Happy Labor Day

A good number of you have the day off today and/or are getting ready to go back to school. If you've already started classes, that just sucks. But for the computer geeks in all of us, at least CompUSA, Circut City and the rest have generous Labor Day Sales this weekend. I have some unexpected stuff to attend to today, but trivia will be updated tonight. You have till then to get your answers in.

Hobbes Funeral Audio Available

Agora has recorded an mp3 for us of the "missing" Hobbes Funeral cutscene from Wing Commander 3. You might be thinking such a scene does not exist because Hobbes is slated to defect and is virtually invulnerable before that point. However disecting the game reveals there is such a clip. And it is actually accessable through the course of the game. If you lose quickly and often in the very beginning of WC3, you'll be sent to the Proxima/Sol series in short order. Everyone is vulnerable there, and if you lose fast enough, Hobbes will have yet to defect. If he dies there the funeral clip is available. Agora made an mp3 of the scene and we have it available here if you'd like a listen right now.
