Country:  | Good on ya Heinzy! have a ball.
What cheered me up today? Wayne's replies to my questions regarding his Fw 190 model - I was afraid he would take them as personal criticisms, when really I only asked for my own information (I am a huge 190 fan!). It ended up as a bit of a mystery, but I think we both learnt something, especially me. It's great to be a part of this forum, you're a great bunch of guys and gals! | |

Country:  | Hah ! We learn new things everyday !
The following didn't really cheer me up, but it made me laugh...
While surfing on Wing Commander CIC (a website dedicated to the Wing Commander saga), I read that the girl that was playing Chief Petty Officer Rachel Coriolis in Wing Commander III and Wing Commander Prophecy was Ginger Lynn... a porn actress! Ginger Lynn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The funniest part is that Chris Roberts (the game's creator) didn't know about it back in the day and it is one of his employees (named Paul Steed) that informed him about that.
From Wing Commander CIC : Quote:
Gamasutra has posted an article about artist Paul Steed's recent Game Developers Conference lecture. Mr. Steed got his start in the game industry working on Privateer and Wing Commander III and went on to greater fame as an artist on various high profile FPS games. His speech included an interesting (and slightly unbelievable) anecdote about Chris Roberts:
“I was at Origin for four years. I’ll tell you a funny story about developing Wing Commander III. Does everyone know who Ginger Lynn is? Well, she was a porn star. Chris Roberts had no idea, and didn’t believe me when I told him. This guy, my boss, didn’t know it. So I took him to the video store and we watched some stuff. He gained a new respect for people in the adult entertainment industry!”

Country:  | My symptoms of RSI are gradually fading. Luckily it wasn't as bad as the last time. I can play the guitar again! And soon I can stop using this speech recognition.
