I think Sandi really was the brains behind PR and CS and she did a very good job of innovating on those areas and making SC as successful as it is. If there are internal difficulties, I feel that could be because her role was extended beyond those areas. The employee complaints do follow a thread of "don't upset Sandi". This makes no sense as people don't have much to do with PR and CS was set up by Sandi, but then later delegated by her to Chelsea / CS Managers. This suggest that her role and influence extended beyond the original parameters, at least in one office, and possible more (if you follow the lines of the WM/SG divide). It is never good if too many roles overlap, if there are too many people to please, or "managers" don't really have the power to truly affect decisions and change. It is a recipe for undermining your team and causing a lot of issues. I don't know the extent of the problems yet, though everyone has opinions, you can't get back wasted money nor turn back time and reverse terrible decisions. What you need to do though is remove the ego, acknowledge the problem, remove conflicts of interest, have a empowered upper management, say "mistakes were made" and bring in some experts (Maybury, who is gone...) to to create a realistic timeframe, break the truth to backers, and remove impediments to development and release (CR if he can't stop himself having his fingers in everything).

A Fancy 400 lbs posted:i really wish both croberts and smart would stop trying to make this a gamergate thing. smart and his GG friends arent any less of obnoxious shitheads because they finally realuzed croberts scammed them and croberts being friends with vox "half-savage" day and the dickwulf saga dont really give him any moral legs to stand on. I feel torn about this as well. Like, I'm really rooting for Derek here, but I also feel conflicted about it. It reminds me of something you'd see in Game of Thrones / Breaking Bad / The Wire (maybe? I never saw it). An anti-hero (or villain protagonist?) with a checkered past is locked in a battle with an incompetent villain at the head of a fanatical deranged cult, and they are both trying to get a morally reprehensible third party to throw it's weight in on their side. Victory... But at what cost?

I'm gonna embarrass myself. But every second line that girl had in the film referenced having balls and not in a 'daredevil' way. What? Edit: ALSO the movie opens with a bunch of ships kamikaze'ing something and the sound effects seem to have no connect at all to the visuals. It was really jarring and not a good omen.

What this video doesn't show you is that it is completely his fault that her ship was damaged and she needed to land in the first place. He was doing life-endangering goofy poo poo the entire movie to everyone in the cast and he barely gets slapped on the wrist, and then Freddie Prince Jr. successfully argues that he should still be allowed to fly after man-slaughtering his girlfriend. If you watch this video without context you miss ALOT of the important themes.

For someone obsessed with space he doesn't have a clue about how it works either. Not to be pedantic nerdlinger, but why space bulldoze that space ship off the space flight deck? Do the other ships running out of fuel need constant thrust to maintain space lift to keep the space air flowing over their space wings so they don't fall out of space or something?

 says the ship name Beer posted was a red herring, made on the assumption that goons would immediately ruin everything and obfuscated just enough to make it believable. Meanwhile, he and D-Smizzle are sitting safely on the REAL name, and will tweet/post it right as the presentation starts and it's too late for CIG to do anything about it.Much, much funnier that way. peter gabriel posted:I wish Samsung made cigars peter gabriel: Cigar Citizen

I think honestly his problem, even back the Wing Commander movie, is that he feels he's never had enough money. If only he had more the effects would be better. If only he could have a better cast etc. He's like Hitler in that way. Some lovely art people don't like and dude loses it. Just this time it's not ovens and genocide, but. Jpegs and a. "A list cast" . Kidding aside. It's just another failure of Hollywood, a story that's played out a million times. This guy just happened to be good at convincing people to part with their money, as has clearly been shown.

 I was feeling nice yesterday and tried to make them a new ship. They didn't like it.  I don't get it, its got more pixels than some of the ones CIG released already.Hard to please, some people.

 Also I noticed before DSmart vindicated himself with the new spaceship name, the one being passed around was the "Espera Prowler" which is cool because as a vague scifi word Espera is absolutely perfect.
