OMG HE HAS an iPad? Haha ... :D :D :D

that's Malcolm McDowell. He's been in a lot of things.

It's like George Lucas, Peter Jackson, and Stanley Kubrick joined forces.

Between WCIII and IV, these are still the best examples of FMV use in games. Quality acting from quality actors.

[skepticalsinner]

amazing cast, and for it's day - the first real successful attempt to integrate Real Actors into a video game. I <3 this so much when it came out. Looks soooo dated 17 odd years later, but as they said - boyyyy does it bring back some memories.

[Defenstrator]

Man, this brings back memories. When we first saw this it blew us away.

One person was assigned to Caernarvon station from WC2

In that case we have a huge albatross on the flight deck: what happened to all of Blair's medals and commendations? Did they get blown up? Where they stolen by oddly specific Kilrathi infiltration units? Does the Confederation make their medals out of bread and fruit, so they just rotted away? This is a big mystery!

It should be the plot of one of the novels: "Wing Commander: The Search for My Goddamn Medal".

[aavallone]

@graph180 Maybe, but that's not what happens in the game so it's irrelevant.

@aavallone

I don't know...if a guy is dick enough to demote you and to send you to backwaters, stripping you of your medals doesn't seem that far below him. Tolwyn is just such an ass that it makes one wonder why the Confed didn't build a ship that ran on douchebaginess and install him as the the power core.

[aavallone]

@graph180 If you played the first two WC games you'd see how Blair made it to Colonel again and won tons of decorations. It doesn't make sense for him to have so little on his uniform - when Tolwyn demoted him he didn't strip him of any awards, just his rank.

@aavallone

Yeah, but when your supreme commander hates your guts more than he hates the aliens trying to wipe out humanity and will strip you of everything on a whim, it's a surprise that Blair even made it to Colonel.
