away from is technically classified as a landing :)

Hmm I could see how that sentence of mine could be misread ... there is no relationship between the fact that I live here, and don't have a TV. We aren't that backward :) No its just that I choose not to have one. I waste enough time on my computer as it is ... don't want to waste even more...

You could use one of the cpu slow-down utilities found on wcnews(but I think they make it too jerky - thats just my opinion though). You could order the July2000 issue of PC Gamer and get the KS version. Or as a last resort you could whip your computer open and UNDERclock the cpu. Kind...

Thanks - I'll take a look at it. I didn't realise it was such an old show actually. I thought it was only a year or two old. Oh well, thems the breaks :( Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

Well thanks to tyedyeboy's efforts above and beyond the call of duty, I've now watched all 13 of the WCA-TV episodes. This brings me to my question ... is that it? Is that all there will ever be? Is there a new series planned/being made? There were a lot of themes and subplots which had...

Well I'm getting a little tired of reading all the WC Movie threads, and feeling left out since I've never seen it :( I live in Australia and I don't have a video/TV (only my PC and a DVD-ROM). The movie hasn't been released here on dvd yet, so I can't hire/buy it down here. I didn't really...

wow I've always wanted to try gliding - I guess it would be a whole lot quieter than normal flying :) Your training for license sounds pretty long actually. I think we're spoilt down here (50 hours will get you a fixed wing private license - I think less for a glider). What's it like landing...

cool, so you fly in Germany! I reckon that in itself makes you a better pilot than me! From what I hear the skies in Europe are very crowded, and most of it is controlled airspace. What sort of aircraft do you fly, and what are the licensing procedures over there ?(eg private, commercial...

Just a lame attempt at humour: over here (and I guess in most countries) one of the most common stories on insurance claims when you crash your car, is to say "umm, I was tuning the stereo and didn't see that I was coming to a cliff edge" or something like that. I was just imagining what it...

Just saw this post ... would that ruin the story? I mean what would happen to the Cobra death scene if she was already dead? You're messing with the space-time continuem (spelling?) doing stuff like that ! I remember I went back after Cobra died and tried to mess with things by killing...

Yeh I once had finished a mission in WCP and I asked for a status report ... all my wingmen reported in, and then as one was saying something like "I've been better" or something, half way through saying it he exploded and I got his death scene comm. There were no bugs left ... maybe he was...

I've been flying for about 6 years now, but only seriously for the last 2 or 3. I got my commercial licence last year, but thats not really as impressive as it might sound. Commercial pilots are a dime a dozen down here, and I don't even have my Instrument rating yet. I mostly fly single...

Hoping for a joy ride were you ? :)

:) No, actually being a real pilot isn't half as exciting or glamourous as flight simulators and WC would have you believe. It sure is expensive getting there too (makes WC collecting look like peanuts!), but its worth it!!

Yeh, I distinctly remember having a joystick for my Commodore 64! I was trying to think up some smarty-pants answer as to why the Australians here don't seem to have joysticks, but - surprise, surprise - I couldn't really come up with one. Maybe its just a cost thing ... I dunno what...

here, here! Well said LOAF. It amazes me that someone would even claim to be going to sue over such an issue. At the risk of being flamed out of my trousers, dare I say ... only in America ? :)
