Hey Commandos

Did anything happen since the lawsuit was announced? The thread is bad to form so I'm guessing no?

No. I still maintain my call that, for the purposes of comedy, this lawsuit will be a nothing- :burger:

and will silently go away when CIG inevitably settles. Nobody will learn anything and shitizens will assume CryTek actually paid CIG not to expose how hard they got owned for bringing such a frivolous and mean and greedy lawsuit.

G0RF: Mar 19, 2015; Some galactic defender you are, Space Cadet.

YOUTUBE: Batgirl�s State of the Game - MFDs, Are They Useful?

(Just a quick summary of the latest video from the ever entertaining Batgirl.)

Batgirl down and out about the game; still bitter about losing access to Ben.

She makes her way to her ship because she wants to talk about MFDs, grousing further about frustrations with being shut out of the CIG loop. (If I recall she at one time spoke of an upcoming interview with Eric Davis which ever seems to have fallen through, as well.) She also notes the crappy frame rate she�s dealing with but plans to power through it so she can offer her critique of MFDs in the game.

BOOM! �What the hell was that?�

BOOM! �That just doesn�t sound right.�

BOOM! (She ignores it.)

BOOM! (She ignores it.)

Batgirl gets to the heart of her frustration � the game is a labyrinth of unintuitive menus and interfaces that make little sense and produce too much confusing navigation work on the player. Batgirl being an honest to goodness pilot pleads the case for using real world aircraft as a reference point in design.

Batgirl switches to a Flight Sim to show a Cessna 172�s pilot interfaces and use them as a talking point.

Back to Star Citizen. She�s in a Freelancer now.

BOOM! Not long after, she�s in combat, and the flood of battle music completely drowns out her ongoing narration about MFDs.

�But all in all, I think that CIG is doing a great job.� She�s eager to see the next 3 releases this year and glad female models will be in by Q4. (Or so they say, Batgirl.)

Some wrap up comments follow, along with yet more carping about not being able to interview employees. (Legitimate complaint Batgirl, after all, Lando happily joined the Space Bro show for an hour and a half just this week.)

Batgirl adds an emotional postscript. She gives her viewers more context about her withdrawal from the community and recent general silence about the game. Yet even as she does this, she serves up as classic a Batgirl moment as past hits like �death by door button� or �Batgirl the Pilot tries to land a ship.�

It�s the perfect ending and makes me only too happy she�ll be returning to regular broadcasting about the game after this period of understandable hurt feelings along with a testing of her project faith. I look forward to the continuing adventures and musings of Batgirl in the months ahead.

It's practically the main reason to own it. As a game can be a slog but in VR (with a reasonable hotas) it can stay fun for quite a long time, the implementation is done really well and the mechanics are also well suited for it

Okay so another annoying question. But your amazing work tends to provoke those. So what is your preferred instrument when doing these? Do you use a tablet and stylus like a Wacom or do you just mouse it? Also, do you use any custom brushes/filters for your work? I could probably sit and talk with you all day long about how you accomplish your art. But I am really trying to step up my Adobe game and like your sense of aesthetics when it comes to these.

      // Why is the blame cfg table uninitialised again?  We fixed this twice. - Alan
      InitialiseBlameConfig(GlobalBlameTable,512);
   }

   // Workaround for IsFirstTime being set to impossible values after second run
   // Second workaround - this crashes if we use 512 but works if we use 256, go figure

   // ReloadBlameTable(GlobalBlameTable,512);

Antman's first try at a helmet (which he threw away because he was embarassed by it) an old curtain that someone pulled out of a skip,some laser tag armour and a pair of designers wellies and office pants with poo poo stuck to them.

Yup "legacy".

Look at all that needless poo poo on the shoulders,legs,pants.It's like a loving liefeld level of pointless poo poo that does nothing.

Just trying to look fancy for the camera.

Sometimes at my job I'm tasked with fancying up the office for visits from high ranking executives from other companies, the press, whatever. I have to put up fancy looking graphs, charts, and maps that cover up the actual useful poo poo I use day to day, and my job because 100x more difficult for a day because we have to look good for the onlookers. It loving sucks.

They even made me do it when a bunch of kids toured us for take your child to work day. I was so pissed.

That reminded me of games that had a 'boss key'. If you spied someone important walking your way, you'd hit the key and a dummy spreadsheet would pop up, pausing the game.
Good times.
