Well CR stated that he would be reimbursed for his expenses for that first year. This happened when SC hit the 20 million TOTALLY FUNDED mark, just for CR to state nope sorry we forgot about taxes and I need my money back. And so the new goal was 23 million.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about and the primary reason why only idiots would try to discard that first year when in fact money was spent on the "game". Nobody gives a poo poo if it was a concept, production demo - or all of it tossed. Money (backers or not) was spent and for this project, so I 100% has to count. Only idiots keep trying to put this through revisionist history.

Yeah the game looks fantastic. There's plenty of talented people working on it, but that's not where the problems are.

It's too bad really.

To me it looks like a janky floaty jittery mess. If this were an alpha I would expect the reverse, the art assets would look poor and the engine and mechanics would be somewhat smooth by now. It looks like they have a ton more work to do in terms of fixing the FPS portion.

You know that feeling, as a man, of post-coital apathy where you just don't care when you're done? Now that I've been refunded, I feel that same way towards Star Citizen. I just don't care, drama or otherwise.

Thanks for the many night stand Star Citizen.

No, I get that, but even when she made her speech that "its never been a secret" during the Con, she wasn't wearing her wedding ring. Whereas today she seems to have turned up the "Chris and I are in an amazing marriage" dial to 11.

She is overcompensating because she has a major crush on the new French guy. Just watch the live stream, if those two are not screwing yet, they will the next time she has a "French book club".

Derek, do you know of any reason why Sandi is suddenly pushing the "I am married to Chris" thing in such a hardcore manner? Between the anniversary flowers tweet and suddenly wearing a ring that she hasn't ever worn in public appearances, including her CitCon reveal speech, it seems REALLY odd.

Yeah, I've been pondering that one for some time now. I got nuthin' but theories.

The thing to remember is that these people apparently harp on everything I post and/or say. And since they have people who scan Goon enclave for meaty morsels to send back to the mother ship, my guess is that they are trying to address any appearance of doubt, in the public domain.

It's no different from back when I started harping about her non-credentials. Then she subsequently didn't post, you know, actual credentials (which she doesn't have), but part (you couldn't see the masthead) of a letter from what appears to be from an undergrad program at what is the equivalent of a technical college for us folks in the US.

Also, after $95m shoved into a train wreck, and seeing as she was an "actress" prior to Star Citizen, one could assume that riding the "I'm married to Chris Roberts, creator of Star Citizen" hype train is good for Hollywood cred. Especially if she's now standing in the same room, talking to and breathing the same air with the likes of Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill et al. Something that - outside of Star Citizen - would never ever have happened to an "actress" of her caliber. Other than fetching coffee maybe. Remember, she was an intern at Ascendant Pictures where she met Chris.

She is an opportunist. So this is just part of that.

When this poo poo show crashes - as I have no doubt that it will before long - she still has Hollywood because something like Star Citizen is a once in a lifetime kinda deal. The sort of thing that only an incompetent rear end like Chris Roberts, could blow with impunity.

As I've said before, if one or more of these people done get brought up on charges by the Feds when this explodes, I will be very - very - surprised.

ps: No, she's neither fluent in French, nor German. I have it on first-hand authority how/where she got German lessons.

It's rare that I watch streams.

But last night I watched one guy ... dance. Another guy had it so these animated aliens ran across the screen, and he'd pull out this prop-movie gun and act like he was shooting them. That was pretty clever.

It's quite clear they've spent more time on chair swivelling and visor frosting animations than on silly things like putting together a reasonably stable engine that actually has any chance of supporting their 'vision' of what this game is going to be. I find this utterly hilarious.

It has been repeatedly stated this will by a simulation you will be able to actually live in not something fun like a game
