I just noticed something, from this one video someone posted earlier:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19w8HFKsQn0

Those laser sounds you hear?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXiFjPGwmNo&t=616s

Straight outta Freelancer, pretty much the same sounds, they can't even innovate can they?

Compare it to ED's magnificent sound, it's just sad.

I'm guessing it's from one of those "free sound effect" type bundles and they've just used the same bundle for both projects. Kinda like how you can hear the Doom door sound effect in a lot of B movies and TV series, because it comes from one too.

Can anyone find a contact for Hilton's legal department? I can only find stuff for their Management arm, which is for people who lease rooms I think.

Jim Holthouser is the Global Brand VP, which this could fall under, his email address is listed here:
http://elliott.org/company-contacts/hilton/

Other option would be customer services (yeah I know). I can't find any mention of an in house legal department on any of their corporate pages.

Hey. I use the same filters for the mockups I do for RPG night.
Of course, I then shrink them to 1920×1080 to be shown on the TV as a prop — that usually reduces the artefacting to where it's no longer visible, but the stylised visuals still shine through.

It is wonderful that even the loyal followers realise that getting CIG to fix something is impossible, so they'll just ask for it to be turned off. That's how Star Citizen will end: the few remaining shitizens start a petition saying "We appreciate that making the game work would take too much work away from sailing around Europe and cataloguing Wing Commander detritus, so please just stop making the game and have our money."

Yeah, if the gif doesn't have too many frames I'd just do a rough cut around her for each one.

It's only 15 frames. I don't have the software though.
