This reminded me of those old toy things, where it was a background and you had little vinyl sticker type things to put on wherever you wanted to make a scene.

Plus why is the guy on the ground checking out broken neck's rear end? :confused:

Maybe his superpower is that he's really good at picking up oranges, but it only works if he's not looking at them?

Sidenote - I woud love some of those sticker sets with Crobbers and the gang, but all the backgrounds are courtrooms and Scrooge McDuck style money pits

I love this thread.

I honestly thought it was a myth or an exaggeration. I thought Sandi and Chris had lost the edge, had eschewed the excesses of CIG's youth in light of their newfound exposure.

There have been many wonderous days in this thread's history but I am really savoring this one. Because now a lot of other rumors about indulgent financial expenditures are getting an upgrade in plausibility.

Thank you to AP for dropping this in!

It's deductible as an office expense on federal taxes, but sales tax still must be paid at time of purchase. Sales tax only really doesn't apply for a business purchase if it's something like inventory which you will be reselling.

I though caricatures had to somewhat resemble their subject? And why are there like 5 different face "styles" going on?

Maybe this is why he's a tracer, because he lacks any sort of artistic talent to create, only manipulate.

No. I don't think you make stuff up, Derek-- and I'm sure you've heard quite a bit. I've always taken the stuff you claim came from your insider sources at CIG seriously.

I'm just saying its one thing to hear rumors of a fable super expensive espresso machine indulgence in LA-- it's another thing to have a picture of it in place at CIG.

The more the record of extravagance is corroborated with irrefutable evidence, the harder it is for others to ignore. That's a good thing for you AND for us.

Yeah I was trying to figure out how many styles are in this, at the very least two.
I like how he makes his face the biggest even though it is the farthest thing.

Reposting question because I know how fast this thread moves:

Yo someone tell me what the current filesize of the game is now. And does it still have the problem where the patcher just reloads the entire game every update?

~30gb, but patches seem to add much less then that after it parses the files even though it displays the full size so it doesn't reload the whole thing. Alternatively using the file repair utility instead of the normal patching seems to work as an ad hock delta patcher, but no they don't have a proper formal delta patching system yet.

Derek he's right, all the game development experience in the world only gets you so far, us normals who don't understand game development want to see a stupid coffee machine to make it real.
