Lev Arris Loves You

Major Striker has a Privateer 2 video for everyone today. P2 seems to be a game that a lot of Wing Commander fans might not have played in a while, so hopefully these scenes jog some memories. Can you remember each of the locations pictured in the video? Occasionally I run across people who don't even know the main character was played by Clive Owen. You can download the 12 meg clip here. It should be an Indeo 5.10 movie.

I know some people don't like the game, but to me it was a personal favorite... I loved the eerie weird vibe to it.

Report From UO Town Hall In DC

Ultima Online Community Representative Wilki has put together a report on the UO Town Hall conducted last week in Washington DC. The turnout was pretty high, and the neat display of Origin Museum merchandise put on by Joe and LOAF was especially popular. Here's some pictures from the event.

Joe Garrity, Curator of the Origin Museum, was done setting up his fantastic display of Origin related artifacts. No, not the kind you can steal from Doom, but the real kind. Included were a GM Robe complete with "I cannot help thee with that..." sign, Iolo's crossbow - crafted by David "Iolo" Watson himself, a reagent display, some original Ultima boxes still in mint condition, and many, many other wonderful displays. As a long time Ultima and Origin fan, I was very excited to meet Joe a bit later in the evening and have the chance to check out what he had brought with him.
