That's done it, thanks.

Prepare for your ears to bleed! Paging @ChrisReid - any ideas?

I *probably* should post this on the Privateer entry on the DOSBox site, but I feel I'm more likely to get an answer here. Since upgrade to Windows 10 (x64) some of my games have audio issues, ranging from skipping, to crackling to simply just not having audio. Privateer in DOSBox is one such...

Hey great work!

People are strange. As you say, how can anybody find this approach worthwhile? I think more than anything it's just a lack of internet savvy, they probably saw a pop up ad with some shtick offering to "advertise your Amazon pages on YouTube automatically" and figured that's what most people do...

Looks like all of their videos are the same kinda thing:

I'm almost certain that this is randomly generated with some piece of software that searches Google images for the item the advertiser is selling. The seller simply enters the name, and the software makes the video and probably uploads it to YouTube automatically. I suspect all the user has to...

Yeah I used to be an admin on another XF forum. After a while we blanket banned name changes because there were just too many requests. Mindcrime is an interesting choice Afrim :)

I think on XenForo sites like this one, the only people that can make these changes are the mods. PM one of the guys; I'd take a bet that despite his collection of firearms and supersoakers, @ChrisReid is really a soft touch ;)

This is actually the most pragmatic option. Aside from the entertainment value of seeing your character have a love interest, choosing a girlfriend is but a perfunctory waste of time. It makes the game harder. I find it quite funny really, that the only time in any Wing Commander title where you...

Haha, in the novel, Blair agrees with you and picks Rachel; then Flint dies on the Kilrah run anyway. The first time I played I couldn't believe it, I picked Flint, made Rachel angry and lost her help, then made Flint angry by not choosing her as my wingman...so to keep her happy, took her to...

Also, in response to the original question, I'd love to have Francois Chau (Vagabond) for S42, he'd have to be called 'Chang' too, as he's played this name in four different productions now (Lost, Chuck, 21 and over and of course Wing Commander)

That's interesting, I always thought Flint could be quite warm and lovely at times. Definitely opinionated, but smart, beautiful too. I always chose her. Don't get me wrong, Rachel was gorgeous, I just think in real life I'd have more in common with Flint. Blair was damned lucky to have his...

First an update involving the Amiga, and now Bad Influence! This is like nostalgia week for British wingnuts. It was a strange show, very zany and off the wall.

Yes, the CD32 was something I very much coveted many moons ago. They're occasionally knocking about on eBay, I think your description in another thread described it nicely; it was truly 'between the wars' in terms of styling and indeed performance. Aesthetically aimed squarely at the Megadrive...

My very first taste of Wing Commander was on the Amiga. Even with the reduced colours and lack of in-cockpit explosions or hand movements, the game was mind blowingly good for the time. Edit: Interesting that they chose a Drakhri for the magazine's cover graphic. Ahh how I miss those mags...

Those shelves behind Richard...! What a time to be alive. I too very much miss buying software in a box. A zip file full of .pdf manuals included with a game bought for download just doesn't cut it. Wing Commander was a superb example of how to fill a box with goodies. Those times are behind us...

To be fair, they were quite desperate to get the final episode released in time for the CIC's birthday. Which was a great present.

It's 4am, and thanks to the necro bump above, I just spent 40 minutes reading through this epic adventure once more. I never thought I'd reach a time in my life where lying awake in bed in the small hours with a smartphone reading about how a dude far across the sea went to great trouble to...
