    The Wallpaper Just Gets Bigger (July 15, 2026)

    Thanks for the help, folks! I am stupid. :D I think that's a coincidence; he sent Seether to do the false flag attacking the station, he just happened to be at the bar at the same time as Blair. I had to think about this for a little! I was initially tempted to say that the intent was that...

    The Wallpaper Just Gets Bigger (July 15, 2026)

    Good question Tolwyn believed that Blair would be convinced the Border Worlders were responsible for the attacks and then get behind his push for war; because of his public image, Blair was someone whose support would've helped make the case to the Assembly. That's why Seether destroys Orlando...

    Yorktown-Class At War's End

    That's a very good question. I don't think we really have a good idea how many there were… but I would bet on a higher number. You can pick out at least a dozen of them in the cutscene where the fleet has gathered at the jump point leading to Kilrah at the end of the game! I don't think the...

    After Action Report: Independence Day (July 10, 2026)

    The Wing Commander movie club had a great Independence Day watching Independence Day! It's one of those movies that remains just as much fun as it did when we were teenagers. It's hard to argue that it's some great piece of art or that it's especially clever… but you start watching and you're...

    Wing Commander I music

    I think the music is just bugged occasionally in the debriefings; I'm not sure it indicates anything about your performance when it's wrong. The live surf theme recording you've heard was made at a party at Winter CES 1991. The lullabye is Fat man singing.

    Exteban has unveiled a VERY impressive project: a full Spanish dub of Wing Commander II's speech files! It covers both the original speech, the speech acessory pack and the limited speech that appears in Special Operations 1 and 2. That must've been quite a lot of work! Details and instructions...

    Enjoy Interactive Movies (July 16, 2007)

    AD has come across an article at GamesRadar titled "Tracking the Sordid History of Interactive Movies". By 'interactive movie', they mean 'film shoot' - forgetting that the former label was originally created to refer to games like Wing Commander II and System Shock. Oddly, Wing Commander (the...

    The Next Excalibur (June 30, 2026)

    Looks like someone named Bapman uploaded a bunch of Klavs' models to Sketchfab. The original artist probably found this one there and doesn't know the real origin. So a case of the artist doing the right thing and trying to credit the modeler, just having the wrong guy...
