WC1: Raptor WC2: Sabre Privateer: Centurion WC3: Arrow WC4: Banshee WCP: Panther Favorite Weapon of All-Time: Tachyon Cannon from Privateer.

Been a little while since I last posted, so I may as well start up here. Right now, I'd say that may favorites would be: the Rurouni Kenshin OVAs the .Hack//sign series Last Exile (simply the most beautifully animated series I have EVER seen...even more beautiful than the OMG movie)...

Oh, you mean like the mechwarrior simulator pods that I used to drool over when I was playing the original Mechwarrior? I recall reading about those and how prior to actually playing the game they would give you a 15 minute course on how to use the controls. Man, that would've been awesome to...

And it had Christopher Walken and John Hurt in it! Therefore, it had to have been cool. No, seriously, it was a cool game. Well, cool in an English, saturday night, B-movie kind of way.

Let's see...what's the natural reflex action taken by the hands/arms and feet/legs during a sneeze? I would imagine a kind of curling into a fetal position (albeit a slight one), so maybe "shields at full power" and "cut all engines with a quick reverse thruster burst" would make sense to me...

Hey hey, now. Don't be blaming Freespace for the death of the space-dogfighter genre. It was a really solid game. As for Freelancer, well, that's more of an action space sim (kinda like how you wouldn't call Diablo a RPG). As you've mentioned, FPS's have quite a bit of staying power...

I wonder what a Cerebus movie would look like? ;) (in case you don't know Cerebus, he is a cross between Conan and an aardvark)

How about a direct connection between your nervous system and the space craft? That would eliminate the .8 second latency between giving the command to do an action and actually doing the action. Your brain would give the command to, let's say, roll your wrist, and in so doing the space craft...

My favorite kill in DN3D (multiplayer): I was holed up on the rocket gantry watching the monitor for movement. I saw my friend come running through the doors to the launch area. I then ran out and jumped off the gantry, fired one missile at the peak of my jump at his position, and about 2-3...

True...I suppose I was limiting my thinking to how it is today with the assembly line method of constructing aircraft. But, I would hope to think that manufacturing techniques would have vastly improved as well, that far into the future.

And that was all I was saying. You asked the question, is a joystick necessary to play a space sim like WC (i.e. Freelancer), and I answered...no. And since I don't want to recreate the joysticks-or-no-joystick debate here (or anywhere) I thought it best to just leave it at that and cite my...

Oh, I've read the debates, and I must say, they got pretty darned funny at times. On a separate note (but related to WC): I simply cannot wait for the final release of The Reckoning! Back to the matter at hand: I personally think that in the time frame that Freelancer is supposed to take...

I'll admit that I was a little dismayed at the lack of choice on a control method for Freelancer, but then I got to thinking "Why?" I had gotten used to using joysticks in my flight sims and space sims, but why would using a joystick make sense in a space sim? Games like wing commander and the...

Don't forget the Descent series (1, 2, and 3 plus expansions). Also, don't think that WW and Origin were the only 2 companies axed by EA. Janes and Bullfrog are also casualties of the leaner EA (who's primary purpose, it seems, is to pump out Sims games and the EA sports line of games). I...

Don't forget Westwood! EA killed them off too (RA2 was the last Westwood game made). Not to mention EA plowed the C&C franchise into the ground (Generals does not count as a C&C game). Right now, it seems that the only lines that EA would like to keep are the Sims and the EA sports titles...

Hehe, I loved the part when the farmer said something like "It struggled out of the wreck and said 'Kill Rathy.' I don't know any Rathy, but I wouldn't want to be him with that thing coming to kill him."

Also, IIRC, you will not be able to lock on with a FF missile. You just fire and it locks onto a target on its own.

Hmm...-4.88 and -4.62 That places me about in between the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela. Cool, but like you said, I'm not sure as to the accuracy of the compass. I think a political magnet weather-balloon was passing overhead as I answered the questions :p Sure would've been nice to have a...

Okay, here it is in a nutshell: My original posts were arguing against the Bush space plan. However, in the post that I quoted in my last reply I recanted that argument on the grounds of my being mistaken about the content of the plan. After that point, psyche has been claiming that my...

I would like to point out a quantifier that I made in my statement regarding the shuttle: This sentence should make any and all arguments regarding my being facetious in my statement void. I very explicitly said "with current technologies". Actually, if you look back to page 2 I very...
