Want to work with a star? Your dream could come true if you get hired by Steven Petrarca Events. While the delta variant continues to scourge across the land in my area and many others, California has taken a relatively modest hit and the fancy gathering industry appears to be booming. SPE is hiring, so the opportunity exists to pick up gigs working as "servers, bartenders, models/brand ambassadors, tray passers, scullery, and more!" I looked it up, and scullery has something to do with washing dishes. Mr. Petrarca has been doing this for almost fifteen years now and has garnered even more attention in the hospitality industry than in the acting business - where he famously starred Lance Casey in Wing Commander Prophecy!

SPE is a boutique event planning and hospitality company located in Los Angeles, California, known for thoughtful residential style, and relaxed sophistication. We specialize in

About ten years ago, it was briefly popular for Wingnuts to splice up clips from various Wing Commanders and pair them with popular music. You don't see this much these days, since the overall novelty of casual video editing has worn off and it takes significantly more effort to create a slick production that stands out in the crowd. Nevertheless, Abbat Faria recently paired up cuts from the Wing Commander movie with Linkin Park's "By Myself." I'm still slightly baffled as to why it exists, but it's not the craziest Wing Commander creation I've stumbled across lately. I can only imagine that this version is superior to the original video though. Perhaps it resonates a bit more with people who are fans of the music...

Inspired by UnnammedCharacter's WC Toolbox and Marty2Life's recent German translation, L@Zar0 has put together a brand new Spanish translation! He's been steadily making progress for the past month, so releases are available for both Wing Commander 1&2, plus both Secret Missions and Special Operations. This is a wonderful surprise for fans trying to play the classics in their native language, and there's even hope that he might tackle Privateer in the future. You can download the WC1/SM package here (4 meg zip) and the WC2/SO package here (5 meg zip). Readmes are included with more instructions or you can learn more at these pages at his site. This should work for either the original DOS or GOG versions. Even if you're not up for playing through the game in another language, check out these juicy images of it in action!

I want to give the thanks to UnnamedCharacter (and the members) that have

We recently reported that Wing Commander SNES artist Mike Winterbauer had launched a Kickstarter to create a physical portfolio showing the creation and use of his cover painting. We're happy to report that the $500 funding goal has been reached... and then some! As of this writing, the project hass already brought in pledges for over three times the original goal. Congratulations to Mr. Winterbauer and good work to the Wing Commander community.

One of the first questions about the campaign was: how can I get EVERYTHING? To that end, he has added a new "Ultimate Wing Commander" pledge level. For $230 you get the book, the metal sign, the magnet, the six prints, the art card, the canvas print and the giclee print! If you love the Wing Commander SNES painting as much as we do that's a heck of a deal. You can join the campaign or adjust your pledge here. There are still three weeks to go... so who knows,

Marvel’s Daredevil has finally returned to Netflix for its long anticipated Season 3, marking the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen’s first outing after the events of the mashup series The Defenders. With the new season becoming available on Netflix earlier today, many fans will be tempted to skip the show’s recap, though doing so would be to miss out on a pretty amazing Mass Effect 3 Easter egg.

Lmao, the recap uses Mass Effect 3’s Leaving Earth… from r/Daredevil

The news comes by way of Reddit, wherein a Redditor dutifully sat through the Daredevil recap before the beginning of Season 3 and discovered that the recap actually used the “Leaving Earth” score from Mass Effect 3. Perhaps the most popular track in BioWare’s trilogy capstone, “Leaving Earth” features beautiful piano work with the now iconic Reaper ‘Bwooooom’ sound punctuating the track. Netflix’s Daredevil series’ soundtracks tend to use a

Hello,

Thanks for all your continued feedback – we’ve been listening carefully and have continued to make a number of improvements. In this patch we’re introducing an overhauled save system, which makes managing saves between game modes much easier.

This patch is available now on PC and PS4. Read on for full patch notes!

New save system

• You will now be presented with 5 save-game slots (each of which can be used for any game mode). Your existing saves will be mapped into these slots
• Selecting an empty slot will start a new game, allowing you to then pick which game mode to play from the mode select menu
• There are now two sub-slots for each save-game – one for automatic saves and one for manual saves.
  • Automatic saves occur when exiting your ship, dying, purchasing a Freighter or claiming a base
  • Manual saves occur when interacting with a save point (these can be built from the build menu), or a beacon found on

Technology journalist Harlow Nassry has published an article in The Federal Times regarding a mysterious criminal group known only as 'the Collective':

"Several recent digital crimes, including the theft of a billion credits from Zachary Rackham, have now been attributed to the Collective. Security forces have launched investigations, but it seems that the name is already well known among hacker communities."

"The Collective is a group of anti-authority 'hacktivists' who believe that all information should be publicly available. It has existed for some years, but until recently its activities have been small scale."

