Last update today, I promise... dash, I'm tired! Anyway, Smily was kind enough to stay up after hours to translate that German PC Games article for us! Check it out here.
Wow, it's both graphics AND German magazine day here at the CIC... what's next? ANOTHER cool ship by HCl. Recent survey's show that this fighter is the most popular Wing Commander ship... check out the Dragon in the vision engine.
Wing Commander fan Magno sent me this bit of fan art he created the other day... I'm usually not much of a fan of fan art (that didn't sound right), but this is pretty dashed cool. I'm just sorry I didn't post it earlier...
The below screenshot is the PC Games article mentioned earlier today, which was very kindly provided by Johannes Schüring! On a personal note, I'd like to say that the fact that in only a few hours someone had already scanned the article for us really speaks volumes about how great the Wing Commander fan community is. You guys are the best! Now, if somebody could just translate it from German...
Well, it's the moment you've all been waiting for... the CIC's Ultimate Trivia Contest! Go hither to enter the contest and find out about it's incredible prizes... I'll let the site speak for itself. Jump! Jump now!
For those of you out there interested in cheating, the replacement for Prophecy's 'dynomite' in Secret Ops is 'shoehorn'. The puns just write themselves...
I swear, it IS German magazine week... whilst trying to find an URL for Gamestar for the below update I've learned that their current issue ALSO contains the Secret Ops starter. Go figure.
Just a quick note, the below image is NOT the Wing Commander Movie official poster! It apparently recently appeared in a German magazine called Gamestar (what is it with German magazines this week?) and on the uber-cool Dark Horizons movie site. If you'll check the CIC September Archive you'll find that we posted it then... it's a fairly cool bit of fan artwork. If you're from Gamestar, shame on you...
Dan over at Dan's Wing Commander Movie Site posted a note to let people know that the official movie site is coming soon, and that it'll have cool stuff like the trailer and new pictures. I for one, can't wait...
A request to any of our European readers -- the German version of PC Games is apparently running an article about the Wing Commander Movie. If any one out there could find the time to either scan the article or send us a translated copy, both the CIC and Wing Commander fans everywhere would be most greatfull.
Another German magazine, PC Games, is currently available with a copy of the Secret Ops starter kit on its CD. Grab a copy... if you're in Germany. The first American SO CD's should appear later this month.
I'm proud to announce that the campaign to get a Wing Commander music CD is back! Go support this particularly worthy cause here.
Well, Locke has released yet another cool patch... but can you think of a day of the week when that doesn't happen? The following two patches are updates to his Secret Ops Mission Simulator, for people who have complained about it replacing the killboard. This one changes the simulator so it replaces the 'exit' door, while this one replaces the strange easter egg. Choose wisely.
