CIC Fifth Birthday - One Month To Go! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

We're excited to announce that there is exactly one month until the CIC's Fifth Birthday. We're already scrambling to get everything ready in time. This will be our biggest event yet, and we hope you can join us. Here's the most important details.

Mark your calendars for either Sunday, August 10, 2003 or Monday, August 11, 2003 depending on your time zone. At around 7:00 pm US Eastern (4:00 pm US Pacific, 11:00 pm GMT or 7:00 to 9:00 am Australian) we will all be formally getting together online at our new IRC server (irc.wcnews.com) in #Wingnut. Some people have been confusing the Birthday Party for our annual trip down to Atlanta. These are two separate events. Coming to the party has never been easier! Simply download mirc or click on our Java Client here. After the party start time, we will be putting the finishing touches on special CIC projects and giving away cool prizes. At 8:00 pm US Eastern (5:00 pm US Pacific, midnight GMT or 8:00 to 10:00 am Australian) we will count down the last few seconds to our official Fifth Birthday and unveil our special projects. This should be our most exciting party to date, and I hope many of you can join us.

So that's it! Please stop by #Wingnut prior to the party so that you can get familiar with the program and check your time zones with us. We'll be posting more details over the next four weeks. We've already mentioned that prizes for the night will include several Game Boy Advances and copies of Prophecy Advance. Hope to see you there!

Wing Commander Wins Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Last week we reported on GameStar's latest poll. Here are the results. The question asks which EA franchise should be revived.
Ergebnis der letzten Umfrage : Welche Spiele-Serie sollte Electronic Arts wiederbeleben?
Wing Commander 35 %
Dungeon Keeper 34 %
Ultima 20 %
Lands of Lore 7%
Bard's Tale 4%
I'd have thought Ultima would have ranked higher actually. The German GameStar magazine has a long history of being at the forefront of Wing Commander news. Back in October 1998 their cover disc carried Secret Ops, in December 1998 they covered the transition of Privateer 3 into Privateer Online, and in December 1999 they rated Wing Commander as the fourth most important PC series of the decade.
