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 :

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!"

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.

Played the tele this morning, quite fun after 2 moths of not playing. Have to be careful not to overdo it though, so no quick solo's at the time.

Heinz · Mar 5, 2008

hey neither am I. Actually been a bit slack on practising lately. Just feeling a bit sluggish i guess. Seen a teaching job at a music school, Im considering applying.

Marcel · Mar 5, 2008

I'm always playing (when my arms don't hurt) even while being on this forum I usually sit with my LP or tele on my lap, usually unplugged, playing some licks now and then. Yep, I'm a real addict and the last few weeks were really difficult
Too bad we can't play together sometime, would be cool. My amp is loud, but I doubt the sound will reach Australia
Is it practical teaching what you're gonna do or theory as well?

Heinz · Mar 5, 2008

Im guessing both. Iv been doing and writing a lot of theory based stuff most recently so I guess Im up for it.

Hey man I'd love to jam maybe thru a telephone

Screaming Eagle · Mar 6, 2008

found out I only have to work a half day tomorrow

So I had to go to a school today and talk to 2nd graders about what I do and Animal Control and how to be good pet owners. The school happened to be the same school I went to - in fact I was in the first class when it opened in 1967. So I tell them this and they tell me they are looking for pics of the school from back then (which I have) and that they are gonna celebrate 40 years of the school in June. The principal then asks me if I would like to be there and be kinda of a guest speaker to talk about my impressions when the school opened and such. I think its pretty cool! Maybe just a little ego boosting!

Heinz · Mar 6, 2008

thats pretty awesome Njaco!
