"How many people here know about the Maniac?"

If you've been on the Internet today, then you know today is the date that Back to the Future 2 takes place on in the future. With Tom Wilson's involvement in Wing Commander, that's a bandwagon that's just too hard to pass up! To celebrate the day Wing Commander-style, start by hopping over to Maniac's WCPedia page for a very thorough write-up of Todd Marshall's career defending humanity (and writing an autobiography). And although we only got a one-page advert for that book from Star*Soldier, there's a lot of great backstory behind ME: The Life and Battles of "Maniac" Marshall that's good to know. If you'd like to see Tom's thoughts on the whole interactive movie gig, check out his interview from the WC3 Behind the Screens CD. Or listen to his thoughts on pop culture, life and everything else at his Nerdist podcast. Finally, you can find out more about his real life biography here.