"Nobody knows the identity of the group's members, which has no spokespersons or apparent leaders. As anarchists, they delight in flouting the law, believing that all data should be in the public domain – except, of course, data about themselves."

"Some see the Collective as

has a new song titled "The Video Game Champion." The track's official lyric video features footage from a wide variety of '80s and '90s video games and movies. There's a lot of vintage arcade and SNES in there, but DMJC spotted Wing Commander in the mix as well. You can see a Hornet walloping a Dralthi at 3:43 in the clip. It doesn't stay up for long, but if you want your classic video games video to have any credibility, it's got to have Wing Commander in there somewhere!

It's hard to believe, but we're already well into June and the (northern) summer is practically here. That means that it's once again time for us to start getting ready for the CIC Birthday Party! Just like we have for the last few years, we'll be shifting the observed date slightly to accommodate various conflicts. We hope you can join us on Saturday, August 17, at 7:00 pm EDT (4:00 pm PDT and 11:00 pm GMT). This year we'll be celebrating the CIC's 21st, which is hard to believe!

The party will take place in #Wingnut on our Discord server. As always, you're welcome to drop by the chat room any time beforehand to join in the fun. We're still working out the specifics, but for the first time, there's a chance we might also have an accompanying simultaneous live stream to take the excitement to a whole new dimension! Stay tuned for more details as the event approaches.

Coffeehound RetroSharka has published a fun video in her Nostalgic Nibbles series. This one focuses on the Super Nintendo version of Wing Commander. The author here has a lot of positive things to say about the game, and they're coming from a place of experience. She played the original Amiga Wing Commander and picked up the SNES version not long after its release. They've even played the Sega CD edition and Super Wing Commander on 3DO but considers this version a favorite. I have to agree - there are many limitations compared to the DOS release that most folks are familiar with, but the game's punchy opening music coming through lo-fi speakers is just an indelible memory. The controls were dense for a console at the time, but it was possible to do almost everything in the cockpit that a PC could. This is a good overview of the game, although I can't forgive the person for pronouncing SNES as

General: Added the D.O.M.I.N.O. console to the "Allied Dogfighters" console set. Also added a new 4 piece Bonus to the set. The 3 piece Bonus from the "Allied Dogfighters" console set now also affects the cooldown of the D.O.M.I.N.O. console. The Andorian Wing Cannons can now be equipped on any Andorian Escort. Foundry: The Lethean and Dewan escorts and the Lukari science ship show up correctly in the Foundry costume editor. Resolved an issue that could cause windows on the new T6 Andorian ships to sometimes float above the ships. Dewan and Lethean Wing Torpedo Platforms now display the correct allegiance when targeted. Resolved an issue that caused the "Promise of Ferocity" starship trait to display as "Promise of Ferocity - Lockout" in some places.

Fallout: New Vegas is one of our favourite entries into the Wasteland franchise. Obsidian did such a wonderful job building a hardcore survival narrative in the Mojave desert. That being said, anybody that is familiar with Don’t Feed the Gamers knows that we have a mighty obsession with BioWare’s Mass Effect series – that means any time we can merge the two, we will. We’ve shared an amazing mod in the past adding the infamous biotic Jack into the RPG, but now even more characters are making their way in including a Kasumi-inspired retexture, Garrus Vakarian, Liara, and even our beloved Quarians!

The mod itself is appropriately called “Mass Effect Fallout” (simple) and though it doesn’t change the story it all, it does change how players can experience their own character in the game. With Asari retextures, Mass Effect-inspired armor sets, and tons more – the space romance simulator (kidding)

Whether they’re hunkering down with friends or quantum traveling to be with family, Thanksgiving is all about being thankful and celebrating the holiday together with loved ones. It doesn’t matter if it’s a simple Big Benny’s noodle box, a fully dressed space turkey, or enjoying a nice Pips or Radegast with the crew. We asked you to share this wonderful experience and show the ‘verse what you’re thankful for. Participate in not one, but two contests in honor of Thanksgiving and with a bit of luck, become the proud owner of a brand-new Banu

Foundry Spotlight: [AEI] In Silence The Foundry is a special program within Star Trek Online that allows users to make their own episodes, playable by other Captains within STO. To access it, open your Mission Journal, and select “Foundry,” at the top. Every now and then, we like to spotlight a particularly interesting or unique mission for all of you to experience. This time, we’re spotlighting “[AEI] In Silence” by Starfarertheta. In Silence is part of an initiative called the Alliance Exploration Initiative, created by fan podcast The Foundry Roundtable. The goal was to create missions based around exploration, not just combat. In Silence takes you on a mission to meet up with a very demanding ambassador, which quickly goes off course and becomes an exploration of a long-dead space station, full of interesting and wonderful surprises. I particularly enjoyed the dialogue choices in the
