I think it kind of sort of almost looks like the Tiger's Claw from Super Wing Commander...

Wow... so it turns out my gamertag has been mis-spelled for years and I never knew... awesome.

Ah, that makes sence... and yes I did spell my gamer card correctly, hence it is displayed... and it even turned to gold from silver when I upgraded, but it doesn't display any of my stuff.

Hey, I have a question... I've had no problem joining games, but I don't get to pick them. Whenever I join a multi-player game, after searching it just dumps me into ship-selection, and I end playing whatever game it's put me in (makes intitial ship selection interesting, as I never know what...

I mean a command position within the fleet, fleet meaning deployable Navy forces in general. Not litterally in command of a fleet. Theoretically, Blair was commanding the Midway Carrier Battlegroup, but the Midway has no escorts, so that's kind of a wierd dynamic. It was never clear to me if...

One of the things I was trying to figure out was the disconnet between when Blair goes from following a Air-Force type rank structure to a Naval one. If he did an inter-service transfer to accept a fleet command position, that makes sence. Thank you!

The rank of Commodore was the US Navy's 1 star flag officer rank until phased out in 1899. It was brought back briefly during WWII, and then again in 1982 as "Commodore Admiral" which was changed to simply "Commodore" in 1983, and then to "Rear Admiral Lower Half" in 1985, which remains today...

Having spent my entire first enlistment in carrier aviation, I'm confused by the chain of command and rank structure in Wing Commander, as well as the inter-service relationships, patricularly in WC3 and 4, so I'm hoping you big reader types who have all of the supplementary material memorized...

On the subject of float coats... here's a shot I dug of of myself and some haggard individuals in float cloats at the end of the last cruise I did in 2004. I'm the guy on the left: http://keith4president.com/gallery/tigercruise/TigerCruise_037

Oh Wow.... I had completely forgotten about Turbo buttons...

...oh and the "if you die you never existed" thing is stupid, not to mention pretty insensitive of people who do actually die in wars, and the people they leave behind. Of course I relize that wasn't the sort of thing anyone cared about in 1999. Yes, I understand the whole point is that it's...

From a moral standpoint, when I was a kid and being a hero was a simpler ideal, I always picked "Save civilians." Because it seemed like the right idea... But now that I'm older, have actually been in the military, and have more of a big-picture concept it really is, "not as clear as all...

Another thing that after 10 years and countless play-through I never knew about... the Evil Ending! I mean, first time through I had to play the nice-guy hero and flash-packing the confed super-base is obviously just wrong on so many levels, and on subsequent play throughs I always knew that...

Another thing... did anyone else ever notice Casper Van Dien of "Starship Troopers" fame greating Blair during his arrival to the Lexington? I totally never noticed that before...

Good One!

Here's a funny little thing I noticed yesterday. The scene where Pliers pulls the Flash pack out the Dragon he is inspecting and drops in on the ground. Pliers and everyone around him are wearing modern day "float coats" a piece of personal gear which as a former F-14A Tomcat (RIP) maintainer I...

Um... ok. I really don't think anything I said there was deserving of that heavy handed, "shut the hell up stupid newb response". But sorry to offend. Also to simply write something off as "bullshit" is hardly objective. And yes, I have read the continuity discussions, here and elsewhere...

Well the good news is that this movie is crappy and unpopular enough that should be on HDNet Movies here in the states soon enough. And I agree with you LOAF about that conclusion being odd... I think Wing Commander is a little too "cool" being that it stars hunks of the moment Freddy Prinze Jr...

Actually, that's not entirely true. The 1.5gb download is not actually the entire game, it's basically just enough to get you started, and it continues to stream in the background while you play. I never knew this until WC4 stopped working about half way through please refer to this thread on...
