At first glance I thought Crobberts was slyly spying on his wavy hands competition , but not he was falling asleep lol

Remember this is the result of scheduled video shooting , that they could have easily re shot or edit the cut to get rid of Cribblers falling asleep

But no this is what they choose to publish online to show the world yes we are worthy of your millions

1.Commedic – Whenever someone shouts “medic,” take a drink.

2.Wings on Fire – For every explosion or ship destruction, take a drink.

3.Any Ole Commander – Whenever someone is given an order, take a drink. Take 2 drinks whenever someone disregards those orders. Take 3, if someone listens to the orders and ends up dead anyhow.

4.Wing Commanders – For every reaction shot of the pilots in their cockpits, take a drink.

For watching Wing Commander the "movie", the only logical drinking game to play would be:

Down a shot everytime something dumb/stupid/nonsensicle happens.

That way you'll only have to endure about 20 minutes or less depending on alcohol tolerance. :)

It's more than that even - Just in that first question, he veers all over the place, starting with "the jungle planet, the ice planet", then realizes that's a bit one dimensional and boring, so he says it will be more than that. They'll have magic zones! Where you need the right magic boots, or you can't go there. Yes. But wait! Hand-wavy junior here goes on about all the great tools they have to sculpt entire planets by hand, as if that were remotely plausible. Chris reminds us that planets are real big guys.

So my best friend who is a huge fan of bad movies (we've seen The Room together like 4 times) is coming to Adelaide (home of the best arble garble since she was a whatever) to visit me, and I feel like completely ruining our friendship entirely by watching Wing Commander with her, completely blind (apart from having seen the bulldozer scene).

A bottle of Captain Morgan will be involved.

Does anyone have any suggestions for drinking games for the movie that will leave us emotionally vulnerable and weeping, but not to the point of insensibility (because that way we can't feel the pain triple every second)?

Gabe Newell posted this on reddit, as advice to someone looking for tips on video game development:

quote:

The most important thing you can do is to get into an iteration cycle where you can measure the impact of your work, have a hypothesis about how making changes will affect those variables, and ship changes regularly. It doesn't even matter that much what the content is - it's the iteration of hypothesis, changes, and measurement that will make you better at a faster rate than anything else we have seen.

Made me think of this game.

And then try and reconcile that with what they say about ArcCorp.

Tens of millions of square kilometers of factories covering an entire planet, but there'll be a few landing zones and air control will give you a designated flight tunnel so you can pop into the shops.

I think the best part is combining this with 9 million NPCs with an AI equivalent to the HAL 9000 but saddled with human emotions and bodily functions. There will be six degrees of separation of course, with NPCs remembering how they were paid and how you treated them. Then they talk among themselves in regards to your reputation. Fortunately for CIG, this level of detail can be housed on the Jesuscloud.

For gently caress sake CIG. You're 4 years into development and you have nothing to show. A 30 minute video of 4 middle-aged nerds sat in director's chairs talking about vague ideas of 'this might happen' or 'we're thinking it could be like...' or 'maybe it works like...'.

You've blown through ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS!!! Stop loving talking. Go and show me these systems, show me the work in progress, show me the proof of concept, hell show me the loving design documents.

You're promising to make the most ambitious and complex game ever created and you're still talking about concepts for basic functionality like a loving logoff timer... or fuel rods for ships... after 4 loving years!

Do you know what I thought of when I was watching that? Those 'Relay' nerds or whatever they're called. Tell me, what is the difference between Crobbler and Tony Z sitting there talking you through their ~~DREAMS~~ and Dolvak or bowtie dude talking you through his? Neither are gonna loving happen! It's pie-in-the-sky, 'imagine how cool in would be' bullshit which they ask you to pledge hundreds of dollars to prove that you believe.

Don't give them any money. If you've ever given them any money apply for a refund to get it back. This is my Star Citizen meltdown and you can have it for free.
