it's a drinking horn, which he then pours a Japanese drink for kids into.


Matt Barton has been doing "Matt Chat" for years. He's probably the most widely respected video game historian in the world. He's written 4 (now 5 one is at the publisher) books on the subject. His viewers asked him to try the drink. He usually reviews alcoholic beverages in his drinking horn. He has a PhD and he's also a friend of mine. The Japanese Drink Ramun or whatever the hell it was is a little joke, but not nearly as bad of a joke as Star Citizen is. Matt and I had discussed previously (about January I believe) Rob Irving being interviewed and whether or not Irving was under an NDA.

Matt's a little silly, but he isn't an idiot. He's interviewed most of the fathers and mothers of video gaming including Ralph Baer. He's got more video game cred than anyone working on Star Citizen that's for drat sure. I did give him a lot of hell about opening the bottle which was funny to watch.



It certainly would be interesting to see him interview Derek Smart.

Are there any plans to make parts of Squadron 42 available for backers? If CIG really wants to show that they are making real progress on this they should release the game to backs in small chunks where they can see the storyline and missions. Since the game is supposedly going to be "finished" this year as they have promised multiple times, this shouldn't be an issue.

Hahaha you really don't know? The Squadron 42 everyone is waiting for right now is Squadron 42 Episode ONE. I think they said they were going to break it up into like three chapters or whatever. I honestly don't remember how many but it's supposed to be episodic.

So far I like the arguments presented by the Bernie-goons more. And yet I have this devil on my shoulder that can't help but say "Why does this remind me so much of the early Star Citizen excitement?"

So thank you thread for making me cynical towards any hope of meaningful political change for the better.

I quickly deleted those tweets, and did some basic research on the vietnam war in case anyone wanted to challenge me again, haha. My original plan was to slowly shitpost on Sandi's wall until I become well known enough to her (I haven't completely thought this plan through yet though).

Remember that after you watch it.

With unlimited production time, the opportunity to script and rehearse responses, the luxury of creative editing and $110 million dollars, this incompetent and incoherent mess is the best Chris Roberts could come up with.

I just watched some of the previous 10FTC and he said they record it on Friday and upload on Monday so on top of the point you made they actually film it 3 days in advance of when it's going live and still manage to release it in the state they've been in.

Tbh, Bernie supporters like to say it'll be the end of the world if you vote for Hillary, but I think we'll all be fine as long as the person who wins isn't trump. Besides the real election that matters is the congressional elections and nobody gives a gently caress about it anyway.

Oh man, I remember this, it's worse than you think. Let me quote the full insanity for you:

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

My understanding, as best I can, is that this is how it will work:

Squadron 42 will be divided into 3 Episodes. Episode 1 is what people are paying for, Episode 2 is what older backers get, Episode 3 everyone pays for.

Episode 1 will be divided into 5 Chapters. Likely backers will only see Chapter 1 this year. Each Chapter has about 15 hours of gameplay.

Dogfighting will be identical to what's already inside Arena Commander.

All of the performance capture done thus far is just for Episode 1.

Here's another question:

[QUESTION] How many actual hours of gameplay will there be in Episode 1 of Squadron 42?

It's fidelitous I'll give you that but who the heck cares, the Star Citizen Alpha has more content than most fully released games let alone some pithy remake of a game no one cares about... this is all Derek Smart's fault somehow.

as someone who briefly went to the same university as she claims to, the answers are "no" and "sort of" respectively. australians in general i find are more inclined to make fun of one another in thw name of humour - but her special brand of narcissim (and if reports are true, racism and homophobia) is entirely her own.

thats not to say australia doesnt still have some massive underlying cultural racist problems but she's definitely, ironically, a special lovely snowflake
