My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

The word "Protomech" (Battletech) came up so often of late that I had to go look it up. Now that I have, I am scared. And when that happens I go back to my creative comfort: Wing Commander. #scifiart #blender #b3d #wingcommander

"Ok, but I can't guarantee it won't be silly." Someone asked about making a #HeavyGear / #Battletech crossover render and that was my answer to them. #blender #scifiart #mecha

New Ancient DOS Games episode uploaded and ready to watch! youtu.be/Rv1KOhAEF0o

No particularly artistic idea here, I just liked how the 3d-ification of the Southern Republic emblem turned out when it's being lit right. #heavygear #blender

Im going to be streaming the New #Mech Game on the Block: #DropCommand . I've got a fancy for Mech combat and a can of Crown Royal Whisky & Cola, so lets do this: youtube.com/live/9rjfBiw...

Re-release of Wing Commander III coming out with video taken from the original tapes courtesy of a restoration project led by Jim Vessella who has been digitizing the EA video archive

War is serious business in the Terra Nova badlands of #HeavyGear I don't really know what tickled the creative muse enough to make this. #scifiart #blender

We're getting WING COMMANDER FMVs, gang!!! Jim Vessella found over 600 source tapes in the EA archives and have been restoring them

I saw this on my YouTube feed and now Im taking it as a sign to stream CS:HRTR again soon. But only after I do Drop Command first.

We talked about this earlier in the week and I don’t know enough about the Amiga to know if this is “competent hobbyist helped by AI” or “dumb guy makes more slop”. But it did get me thinking about Amiga Secret Missions!

Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (LucasArts) was released 29 years ago! The second and final Star Wars game with FMV sequences left me with some very fond memories.

#Battletech x #Idolmaster. Or Battlemaster, if you will. ... I'll just see myself out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4iC...

Did you miss the latest ADG-se? It's pretttttttty sketchy! ;)

Every time I head back to do a #HeavyGear video I always end up modifying the models a bit. The Terra Nova video was the first time I ever did modelling at length, so anytime I go back I try to add what I've learned to them since. #scifiart #blender #b3d

#HeavyGear 4th Ed. 's got a good deal going with the aptly named Bundle of Holding: Get the 4th Ed. Sourcebook, 2 adventures, the Art of HG Vol 4 ebooks for $19.99 USD: bundleofholding.com/presents/Hea...

A lot of folks have very thoughtfully forwarded me a trailer for a "Wing Commander Remake". I am sorry to report that this is not genuine; it's a crypto bro who has found Howard Day's open source "Wingleader" assets and is vibe coding them to launder their reputation.

THE EXTREMELY COOL THING HAPPENED! @alltinker.com has released WCAT 1.0 which... SUPPORTS WING COMMANDER II! For the first time in over three decades, Wing Commander II's speed issues have been fixed and we can play the game the way it was meant to be played. www.wcnews.com/news/2026/09...

I'm looking at this and all I can think is "Gee, I didn't know the Clanners were fond of Nikon cameras". #battletech

It's Fall now, so that makes it #HeavyGear season for the Youtube channel. When did I decide that? Just now actually. #blender #scifiart

This is the story of a group caught in the middle of their Space Mom and Dad fighting over whos ideas on how to raise the children are best. This group would then go on to become a central pillar of the galaxy. They are...The Rangers. #babylon5 #scifi youtu.be/IswipIX1BzQ

Lots of new videos tonight, I know, but once you're done watching the ones I reposted from fellow video-creating colleagues, here's the latest No-Nostalgia Retro Gaming video uploaded and ready to watch! youtu.be/ldnmzQznYMY

It is 1996 and I'm watching PJ Phil on YTV. It is 2026 and I'm watching PJ Phil on Youtube. www.youtube.com/@PJPhilsLast...

The beta build of my new DOS game: "LETTERGUN - The Run 'N Gun Board Game", written in over 3,000 lines of QBASIC code, is now up for my $4+ Patreon supporters to try out! :D For everyone else, the full game will go up as a free download on my website (with source code) one week from now! ;)

Wouldn't it be great if there was a huge collection of bitmap fonts all in one place for your convenience. github.com/ianhan/Bitma...

Omega. With a Ship class name like that you damn well better be an intimidating sight. #Babylon5 #blender #b3d #scifiart

Oh yeah, another 60th anniversary thing I made! It even got put to use on the excellent Star Trek Comics site… www.startrekcomics.info

The only day you can repost this.
