So Sandi's game plan here was always, I presume, to use the mo-cap A-list actor angle to position herself next to them, hoping for the opportunity to break into Hollywood. (It failed, and will continue to fail.)

The thing is, actors of that caliber deal with soulless NPD aspiring "actors" and "actresses" like Sandi almost every single day. It's like how if you frequently visit a dog part, not stepping in the poop becomes second nature. They probably smelled her before they even got into the building. They honestly would have been better off getting some C-listers in there for her to buddy with - they're less discerning and happier to be working, and to find anyone to share "acting" war stories with.

So now that that opportunity has come and gone, what more could she possibly have at stake with this game? She couldn't give less of a poo poo about gaming, and I really doubt she connects with this, uh, community. Her long con has failed, and at some point, she's going to realize that nobody is actually going to return her calls.

So what happens then? Will she stick around for the free cash and simulated celebrity lifestyle, or run off again, seeking the fame she just knows she deserves even when she was a little girl?
Probably stick around as long as the cash keeps rolling in. She doesn't actually DO anything of note at CIG, so why leave? Once the money dries up though, I have no doubt that she's gone and is going to divorce CRobbers (again). He better have a prenup!

It's weird that Sandi comes right out and says in that email that they've been looking for someone to replace her for the past two years. She also says that part of the reason noone is willing to do it because of the pay. Are they offering sub-fast food worker wages or something? I find it hard to believe they can't find someone more qualified and proven than Sandi in two years unless the criteria is "you must be Sandi Gardiner".

They're probably paying that position like poo poo on the books to help with the bottom line while paying Chris, who will never leave, quite well and by proxy Sandi too.

I am certain, that if Ben ever did cocaine, he'd already be dead of heart failure by now as opposed to in a few more years.

His drug is far more basic than that, and not one that can be contained by normal clothes.

I'd pay money to see a roundtable-style "Intervention" show where all the CIG bigwigs have to face their addictions.


Chris: "You know, it's like the first time you try it, you think 'I'll just do it once' and then the cocaine just grabs hold of you, and next thing you know you're ripping off people over the internet so you can build a cocaine sandcastle for your hermit crab to live in."

Sandi: "I really don't need to be here. I'm famous! Famous people don't get addicted to fame. Hell, the only thing I could be addicted to is being so famous all the time. Haha as if that was a real addiction!"

Ben: "I just really like cheese. I dunno. Havarti is my favorite, I just wish you could get it in the 10lb blocks like White Cheddar."

She called herself the most educated person at CIG and used the word "butt-hurt" multiple times in official company communications. This trainwreck is getting better and better. I think Croberts final metldown when he shuts this poo poo down will be glorious, ETA by end of the year.
