A savior for me has been Arctic Silver Epoxy. After I sheared the clamp stud on a socket 370 Pentium3-866 (merely a little plastic nub on a plastic socket) I was able to epoxy the heat sink to the CPU and used the computer for 3 more years.

While disappointed it was not WC4-DVD, I am happy it is Lands of Lore. I have been looking for it since I had to move away from my friend that owned the CD that I kept "borrowing". I played all the way to the ghost hallway in the castle, then got stuck. Kind of like that mission in Prophecy that...

I don't know if this is a hoax, but Screwattack.com lists a "repair" trick for the infamous red ring of death: 1) Wrap 2 towels around XBox 2) Turn on for 12 minutes 3) Turn off, unwrap, and wait for 15 minutes 4) Turn back on I have no reason why this would work (unless the heat is reflowing...

Thank you. Both as one that has served, and to others that have served as well.

That is not playing around, that is a work of art!

I retired from the US Air Force in 2007 (joined in 1987). Since I signed up before Wing Commander came out, it would be very hard to say Wing Commander influenced my desire to serve. However, being of a technical and military mindset both influenced my wish to serve and my enjoyment of Wing...

What were the odds both required a trench run in a spaceship? :rolleyes:

Hey Arjak! I too use the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. Excellent joystick, it might be the best I have owned (I still miss my CH Flightstick Pro). One Thing I have done on my replay of Wing Commander is use the Logitech profiler software to map button 3 (lower left on the joystick top) to the...

Hmmmmm... Terran Confederation Ship, Tin Can Sally, TCS... The Nickname STILL could apply to any ship in ConFed, but it makes a little more sense now

I was 22 when Wing Commander came out. I have a drink with you, old man...

Or at least his actor, Mark Hamil, born September 25th, 1951. Happy Birthday to the Hero of the Confederation!

Thank you very much for the resources LOAF! The WC4lala.avi video is impressive, you should have that posted in the Holovids section.

If I am not mistaken, that is the front half of the ship sticking up. If the Concordia was ridden into the ground (think of Serenity or the opening crash in Star Wars III) then the crew might have had her turned backwards so the enginges could take all the re-entry friction and possibly fire...

May I refer the Distinguished LOAF to the following CIC update dated 13 September 2011: "As we celebrate Wing Commander III's first widespread retail availability since the late 1990s, we would like to mention for anyone that we have the game's source code in our offline archive. We know it's...

Computer generated movie sequences. This could allow for more ground-assault first person shooter type missions like Mass Effect. Assault on Vulkar Tag, anyone? Oh, wait, wrong storyline. If there is a remake of WC3, A DVD version (a la WC4 or the Prophecy HC1 patch) would be sufficient for...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery of your wife and new son! (currently smuggling load of body parts from Crius for you!)

Oh HELL YES!!! I've been looking for a copy of Ultima III ever since my Franklin 2200 (Apple ][e clone) was destroyed in a basement flood in 2002!

Hello folks! The wingnut community has a LOT of really bright individuals from several European countries. Here in the United States, there is an ongoing problem with low student achievement in the public school system. While there are many different ideas about what to do to increase...

Picked up on ocean floor sonar Close-up of "anomaly" The size of the item in the sonar image is 60 meters. How big is a Dralthi? Could a mis-jump cause time travel? We know a Talon appeared in the Tri-System sector a hundred years after they were very popular in the Gemini...

SCORE for you! I saw that, but wasn't willing to pay that much. If I can catch her at the adult film convention in Vegas (or maybe she 'll show up at Dragon-Con one of these years) I'll have her sign my film can edition of Wing Commander 3. I wish now I still the T-shirt from it. I wore it...
