He's the chief tech and it's his shop, that's not to say he's not out of line, but as a character I totally buy it. Think of a large company where a CEO walks into the warehouse to speak to the warehouse supervisor, you'll often find the supervisor to be combative - maybe protective of his...

Fabulous actor, and there's nobody else who I'd have wanted for Pliers. "Good luck kid."

So great seeing him sitting next to John Rhys-Davies and uttering those lines that are so familiar to us all, I've never seen that clip before. RIP and thank you. 98! What an innings!

I've nothing useful to add, but this is the coolest update in some time!

Is 'bruiser' still used?

Or a PC if you can wait another 1-2 years :D

Interesting point. Yes it could be close to the engine limit. Way back I remember using HCl's WC3 mission creator and I think there was a limit of ten ships per nav point at a time. You could get away with one or two more above that, but it would be prone to crashing and dumping you into DOS...

It's been a minute since I used it, but there's WC3SAV. I don't know if you can use it to change what mission you're up to, but worth a try. Almost certainly needs to be run in a DOS or DOSBox environment. EDIT: Yes this works. Place it in the same folder as your WC3 savegames, these are...

Perhaps. But because of your article, we've at least all thought of him today.

Always bittersweet seeing these again. Klavs takes on Wing Commander ships were unmistakably unique and beautiful, his talent is immortalised in every piece.

24MB is obscene by 1996 standards. I have a Socket 7 system from 1997 with an 8MB card, it's absolute overkill for that platform.

Yes - without a clear plan or direction for a sequel, surely the ambiguity is on purpose. Say they decided to make a Prophecy sequel in 2001, they would have the creative freedom to decide what happened to Blair because they hadn't railroaded themselves into revealing his fate. However, with no...

There's a scene in WCIV where Maniac is describing the time he took a Confed marine for a ride in the back of a fighter, and the marine blacked out in the back seat. Maniac says something like "He'd tossed his cookies, passed out!" This is right before his potential fight with Dekker. At 1:31:05

Oh for sure, I'm not saying you'd want to do it - more that I'd trust the fans more than the powers that be. Of course, EA would never just hand it over to us! Standoff was a good example of a successful fan-lead project, of course it wasn't as polished as a triple-A title but it was very...

I don't think I'd favour a sequel now, I'm too afraid of some kind of reboot or disregard for lore. If it was handed to the CIC then fine. I'd trust @Pedro @Howard Day and @Bandit LOAF to put something together that doesn't trample on the past too much. Moreso even than Chris Roberts at this...

Pasty Kensit as Major Edmond?

I googled what waifu means thinking it must stand for something. That is...disturbing.

That's good. I think most people will approve of a faithful version of the game, after all, it's a remaster rather than a remake. That said, down the line, modding might be fun. I normally disapprove of game mods wholesale because they have a tendency to detract from the brilliance of the...

I think there are some harsh opinions in this thread! I thought WC3's acting was excellent. Yes this strikes me every time. Of course the first time you play the game it doesn't mean much, if anything it's ambiguous - but with the knowledge that he's about to defect back to the Kilrathi, it's...

Flash scores a few kills, but like Maniac he will not listen to your orders. He also has a tendency to eject/die by attacking capital ships alone while being pursued by multiple fighters. If you take him with you as one of the 3 wingmen for the raid on Kilrah, then he will obey your orders (so...
