Deep dish or Pan. Light cheese, Light sauce, Lots of pepperoni. the ideal is to basically have some sauce-sprinkled cheesy bread with pepperoni on top.

You monster. The goal of pizza is to deliver as much cheese and meat as possible to your gaping maw.

A pizza that isn't Hawaiian a shameful pizza

Catching up with the thread, but I just wanted to say, one of my local pizza shops makes a Bacon, Banana, and Chilli (flakes) Pizza.

Which is loving amazing to eat.

I've just noticed they also do a Kangaroo Pizza (Kangaroo fillet marinated in Australian wild spices), so I think I'll give that a shot next time.

The best part is that Wing Commander II, III and IV, the games that everyone points to as Roberts' achievements as a storyteller, weren't even written by him.

No, III was. You mean II, IV, and Privateer.

III was also the shittiest Wing Commander. It had fancy new tech, but it's story sucked and it did some dumb things. The worst, in fact, was specific to Hobbes. Wing Commander II's writers took a long time building Hobbes up into a complex and interesting character.

Chris Roberts hated that.

Thus the reason Hobbes goes "Haha, surprise traitor! gently caress all Kilrathi!" and screws you over mid-game; Roberts wanted to retcon and write out everything that happened in WC2.

He had very little to do with WC4 and nothing to do with Prophecy (which was both a fun game and terrible Wing Commander).

ED: Also Erin Roberts is pretty much a hack. Chris Roberts has a lot of good ideas, but Erin does not, and he tends to hurt anything he gets his hands on. Privateer 2 was his abomination. Most disappointing pre-order I've ever made.*

* The FMV wasn't bad for a surrealist sci-fi show on the BBC. Too bad that's not Privateer.

It's the sort of thing you see in a box in a basement just out of the corner of your eye while your brain is in overdrive searching for a way out of the immediate realisation that there is a rabbit-man advancing up the stairs toward you with a nerf crossbow.

Ask innocently on the forums whether in order to make SC as good as his legacy games CR has hired *insert names of the actual WC scriptwriters here* to assist with the scripting, and see how long the thread lasts.

Merry Christmas all. I got a $25 dollar gift card and I'm thinking about picking up a game or two (or maybe even 3) in the Steam Sale. Nothing early access though and no pre-orders. I think that stuff is kind of silly.

Merry Christmas. If you like space games, maybe take a look at Rebel Galaxy on Steam. Not a huge game, but it's pretty good, and it's an actual game :)

This is almost entirely random. That is, you can play something, but is it a game? We do not know.

Honest Answer: You can run some missions but most likely you'll just crash or experience massive lag.

quote:

As development for Wing Commander came to a close, the EMM386 memory manager the game used would give an exception when the user exited the game. It would print out a message similar to "EMM386 Memory manager error..." with additional information. The team could not isolate and fix the error and they needed to ship it as soon as possible. As a work-around, one of the game's programmers, Ken Demarest III, hex-edited the memory manager so it displayed a different message. Instead of the error message, it printed "Thank you for playing Wing Commander."
