Cats loving love stink either that or they would go after warmth at any cost. My cat loves to curl up in my armpits, kneepits or even face first into one of my running shoes after doing 3-4 miles.

You can get many brilliant products celebrating the epic mess from the Goonrathi Redbubble store.

Some amazing pieces such as the Reconciliation of St Smart, Think Awful, and Dark Side of the Goon.

So, in closing, it comes as no surprise to me that we have seen as of late the appearance of these articles from corrupted journalism outlets like The Escapist and Yahoo, trying to discredit and plant a bad seed within the community. Trying to bring down the project. Who do you think funds these publications? Do you think they get their money solely from advertising? They are pens for hire my friends, willing to push the agenda of the highest bidder. All the media operates this way.

Think about it, and take these articles with a grain of salt.

I'm just a lowly grunt so I don't even know who are the ones funding our smear campaign against Croberts, but seeing how well both D_Smart and Lowtax are getting paid for it, they must be some very rich and powerful people indeed. Star Citizen could have been a great game, but the forums are dying and we need the money so whatever I'll just play Elite instead.

Get a refund Karl, free yourself from the mental gymnastics needed to convince yourself that SC might come out and be worth five thousand American dollars + VAT

Listen to this guy Karl - if the game turns out good, you can just buy the game at release! They don't need your money, your funds are going on some expensive floor tiles for the kitchen in their new offices. Get your money out before the whole thing comes crashing down.

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't understand how any backer could go 'Wow! Another mo-cap studio! Amazing! And their preview of 2.0 was a year old footage! See you in the 'verse!' You have to be mentally loving retarded to think everything is just fine and dandy.

Actually, it's probably just distortion from the camera lens. Sorry to kill your fun. (unlike redditors who claim to be whatever is convenient at the time, I have degrees in both optics and photography, and the optics one had a minor specialization in distortions and aberrations.)

Yup, mentally loving retarded. Going on three years and no gameplay but pre-rendered poo poo from a year ago. These people are getting what they deserve, honestly. If you can't hold them to task for not showing anything this far out you are hopeless.

I'm very sympathetic to the idea that the scope increased so there are clearly going to be delays but what is the excuse for the FPS module taking so long to get crosshairs right? In Cryengine? The only thing that I can think of, is that the game is being mismanaged to hell and back. Chris Roberts didn't learn his lesson and the game is suffering severely for it. I was skeptical of all the naysayers, but the only action that made any sense was getting a refund and re-buying if it actually comes out. Karl! Join us! You're a bit weird but so are most of us. Getting a refund will send a serious message and if it does actually launch most goons will be happy to do stuff with you to pay for your insurance.
