A gun to my head, if I'm being perfectly honest.

There's no amount of alcohol that wouldn't result in me rolling my eyes so hard I pulled a muscle if I had to skype with those weirdos.

Sometimes their videos get tens of hundreds of views! (From this thread.)

Are you saying they're impossible to watch?

The most time I've ever spent watching anything made by those dudes is when goons were invading Dolvak's twitch stream earlier this year.

INN is so embarassing I can't believe Crobber hasn't sent Lando over there to bust some heads yet, really.

It's yet another day in the wasteland.

By the way, speaking of that Doom Resurrected video posted earlier, the documentary previous to that one (on Rocket League) has this this little gem in it, about 10 minutes in:

“If you just focus on your dream game, well, I've seen so many other studios try this and make their dream game, but you just get two or three shots at that, and you blow all your money and then you're out of business.”

Wise words from someone who got their start with modding UT…

What I don't understand is why this guy (and may others) can make post after post saying "X release is in Y days!" Then Y+2 weeks comes along and he comes up with an excuse and says "X release is just Z days away!" and he does this... forever.

Like seriously what is the breaking point? What kind of hosed up mind just makes up the idea "3.0 is done" and runs with it, and is 100% convinced it is true, we he himself made it up.

What happens to him if the game does not live up to his dreams, let alone CIG sputters out as the backer money runs out.

Not finding the exact time stamp but the recent video of 4 talking heads from INN I linked a while back had Erris admitting he hadn't had Star Citizen installed for most of this year. I think most of the most committed Citizens aren't actually that interested in pc games, which helps to explain why they fall for the constant "never been attempted before" poo poo that CIG lies about.

Some fan art being better than official art is a long tradition in games.

Star Citizen, however, is revolutionary in that *all* fan art is better than official art. Even the sex doll rabbit dude.

So the dude is living in dream land, and does not need to install and actually play the game, it can be an article of faith alone that the game is good. He is going to crash hard.

I still at least install the PTU version with every release. If for no other reason I can actually know what I'm talking about when I poo poo on CIG's fuckups.

This. The lack of excited testimony from evocati isn't all because of any NDA, all the Citizen hype is dependent on them not playing

Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

I always use "crobbler", instead of the more apparent "crobber". "Crobber" is much closer to the actual name, and "crobbler" adds an 'L' in from nowhere, but I justify it by imagining Chris Roberts as the McDonald's Hamburgler, who always ran around saying "robble robble" while blatantly grabbing and stealing and trying to get away with things. "Crobbler" also has a better mouth feel.

In addition, wearing a striped outfit might be fitting for his future.

Derek, spill some deets or just stop. Those tweets are just about you getting unbanned from fdev forums again, aren't they? Whatever they are about, they won't pay-off unless employees are locked out, there are pictures of people in blue windbreakers with 3 letters on the back carrying boxes of documents out of an office building, or investigation warrants are unsealed.

I think the INN guys will get off lightly compared to some of the streamers and the guys from r/ds to be honest.

This is the stream I was talking about

I tried to watch it but failed even skipping through most of it, it's far more painful than the usual INN stream because the non-INN streamer guest, in the top right, is possibly the most boring person on Earth.

Why you all gotta dog pile The Derek like that? Mr. Smart is a busy man and needs time to air out his new information before whipping it at people while it's still wet. Do you know how dangerous that is? I saw a kid get whipped with a wet info once in middle school and it slashed his back open (actual true story). So let it dry off first and stop berating him for being the warlord.
