Anyone remember this? Released in 1992 for DOS, 3DO and OSX. It can be considered as predecessor to Mass Effect series. Huge game in terms of star systems, weapons, equipment, etc. I'd say perfect candidate for RGD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Control_II

Hi Ross, this has been probably asked before, but I couldn't find any solution so far.. How did you manage to emulate 3D graphics on virtual machine? VirtualBox doesn't support Guest Additions for DOS-based OS and generic "SciTech Display Doctor" doesn't support 3D Virtual PC 2007 also does not support 3D (that S3 card...) VMWARE...also no dice. I remember spending days trying to figure that out, and eventually gave up and purchased Win98 capable laptop, though I'd jump for virtual solution any time, since an extra machine takes up space and apart from Win98 environment is unusable. Also 2.5" IDE HDDs are pretty expensive nowadays. Thanks for any input..

Ross, do you think that after all you've been through, Machinima deserves the "Evil Company" sticker and thus join the club with EA? Just saying

I created new topic, because Ross has still many e-mails for reply: "Well I’m gradually catching up on email and at the moment only have about 100 to reply to. In light of this, I want to get some more feedback from viewers on a couple of different topics. If you’re registered on the forums, I prefer you just reply to this there, but if not, emailing me is also an option." Anyway, I might be wrong. Maybe there's better/cheaper mic, that I don't know about.

Hello Ross, about that microphone, I'd strongly recommend Samson Go Mic, which is studio-grade large-diaphragm yet relatively small USB microphone. You may check this link: http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Mic-Compact-USB-Microphone/dp/B001R76D42 . It can handle a lot of amplification and thanks to its cardioid pattern, it also doesn't pick up much background noise. Video formats I have also wondered about MPEG-2 used in DVD-Video standard. If it's encoded in 2-pass VBR, the quality is very good and it's also very compatible By the way: P - forward predicted frame B - bi-directionaly predicted frame I - intra-frame (sometimes called key frame) Only intra frames contain full image data, P and B contain movements of the image in specific regions. It's one way, how video compression works. Feel free to add your own opinions
