    Engineers Making Wing Commander Ships Space-Worthy (December 29, 2013)

    Ooh, I think I got that game during a steam sale, never tried it, like about 90% of games on my steam list...

    Strike Suit Zero Goes Free on XBox Live (August 1, 2014)

    Most of the time they are, though due to local restrictions, they may have to provide a different game. A few times this has happened in Europe. For PS+, both North American, European and Japanese PSNs have offered completely different games, so it can get confusing since most of the time they...

    Looks interesting. Guess we'll have to see how long it takes me to hit my first request for money.

    Sounding Off About Obscure Sound Cards (July 26, 2014)

    Depends on the magazine. Some magazines were designed to sell ads, so the "content" in them was really just generated from the press kit and perhaps a few minutes of demo play. The better ones would actually review something - either the full version itself, a demo, or a prerelease version that...

    Sounding Off About Obscure Sound Cards (July 26, 2014)

    To avoid going through the process of capturing, a lot of companies had press kits with screenshots. Marketing would just use those press kits (which often have high-res "camera ready" artwork for publishing) It wouldn't surprise me that the coincidental screenshots (or almost all of them) came...

    WC1 Beat Hazard Ships Update

    Could you put them into a collection or something? Considering there's 45 pages of 30 ships (or what passes for ships...) it's a bit of work trying to find each one...A one-stop place would make it much easier.

    WC Italian DVD on Amazon

    I saw that Academy DVD. Automated pricing bots are always fun on Amazon. Some of the more expensive books on Amazon - got a spare few million? http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358

    Behind The Voice (May 16, 2014)

    Is it only on Amazon and iTunes? I can't find it on Netflix or Hulu... Amazon doesn't cover Canada, and it's expensive on iTunes Canada. Netflix seems to know about it, but doesn't have it. Hulu just has the trailer.

    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    The only one I can think of close to food is "Eat it", and maybe a bit of "Dare to be stupid" OTOH, I would love to see if the cake is a lie with Still Alive...

    WC2 Native DOS Sound Blaster Pro Problems (And Speed Question)

    Does your PC have PCI slots? If so, have you reserved the IRQ, Memory and IO spaces associated with the card in the BIOS? PCI supports dynamic reassignment, and if you have ISA cards like an SB Pro, you need to tell the BIOS that it can't use those resources when allocating them to PCI...

    Strike Commander with Oculus Rift (Virtual Reality Headset) project.

    There's the 90/10 rule (or 80/20 rule) - where the first 90 (or 80) % of the work is done in the first 10 (or 20) % of the time. It's an annoying thing - but you'll see massive progress like this in a little over a month, but then it's all the little things that you need to do to finish it off...

    Xbox 360 Controller Guides?

    The Xbone controller is interesting - it's not as "hefty" as the PS4 controller (which is 1000x better than the PS3 controller), nor as heavy as the Xbox360 controller. At first, I thought it felt a bit too "cheap" because of its lightness, but after heaving used it, it's feels good. can't...

    CIC Forums Upgraded (September 14, 2013)

    FYI - the new color scheme didn't take for me. So you had this awful awful grey-on-white and blue thing going. To change it, go to your user control panel (click on your name on the upper right, then under Settings, click on Preferences and change the theme to Darkened-Red.

    New crowdfunding record incoming?

    Well, if you chose that option, and don't make the cut, Indiegogo charges you 9%. If you hit the goal, they only charge you 4%. If they don't get the $32M, that would mean over a million dollars for Indiegogo. Personally, I don't like indiegogo purely because they charge you immediately. They...

    Wing Commander Blu-ray Released! (August 6, 2013)

    Well, a Blu-Ray drive is cheap (under $100 for a Blu-Ray writer, even!). If you want a Blu-Ray player, I'm sure you can get someone from North America to ship you one - they're under $50 for a "smart" player these days. If you want to crack them, the generally acknowledged utility is AnyDVD HD...

    You're Invited (August 11, 2013)

    Too bad few concerts allow recording, this would be great for those who can't attend. (There are a few that do allow you to record their performance - either in parts or in their entirety, like Video Games Live).
