Remember it's only SC if it meets these increasingly specific conditions as my paragraph goes on.
Things like walking around, picking up guns, has green locker doors sometimes, has a yellow one outside airlocks, is being made by CIG, is literally SC
If it does not meet this criteria - it isn't Star Citizen :smug:

Captain Blood was pretty amazing, although like Knights of the Crystallion, it was incomprehensible to start with. Started with Jean Michel Jarre's Zoolook, as well.

That game, with its sheer weirdness and alien-ness, along with that brilliant Jean-Michel Jarre track was a god drat trip.

I found it utterly impenetrable and fascinating at the same time. I think I was actually scared of it

I especially like the subtle implication that there's just alleys full of guys trying to sell you dangerous knock-off Star Citizens made with lead paint. Like one day your great grandkid is gonna take it in to get it appraised only to find out it's actually a "Roiex" or some poo poo.

Did you guys invent this ratchet style belt ?

No, these no-holes, track style belts where designed in Asia about 20 years ago. Most of them use a bulky magnetic system that’s prone to sticking and breakage, and very cheap leather. Not only that but when we first saw the system several years ago, we personally didn’t care for the buckle design. It didn't fit what we wanted stylistically. We felt it could be a lot better, so we stripped the mechanism out and set out to redesigned it in 2012. Our patented buckle uses a sleek, spring-loaded system that’s very reliable, won’t break easily and is nice to look at. So that’s why our competitors’ buckles aren’t patented and Trakline belts currently hold 4 registered patents. Just because you saw a company on Shark Tank doesn't mean they invented it. You're not that naive, are you ? Thanks.

In 2013 we launched our first line of "Trakline" belts for men on the popular crowd-funding site Kickstarter. The result >> we became the #1 fashion accessory of all-time, and we still are today. Why?

Probably because they have a special group of supporters. (who believe that bullshit)

A good EDC (Every Day Carry) belt should be near the top of the list for those that carry a firearm on a daily basis. Not only will a proper EDC belt hold your trousers up...

My EDC is apparently:

A toothbrush and mini-toothpaste tube in a seal-able plastic bag.
Some fluff.
Half a blisterpack of Tesco's own brand paracetamol.
An old pound coin that's now worthless because they went out of circulation last week :argh:
A flyer from when I was in Belfast last November.

I'm ready for anything.

'Genuine Leather' is the cheap bad quality leather that doesn't wear well. All they're doing is adding a cheap polyurathane strip round it to strengthen it. What a load of crap.

You'd never sell that to a distributor, maybe a dollar store or something, but make it a kickstarter and build a webpage and voila.

Yeah, coming from a more advanced third world country (with plenty of real leather) , the genuine leather scam in the US hit me a few times when buying stuff online before I realized what was going on.

Fun-time is over.

but....everyone hates EA. Because they're terrible. Like if there's one thing almost all "gamers" can agree on it's that EA is terrible. If EA does the same thing as the game you are supporting that doesn't make it better that your game did it (first), if anything it makes it look even worse.
