I don't know if that's the new or old Santa Monica office. Looking at the google map it is directly on the water. If there is any way to make your costs higher, put your business directly overlooking the ocean. Wise spend of money indeed.

That's the old office. It's about three blocks away from the ocean but there's no view to speak of. It's actually kind of hard to find; the office itself is located down a long hallway that opens up into a back alley on one end and the promenade (basically a bunch of shops) on the other. There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to its location outside of some good places to eat nearby. The office is tiny, traffic sucks, parking is a nightmare (I have no idea if employees have permits but I would hope so), the building itself is really dark, and you need a key to use the restroom.

I never heard of Reddit before that happened, so yeah there was a lot of crying. I also (rightfully) avoided reddit for years and years for the same reasons. Poking fun at Starcitizen has been the most I've ever used reddit in my life. I can't fathom why anyone would like to participate in a forum that is organized by up and down votes alone.

Seamless transition between ship and first person, which in the case of larger ships means walking around inside/outside of them, is pretty ambitious.

Definitely but the 50th time you need to get up and walk around to do something that is normally in a menu people will realize it's tedious as all hell. Like CQ in Eve.

So… does he at any point explain where the historical transparency is? All he's really saying there is that the closed (supposedly) alpha stage is open to those who pay for participating. But that's not really anything new or anything particularly transparent…

If they want to really wow the 'open development' fans, but without actually showing any of the work in progress, they should get an open web cam. Goons went crazy over an open webcam thread a couple years ago. Cams in offices, cams in homes, even cams in outdoor public places. Goons basically fell in love with some guy we nicknamed "Fritz" who worked in an ISP office in Germany. It is weirdly fascinating.

Something like this: http://www.opentopia.com/webcam/7556

No sound, so no fear of trade secrets getting out. It would just let fans watch the little worker bees working away.

Do it CIG. DOOOOO IIIIIIIT.

Sandi talked to three publicists-- "because we're going to go wider next year".

Sandi has been dealing with new merch crises with

SANDI: "There's an office there. (We're not closing down.) I insulted everybody. Fired a few people. Made obnoxious comments."

Sandis necklace is confirmed to be a talisman which emits positive energy to hear, "if you believe in that sort of thing."
