Quote from Star Citizen News

Hello Citizens,

Last week we announced the date and location for CitizenCon 2948! We invite you to join us at the Long Center, in Austin, Texas, on October 10th, for a full day of presentations and interactions, exploring the current and future developments in Star Citizen and Squadron 42. See you there!

The Community team is currently looking through all the incredible screenshots we received for our Intel® Optane™ SSD 900P contest and will announce a winner soon. And although there can only be one winner, we’d like to thank everyone who submitted a screenshot. You guys did a fantastic job, and there’ll surely be another chance to come in in first place.

With that, let’s see what’s going on this week:

Today, we’ll welcome a new episode of Calling All Devs, the show answering the questions asked and voted on by you, the Star Citizen community. This week, we’ll cover the current state of things on

11h - Cozmo

This week at Bungie, we prepare for our Last Wish.

We’re deep into week two of Forsaken. Many of you have finished your hunt and served justice to Uldren. That was just the beginning. The bravest Guardians have already visited the Dreaming City and begun to uncover its secrets. Tomorrow, fireteams will make their first attempts at defeating our latest raid, Last Wish.

As with every raid, we will be watching the streams and cheering you on. The completion of the raid is not even the endcap of what the Dreaming City has to offer. There are many more mysteries to uncover once the final boss has been slain.

Wide Awake and Dreaming

Far away from the Crucible, you’ll find the first dedicated endgame destination we’ve created, home to our largest endgame experience ever.

You’ll discover the Dreaming City in Destiny 2: Forsaken.

This week at Bungie, we witnessed a Gunslinger’s last stand.

Earlier today we showed you another glimpse of Cayde-6, surrounded by Barons, fighting off a barrage of enemies. Take a look.

This week at Bungie, we welcome back the Factions.

Everyone is back from E3, and we’re heads down, working hard on Forsaken. Several thousand players already got to play Gambit, and we’re extremely excited for more to play it, both at GuardianCon and when Forsaken releases on September 4.

Meanwhile, the Iron Banner rages on. You have the rest of the week to rank up with Lord Saladin and earn the Season 3 ornaments for your gear. Make sure you turn in everything before the reset on June 26 at 10 a.m., or you will have to wait until the next Iron Banner to claim your rewards. Your tokens and ornament progress will carry over.

This week at Bungie, we revealed Cayde’s fate.

If you want to remain spoiler-free, you should stop reading now and not look at the internet until September 4. As many of you already know, we gave you a glimpse of beloved Hunter Vanguard Cayde-6’s final moments earlier this week.

We told you that Forsaken is taking a darker tone and has a Western revenge vibe. It looks as if many of you have taken it upon yourselves to avenge Cayde. In September, you'll get your chance to hunt down the Barons, confront Uldren, and make him answer for his crimes.

This week at Bungie, we’re heading to gamescom.

The away team is all packed up and ready to ship out to Köln, Germany, for a week of community love and Gambit trials. Our booth will be home to some friendly skirmishes. We’ll host as many Guardians as we can. We'll find some moments to show you some things you have yet to see and tell you some things you have yet to hear. Keep your eyes on our social channels next week!

Not all of us will be battling jetlag and minions of Darkness. Here at home base, Forsaken is in the very final stages of development. We’re applying finishing touches, and we know there are still

My 4th of July contribution is a quick resource with the extracted fireworks graphics from Wing Commander I. The first three are VGA, and EGA is below. You can also find the sprite sheets here.

Stay safe out there!

Here's kind of a bizarre little video. Nacho Rolon is a Youtube account dedicated to posting short clips comprised of photos of printed work. It's mostly things like posters, but there's an odd book here and there. Somehow, the account has more than 3000 subscribers and 1.5 million views. Wing Commander 3: The Heart of the Tiger was recently added, but I'm not quite sure why. It's certainly a slideshow of photographs of the WC3 novelization!

It may not have been the smartest course of action, but we've all been there (there being the Alcor System after the destruction of the Behemoth).

