I've got pictures bookmarks somewhere of someone's Lego USS Nimitz (I think)

I'm going to have to share these with some of my mates, especially the ones who actually play Sins of a Solar Empire

This review has had me killing myself with laughter. I look forward to the next one

I got the Gabriel Knight series from GOG (Okay, Blood of the Sacred Blood of the Damned works fine on my PC running Windows XP but I've not tried it on Windows 7 yet and I'm up-grading soon), Farcry (I guess I'm one of the few who liked that game) and both Freespace games. Wing Commanders are...

I'd be interested in doing a meet, just as soon as I'm back on my feet with a job that is.

Teething trouble probably. Hey last time I checked I was 2nd LT!

I went with Freedom Flight as I totally loved the pairing of Hunter and Kurha. I kinda wish they'd been able to do more with Kurha. And there's always the wonderful moment in Freedom Flight where Hunter's been challenged to prove himself worthy of being a master of a Kilrathi, kicked his...

It was Captain Sansky, but you're right, he was a named character. And there's Knight for all of about 10 seconds in the film too. Edit AD beat me to it

I'd love to get the Independence Wars and Tachyon off you, but sadly my budget for computer games for the month has already been spent

There's a novel? Have to look for that.

If they are going with a 60s setting then they'll be rewriting X-COM's history a bit as it was always said to be created in 1999. Unless they're doing it as a reboot and scraping everything from Enemy Unknown through to Apocalypse, which would make things easier I suppose

First time I saw the name I thought it stood for Low On Afterburner Fuel. And I think the black on white name looks better

Well one of the X-Com games they cancelled, Alliance, was meant to be a FPS game with the research side of things between missions. And they managed to do Interceptor which was flight sim with Research and base management things.

Okay, I should really pay more attention to that sort of stuff. Although I have been busy lately

Considering they've been promising us that for years, you'll forgive me if I don't hold my breath. They've cancelled the promised game at least once already

This was a fact I liked about the film, the "lived in" look. The fighters looked like they'd been in combat, the uniforms looked like they'd been issued a while ago, the hanger deck looked like they'd had fuel spills and god know what else all over the deck. All too often you see in sci-fi...

That's probably a joke that I don't get isn't it?

The Aliens in War of the Worlds weren't evil, they were desperate. Their world was dying and they needed a new home. As they were more advanced than Humanity they didn't see them as being more than vermin. And the book ends with a note about the Martians landing on Venus, and the narrator hopes...

Yes she is my first. And the broken fingers are well worth it
