It's a fairly faithful reconstruction of how Hobbes looked in WC2, to be honest. At least if you take some liberty with what the pixels are meant to represent.

That would be her true RBF. It was a simple cut between scenes in an ATV. She says her stuff, does the toss, smiles, and RBF...

You mean aside from her believing she's no longer on camera and therefore doesn't have to maintain the act?
The context is probably that she's working on the stupidest project ever and it's not doing her career any good, and she knows it.

I can't think of any other reason for a giant orange cat man to be named Hobbes in a game made by Chris "Squadron 42" Roberts...

Also, if you haven't perused the "Systems are going to take 40 minutes to get across" thread on reddit yet, it's a doozy:

quote:

plus their are options of taking a ride on a genesis and have the trip done while your logged out.

quote:

By extension, if you were able to visit all 77 known systems it might take as long as 2 days, 13 hours, 55 minutes and 15 seconds :).

quote:

I'd also love to see interactive, net-based minigames.
Imagine you set in the course, and autopilot tells you it's 30 minutes. You lower the HUD (or get out of your seat and walk over to a different terminal), and bring up HoloChess. You can enter a random game (or play with friends) with all of the other people who are currently sitting on autopilot.
Stuff like that.

The context being she was in front of a green screen, they stopped the background effect, and she thinks she's off camera.

40 minutes, huh? So these immense star systems will about on par with the orbit of Saturn.

For comparison, in our middling star system, the sixth planet sits ~10 AU out from the Sun. The Kuiper belt extends to out to 50 AU. The scattered disc and solar wind goes out to ~100 AU.

For some more comparison, I'm trekking out to a far remote outpost in Elite, and from there to the centre of the galaxy where I'll putter around for a bit. If I get a session in every day, I expect to reach the station some time around New Year's Eve, and be back in regular inhabited space by February…

But if you wanted to go somewhere in a system you could get to most places inside of about 10 minutes, if I remember correctly. And you can initiate a jump to another system without literally flying all the way across the one you're in. CIG have literally got "fun space travel mechanics" totally loving backwards...

I've played very infrequently for sure, but I haven't been in populated space since May I think. I went out to the "Statue of Liberty" nebulae and from there chugged my way towards Sagittarius A.

Elite is stupid big. And actually beautiful. It's basically my podcast screensaver.

For most systems yes. Except Alpha Centauri, or more accurately the station orbiting Proxima Centauri, which you reach by supercruising across the system… 6,784,404 ls (13,500 AU or 0.22 Ly) away. By curious coincidence, this takes about 40 minutes. :D

…but I'm not sure anyone actually makes that trip unironically any more.

Every time Bioware does a homosexual character its always tacked on and doesn't actually add to the character; Like Bioware is going through a multiculturalism checklist before release to keep the angry bloggers happy. But now that I criticized Bioware that makes me a homophobe.

Really bad example because romances in those games have always been tacked on, terrible fan service (even in Baldur's Gate), and is the primary reason why sexuality exists in those games. They are doing it to appease fans and make money because that has always been the purpose of romancing in Bioware games. The straight romances are as bad as the gay romances. They are simply adding more of them.

Who do you think writes a romantic plot for a buff, gay elven rouge? A fanfic author or an 'angry blogger'? Who do you think are asking for romantic encounters in Star Citizen? You don't really need to do any sleuthing to determine the culprit.

That said, I'm really excited for the female model :awesome:
So I can introduce my girlfriend to Star Citizen and take her shopping for space clothes... of course.
