Yeah, it's still unannounced and we unsure as to exactly what type of game it'll be, but A Talent For War's latest poll asks "Which upcoming multiplayer-only space-sim are you looking most forward to?" I didn't know there were so many in the works. Privateer Online is among the choices, and even if the final product doesn't exactly fit the question criteria in the end, this will definitely be a fun poll. You can vote here.
Hopefully that's a correct salutation for this holiday.. or at least not an offensive one. This is the first weekend of the lunar new year. It is also the beginning of the Year of the Dragon.. probably the luckiest year on the lunar zodiac. It's a great year to have children.. or launch new products. Thanks to Celina.
While everyone was trying to do their fancy "Games of the Millennium" Polls, A Talent For War conducted a "Games of the Decade" Poll. If you think about it, that's far more appropriate in a way. The results are now in, and Wing Commander took a number of slots, including number one. Wing Commander games got about half of the votes overall. You can find the full results here in the middle of February 4 news.
The WC series truly dominated the voting, showing they have either the strongest community or that the 90s truly did belong to the Wing Commander series..--Beth

Alvin Ljoså did a bit of research in Denmark and informed us that local Blockbuster Videos and the Blockbuster monthly magazine both say that the Wing Commander movie on video should appear in stores on March 22. They have yet to confirm if there will be a DVD release in the country.
AtomM56 kindly let us know that next Friday, February 11, the premium cable television channel HBO should be showing Wing Commander. They have a neato advertisement showing currently to let people know about it. I don't see it on the HBO scheduler, so if anyone else has more info be sure to let us know.
We've pumped more than a gig of data through the new server since we began switching over early this week (no small feat considering blacklance.org and wcspacecommand.com carry the bulk of our files:) and things appear to be nice and sharp on the new system. If people notice any oddities that may be related to us being on a new server, now's the time that we can slowly begin picking at smaller problems. We are already aware of a difficultly downloading music.
This isn't priority news of any sort, but Wildfire- noticed that for a third day in a row a routine news update at AVault makes passing references to Wing Commander. What will we find today? You can find their heads-up on Echelon here.
Belinda Keel is there to offer comfort. Zak Skintight, lead singer of rock funsters The Buttock Men, was in hospital on Janus IV last night, suffering from blood poisoning. It seems that Zak, giddy on Sunflowers, managed to fall into the pen of the ferocious Hadeian Devil Yak at the Janus IV Zoo. Five metres high at the shoulder, black as midnight and covered in highly poisonous bristles, eight of these fearsome beasts savaged Zak for a good twenty minutes before the star made his escape. Hundreds of fans assaulted the Yaks in revenge, only to suffer the same fate as their idol. Blood is urgently required, although Zak appears stable (for once, eh?). How do you feel, Zak? 'It wasn't much of a larf, mate'.
