    Yeah, like others have mentioned, I was just out with a friend who was a year or two older and hit the minimum age. They asked if I was underage, and my friend just said, "Yeah, but he's my brother, so it's fine." And the cashier just shrugged and sold us the tickets.

    Bengal Class Given the Late Kilrathi War Treatment (December 29, 2024)

    Alan Baker has been working with the Tiger's Claw, and the results have been interesting! He's attempting to make the Claw fit in with the visual style of WC3/4. I love the colorful tones and textures of WC1/2, but this kind of works. I especially like those WC3/4 era turrets. He's also...

    Wing Commander Arena End of Life FAQ (June 24, 2024)

    There's a lot of context to that though. A lack of broad traditional marketing campaign matched its otherwise tiny budget. With that being said, Sean Penney and the team did numerous interviews and ad hoc promotion all over the place. And this was the big precursor to the "Summer of...

    Avoid the 'Roids (December 5, 2024)

    Check out this gorgeous render created by Alan Baker. It depicts two Hornet fighters tangling with a pair of Dralthi in an asteroid field. One of the Kilrathi fighters is deftly maneuvered right into the rocks, which results in quite an explosion. The setup reminds me of the Kilrathi Saga...
