    This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that inspired Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here (it's a weird one!). The movie will start about 7 PM PST/10 PM EST but feel free to drop by and hang any time!

    oldziey_volume2_21t.jpgWe've got a couple of updates for Origin composer George Oldizey's Wing Commander album project. First is the news that the vinyl albums continue to suffer extended delays. Work is continuing, but certain elements need to be redone and all of this takes time. To me, this sounds like pretty typical stuff for a project of this nature, but it will means fans on the higher tiers of the original Kickstarter campaign will need to continue to hang tight. On the bright side, the digital and CD versions of the music are complete and they are just wonderful. Now that people who pledged for just these products in the campaign have been taken care of, Mr. Oldziey has added the items for wide scale purchase from his website. Stop by here if you'd like to pick up the album files for $25 or on disc for $50. The first orchestral album as well as the jazz spinoff are also available!

    I'm always excited to discover a new piece of Wing Commander-related advertising... and we've got a big one today! Baen ran these unique magazine advertisements for Wing Commanders End Run and Fleet Action in Science Fiction Chronicle in December 1993 and January 1994, respectively. There's some pretty unique copy in here: "soil words from a soft Kilrathi mouth." (?!) It's crazy to think that there was a time when the two biggest Wing Commander novels came out just months apart; the Wing Commander universe certainly grew by leaps and bounds in 1994!
