Jibbo dropped me a line to let me know that the CIC T-shirts should arrive (and hence be distributed to everyone who's ordered one) on Tuesday! There are still a few available, so if you want one contact him soon!

Back in Belgium Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Dude mailed a major theater group in Belgium regarding the cancellation of Wing Commander... and according to them, the film has been reset for a September 15th release date! Maybe it'll come to England then too! This isn't certain yet, but it looks good...

Steve Russell reports that US Airways is showing Wing Commander in July during flights from the US to England. Wouldn't that be the coolest way to see the movie? And isn't it great that the movie is being inflicted on others? According to the airline's movie page five minutes of the film have been edited out. Anybody found out what was removed?

Dan Egger of PCXL posted this note to agwc about the mixup in the latest issue which incorrectly called Freelancer 'Wing Commander: Freelancer'...
Oops,
I wrote the piece for PCXL and I think that I inappropriately gave it the Wing Commander title.

BTW I saw the game in action twice, and hands-down it is the best looking game I have ever seen. The in-game were as pretty as most CG that you see today. And the ships were beyond anything I imagined possible. When I do play the game, I will probably spend most of my time just looking around out the scenery..it's magnificent.

Whether or not it still looks so groundbreaking when it hits stores two years from now is a question we will have to wait to answer.

Thanks, Death Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Our man Death was kind enough to go harass Baen for us at DragonCon last week... Wing Commander seems to be about as dead as before, but thanks for using your time to help everybody out, Death!

A bunch of people have noticed things in the Wing Commander Movie... some of 'em have been said before, but here's what's been discovered for those who are newly familiar with the film. Thanks to Rob Morton, Minh Doan and Boss for pointing these out! If you've found something else, let me know!

Chris Roberts' Cameo: In Chapter 25 a Concordia pilot in a Broadsword rescues Blair after he runs out of fuel. The pilot is none other than director Chris Roberts, who's had cameos in Wing III and IV as well.

Tolwyn Misspelling: During Tolwyn's briefing for Sansky his name flashes by the screen spelled 'Towlyn'. Furthermore, the closed captioning spells it the same way... although the DVD captions spell it correctly, as do the closing credits. This is very remeniscent of the first several episodes of Wing Commander Academy -- which spelled Tolwyn's name several different ways! Tallwood, for example.

The PAD: When the camera goes from outside Pegasus Station into the Pegasus Station CIC, it passes a computer that locks onto something. The locking sound is the sound made by the PAD in Privateer 2: The Darkening.
