To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Queeg has created some really great movies that are being hosted on WCNews.com. What Queeg did was take all the video from WC3 and WC4 and put in some gameplay to produce 2hr movie collections for both games. They are rather large in size but are great to watch and if you have never played the game before it might be a spoiler but for those who have it brings back memories....

Link for WC3 movie: http://download.wcnews.com/files/wing3/ ... _queeg.avi
Link for WC4 movie: http://download.wcnews.com/files/wing4/ ... _queeg.avi
They recommend to play it on the VLC Media Player... I would agree it is the best video player around and it is open source 🙂
hmmm...the WC4 link doesn't work. When I click on the link from within Firefox, it tries to play the video rather than download the actual file. When I click the link from within IE, it saves the file but it's only around 800 bytes (supposed to be 2.01g).
The WC3 link works though...
Holy crap...these are real actors. WTF! Where'd they get that kind of budget?? Isn't the fat guy the dwarf from LOTR?? Watching this is making me want to play the damn game... 😡
2hours never knew that filmed that much. 😮
Its great stuff and yes the fat guy is Gimli 🙂
Pinback might be your connection, i'm at work and started downloading 1 min ago and its at 90mb already so it should work. Do a save-as and if you have a download manager like orbit use it just incase you get disconnected.
Yeah Shant, it is an old game but the story-telling is what made WC games great in my opinion. At the time WC4 was the highest budget game of all time.
Checkout the WC4 actors in this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Comma ... of_Freedom
I think pinback was commenting on how long the video itself was, nearly 2 hours in length. I had the same reaction!
That WC4 link's no good though.
I downloaded the whole WC4 movie here at work without an issue, took about 35mins.
I have these sitting on my pc at home and used the same download link. Maybe i will see if I can find a way to convert these to .fla (flash) and upload them to Youtube.
2hrs of fun for both of these, love them.
