Totally with you on that. I put so many hours into Final Fantasy II (IV) and Final Fantasy III (VI) on my SNES in Jr. High/High School that when I finally got around to playing Final Fantasy VII in 2010 on the PSN (after hearing how amazing it was for a good 15 years) all I kept thinking was how much better those two…

Which episode is that from - I can't place it. Or, if you were channeling Dr. Funke (the world's first analyst/therapist), bravo on a perfectly Funke-esque mouthful of double-entendere.

I never played Freelancer (I go way back to the WC II and Privateer days and missed the stuff in the middle) but I would suggest reading these two articles. If you're like me you will probably be very, very excited afterward.

I just watch this video over and over again and then I give them more money:

Here's a quote from an interview posted over at Joystiq where he touches on the financial questions:

You should try out your new joystick on Wing Commander Saga, the excellent, professional, lengthy, and FREE fan-made companion game to Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger (by Chris Roberts, who is making Star Citizen). It is an amazing game that released this time last year and gave me something to do with the new…

They explained that the fans are actually "hydrogen scoops" for refueling in space by dropping into the atmosphere of gas giants to harvest hydrogen for your engines...or something like that. I'm not sure how the science (or science fiction) of it all works but they clarified the design on an episode of Wingman's…

They only did a small amount of their funding through PayPal. The vast majority of it is through their own website. He initially avoided Kickstarter all together and just launched his own crowdfunding website (to cut out the middleman) but the response was so overwhelming that it kept crashing the site. He then…

Fallout 3 is one of my favorite all-time games, but I can get where you're coming from. The gameplay takes some serious getting used to and I would highly recommend modding it if you have a PC. The Fallout Wanderer's Edition mod from the Fallout 3 Nexus does wonders to overhaul the gameplay/combat of the game and…

I would love to upgrade eventually from my Radeon HD 5770 but I tried an HD 6870 last year and it was SO LOUD I sent it back (the performance bump didn't justify the noise)! Even under load the only detectable noise I get from my desktop with my 5770 (even when crossfired) is from my case fans and that's the way I…

It was probably the eerie, minimalist music, but boarding the disabled Collector vessel was my most memorable moment in the Mass Effect series (though climbing the Citadel tower with Sovereign's tentacles flailing menacingly above is right up there). Something about it felt very...threatening. Again, probably the…

That screenshot made my day. "I'M BAD!"

I probably wouldn't have noticed this if I hadn't just played WC 3 and WC 4 in the last couple of months, but I do believe that's the bar on the Lexington in WC 4. The bar on the Victory in WC 3 has a big open window on the left hand side rather than at the back, and the locker room on the right (where here the hall…

Wow, thanks for your comment! I'm so glad the article meant something special to you. I knew the flame war was coming but wanted to put this out there anyway because I knew that for every 10 haters there would be a few people like you. I grew up spending every 4th of July and Thanksgiving in Southern Utah as that's…

Interesting comment. I will have to reflect on it. Thank you for posting.

I don't know where you get this "Christ as prophet" stuff about Mormons. That sounds more like my understanding of 1) Muslims or 2) Jehovah's Witnesses (though I could be misunderstanding the latter's unique view of Jesus). Let me quote The Book of Mormon to see if it clears this up for you (which I suspect it…

Haha, my dad actually called me "Scooter" as a kid, and my older brother still does as a goof. My wife thinks its so funny/embarrassing whenever she hears it she dies laughing.

Author here: If that was a real game (I couldn't find anything in a quick Google search) I would totally play it. And I don't even like skating games. I just hope that they would get the period attire correct. In fact, any skating game with 1840s-era clothing options would be sweet. Thanks for your comment.
