Is that seriously selling disc 1 and 4? That's just messed up. We should contact this guy... I think I have some random cd's that don't go to anything anymore, he might want to try to sell those too...

Actually, Karate-do (the full proper term) is the "way of the open [or empty] hand" in the Japanese language and is Japanese in origin. The island of Okinawa took from China (not india) the very basic concepts of martial arts and developed them into Karate-do in 3 or 4 formats which was then...

I came very close to becoming an USAF pilot twice. Once as I was graduating high school, and then once when I was 23 and struggling with my theatre career. Both times I got as far as speaking with recruiters and getting the paperwork - I already had been accepted in high school to the academy...

I do a lot of working with contracts and so forth in the film/tv/theatre business and regularly write up contracts for intellectual property, so I'd be happy to help with this. I would need a lot of information from the people who know what's going on though, because right now all I know is what...

Rocketing Rabbit

The thing is, the carrier decks were a homage to WW2 carriers and to the previous WC games; when they were making the original WC they weren't giving much thought to physics, and so everything thereafter were attempts to make an illogical choice have some sort of logic to it. A carrier in...

With regards to the eyepatch... while certainly not a permanent thing by necessity, one might wonder how desperate for pilots the TCSF must have been to not have grounded Paladin for having no depth-perception due to having only one eye available... Realistically, I don't know how much vision...

No Hoax, other interviews with Lucas point to the same thing; two shows, one animated and one live-action. Personally, I think it could be very good; Lucas' track record with films he wrote then stepped away from is pretty decent; Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

Okay, so Ace Combat V... any good? I've got a PS2 and that joystick/throttle setup looks pretty... I'd try the WC games on my PS2 in a heartbeat if I had that setup. I've been looking at getting a throttle as it is for my PC...

Indeed. While I'll sit down to any WC game or perhaps a good old fashioned game of the original Zelda, I can still appreciate Civilization III or on my set-top the Tony Hawk games... I just wish they'd come out with a modern WC-style cinematic storyline flight sim type again... while they...

Hands down, the Rapier. Personally, the best fighter I remember flying through the years. I loved the Bearcat and the Excalibur too, but they were less prominent over time. Impact-wise, only the Raptor or Scimitar has an equally long history in the Kilrathi war, and only the Hellcat in its...

Speaking as an industry professional when it comes to video and DVD codecs, the likely reason they never bothered to order a run of a DVD version after preparing it for DVD is simply that they didn't see that the market was large enough. Prepping the video for DVD would actually be practically...

Hmm So what's this about flying drunk? I think I played through that game 7 or 8 times, and I don't remember flying drunk. Does it make some difference? Does Blair sound pissed when he comms others? Do your controls go wobbly? :eek: :D I tried picking them both at different times, though...

I've got the same problem, and I have already set the audio accel. to zero. It improved it somewhat, but still skips all over the place. Otherwise, loving the game :) As to difficulty, I promise that you can get better. I was getting my backside booted for quite a while but am now doing much...

I'm playing both paths simultaneously. I'm doing better but still getting gunned down against the Salthi. 1 Salthi is cannon fodder; 8 at once with more regenerating and a Gratha or two to boot is kicking my butt.