Us folks here at DFTG have always had a huge appreciation for cosplay, and as such it’s difficult for us not to share some of the favorites we come by every now and then, especially if it has anything to do with the Mass Effect Trilogy. One fan cosplay in particular has begun to make some serious waves on the internet, a cosplay of none other than Tali’Zora Vas Normandy. The cosplay itself has skyrocketed all over the place thanks in part to the folks at BioWare sharing it over on their Twitter, which should give you an inkling as to how impressive it is. Check it out below:

“Give me a hunk of metal, some element zero, a circuit board, and I’ll have it making precision jumps.”

Dennis Mull is back with another wonderful Wing Commander find. The latest addition to his collection is the Special Edition of Wing Commander Prophecy. While these are fairly uncommon in English, it's even more rare to see a German one floating around. The main differences are the Cobalt 60 soundtrack as well as the awesome Wasp mouse pad. This is a nice pickup!

The folks here at DFTG absolutely love mods – even the really strange ones – so we’re always on the lookout for any kinds of mods that could heighten our experiences within our favorite games. Now, our spotlight is focusing on Fallout: New Vegas, which already has an impressive mod community dedicated to updating and revitalizing the popular Bethesda title. The Fallout: New Vegas mod we’re looking at today, though, adds something new – and pretty awesome – to the game! Created by xxShepardxx, this Fallout: New Vegas mod lets you play as Jack from the Mass Effect series, and it is absolutely amazing!

Now available for download through Mediafire, the ‘ME3 Jack’ mod for New Vegas lets you play as the edgy, super-powered biotic that we all know and love from the Mass Effect series. While Jack first entered the spotlight in Mass Effect 2 during Commander Shepard’s recruitment efforts for the “suicide

Quote from Mass Effect News-Bot

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)

Geraldo Rivera Rivera sent in this snippet of a wonderful OK PC magazine review for Wing Commander Academy. There's a lot to like in this article. First off, it's a Spanish magazine, so we get a slightly different take on early '90s Wing Commander compared to the standard fare. We got a peek at this version of Academy via DROSoft translation earlier this year. Secondly, it's a full four-page spread dedicated just to Academy. Without context, people today might blow WCA off as a simple mission builder, but at the time, this was a revolutionary way for fans to create their own missions. It was something fans were clamoring for and absolutely warranted being a standalone boxed product that people would run out and buy. At twelve years old, I put a lot of hours into mission building and loved the flexibility to pick ships and wingmen at will. Finally, from a magazine layout point of view, I like

Fan art from 1994! Found while digging through Amiga history for that demo writeup. Looks like it was done in a package called "Real 3D".

One for the Wing Commanders that weren't file: EA made a deal with Atari to port WC3 to the Jaguar in late '95. That makes three known cancelled conversions along with versions for the

Quote from Elite Dangerous Galnet News-Bot

A number of invaluable art treasures have been stolen from the Museum of Civilisation on Mars.

Museum historian Dr Imogen Ryang said:

"The stolen pieces include Rembrandt's Self-Portrait with Two Circles (17th Century), Guernica by Picasso (20th Century) and Terra Absentia by Zoe Okeke (23rd Century). Each of the works was replaced with the image of a winking cat."

"The loss of so many cultural artefacts is incalculable. This despicable criminal should have been hunted down long ago."

Culture journalist Kioko McGrath published an alternative view in The Federal Times:

"High-profile crimes such as this have resulted in the 'winking cat' motif becoming a popular anti-establishment symbol, appearing in advertising, graffiti and music. Ironically, the calling card of an art thief is now itself a culturally significant work of art."

Here’s the Union of Border Worlds’ Avenger torpedo bomber! The Avenger was introduced in Wing Commander IV as a flyable ship.

The Avenger was named in honor of the TBF Avenger, also a carrier-based torpedo plan. In lore it was said to have been built by Saab Engineering, a nod to Origin 3D artist Pauline Saab.

The Avenger made one more appearance in the Wing Commander canon: a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo as a renegade shuttle in the second episode of Academy. You can see the scale is way off: compare the 33-meter Avenger to what should be 28-meter Dralthi parked nearby!

Here’s the original concept sketch for Wing Commander IV!
