I think this is a bit of a modern superstition on our part. We're used to thinking of bioweapons and chemical weapons as being especially controversial because their use is outlawed by modern conventions. We know that the temblor is supposed to be the equivalent of the atom bomb, but we still...

Wow. I'm so very torn on this. A part of me wants to scream how cool this game is. What an awesome concept, what fun execution. The other part of me wants to scream that this is the most idiotic thing ever. That about the only thing worse would be a simulation of painting a room - complete...

It seems like they're simply very inconsistent in WC1. You see the Kilrathi with tails in the losing McAuliffe cutscene, but they're clearly tailless in the wining scene. You see them tailless again in the winning scene in Rostov, and - surprise surprise - with tails in the losing Rostov scene...

To be fair, I think the WCA cartoon also didn't bother with that. It's one of those ideas that's certainly good as a way of differentiating the Kilrathi from humans, but when you put it into practice, people wind up thinking you're a sex-obsessed pervert. So, I suppose, the concept had to die...

Ahem. If I recall correctly the cutscenes from SM2, she's missing some parts of her anatomy. On a sidenote: has anyone ever considered the sheer inconvenience of clothes and especially armour for the tail? Each of those armour rings would have to be snapped on separately, one at a time. I...

Certainly, this is a far superior character design for Sonic. The character now looks genuinely great. I remain extremely sceptical about the film's chances of success, however. The way I see it, Sega has at last produced a movie to beat Nintendo's Super Mario Brothers - but after 25 years, does...

To be fair, I *think* L.I.F.'s view is that the Epic Store isn't providing a good alternative, and making up for it in strong-arm tactics. While I agree with you that Epic is simply exercising their right to compete in the free market any way they can, and while I also don't think that...

Welp, it's a funny thing you assume my game is being sold on Epic, since I never said no such thing :). Oddly enough, it's actually true - the game I've most recently been working on, Bee Simulator, is indeed one of the titles that "sold out" to Epic. As an external consultant on the project, I...

Very, very cool. Yes, I will admit, I forgot how great those landing sequences were. Looking at them, and the high quality of the original renders, I could almost believe for a moment that the company capable of producing such fine work would inevitably produce a great, fantastic game. ...Then...

Look, I get the irritation. But you need to admit - at least to yourself - it's a purely emotional reaction without any logic behind it. You have no objection to Steam - and yet, this was exactly how Steam was able to capture a large market share, by exclusivity. Surely, you still remember the...

I don't think you're seeing all the facts. China didn't overplay their hand - rather, they were forced to do more than they wanted to. They've been continually playing with one hand tied behind their back for decades and decades. Back in the day when the subject of Hong Kong's future first came...

You know, I keep thinking about this whole situation, and I really can't help being reminded of Hungary in 1956. When the demonstrations started in Budapest, Radio Free Europe made a really strong push to encourage Hungarians to rebel. It was successful, and over thirteen days, it seemed like...

Seller: "Buying Wing 2, eh? Well, you know, all your friends died." Tarsus: "Oh, well. At least I'll have more time to play Wing 2." Seller: "No, I mean, inside the game... they all died in Wing 2." Tarsus: "Noooooooooooooooooooo!"

I rather doubt it's as uncharted as we may imagine. We don't know the legalities of it - but they most certainly do. Archive.org is hardly some sort of abandonware site, it's the single biggest archive on the internet. They wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't legal for them - either because it...

I can't say I've ever encountered this issue… and I think, judging from the number of other responses you've gotten, probably it's a rare one ;).

Sorry, not interested. Fan remasters - great. But as for official remasters - that train has long left the station. The world has shifted too much, and EA has shifted too much. Not in the sense of "I HATE EA BECAUSE LOOT BOXES" and all that jazz, but in the sense that there is no one left at EA...

I'm sure that makes sense somehow but... how? :) How exactly does this promote IT security?

Wow! That's actually a really neat-looking ship design in its original corvette form. It's funny what a paintjob can do, though, because I certainly never had the feeling, looking at the Crossbow in SO1, that this ship was originally designed for a different scale. From a gameplay perspective...

If you don't agree with me, you're missing the point :). We can regulate some things (though it's a dangerous weapon), but some things absolutely cannot be regulated - and this is one of them. The threat China wields is the same threat all customers wield - the refusal to buy. Since you can't...

Pretty neat. Apart from just re-creating the WCM Snakeir, there's two interesting angles you could take with this ship. One, would be to modify it in such a way that it looks more appropriate to WC1. The other would be to modify it instead to fit the angular aesthetics of WC3. Both would be...
