No worries.

The Thames picture has some bad attempt at water reflection of the giant 67 on the building but it looks more like a 2 than a 7 upside down.

Ben dealing with the growing crisis well there. I'm not sure if this is a sign of how little he does, or if someone at CIG has told him to go play with his toys so people can get some work done.

... it's not going to be the latter, is it?

So a bunch of CIG sockpuppet accounts just appeared on MMORPG, 13 of them in fact:

This was the first one


Who quickly got a welcome from 13 others...


And here are another 4 of those 13 brand new accounts:





All registered within 20 minutes. Same thing that happened on the Frontier forums. One of these accounts has *already* accused someone of being Derek Smart!

Because Derek is known for the subtle, un-noticable way he posts on forums.

Ben's growing crisis can only be solved with a superior belt, MoMA's on the case.

Well the community has spoken and wants it disabled.

I will say though, if you thought the game was broken, the tutorial makes the rest of the game look like a well polished product.

How loving difficult can it be to turn the tutorial off? Although this is CIG, they probably can't do that without the code vomiting in eight different directions.

This is clearly fake. No professional would do that to their career. Just another weak drama attempt by the Salty "Something Awful" Asshats.

Even if it weren't faked, its fine because he just torpedoed his career and wrote a bunch of lies about good people. He just doesn't understand games development.

I wonder if they've tried telling "the people in the trenches" to disable the tutorial? The poor bastards must hear so much crap that shitizens want that Lesnick waddling in and saying "Some players want the tutorial disabled" then leaving would be met with eyerolls and "Thanks for sharing that, Ben. You go play with your loving toys while we try to work out why people's ankles are disappearing."

The way that goes is probably

:btroll:"Hey can we disable the tutorial"
:colbert:"There is a tutorial?"
:btroll:"Yeah can we disable it, it doesn't work."
:colbert:"What? Who coded it?"
:btroll:"I think it was........I don't remember he left a couple years ago"
:colbert:"Give me some Squadron 42 people if you want significant changes to the engine to take place, I'm barely holding my head above water trying to bullshit and "Re-arrange plants" every patch."
:btroll:"Significant Change? Just turn it off!"
:colbert:"Turn it off? TURN IT OFF?! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT YOU FAT SACK OF poo poo? It's a coded sequence in the game, I have to....no look I'm not even going to explain this to you because for four years people have been telling you and your lord and savior Zues "King of Cocaine" Roberts what ACTUALLY has to happen when developing the game. It has accomplished precisely nothing.
