Look For A Way Out
Kevin Caccamo is working on a Wing Commander themed cubic panorama. Ken Silverman gives this description of a cubic panorama:
Imagine taking a snapshot of everything around you and then projecting the mosaic of images onto the inside faces of a cube. Then put yourself in the center of this cube. You could look around in any direction, and as long as you didn't change your position, you would never know that you were inside a cube. It's like you're in an advanced 3D engine - just without the ability to move.
Kevin on his project: "From the Wing Commander community, we have seen movies, games, mods, images, animations, and missions. This project is the first ever Wing Commander themed Cubic Panorama. That means you will get to look around the image with 360 degrees of freedom! It is going to depict the WC3 era, showing a massive fleet of Kilrathi dreadnoughts on one side and another massive fleet of Confed battleships on another side."
- Save the large PNG file to your hard drive.

Happy 4th!
Happy 4th of July to our American visitors out there today. Independence Day is a time for fireworks in the US, but anyone with an Xbox can get in on the action with EA's Boom Boom Rocket. Send a few friend requests to fellow Wingnuts and compare your scores on the leaderboards. BBR is a single player game, but all Arcade games have online leaderboards for offline modes. Arena pilots practicing solo will still be able to see how they rank globally.
