Tweaking The Classics Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Boeman has made a marvelous short Wing Commander clip that you can now view in your web browser. It's a two meg download, and you progress through the scenes with the space bar. But unlike most fan movies, this one is done Wing Commander 1 style. It's really cool, but that's not the end of it. Boeman actually has a point and a mission. At the end of the clip, you're able to enter your name and information and then send a tailored message to Origin asking for some development tools. The project itself sounds like the WCESCRP, but with a twist. The specifics about what he asks for and how he asks are somewhat different. The movie itself is definitely worth the short download and viewing, and it wouldn't hurt a bit to sign and fill out his request form at the end. You can find WC Advocacy here. I think he's bit harsh towards Chris Roberts there, since he did create the movie after all, but it's still a great clip.

Majestically Taking Over Your Life Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Like us, you may have been wondering where former Origin general manager Neil Young has been these past couple years. He ran a bunch of stuff at OSI in the early days of Ultima Online and Wing Commander Prophecy and also got co-executive producer billing for the Movie. He was also the guy that got us into the premiere. Well now he's leading the new EA game Majestic. If you haven't heard of it, it's a new type of "online game" for those looking for a little bit of mystery and excitement in their lives. Instead of playing a conventional program, you input your email address, messenger address, phone number, fax number and so on into the system, and over the course of days, weeks and months a conspiracy unfolds around you in "real life." Half of me thinks they won't be able to pull off a truly engrossing experience.. and the other half is real spooked that they actually might. You can find more here.

And since Majestic keeps track of everything you do, the experience becomes more and more tailored to you as you keep playing. “A character in the game might ask me the name of my wife. A few months later I might get a call saying, ‘Neil, if you don’t stop snooping, you might find Laurie in a pool of blood’.” Not for the faint of heart.
Good golly.
