A DS mention with that link... Good luck anyone who still needs a refund and can be traced from SA to RSI.

Yeah people discussing the deets of their refund processes before they've got cash in hand seems like a bad idea. Of course that goes for any transaction.

I enjoyed Stephen King's Dark Tower series and this thread reminded me of a quote at the end of his last book:

quote:

You are the grim, goal-oriented ones who will not believe that the joy is in the journey rather than the destination no matter how many times it has been proven to you. You are the unfortunate ones who still get the lovemaking all confused with the paltry squirt that comes [at the end] ...

Endings are heartless.

Ending is just another word for goodbye.


Hope SC never ends.

Worth bearing in mind, Derek Smart is the original shitposter. He's gone full retard in the past over criticism for his own lovely games, so even though he's doing God's work right now, be prepared for the day in the not-distant future when he's trying to sue Lowtax over some imaginary debate he had with goons. He will turn on us. It's only a matter of when. Which is liable to be at least as entertaining as his recent crusade, so that's not exactly a bad thing, it's just something to be expecting.

Hello Commandos
When I was young I was going to get a swingset for the garden for my birthday but for some reason when we got to the toy shop I changed my mind at the last second and got one of these:



It was a lump of poo poo and I knew it pretty much as soon as I got it home, I didn't want to be ungrateful so I played with the slug shaped pile of crap all summer but looking back I think this is where my deep seated hatred of all things Sci Fi comes from.

It was for the best, you might have spent your youth thinking Wing Commander was ever good otherwise. That road leads to spending entry level luxury car money on spaceship pictures and sending pictures of your shriveled junk to any female unfortunate enough to cross your path.

I actually paid to see Wing Commander in theaters, a shame I will take with me to the grave.

Does anyone know if :pgi: are in any way going to benefit from the funds raised for Battletech?

PGI licensed their art so the games have a common look, so yes they will profit to some extent from it. Don't think terms are public.

Hell, he did that two threads ago-- threw a big fit after briefly enjoying a goon hero's welcome. It was comedy gold-- until some folks repeatedly pissed him off by pasting his 'private' Facebook communications in the thread. Then it become comedy platinum and he threw a bitch fit, damned the lot, and left.

For the time being, his big target remains CIG-- and at this point, they really DO deserve more exposure and condemnation. And frankly, given how consistently hilarious he's proven (as both antagonist and target), I can't imagine a more appropriate foil.

(Editing to add: he didn't try to sue Lowtax, he just threw a big hissy fit.)

yeah-- i just hope he comes back here again and we get version 2.0 of that whole spaztastic minuet. It was so drat hilarious while it lasted. If he wasn't so bloody thin-skinned and cocky, he could've hung around and aired more of his laundered CIG dirt through some sympathetic amplifiers.

Then again, his thin-skinned cockiness is the reason things got so bugnuts with Sandi and Chris so fast... So I guess I can't complain.

Battletech Game = Tabletop minature turn based strategygame. (some nerds may argue its RPG but whatever)
