I don't really give a shit about most Wing Commander games, but you should all make sure that you own the Privateer games since they are on sale. They were so good...
man, WIng Commander 1, 2, and 4 are boss as hell
Was wing commander 4 the one where you could lose the whole game by way of full motion video choose-your-own-adventure at the end?
that was bullshit.
Yeah and then you just reloaded your save, no biggie. The whole last mission was one fight against one dude and then the big FMV sequence. And it was rad! You were Mark Hamill walking into Space Court going NO! IT WAS HIM ALL ALONG! AND I BROUGHT PROOF! and everyone's all GASP!
I had like fifty boners
I got shot for treason!
It was like they shot all my boners.
I just learned that Gygax used the 4d6 drop the lowest as a house rule. Excuse me, I need to go slap the shit out of some grogs.
that is awesome
everything Old Geezer has ever said about Gygax and Arneson makes them sound about 1000% less grognardy than the dudes who worship them and constantly WELL GARY WOULD HAVE BLAH BLAH BLAH
Pretty much.
The thing that few people realize is that "the way" people played old-school D&D varies wildly from any of the surviving texts. It seems pretty much a universal sentiment by the non-grognard community, that AD&D, as played by the book, was not particularly fun.
Ron Edwards has a great essay explaining what the early days of the hobby looked like. Happy ti link if you're interested in digging further.
i really hope that movie ends with, the star just having won the debate against the evil prof, him coming back to his girlfriend's dorm room to tell her he couldn't have done it without her
and she's just getting fucking plowed doggystyle by that bigshot tycoon guy and/or the black dude in the band
- Sorbo's angry militant atheist became what way after his mother died, and he dies in a car wreck at the end, but not before repenting.
- Evangelical kid converts half his class.
- I puke.
...did they finally make a movie out of that dumb internet story of the kid proving the existence of god to his professor?

From what I've read from Gygax's comments it seems like he found the whole Cult of RAW/People who us Gygaxian without irony to be kinda weird and just not getting it.
