Good Old CIC Crunch Time

There are just a few more short days before we turn two years old, so it's time to recap and mention a few specifics. On Thursday evening at 4:00 pm PDT/7:00 pm EDT/11:00 pm GMT we'll start getting together in #Wingnut. We'll be counting down for an hour until midnight the morning of August 11 GMT, which will mark the two year anniversary of our original opening. When coordinating any event of this sort it's easy for there to be confusion between time zones and event happenings. I encourage people to test our their mirc and confirm times with us in #Wingnut any time this week.

Not surprisingly, we're still working on specifics, but in the queue are a few downloads, numerous section refreshes and a number of new features. We will also be giving away door prizes during the party. There might be a few early on, but primarily they'll center around and after the actual opening time (5:00 PDT/8:00 EDT/midnight GMT). They'll likely include CIC magnets, promotional WC movie postcards and Wing Commander action figures, as well a few higher grade items like software, books and shirt(s). We like random drawings, but there's a possibility of some brief simple contests for items. We hope you join us not only to see what we have, but to get together with other Wing Commander fanatics, make new friends and meet up with old friends you may not have seen in a while. See you Thursday!

How To Make The Best Mod

With the summer resurgence of Wing Commander fan projects, we thought that Something Awful's Guide to Mods would make a good read. If you're working on or considering a fan project, or even if you're not, this might be the thing for you. Not that any of it applies to any Wing Commander fans.. You can find the guide here. Yeah, the focus on FPS games, but funny is funny.
