  1. ah yes, the Okinawa updated map
  2. are they just still reeling from Force Commander? No excuse! I mean Full Throttle was awesome, what happened? I know, dont go down that road...look at all the game companies that are gone...kind of like the American aerospace industry...wait a minute!
  3. "Solo shot first"...it could be black/white camcorder edition and I would giggle like a schoolgirl watching it everytime...
  4. and then Boba Fett showing up...
  5. I think you are right in that it was DF2:JK, then it kind of switched to being the JK series as opposed to DF-series... ah well that clears it up, thought I was missing something what about that new Force Unleashed? Isnt it scheduled to be console only?
  6. Ah, if they didnt have Peter Cullen, it would have been ugly, period. I mean life goes on without Frank Wheeler, but Cullen is Optimus. Yeah, I was thinking the whole English accent thing was a toss to Lucas and his preference for English accents, maybe it is like supposed to make us think its art or high theatre...I mean as much as giant robots from outer space can be threatre... But again, let me emphasize that I like Megan Fox's character...she was believable and took the role so well...not the typical hollywood I am woman, but rather the true hero...that scene where she takes Bumblebee off in a wrecker (that she hot wired) was so cool...no whining, just business...reminded me of the Dust Off pilots in Viet Nam, heroes every one Good point about '86 being marketing not story telling...obviously the Japanese were not in charge of the movie...man what if they had and it was more of a funky anime storyline instead...actually sounds cool
  7. Ugh...that made no sense to me at all...kill your Aunt and become a Sith Lord...and their explanation of Ben's Love was...well...creepy...not buying that either...weak. And I am about tired of Alema Rar...seriously...she should teach Luke since she is indestructible... One thing that I do not like about the series is that the story only supports 3 books...and they are literally squeezing nine books out of it...I mean Exile was what, Ben goes to a weird planet and steals a Sith ship...Zahn could have done that in a paragraph and had you wanting more... Personally enjoying the Boba Fett as statesman / leader / family man even though I initially thought the idea repugnant ...kudos to Travis for making it interesting Finishing Fury next, then off to "professional reading" like Pack Six and stuff like that...those usually either make me pine for a real air war or depressed from the jacked up politics...hey, I dont want a real air war, trust me, just you know...
  8. winrar can work for 7-zip files as well
  9. - "As for size, the B-1B is actually larger than a B-52, it just doesn't look it. The B-2 is far shorter, but its wingspan is still greater than the KC-135s that refuel it." I thought I had read that, and wasnt the B-1A larger still? Seems like the B-1B can lift more than a C-5B as well...
  10. Starstreak is cool, but an SA-20 is not to be taken lightly
  11. I had some F-14 game (dont remember the name) for my Atari 7800...which was amazing over the 2600...you could not even pitch about 45 degrees, but at least it had a cockpit unlike River Raid...and jump jet was the first game I ever played on a PC...dont remember who made it You still have Tornado? I think I have Eurofighter someone like in a safe deposit box in a mini-humidor Not a flight sim, but cant go without mentioning Duke Nukem...you know 1,2, and 3...and please dont spoil it by mentioning Duke Nukem Never

    On This Day

    Man...besides what, getting gnawed to death by a rabid badger? Nope, they were fully conscious and fighting to get out...read any of the accounts about the corrections that came out of that tragedy and some of the changes were shocking as in "how did the program ever consider that?" and some of the work was unfortunately rushed due to the nature of the Space Race, something that so few people remember was far more than national pride at stake. But their sacrifice directly contributed to changes that are still in place today and no doubt have kept other brave volunteers alive
  13. couple of points: standard practice for 60 years in the fighter community is, eyes on bad guys, dump the bags, go get them... second, yes the Fishbed was designed as a point defense fighter; ie, range was not much of a consideration because the Doctrine was all about defense therefore no need to range very far if its over your ballpark personally, if I am about to mix it up with a flight of Crusaders I wait until the turning is about to begin, then ditch the bag and fang's out...watch the AI...that is what they do in the game also but I like the way that you are thinking, it gets more immersing that way, I caution you though as this game will disappoint you if you go too far down that path...as much as I ENJOY it, this is a game, not a simulation
  14. Ah...Rainbow 6...another thanks for infusing us with cash so we could get started now screw you series...
  15. That would substantially increase your contact with the worse of the lot...think about what must get filtered! I shudder...and are Americans really devolving this rapidly? Ouch!
  16. You can look at the Check Six website also
  17. Not certain by what you mean in that it does not have the information...as far as I have seen, files with dedicated cockpits announce same...it may require you to read...
  18. Far Cry is one of my favorite titles, any genre, period...really hoping this will be at least as good / better !
  19. No dude...every one knows that KFC puts "additives" in their "secret recipe"...it is quite well documented that they want to rule the world...I can send you proof...
  20. I have to agree that the series went pathetic after the movie release...especially Galvatron...I liked him in the movie, when he waxed Starscream (finally...and Leonard Nimoy's voice), but the writing was along the lines of Dora the Explorer. Then when they brought Optimus back in like the last season...lame...and the episode with the vampire-monster thing and changing them into zombies...how can a robot be a zombie? And count me in the "I hate Wheelie" club as well...what were they thinking. The Junkicons and Quinticons were cool, but not in the series... And Rodimus was no replacement for prime It was like after the movie an entirely different company was in charge...but then so much of that happened to GI Joe as well, but that is a different discussion entirely. I was very happy with T 2k7 in that they went in their own direction, didnt try to follow the old storylines (except giant space robots fight, crash on earth, fight) And it had Megan Fox... And it had Megan Fox And it...just kidding...it was way better than I thought it would be though, especially after the hatchet-job that was done on Spider Man...and the Hulk
  21. Hmmm...sounds interesting... :ph34r:
  22. hey, so anyone besides me remember the Transformers 1986 movie and care to compare / contrast it with the Transformers 2007 version?
  23. Reminds me of Ghost Recon...started on PC, then dumped us for consoles...
  24. just finished it...any one else read it yet? I mean, given the dearth of new SW games we might as well read...or go outside...nah...
  25. thanks! see, glasnost works! you know...I have just seen this discussion a few times before, and it has,in the past, not gone well...maybe this time will be different...
