I miss the old WMH with Eric and Rob and Mark.

TBH, its the only reason I watch Wingman, just for the shits and giggles from Wingman blowing off steam from all the stress from the Hangar module.

And.... that's the only module that was released on time.

Unfortunately I can't seem tell if they just smashed 2 concepts together to form this "Science SpergBoat", and the texturing work (for a concept) seems a fair bit lazy. Looks like a Hull series had a baby with the Carrack.

I don't know, perhaps playing ED falling asleep because of the boredom grind this game is, hitting the keyboard Alt f4 and then accidentally clicking on the SC icon just to wake up hearing Derek Smart screaming will be enough for people paying money?

Elite : Dangerous is a good game.

Star Citizen has better plot.

I personally think CIG is not breaking any laws, just yet. Perhaps we're splitting hairs a bit too often.

BUT, considering the TOS I accepted means Nov 2015 should be their delivery date. I haven't accepted another TOS from them since, then if undelivered, they would have broken their own TOS.

Amirite?

You should play Mechcommander, the first one.

Then think about if you would like a turn based version, that should answer most of your questions regarding the new BattleTech KS.

We went out with friends for dinner yesterday. Had to wait for him to "land his E:D spaceship first". Took a good 5 minutes, but only because he already was on his way to wherever he needed to land. Apparently you can't save in space.

Is this true? That would be poo poo in a game. My time is limited.

Untrue, you can log off anytime anywhere as long as you're out of combat for a while.

Just caught up with it all. You guys are either insane, or this is the best social game ever: intrigue, plot twists, terminations, horrible bosses, hazardous environments. This game has it all!

Star Citizen has already graced us with its awesomeness even when it's vaporware.

I can't possibly imagine what motivates them.

The dream. Sadly, if the essay about artists ownership of assets (for their own resumes / porfolios), is true. Add to it with these reports, they're probably innocent people that were tricked into the cult. Just like how Scientology works. You don't know until you're out.

Here’s what I think

The grey market is allowing this behavior from Star Citizen’s users. They are making money off many different sites selling ships. They have an incentive to want the game pushed back (since the ships will be free), and to attack anyone who questions the legitimacy of what Chris Roberts claims. When their own community mods (not employees) on the official forums do this, the “community” can not be trusted to answer any questions from potential customers. I will be focused on the grey market the next time I write about Star Citizen, consumers have the right to know that those answering questions about this game can potentially be making money from it.

I am disgusted by the way this Chairman treats its potential user base.

I am worried that this will kill the crowdfunding model. Which you can see that I support, fully, when it is used correctly. (see our Kickstarter Roundup)

You can look through these propaganda techniques and find he uses nearly every one of them: http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-propaganda.html

It feels like Chris Roberts is showing signs of being a classic Sociopath.

I find his reply to the Escapist obviously incredibly alarming.

I will never support Cloud Imperium Games, Chris Roberts, or Star Citizen personally due to what has been exhibited here.

I suggest you all look over what this Chairman of this company has said about anyone who has a different opinion than his own and act accordingly.

One thing can be certain:

You will NOT silence us. No matter how many times you try to deflect blame, no matter how many times you attempt to associate all of us together, no matter how many times you attempt to assasinate all of our characters. We will not be quiet. Show your books, Chris Roberts, and PROVE you have the money to complete this project.

I can't comprehend why /r/starcitizen 's initial premise is that "CIG is right".

That, and things like that more than anything else, is what turned me off of Star Citizen the first time I looked at it. It's just drat ugly, with way too much going on and no real aesthetic beyond "edgy."

While Elite: Dangerous has little ships that are simple ... and cute. :3:

And doesn't melt your PC.
