Fatman's Award Video Appears Online

BrynS found a cool video from last year's Game Developers Choice Awards. As we reported in February, George The Fatman Sanger won the "Community Contribution Award." Now you can see the award ceremony for yourself here - complete with awesome Wing One music. Click "Community Contribution" for The Fatman's part. He tells a funny story, and if you let it continue onto the next clip, Richard Garriott comes out to give the Lifetime Achievement award away. Mr. Sanger is also wearing a creative jacket covered with the products he's composed for. Hit the Discuss link and let everyone know if you think you can find where Wing Commander is.

The Art of Wing Commander Arena - Part Fifty-Five

This space station shows up in a lot of early concept art but was ultimately replaced with the Perry-style base seen in the game's intro. It survived well into a working build of the game, though - when Chris and I first saw Arena the original station was in place.

This is part of a series of beautiful Wing Commander Arena concept images graciously provided by Gaia Industries. You can find the original article here. You can thank the guys at Gaia by picking up Street Trace NYC on Xbox Live Arcade!
