Dogeh posted:1) So I get to meet said Hollywood stars? 1) Yes, If you’re lucky Chris may be back from Monaco and might stroll through the office. Mind the handlers and security though: He must remain protected against potentially villainous commoners and goons from the refund sub. 2) Yes. Stop by Chris’s house when his previous common-law girlfriend/wife is visiting. I’m sure the marketing queen we’ll stop by to lend a hand or two 3) Yes. Not only will see Sq42 finished, you might also see Star Citizen finished along with CI(not)G, and your future career in gaming when that association graces your resume.

ecavalli posted:Nah, that expired in 2015: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/12/loading-screen-game-patent-finally-expires Probably because so few games have long enough loading times that they can't get away by simply pretending they don't. The last one I can think of that had them was Wonderful 101, and that's because there just was no getting around how long those load times were, especially in contrast to all the frantic action inbetween. The idea of using the loading screen as a training area was quite inspired.

Wow, look at that gripping hand action. Even getting the wrist into it. Crop out the spaceship part on top and replace it with Three’s Company footage or the Sears underwear catalog....... drat.....

kw0134 posted:Yeah, shock and surprise, when one party is all about being dilatory it causes delays in the case. (Though to be fair, some of the MtD stuff had better legs than I had thought, but the essential core was always going to have to go to trial if it didn't get settled; novel theories of damages aside, a contract case looks like a contract case.) Seriously, all that poo poo about the Crytek employees jumping ship and the conflict of interest was going to be difficult to argue without having something solid up front, and it looked like sour grapes from the get go, although personally it lends credence to the whole theory that Chris was banking on Crytek going under.

Sure thing, Chris. I'm sure the vast majority of people's first video game was your magnum opus about space cats and they're sure to recognize your grabby hand immediately. Christ.

The number of 'Pong' replies tends to really heavily underline the age of the backers. My personal vidyagayme journey started with this bad boy;  All variations on small blob interacts with larger blobs. It blew capacitors on a fairly regular basis, and was my first entrance into the world of solid state electronics, a field that would almost completely disappear.

Scruffpuff posted:Remember the Fawlty Towers episode where Basil's wife gets pissed at him and fucks off on the same day he had a party planned for their anniversary? He spends the rest of the episode constructing more and more elaborate lies explaining her absence - that she's very ill, and can't see the guests, but she's totally there and everything is fine, eventually he dressed up Polly as his wife and turns down the lights and tries to pass her off to the guests. One guest gets too close and gets bitten before she can reveal the ruse. Things spiral further and further into the absurd in true series fashion. John Cleese accurately described Fawlty Towers as, basically, 30-minute farces. But whereas that was just a short, high-energy experiment, Star Citizen is a freaking marathoner of a farce that'll go on for a decade at least lol!

It was at some friend of my parents' house. In my memory, it has the graphics of NES donkey kong, but I distinctly remember controlling it with one of those simple black Atari joysticks with the one red button. The classic 2600 ones. 2600 Donkey Kong looks super ugly though, so maybe it was like a 5200? I only played it the one time so its very foggy, I have the memory of the memory more than anything.

It had the graphical quality close to the arcade edition, but lots of people used their Atari 2600 joysticks on that system because they were natively compatible.

It's a shame those old Atari joysticks weren't natively compatible with the human hand. loving torture devices.

if they wanted a settlement or full-on Cryrekt and the votes showed unanimous support for Righteous Ortwinning. Backers chose this, Chris is just listening to them.

Rotten Red Rod posted:I love that Citizens still take pride in buying ships just to fund the game after CIG took $46m from the Calders. What i love about that sale is that 10% of everything the backers gave to Chris is now owned by Calder. What i really love is CIG now effectively has a publisher, albeit one with only a 10% stake and unless Calder put some very tight conditions in the agreement they don't have a controlling interest. But how many times will CIG have to carve out of part of the company and sell more of what the backers have given them?

Flip Yr Wig posted:Am I reading this post correctly when I infer that CIG is allowing backers to vote on legal strategy? Nah, he's just joking. But it wouldn't surprise me if certain backers believed they had some control over the strategy, the same way some backers will say "we are building a game with CIG!", as if posting on Spectrum/reddit somehow contributes to the development of the game or giving the devs money means you have some control over it. There is a cautionary tale from the kickstarter of ED. The guy who funded (i think) the largest amount during the kickstarter didn't get what he wanted. After release he was incredibly salty. For years he posted negatively on the forums. Haven't seen them in a while, i think they gave up. The lesson to learn is just because you are a whale and throw tons of money at a project, unless its a proper investment with a contract that clearly definies your level of control over the development of the project, then the devs have no obligation to do what you want.
