Looking at New Conquests with DA Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

LOAF noted that Gamecenter has recently posted an interview with Chris Roberts here primarily on the upcoming Conquest, but with a brief mention of Privateer 2 and Warthog. Roberts also talks about the 'Lancers (Star and Free) and the possibility of X-box games from Digital Anvil. Overall it's a bit more PR and a bit less new content.

GC: StarLancer is obviously out. And it kind of got a mixed reception...
C. R.: You guys hated it. [Gamecenter rated the game a 5 out of 10.]

GC: Yes, we've heard about that.
C. R.: The way I would look at StarLancer is that if you like the Wing Commander-style of game, it's a good implementation but it's not going to give you anything revolutionary or new...

Did You Know Saffron Burrows Was in the WC Movie? Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

If you did, then you would have known enough to get through the Wing Commander questions at last night's Battlestar Commander SciFi.com Mindprobe trivia contest. The hourlong event was great fun.. for Battlestar Galactica fans, those interested in general trivia or good guessers. Out of the seventy official questions, only sixteen were about Wing Commander. I expected there to be a roughly equal question distribution.. or at least something better than four to one. And then there was the quality of the questions. There were a couple decent ones that went into Novel topics and such, but most required just basic knowledge along the lines of "Kilrathi are feline" and "the TCS Tigerquill was never a main ship." A few of the fans complained after the event so the host brought out a few unused WC questions that were deemed "too hard." I'm proud to report the Wingnuts in attendance really nailed them. The Java interface locked up for me about forty minutes into the party, so I missed out. But I'm still looking forward to something similar in the future.. especially if it gives WC some fair attention.

And while on the subject of trivia, our own CIC trivia got an amazing number of responses last week, but this week is a bit dry. If you'd like to play, you can find more here. They are a little bit harder.
