reading the reddit thread on star marine is so delicious. What's particularly great is that on top of the news about the cancellation, Chris Roberts' contempt for the backers was openly exposed, and people who don't even care about Star Marine are weirded out by it. And the posts discussing how disconcerting it is are being massively upvoted.

Is Chris Roberts going to let popular criticism of his attitude go by without a response? I really, really doubt it. :fap:
Man, he's been gilded 4 times now- I've never seen that happen.

Emergent lucidity on a popular Star Citizen thread -- en masse no less -- is highly disorienting. I want to believe this is a turning point of some kind-- yet it's hard to believe that, given that they seem most comfortable in a state of cognitive dissonance.

I guess we watch the funding tracker over the next few days and weeks and see.

Sandi has a new thing listed on her resume site called 'Lagos 2035'. There is nothing on IMDB, and hardly any mention of it on google. The most detailed description I got was from the site of one of the other actors: http://www.dinawilson.com/


Wasn't that the time when Sandi 'I never take a day off' Gardiner was sporting that fake tattoo on her neck? Wasn't November a busy time for CIG? Weren't there months worth of CS tickets to respond to, and JPG ships to market?

Here's a bit more on that. I kinda wanted here more about this despite Sandi Gardner's involvement, since bringing up the Nigerian city of Lagos in the future is a great way to pique my interest.

quote:

Casting "Lagos 235," a speculative TV show with a strong emphasis on ethnically-diverse actors and representation. Filmmaker states: "This is created in conjunction with world-famous artist Alex McDowell and the World Building Institute." Synopsis: The world has changed. An environmental and economic disaster has reshaped the landscape of the entire world. Lagos, Nigeria has become Rome--the African Gotham. Water is running out. Crime is on the rise. And drama is at an all-time high. "Blade Runner" reborn in the heart of Africa.

Sounds a little compelling. Alex McDowell didn't immediately ring any bells but he's the production designer involved in stuff like Fight Club, Minority Report, The Crow, and Watchmen, so it sounds like something he's probably trying to get a director or production credit on. Apparently, the audition dates were November 21-23.

I wrote the entire thing in under 45 minutes, which is impressive since I'm so rusty and haven't published an article in like a decade. I literally jumped out of bed and ran to my computer when I got the idea to write a SC article that focused more on the insane fans than the game itself. Sorry if I'm blabbing too much, but it just felt great to let loose and write, like back in 2002.

And yes, somebody please put it on Reddit.

Actual quotes from Blizzard as to why they cancelled Titan:

"So we set out to make the most ambitious thing that you could possibly imagine. And it didn't come together."

"The discipline of knowing when to quit is important,"

Alright gents, this is a bloody long Effort Post that remains, despite considerable time spent, incomplete. But I figured it would be worth putting some of the key Star Marine dates into a single hyperlinked timeline. Forgive me in advance for minor errors. I know most of this isn't news to the Regulars here; my hope is to enlighten the casual visitors, particularly those who are skeptical of our skepticism. I may be overestimating the power of deductive reasoning here.

If so, drat you hopelessly irrational nerds! :argh:
