Hello all, I only recently found out about this thread and have just read like 100 pages to catch up. It's amazing. Basically I seen the original star citizen kickstarter and wondered what idiot would back it, then years later now I came to the forum to look for another game and clicked this link out of curiosity. Holy poo poo I've missed so much comedy over the years that it's tragic.

That's my star citizen story, thanks for reading. Parp bless.

Dear Mr Smart,

In your humble opinion what would be the absolute stupidest thing that cig could do and which would cause the most self inflicted damage?

Please state publicly here and on twitter so that they feel compelled to do it and prove you wrong.

Greetings.

For additional comedy, watch all of these if you haven't already.

Also all of Major Tom's videos.

Thank you for these, they're terrific.

Watching Crobbers try and play his own game in a few videos has made me realize he is the mole feeding information to Derek.

The dream is dead and he knows it. The madness must end but Sandi keeps making him promise more and more while putting spaceship jpeg's on "sale" to keep the money flowing.

Chris knows it has to stop, he just does not know how to stop her.

I think there has just been some confusion.

Ryan Archer did not go to a College to study art. Ryan Archer went to a collage as a source of his art.








I apologize if this joke has been used, I am still like 10 pages in the past. If it has been used please just pretend it was run through a photoshop filter and signed Ryan Archer tyvm.

Did anyone every reveal what Chris Roberts was saying about E:D?

Maybe E:D is the game a coked up Croberts is playing and then when it's time to get sober-ish to interact with Star Citizen that's why he seems so lost. It would also explain why he thinks so highly of "his game".

Chris Roberts is suffering from Paarpinsons Disease and you are all monsters for mocking bis ailment.

Symptoms of Paarpinsons include flailing of the hands, inability to stop oneself from saying whatever is on your mind, and appearing high on amphetamines.

Figuring no need for a professional, Chris Roberts does all of the grabby hands mocap himself and using his own gestures.

Normal players assume the constant wild flailing of the arms is a bug and actual interactions are nearly impossible but true citizens revel in the chance to feel more connected to their prophet.

Squadron 42, it's going to be an open sandbox with an incredible overarching story and cinematics!

Maybe less of a playground sandbox and just a little backyard one, still plenty of stuff to do.

It's being cut down, now more of a Litterbox size but the cinematics ate there !

Ok, the cat and the sand have been cut. It's now a rail game reusing the wing commander movie script, 10 hour director cut version. Seriously, it's just a cat turd at this point.
