    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Well...damn. I think I might spend more time playing SC2 then I originally intended if something like this is put out.

    Why is the Space-Sim genre still dead?

    I actually JUST realized this about Star Wars prequels the other day. I felt so silly when I did, too. We really just had that nice teaser at the start of EPIII. EPII was supposed to have a space battle as well but it ended up getting cut, I think the end of the film suffers for that. Typically...

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    I must mean the realtime scenes, and my graphics ARE cranked up to high (and by high I mean ULTRA) - I haven't been impressed with anything I've seen yet, the textures are pixalated and stuff that should be easy to read (like peoples names) is barely recognizable. I really expected better from a...

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Yes, one of my friends pointed this out last night and it is kinda handy to be able to resume a game from anywhere. I had some co-op experiences with some friends last night in a party and I have even MORE concerns about the lack of LAN play: -We (3) were playing Stacraft 2 while another (1)...

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    I don't really play many modern games. There's hardly anything in my collection newer then WCP. A friend bought me SC2 as a present, he's apparently a very good friend! I am shocked at the likeness of the between missions menu to the Starlancer ones (and even the Wing Commander ones! You can...

    "Wing Commander Reboot" Timeline

    I'm confused. I thought that the winning and sort of losing paths were both canon but from different points of view. Was I wrong in that assumption?

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Wait wait, you mean that I can't even play the Single Player Campaign without a battle net account?

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Well I am a greatly disgruntled fan. The only reason I was even considering picking up this game is because I know all my friends at our weekly GameNight sessions are going to be playing it - but I recently found out it has no LAN support (How the hell did I miss that news?) and now I'm...

    New Wing Commander Game?

    As I'm sure LOAF is apt to point out, the Wing Commander universe (though being admittedly smaller) has gone through great strives to ensure maximum continuity between the different products that have been put out.

    New Wing Commander Game?

    *Tentatively raises hand* Along LOAF's lines, I want to point out that the only part of the Kilarthi you really see in the movie is their HEADS. It's not like it's somehow implied that the rest of their bodies are suddenly hairless. And on another note - can we get a show of hands of people...

    Creating a computer-aided version of WCTO

    This is excellent - I've been looking for more details on these issues but I've been unable to find any. Thanks for the in-depth information, I can honestly say that's going to help me a great deal with my current project. Yeah, but this is why it's so frustrating. A majority of the Internet...

    Creating a computer-aided version of WCTO

    I'm using Chrome, and it looks fine to me. Checked in firefox, and it's good too. It looks terrible in IE, which I am not surprised by. IE apparently has issues rendering PNG's properly, not sure if you're using those or not. I'm using IE 8, 64-bit on a Win7 OS just so you know. For one...

    Creating a computer-aided version of WCTO

    It takes five years, three artists, an astronomical budget, and a failed marriage to build a successful browser based PHP/AJAX game.

    A Series of Unfortunate Events (July 16, 2010)

    For all it's faults (Mainly just the guy who played Casey) I thought Prophecy was a great WC game, and I thought Secret Ops was a great way to continue it too. WC:SO deserves some credit for being ahead of the time - every game that comes out now has some sort of DLC associated with it, and...

    Creating a computer-aided version of WCTO

    You might re-think this at some point, writing halfway-decent AI Scripting (especially in PHP) is not as difficult as you might think it is. I wouldn't do it by launch but down the line it's as simple as making a ship move in one of two directions (towards the target or away from the target) and...

    A Series of Unfortunate Events (July 16, 2010)

    I disagree entirely, no only was there a Campaign Mode that spliced together individual missions into a campaign, but every mulitplayer mission in the game was playable in single played - AND the expansion pack released for the game added in an entire story line.

    A Series of Unfortunate Events (July 16, 2010)

    I'm mildly confused about how X-Wing Alliance is the end of a Trilogy. There are Four Games in the X-Wing Series, so how exactly does four games make a trilogy?

    Windows 7 - Activation Problems (Not Spam! :))

    6 Days Later and activation hell is back again. :/ It did give me three days this time which is an improvement, again I had to call the number and do the automated thing to activate. This time, however, the numbers they fed back to me looked familiar. I think maybe it's the same code I filled...

    Moonbase Alpha

    Really? Is that still on? I thought NASA was just busy trying to get Muslims excited about their contributions to math and science.

    Windows 7 - Activation Problems (Not Spam! :))

    I MemTested everything and tried re-seating the RAM one slot at a time, when that (and the battery, and the CMOS and BIOS flush) didn't fix anything I tried taking out all the ram and re-installing it one disc at a time. It's all the same brand - came with the PC (which I know doesn't mean...
