Yeah, you're right, 2001 is when it was rewritten as a first person. So, to wrap up _1 year_ prior to the xbox release is when they started to rewrite the whole thing as an FPS.

i will never forgive bungie for failing at Oni multiplayer

I like this last bit because it answers my question of why people who blink during an execution can't just rewatch it. I guess it's live-feed only and not recorded.

I'm just imaging a world where I check my phone and I've got 16 executions to watch in my notifications screen.

"Maybe I'll start with this one, it's got 16 likes".

The thing that's good about MMOs is that goons are huge shitlords and the guild will implode in a month and someone will steal a bunch of poo poo from the guild

My favourte goon guild was pirates of the burning sea, but only because of that cool guy who's name I forget who played the trial, liked it and ordered the full game off of amazon when his trial ended. In the week it took for the game to get from amazon to his house the guild imploded. When he logged in next, he and I were the only guys still playing and the 50+ goon guild he was expecting to be there had been erased like an executed stimpirian.

I'm still most excited that at some point after clicking buttons, you will look down and to the right at your vintage hungry-hungry hippos game. You will click on each of the hippos several times in order to feed them because they are hungry.

There should be a mouse inside the cockpit you can use. If you don't move it every 10 minutes, the hud and engines turn off and the radar is replaced with the flying toasters screen saver.

every failure of a game has had a secret build. that's how you know it's a failure.

Star Citizen is testing the patch the will fix everything right now! The next internal patch of DOOM Multiplayer is adding basic old-school deathmatch! The next secret update to Anarchy Online is going to fix all the problems! Internally, Bungie is working a patch to put multiplayer back into Oni!


no lie I cried a little bit when they took the multiplayer out of oni some secret builds you just wanna believe so hard

I wonder if I could turn it into a board game. It would make sense if it was turn-based.

In my youth I read a lot of rpg books and there was one that had all the rules for space-based combat with tracking current velocity and only using reaction mass to change the current velocities of your not-gundams... was about 10-20 pages worth.

Capped off by about 2 paragraphs of how space combat would actually work. Mostly the way you described, but it also suggested that fleets would actually broadside each other then fly off and maybe in a year or so their orbits would come close enough to have another volley. The idea was that a fleet would be able to react to the changes your opposing fleet would make to their orbit if you shot something at them so you can't chuck things across the solar system so why the gently caress bother.

Personally I'd chuck all sorts of garbage at the other fleet to get them to slow down or move somewhere/some way I can do real damage. The cat and mouse of laying traps and funneling fleets into traps might make an interesting game at that scale.

The reason I enjoy checking in on WTFosaurus is you can see another piece of his soul die every few minutes. Walking around that deserted PvP station forever until he gets fragged by someone who spawned invisible. Trying for literally hours to set up a team battle but failing because people keep getting booted. He gets more and more pissed off every hour of every day he streams. He's bantering less, he never smiles, he doesn't joke, he just gets saltier every day. It's like the world's longest Tim and Eric sketch.

you should stream yourself commentating on WTFosaurus' soul erode away

Big fights in EVE were slow affairs but they were fun and exciting. So instead of "ships" making energy or shields or hull repair, it would be FPS people.
The problem is what made EVE fun and exciting was the consequence. You'd lose a poo poo ton of time sink. In SC's case the only one with any real risk is the owner of the actual ship. Crew could care less.

the SC way to solve this is of course some sort of health insurance, much like insurance on ships. "oh, you died on a ship? well, you can't respawn for 2 days but hey you could buy a rush surgery...."

I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, they've been shooting this show called "Cast Me" which highlights aspiring actors on different productions. And I guess Sq42 is one of them airing Sept 20th.

I was getting worried there for a while. When you talk to citizens on the verge of becoming reasonable and ask why they still have money in it, they always say 'the secret build that's good' when they did nothing but show an embarrassing mess for three days I was seriously thinking 'holy poo poo, they're going to lose some money here'. Now it's all good though and they're about to make a few mil and the secret build lives on.

that's too clever a plan for cig to come up intentionally
