Remember when $2.50 horse armor was considered a noteworthy example of charging money for overpriced useless videogame bullshit. How quaint is that now?

So Ben's got his tattoo done.


I can understand people being nostalic for the Wing Commander games. I think everyone gets nostalic for stuff from their youth regardless of how good it actually was or how well it stands the test of time. But the Wing Commander movie? The thing even fans of the games thought was awful? That's mind-blowing. What I find myself most curious about is how Croberts reacted when first meeting Lesnick. Consider Roberts' position: he got to make his big movie, his big break into real directing, and it flopped. It flopped so badly that he had to settle for pumping money into other people's films until he hosed even that up and got run out of Hollywood. The movie has not become a cult classic, or even been able to find an audience as a "so bad, it's good" film. This thing basically ruined your life. Then you meet this guy who professes to be your biggest fan (in more ways than one) and he's openly wearing a replica prop from your greatest failure. How do you not think "gently caress off, you're taking the piss"?

The weirder thing is that the WC movie is, really, nothing like the games beyond character and alien names. Like, that Pilgrim Cross or whatever he wears... there was nothing like that in the games.

Dear thread,

The moderation team is currently very concerned with the direction that some of the posts are taking. Doxxing is not something we can condone or allow and there have recently been many very heated posts regarding releasing the personal information of others.

The thread is currently closed until we can sort out an amicable situation.

Thank you kindly,
VideoGames

Thank you kindly. Still a little peeved about being probated for finding an old online pic of Alexis, and seeing the upcoming dox fest was adding insult to injury or something like that.

Yeah - I think the Space Doors and rustic decorative touches that evoke old world charms through the power of reclaimed elm doors fashioned lovingly into desks and $2500 Aviator Chairs with leather bomber jacket-like seats that turbocharge the Flyboy Swagger of any in LA who sit upon it is really going to boost morale company wide.

It's like that coffee machine-- I honestly think the 300+ member organization effectively hit Turbo Overdrive as soon as that baby brewed its first cup in LA...

Some might remark that the disparities of furnishings and appointments -- particularly with the Austin office now operating out of a reclaimed TCBY shop, could cause the inverse problem. But they know nothing about Game Development...

This my parent's greyhound (Benny)



The photo was from when I still lived with them. At this particular time my parents where overseas so every day I would remake their bed and he would then ball it up and pretend it was my mum and then lay against it and cry.

They are the sweetest loving dogs. He's the thing I miss the most about back then. I went over to my parents for dinner last week and spent the first 30 minutes there just patting him.

Also he is a big one - 50kg (110lbs for you stimperials).
