    Identification of Confed's Bar Food (March 27, 2024)

    It's time once again for... SNACKS OF THE TERRAN CONFEDERATION! The famed TCS Victory's rec room always has popcorn on the tables... The Grey Ghost, TCS Lexington, has little bowls of peanuts all around the lounge. ... and finally the megacarrier Midway has a megasnack: big cheeze...

    LOAF's Incredible New Multidisciplinary Wing Commander Thread!

    I realized I could do this all as one sheet and I added the known movie, WC1, WC2 and Privateer rank insignias. Pretty comprehensive, I think! And here are the briefly-seen and slightly-identified Wing Commander movie enlisted insignias:

    LOAF's Incredible New Multidisciplinary Wing Commander Thread!

    Oh and here's a silly little one, I turned the lists of favorite movies from the 1991 Point of Origin into Letterboxd lists. Can you enjoy the same animated movies as Denis Loubet?! Lord British’s Favorite Fantasy/Science Fiction Films https://boxd.it/uhpFS Chris Roberts’ Favorite...

    LOAF's Incredible New Multidisciplinary Wing Commander Thread!

    Howdy folks, Still at it with ranks. I decided to try and do a chart of the Wing Commander III, IV and Prophecy ranks sourced as closely as possible and I very quickly figured out that the three games aren't really compatible at all. The rank visuals change between each one. I put together...

    LOAF's Incredible New Multidisciplinary Wing Commander Thread!

    For a few years I've been sharing random Wing Commander deep dives on Twitter. There's nothing I love more than taking some specific question or subject that maybe no one cares about and then looking at it as thoroughly as I can… and Twitter has always fit like a glove for that because it lets...

    Wing Commander 3 Ports Side-By-Side (March 22, 2024)

    I'm comparing the UI in different Wing Commander III ports! Here's the callsign selection screen on the PC, 3DO, PlayStation and Macintosh. "Maverick" is my entry except on the PSX version which plugs in BLAIR automagically! Here's the Victory's main menu on the PC, 3DO and PSX. The...

    Get the Heck Out of Dodger (March 21, 2024)

    AD reminded me that Blair's callsign is DODGER in Kevin Droney's first draft script for the Wing Commander movie. I... don't hate it? The scene where they all explain their callsigns is fun, too: -- Original update published on March 21, 2024

    Learning About the Bray Twins’ Real Life Counterparts (March 18, 2024)

    Thanks for the background, friends. Of course, I was curious for Wing Commander-related reasons. Specifically, I was fascinated to see the names of the Kray twins because... of Privateer 2's Bray twins: Reggie Bray is the guy who is selling Uncle Kashumai's religious artifact. For that...

    Learning More About the Privateer 2 Factions (March 7, 2024)

    Thinking about the Privateer 2 pirate factions today. Do their VDU images match the lore? I think so! Chirichan - cyborgs Jincilla - hackers & small time criminals Kiowan - new age hippies Papogod - mutants The official guide has two that aren’t in the final game, too: an evil Crow T...

    Wing Commander at 25 (March 12, 2024)

    That's kind of you to say! It's nothing like that, just the same things I think we're probably all going through to some extent (sick parents, fears for the future, trying to figure out the unknowable nature of the universe, all the usual stuff!) (I left Star Citizen back in 2022! It was a...
