Who hasn't pissed themselves on a live stream? Why do you think CRoberts wears all black when he live streams himself playing his tech demo.

As the old limerick goes:

Milk, milk, lemonade, around the back a turd is clipping through your sphincter.

Hello, Commandos! I know I said I was going to quit making GBS threads up the thread with my ~~pledge~~ recruitment drives, so this is going to be the last one. All future stream shilling will be limited to the Streaming Thread in the LP sub forum for the foreseeable future. That said, here's our current mission status:

Though several key members of Goon Crew's A squad have been winged, singed, concussed and scuffed, we haven't taken any major casualties since Kosumo's unfortunate death at the hands of a drunk, incompetent commander. Several of our rookie recruits have grown into fully fledged Goons and we're on the way to tackling our first big story mission, as it's very likely going to bite us in the rear end that we've put it off for so long.

With the campaign having gone relatively smooth so far, I sense misadventure and death in our immediate future, so if ever there was a time that Goon Crew needed support, it's now!

Pledge your loyalty and get a kickin' rad Goon Commando geared up to take the fight to the ~~Vanduul Advent Chilldankli~~ Stimpire.

Get me into xcom. Give me grenades.

EDIT - so there's some SC content

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a bit of a fiasco with Elite:Dangerous as well? If I recall correctly, the original kickstarter promised no expansion packs, all future content was to be free. Then they realized they needed more money and so they tried to release Elite : Dangerous *horizons* as a totally-not-an-expansion-pack-it's-a-standalone-game-honest. The big difference beyond basic competence seems to be that Elite: Dangerous still has fans willing to call them on bullshit. People openly complained about things, and the white knights can't drown them out, so things get fixed.

That's what it seems like to me as an outsider.

No, that never happened. It was always going to have expansion packs, and even said so in the kickstarter. The fiasco was dropping offline play.

Edit: Ignore me, well behind it seems.

Because citizens have a fascinating tendency to transfer all imaginable faults and complaints regarding SC onto ED, and in return transferring all accomplishments and design cleverness in ED onto SC. They're basically playing the wrong game, but rather than admit that the game they want to play already exists, they use it as a scape goat to create all kind of imagined reasons why they shouldn't.

Didn't hear that from Citizens. Heard that ages back.

They are looking forward to seamlessly landing on moons and driving their space bikes around, just like the guy from PCGamer did, of course!

(MoMA though is not, as he does not actually care about Star Citizen and will not play it in 3.0, 4.0, or any point oh)

I think you maybe took the wrong things away from The Road to CitizenCon.

Allow me to redirect your attention to the true messages:

quote:

"Just do it!

"This is like the Star Wars game we never got!"

"Nobody else could do a show like that!"

"The Dune reference it just does not get enough live in sci-fi!"

"It's got like.... SPACEWORMS!!!"

"The game will come out when the game comes out."

"I definitely backed the right game!"

"If it weren't for you all (sniff sniff) I don't know how I could do my job."

"One of the reasons I backed the game and I know MANY people backed the game was to provide Chris Roberts the FREEDOM from publishers, the freedom from compromise, to do this things the WAY they're supposed to do them and to push these things as far as not only technology but as the best people making the game can push them!"

"We don't want to disappoint people but it's for the best."

"There's an old saying that "a delayed game is good eventually but a bad game is bad forever" -- crowdfunding lets us put that to the test. This has been the sentiment throughout."

"Whenever we do demos Chris is usually talking through the demos and he's not really looking at the demo, but if you see him, he was like looking up at the screen, and he had this grin on his face, you know? You could tell he was proud."

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

Rekt.

Now people will know to discount it as Pie Chart FUD from a Jurassic-era HTML forum populated by Derek Smart worshippers and alts who fear that that this incredible game might actually get made and thereby advance PC Gaming and rebuke the demonic publishers who are probably paying us to pretend we're not amazed and who knows they probably even had their graphics monkeys send us that chart it makes sense if you think about it.

(But thank you for the kindness. I don't really care about credit, it's just sobering data visualized cleanly -- but the consideration is thoughtful all the same.)

Originally I didn't have it, and left the TBH name untouched. But I felt like if it left the thread it could cause him extra grief, make him look like a traitor. That hardly seemed fair since it's just parodying fanboyism.

So minor adjustments were made so it for the F.U.N.

Whoever has this referral code apparently also runs the totally useful and informative, not at all referral shilling sites http://www.downloadstarcitizen.com and http://squadron42referral.com which consist of zero or one shill paragraphs, their referral link, a couple of video links (one dead), and links to free Star Citizen-based minigames such as this official FUD:
