So you can be a cat in this game? Wouldn't they need to make two versions of each ship so cats can pilot them as well?

DS backed Star Citizen but came to the same conclusion goons did 2 years ago. He called out croberts in a series of big spergy blogs. Escapist found some people willing to dump poo poo on croberts and ran an article that came to the same conclusion that goons did 2 years ago. Croberts wrote a big crazy thing tying in every type of internet attention whore. Since then every internet attention whore has been putting in their 2 cents on the issue. Goons have been laughing all the way to the laugh bank over the whole issue.

You can buy a commercial espresso machine like the ones in real coffee shops for $4000 AUD - $10,000 AUD (~$3000 - $7500 USD). For $20,000 you can get a shiny hand crafted Italian espresso machine like this one:

Of course no matter how much you spend they're all worthless unless you have a skilled barista on staff, and good luck finding a skilled barista in Santa Monica.

Here's two youtubes of stirring speeches for AAA titles slated for 2016 release. Can you spot the difference?

Eh, those aren't really rendered in engine despite using in-game assets. StarCraft 2 does, however, have a whole bunch of cutscenes that are rendered in-engine in realtime. Of course if your computer sucks, they will either look bad or run poorly.

Show them this one. I posted it in the thread earlier as it's rendered in-engine and is basically the same speech as in the SC clip except with actual directing and gameplay to show off.

For all those wondering how this is even a thing, Chris Roberts basically stumbled on to a way to monetise this attitude:

Derek Smart you are an evil genius and this it just the best loving rabbit hole. It goes down forever.

I will not be satisfied until Chris Roberts is implicated in every major video game disaster in the last two decades. Next we're going to find out he had a major hand in Red 5 studios and was best man at Curt Schilling's wedding.

Chris Roberts did ET: The Extra Terrestrial

The Patricks of the world however wont invest the time in learning about business as all that lies that way is the hard work of investigation and analysis. Which is much more effort for uncertain reward than it is to spend another column salivating on a manufactured crisis that touches on a social hotbutton issue.

What's even the social hotbutton issue when it comes to Star Citizen? There's no actual game so it's not like there's anything to critique.

Reminds me of old PCs. I'm pretty sure there was a Honeywell unit with that colour scheme.

I've never made a Kickstarter before, and I was hoping I could get some advice before I made this one live.

I'd feel more comfortable throwing money at this if a really fat idiot was the public face of the project.
