Famous Wc fans

[No Regret]

I just found out that my favorite author, Terry Pratchett (all who have never read one of his hilarious Discworld novels should have their figgins roasted over a small fire

), is a WC fan:
Here's a few of his quotes:

Pratchett on computer games:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial">quote:</font><HR>“I have played ‘Elite’, ‘Wing Commander’, ‘X-Wing’ and altogether too many outer-space-shoot-em-ups. I mean, don’t they all have shields, missiles and stuff?”

“Well, right now I’m storming through ‘Privateer’ under the callsign of Flash Bastard, whose career has progressed throughout the whole Wing Commander series.”<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


Any other known celebs who are WC fans?

uhm...chris roberts?

Mark Hamill?

Bandit LOAF

, not to mention all the writers of the novels...

 

[Dralthi5]

How do you know Hamill's a fan? Is that just a guess?

------------------
If I'm locked on, there's no such thing as evasive action!

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Robin Williams, Jerry Pournelle and JMS.

 

[Dralthi5]

Robin Williams, a WC fan? Cool.

[Nighthawk]

Freddie Prinze jr. (obviously

since that's the reason he took part in the movie), Smudo from Die Fantastischen Vier (anybody ever listened to some of their songs? He even had a very small part in WCP.)

uhm, he just speaks very highly off it

[Dralthi5]

Then if you say he's a fan, he's a fan.

But just because someone takes a part in a movie or game, doesn't mean they're a fan. Even if they speak highly of it.

Don't forget Dralthi, Mark Hamill has always been a great sci-fi fan (heck, don't forget about Star Wars when he was young). If you read quotes from him, he loves the stuff.
As for Wing Commander; according to the database, he fully enjoyed Wing Commander as a game and a reality (more or less in his words).

I´m a WC fan also.

[Dralthi5]

Really? Whoa, Asterix, don't blow my mind like that.

Metras: Hey, I'm not arguing.

Anyway, anyone ever read M. Hamill's comic book, the Black Pearl? It's definitely not for the kiddies.

JMS a WC fan? Really? Cool...

------------------
Well, its classified... i mean, i could tell you, but then i have to kill you...

 

[Metras]

What comic Dralthi? I haven't heard of a comic from Hamill...

 

[Dralthi5]

Metras: It's been out a couple years. It was a limited series from Dark Horse, I believe. It was about a vigilante named the Black Pearl who got in deep in a murder case of an underage adult film star. See what I mean?

[Metras]

yow... that was from Hamill?
Well... it's just like Dark Horse Comics to do those.

 

[Metras]

Wow... I just took a look at darkhorse.com
Mark Hamill was one of the writers for it...
This is interesting...

[KillerWave]

If im not wrong, JMS is the creator of B5.
(uh...is that right, right?)

------------------
Well, its classified... i mean, i could tell you, but then i have to kill you...

 

[Hero]

J. Michel Straczynski (have no idea what the "J" stands for, that can be so many names

), and he is indeed the creator of B5

 

[Quarto]

Straczynski?? Gee, we Poles really are everywhere
