    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    look I got no problem with them changing chronology around, especially when they only have 2 hours or less to cram everything in, I just didn't like a few key points, mainly the whole pilgrim thing, the guy who played paladin(plus the way they introduced him into the plot), and well I just can't...

    Why Computer games don't make good movies

    ok well lets get this straight, not to be argumentative alpha, BUT WWII was ended by just two bombs so it aint all that weird that an interstellar war could be ended by one bomb(especially one that can destroy a planet), wars have been started with a single bullet, and both times blair gets the...

    ok, I'm going to chime in on this one even though it has been like 3 weeks, but I was pretty annoyed by the movie, first off, story line discrepancies and design changes aside, in some respects it seemed like they werent even trying to transpose it from PC to silver screen, I mean come on how...

    ok thanks for the tip with the shift key, but as far as the cd thing, it should get me past the "please insert" screen? I mean it should load up that screen no matter what you do right?

    Wing Commander Games and Windows XP - A Summary

    ok well I just signed up for the forum, I also recently decided to install and play wc3 for the first time since I got my new computer with xp, now the game runs pretty well, and even the video's run pretty smoothly with just a little sound choppiness, but the real problem is that both music and...
