Because referral links and referral contests have been a thing with CIG since the early days.

To be fair, though - MMOs are more fun when you play with people you already know from either real life or other games.

I actually think there is some positive here. These people are expressing normal emotions, shame and embarrassment, and are not being immediately downvoted into oblivion by the SCADDF.

Wow. These people are really bad friends. "I wait to sell my friends on this video game until the video with all the technical fuckups and embarrassment has been sterilized."

gently caress man, no wonder CIG releases their videos after the fact with editing. So these morons can reshape the narrative for them.

So they hosed with perspective and added some greeblies to the back of the turret but basically everything else lines up, including the major identifying marks on the chassis and the cowl over the barrel of the gun.

I was disappointed at first with the delay from CIG, but now I realize that this is actually a miracle.

CIG was running out of ideas, running out of time and money. Skadden's lawyers were phoning all day long, demanding to know about this and that, and Coutts' e-mails were filling up the inboxes of everyone in the LA office. They could only entertain us for a scant two hours with images of generic space ships and regurgitated faff from old 90's movies, and then we'd all have to back to the drudgery of our real lives. Hollow, like death. With only real games to play and our loving families to comfort us in our time of need.

But then, when no one was expecting it, just before the final flash of hilarity and gently caress-uppery that would send us off for 2017, the word came that the comedy would last much longer. Oh, and it did. The comedy burned brightly for 24 more hours! Far exceeding the limits of what we thought possible, the Goons' cups runneth over! Mirth and merriment spread across all the forums. Joyous words rang out from the signal boosters and the FUDsters, and for that day the Goons were more than satisfied by the offerings of the Crobberts.

And so it was, that on this day a new Goon tradition emerged! From now until eternity, on every 21st of December, we Goons shall light 24 candles, one for every extra hour of hilarity, and break our water mains, then get in a fender bender to honour the miracle that has been bestowed upon us.

Crobberts be praised, for he is the true giver of laughter!

Sandi's SQ42 dog tags. (not sure why this exists)

You'll notice she's in Squadron 106, but her Serial Number starts with 42.

I'm pretty convinced Derek's often mocked claim that 42 is Sandi's favorite number, is or was actually part of the SQ42 script.

This has been foretold in Stellaris:

Stellaris Glancing Hit posted:


While approaching §Y[From.GetName]§!, the §Y[Root.GetName]§! suddenly received a glancing hit by several passing mass driver rounds. The projectiles were billions of years old, and based on their trajectory they appear to be stray rounds fired from a neighboring galaxy. After missing their intended target, they continued on their journey for untold millennia - until today. The rounds we have recovered are of an advanced design despite their incredible age.

Won't stop them pretending as if it is all live on camera most likely...nor the shitizens from defending it as such, even tho this right here confirms the opposite lol.

But yea, basically what he's saying is: "We want to have shitizens comment on it live, while we also want it all staged and pre-recorded so that we get to pull off whatever smoke and mirrors we want and look like badasses."

10:1 the reason for the delay is that they couldn't even get the smoke and mirrors working sufficiently on time, because that's how hosed their game engine and 3.0 is right now. And 10:1 that tomorrow there'll STILL be glitches that they'll leave in the pre-recorded footage and cross their fingers that no one notices and that shitizens will defend!
