    Are you trying via Kickstarter or his email directly? I have had no problems communicating via direct email when he offered the CDs for sale on his web site.

    Anyone seen Star Trek Beyond yet?

    The basic underlying technology is autostereoscopy, which is a fancy word for saying the screen produces views depending on the angle you view it. Similar to the Nintendo 3DS, there is a special optical film placed over a screen that redirects light. Now. unlike the Nintendo 3DS, the technology...

    Anyone seen Star Trek Beyond yet?

    Hrm, I saw it in Barco today and thought it was quite good - the colors were matched and everything. It's possible maybe your theatre's lost its calibration? The only bad thing I would say is the three screens were disjointed - there was a black seam between them, so the shots weren't that...

    Bad movie going experiences

    My major peeve is theatres with poor sound - usually too much bass and completely unbalanced. I sort of grew used to paying for the premium shows - the ones with high end audio, IMAX, D-Box, etc. Because these theatres are required to calibrate their audio systems to a specified level -...

    Necro posting

    The only concern with necro posting is that a lot of readers may not realize it's an old thread so readers may get through and not realize the topic was from 5+ years ago. before replying to a really old post. It's a bigger problem on forums where the post date isn't as obvious as it could be.

    Second Edition Of Orchestral Wing Commander Recordings In The Works! (April 2, 2016)

    The way to do it is to release a tool that will rip the right parts of the CD and then patch the game. So you run the program and insert your CD (or point it to the digital download) and the tool patches the files. You don't distribute the patched file, you distribute the tool itself.

    Half Life: The most overrated game series of all time?

    Well, the most groundbreaking part of the story was Gordon Freeman never talks, and never makes an appearance on screen. There is no time he comes running out to shoot something or hit something, and all the characters talk to you, but never in a way that requires a reply. It also was a time...

    Wing Commander Album To Begin Shipping (January 5, 2016)

    It's EA. If anything, they'll make it more expensive and kill it because George won't be able to hand over the money. My only question is when should I expect an email to get a hold of the digital copy - I believe you get it even if you buy the CDs?

    Wing Commander Album To Begin Shipping (January 5, 2016)

    And if anyone balks at $60 for a CD, realize the autographed CD cost kickstarter backers $100. So this is a REALLY good deal. Here's the CD track list - from the kickstarter update - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1373816047/wing-commander-music-orchestral-recording-project/posts/1436393...

    Magazine Highlights Mark Hamill's WC Deal (December 21, 2015)

    Not profits - revenue. Only a handful of movies have actually made a profit (usually accidentally). Hollywood accounting makes it so every movie loses money in some form. So points are based on the actual revenue. Because if it was profits, it'll be $0. And yes, Hollywood is incredibly...

    Patreon Hacked

    Password managers work. The well known ones like legitimate 1Password (there are so many fakes), KeePass and others store their database in a secure format, typically encrypted before it hits the disk with industry-standard hard to break encryption like AES256. The key is that your master...

    For those who haven't read it, Patreon was hacked earlier this week or last week. The information taken has been posted online. While passwords and payment data were either hashed or not stored, the real extent of this hack is that members identities, both giving and receiving are now public...
