DragonCon Prices Rising & New Guests Announced Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

DragonCon membership prices will be rising this Friday, so order now if you want to get them for $60. Four day passes will be $85 at the door. New guests have also been announced this week. Claw Marks author Aaron Allston will once again be making an appearance. Margaret Weis and Bill Fawcett were added to the guest list earlier this year. Here's a picture we took with Mr. Allston last year after he autographed our stack of WC1 documentation.
Aaron Allston is the author of multiple novels including Terminator Dreams and Terminator Hunt; his next will be Legacy of the Force #1: Betrayal, the start of a nine-book Star Wars series. In addition, he has recently shot the low-budget horror movie Deadbacks.
He will also be at StellarCon in North Carolina in February 2006.

New Life For Viva La Resolution Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

PeteyG came across an interesting story involving The Fatman, the famous game soundtrack composer who pioneered the music for the original Wing Commanders. At one point there was talk about announcing the high definition XBox at this year's Game Developers Conference. The announcement eventually got cancelled, but Fat was originally responsibile for making music that would spice up the otherwise boring slideshow for the event. Viva La Resolution was the result.

I _really_ wanted this song to get heard, and if I sold it, there wasn't anybody at MS who was hot to use it, modified or not. But just in case, it had to be modified.. After much deliberation, and after listening over and over to the line, "Did we do it for the dollar bills? NO!!!" I decided to buy the song back and just cancel the contract.
Fatman's cool like that. His servers have been Slashdotted, so we've mirrored the 8 meg mp3 here. Also, don't miss his Wing Commander Surf Theme which was done for a CES several years back.
