Hockey is the best sport but here's an opinion: watching it on TV is horrible but watching it live is the most fun ever! And playing it is the best. So there you go, it's a regular sport that has boxing intermissions.

Go Blackhawks, change your logo.

Derek do the thing that goons told you to do because goons are fickle and Matilda isn't banned anymore and I bet it will only take you like 5 seconds anyways.

God I really want to read the postmortem book on this. I want, nay, need more than some Kotaku article.

Welp thanks to this thread I bought and then played the new Shadowrun for the last three nights and so didn't look at this thread at all. It was amazing, and it turns out, was successfully funded on Kickstarter! It has many things a game should have, like orks, and magic, and grenade launchers, and really good writing. Also I guess there are two more of these games which were released over like four years! Incredible. I don't know how Jordan Weissmann does it!

Anyways, that's my inspirational story of how you can crowdfund a game and still have it come out and be good, so don't lose hope CIG! :D

That's an easy enough change to make. I went with "Marines" so the acronym would be SMAC, which is what I do to my face every time I see more Star Citizen "development" news.

But SMAC is a good game that already exists :colbert:

To this day my favorite part of the Stimpire short story is the reuse of "sickening" in the sickening closing sentence sickening.

quote:

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Just sickening.

I'm worried that we're down to one last wave of fun bullshit in the Star Citizen drama: the release of Sq42 and the subsequent collapse of the fandom. It's going to be sweet but it seems like everything is tumbling towards that now, and there's so little left in between.

Ah well. You know what they say: the candle that burns twice as bright is in development for 4 years* and costs 120 million dollars.

* actually 1 1/2 years clearly you know nothing of game development

To be fair anyone more than vaguely invested against this 'game' should be almost as ashamed as anyone invested in favour of it.

Personally, if Star Citizen doesn't fail, I'm going to kill myself, and I expect that many other goons will do the same. Derek, this will all be on your conscience.

Source: I have pledged over 30,000 dollars towards this game not succeeding.

--- CIG revealed 20 seconds of footage of a Player running in circles on a small patch of texture-flickering sand with (in Tippis' words) a 3D Bryce world in the background. Fans mostly went nuts (it sucked); footage will likely go the way of SataBall, Gold Horizon maps, Rainbow wormhole surfing, stretchy spaceship jump effects, and Pupil-to-Planet dangles.


I missed this and can't google up anything that resembles this, can anyone help me out?

Never seen 2001, but I've read the book and I honestly thought it was overrated. :shrug: On the plus side, I got it in a big compilation book with Day of the Triffids and The Demolished Man, so not a total waste of time.

The movie is really a different thing altogether. Anything by Kubrick is a joy to watch and 2001 is his finest. Really gorgeous cinematography.

The analogy is apt in a way, because like Croberts, Kubrick was a notorious control freak and redid takes constantly (refactoring, lol) and ran his cast and crew completely ragged. But he was a legit genius, and Croberts is a hack with no imagination or technical aptitude.

A little known fact is that Kubrick also struggled to get space station rings to rotate properly in his effects tests.
