hey CIG intern, let me explain something if you dont quite get it yet. Someone in skadden/crytek is feeding information to derek. This means any incriminating information on your company that is gotten through discovery will undoubtedly be posted on the internet. It behooves CIG to settle ASAP them moment discovery is granted, but please dont tell any of your higher ups at the company because that would stop the fun train

Watch CIG keep doin' what it's doin' regardless of this fact lmao. Seriously, you could shout this fact at Crobblers over and over and his hubris would still have him deny reality and go to SPACE COURT.

Hello,

My name is Frank and *long sigh* I am a Caller. I've been a Caller for a number of years and I am ashamed that it has consumed so much of myself. At first I was just calling simple stuff, like when the pizza guy would show up or when my toast was ready. After the addiction started to set in, I knew I had a problem, but I couldn't fight it.

For a time, I suspected my family knew, so I tried to make it a part of my personality. I tried Calling my kids grades, or their high school crushes. It worked, I think, but the reality was that I was simply feeding it. I was always wanting more and more to get my fix.

Eventually, I got to a point where all I could do was Call outlandish things on the internet. My wife and kids shunned me and left me a broken man. "They're through!" I'd shout at the heavens. "90 DAYS TOPS" I yelled... *long pause*

I just... I needed it. It needed ME, and I was obliged to answer its Call.

But, one day, I did it. I finally Called my Moby Dick and it was like *sobs* like a great weight lifting from my wallet. *weeps openly*

A good post

Rumor is they have switched engines and are busy porting over their current fleet to it. Once they get the new engine up and running in a couple of days they will start refocusing on selling chariots.

As for the game codes I sent out some work and some don't. I somehow replaced the previous contest sheet over the current one and hosed everything up, I apologize.

So in consolation here's <winner.jpg>

So what happens now? Space Court? Or does CIG still have moves left to make?

Oh my god thank you I don't know what to say.

First of all, a big thank you to my friends and family, without you I would never have made it this fart.

Big up no_recall for doing this competition.

A special thank you to Kayak for being such a good boy.

Finally, thank you Derek Smart for almost calling it (but I called it better).

I think that video is funny but I don't understand all the hate for French. If you think he's maliciously misleading people through his (pretty unbiased in my opinion) analysis of this lawsuit then I'm sure FAU has an Idris to sell you.

I admit to a certain nostalgia for that company. I was delivering a training class at their Sparrows Point plant when I got word my wife had begun labor on my firstborn. Class ended abruptly of course, and happy to say I made it to the hospital in record time.

I get that you have never worked for a boss like the CRoberts. The people doing it know it's going to be more work, they know that it is a waste of time, they know the asset won't be used later on but, for the time being, the boss is CERTAIN that there will be worm action in the game so you have to implement it. He'll forget about the whole thing in a day or two so you can actually half-rear end it.

Anyways, I missed the rubbening when it happened but I want to thank you guys (and Skadden) for the laughs. Their rebuttal is quite the classy kick to CIGs nuts.

I've worked for guys like Croberts before, but that doesn't make it boil my brain any less. Also it was in a slighly bigger system so we could just do poo poo our way, hand off the final product and be like "Oh yep, your (completely loving stupid) idea totally worked, boss!" which I suspect the guys chained to their cast iron desks can't do.

Changing from 32 bit to 64 bit wouldn't be that simple. Just like the CryEngine to Lumberyard switch wouldn't take 2 days.

It also doesn't solve the problem of floating point imprecision. It just pushes it further away.

I would not be surprised to find out much of the jank of the game is caused by still using floating point.

On one hand they're doing what any business would be doing in the same situation

Appear business as usual , keep selling whatever product it is you sell , and have every out ward facing public image appear to be just normal

Meanwhile we have cig continuing to promote and sell the very product that is in question of being legally allowed to be sold , they might as well just delete their email servers now and start prepping for the mysterious fire that will wipe out the LA office

"All rise," bellowed the bailiff.

A tired, annoyed judge, hunched over, walks in. He doesn't look at the defendants, nor the plaintiffs, nor the audience. He knows how this is going to go. He just has to get through it, he tells himself.

"You may be seated," he says, his voice tailing off into a sigh. Exasperation had gripped him for a week, and he saw no use in hiding it today.

"Now, we begin today wi-," he starts, but an airhorn blows from the back of the room. His temper had already risen all morning. He was just waiting for one poke to push him over the edge.

"THE COURT WILL BE IN ORDER!" he shouts, slamming the gavel down again and again, tripling in noise with every slam, every second.

"ya whoa," someone mutters from the back.

The judge's eye quivers, a vein protrudes from his temple. "Excuse me?" he asks, incredulously.

"ya whoa did ehp did eh woah did," said the timid voice again, but louder. Giggles are heard from the general area.

"ORDER, ORDER, I WILL NOT HAVE THESE DISRU-!" he tries to exclaim, cut off by a short burst of another airhorn, from a different corner.

"LET HIM loving FINISH!" growls Derek Smart through convulsions of laughter, tears streaming down his face.

Posting from way way in the past & catching up slowly. Too much gold to skip any posts. This one really really made me laugh out loud. The cat was on my lap and ran away as I howled with laughter.
