I am going all in on Notch giving Crobbers a billion dollars for Star Citizen. Now that I've seen the options...and the way 2017 has been going--Crobbers gets a billion, then proceeds to spend what money Notch has left on mocap before getting booted off the project a few years later.

I've never had a shitizen confront me in rl so I feel quite left out now :( I fired one from my company ages ago because he was making other employees uneasy with his constant sales pitches and causing a health and safety inspector to nearly punch him in the face. (In the interests of the H+S guys career, I jokingly asked if he should wear his safety specs while he walloped the now 'ex-employee' :D )

I think if it ever did happen I would definitely piss my pants, not because of fear though.

Gotta admit this is kind of creepy and not funny like the Snake in a Box. The bare feet also are a bit creepy.

I'd just not go, nobody is going to actually get the reference. I'm starting to think if you cosplay it needs to be either something generic (steam punk) or something that's actually been released and people have awareness of it.

I could be wrong, so shine on, friend.

It's kind of weird honestly, the local backpounders' society for mutual admiration is too discordant for them somehow. If they think /r/starcitizen has too big a troll problem, where would they feel at home?

Why the second video is kinda funny is that it was literally the weekend after release, and it turned out the 'we uploaded the Beta' was bullshit.

Just remember: Star Citizen 3.0 features:
5 new landable planets
New moons, space stations, and asteroid belts
Trading
Cargo Transport
Piracy
"Mercenary"
Bounty Hunting
Diverse NPC Actions
Day And Night Cycles
Increased Mission Complexity
Economy Driven Missions
Item 2.0
StarNetwork 1.0
Subsumption 1.0
Mission 1.0

And they demo'd all of this in a live, totally unscripted gameplay preview in August of last year. So whatever they show at this new convention, after one full year of development, is guaranteed to have all of that stuff in it or they wouldn't be calling it 3.0, right?

He's right, you know. It is kind of hard for Goons to swarm when they can't fit more than ten players per instance.

Personally I think that Croberts is a visionary for solving the potential goonswarm griefing problem by making his game an unstable and unplayable piece of poo poo.

So if CIG releases every 2 month a seperate part of the 3.0 patch, can they do this until next gamescon?

That would be hilarious.

e: Like a seperate planet-Map for day and night cycles, or a piece of space to kill a markes npc ship and collect the body. Are the backers going to believe that you can just add everything together and the game runs?

Watching Wing Commander the movie has a greater chance of making you blind.

Sitting in an area with about 85% coverage right now. I assume once it passes in the next few minutes the Gamescom booth will get fired up.
