People who have gotten the "ring of death" how often and how long do you run your 360 for? I have mine on a shelf with good ventalation to the sides and rear, I have the power unit on the floor but ventalated. I'm wondering if the heat buildup and the failure associated with it has to do with...

Mmmmmm Pancakes. Have you ever had IHOP's Chocolate Chip Pancakes? Most of the time I like plain pancakes with maple syrup (no fruit toppings or anything) but sometimes I get the taste for these delicious creations. They are made from chocolate batter and have chocolate chips also cooked...

You can read the poll question two ways, is it referring to the most famous WC ship from our perspective as players of the WC games? Or is it referring to the most famous WC ship from an in-universe perspective? When I read this poll I assumed it was asking it from an in-universe...

The Victory. She was the carrier that took the "Heart of the Tiger" to Kilrah so he could strike the blow that ended the war. Following the war she was turned into an orbital museum. I'm sure many civilians have toured her and saw the bunk that Col. Blair, the savior of the Confederation, had...

A few years ago (4 I think), I wrote Tom Wilson a letter telling him how much I enjoyed his performances in the Back to the Future movies and the Wing Commander games and asking if I could get an autograph. He sent me a signed photograph back. The picture is of Tom Wilson as "Biff" from the...

My thought when I first played the Secret Missions was that the ship's Confederation name was the TCS Johann and that the the Gwenhyvar was what the kilrathi renamed it. That was the impression I got from the dialogue in the SNES version. Maybe I'll have to dig out my old SNES and play through...

What the hell? I did not say WC was literally WW2 in space, for one thing the fighters in WC do not have props on the front! I said WC was similar to WW2 in space, here is my exact post: I was referring to WC showing carrier based tactics on both the Terran and Kilrathi sides, similar...

I see a little of the Bearcat in this ship's nose and cockpit, but it definately shares much more with the Rapier in terms of lines than the Bearcat. Its a nice looking ship though, I would love to see it and some of the other designs you've been posting added to Arena as part of an expansion pack.

I like the idea of sending a smiling Maniac thumbs-up picture signed "to my number #1 fan". :) If you are really going to send him anything, I would go with that. I agree with others who have posted in that you need to be real careful here and not give this guy any real information. You...

I think the ships in Arena look similar to their counterparts from the previous WC games. You can definately see the lines of the original Terran and Kilrathi baseline fighters from previous games that were used to make the variants seen in Arena. And if you read the Star Soldier Manual for...

Wing Commander's portrayal of the Terran-Kilrathi war is supposed to be similar to WW2 (the pacific theater) in space. This is why the use of carriers and fighters are first being used to their potential at the beginning of the war and why battlegroups tend to be focused around Battleships in...

I apologize for starting a new thread on this then. I missed the news release and didn't think it had been mentioned yet. I hope more people will give Arena a try and maybe this will give a second wind to the game.

I don't know if anyone here reads the Official X-box Magazine, or if you do if you haven't tried at least the Arena demo yet, but it is included on the demo disk with this month's OXM.

I totally agree with this. And I am not complaining becuase it sucks to lose or get fragged in Halo 2. I know that I suck at the game and am not a power gamer. I don't play multiplayer that often and I don't have the maps memorized in my head. I'm not really sure where I'm supposed to go on...

I think a lot of it has to do with the way the gameplay is set up for online multiplayer. I haven't played Halo 3 yet but I was playing Halo 2 a few weeks ago on Xbox Live in a random room with people I didn't know. After a few moments of playing and getting killed once, I waited for my...

On the leaderboards there is a category called trueskill Rank, can anyone tell me what this is and how it is calculated? I understand all of the other categories you can sort through to compare stats except for this one.

I'd participate in the Arena matches. I'm generally free in the evenings (I live in the central US time zone) during the week and pretty open on weekends. I'll be gone the week of Sept 24-29th though.

Brad, that is the same point I've been trying to make to the critics of Arena. Its a 50MB Xbox Live game, but yet people criticize it like its a fully developed CD or DVD based game. I don't think it was ever advertized that way, none of the press releases I read about Arena said anything to...

Why does everyone who dislikes Arena complain that 1.) It doesn't have a detailed story like the past WC games, and 2) It doesn't have FMV? It is an X-box live game that costs $10 to download. It takes up less than 50MB on your hard drive. It is not a game that you have to pay $50+...

Feel free to add me to your friends list, I usually try to pop on at least once in the evening just to see if there are any matches going between 7 and 9pm central US time. If there are, I would be sure to stay around and play for awhile.
