Many of our longtime readers will recall that today is the actual anniversary of our site's grand opening - wahoo! We first went fully live at wcnews.com on August 10, 1998 in the lead up to the Secret Ops launch. Our annual birthday parties were traditionally held on this date for many years, but we've recently shifted towards a Saturday evening time to better fit more people's schedules. We're looking forward to seeing you this Saturday, but thanks for dropping in today as well!

And Happy (belated) Birthday from me as well. I'll take the cake but pass on the heart-eating bit...
 
Need a classic Wing Commander drink to celebrate? Recently re-discovered the page to the old Acenet Lounge through archive.org

Try one of these earthbound equivalents at the party. You can also try some non-alcoholic Finest if you prefer (or are underage.)

"The Aces Club has produced our own versions with the "Earth Equivilant" of the drinks in the Wing Commander games. Be warned though......some of these drinks have been tested before hand and some haven't.
