gently caress keeping up with this infinite rollercoaster of posts.

Derek Smart, know one thing: You're doing good work and nerds should give you a second third fourth chance.

Also, I wish someone would do a cover of I am Rock in the vein of I Am Smart, because you deserve a little reward for being a badass. I would listen to it unironically at least 3 times.

Technically, 3 of those are not aliens :D (#1 is a modified human, #4 is a cyborg/golem and Ian Cormic, #5 is an AI robot)

I don't know where #2 came from. #3 is my favorite, a Prador, which are hate-filled intelligent crab-like aliens who think humans taste yummy.

That series also has the best AI main character in the later books. Penny Royal <3

I didn't realize that Cormac had been confirmed as a bot (Maybe in a book I haven't read yet?). I knew that Blegg was, but with Cormac it was my understanding that he was just heavily modified with experimental tech possibly originally coming from Jain-tech.

Original Deus Ex was fantastic. 2000 was a good year for video games: Icewind Dale, BG2, Red Alert 2, Quake 3, Soldier of Fortune.

BG2 was great and I was sad that I never got to multiplayer it with anyone.

I could never finish it because I was a dumb kid at the time and it was too complex

Y'know, I did some research the other day, and found out that some games actually have this thing called "Content" and "being real".

Like Space Engineers, which actually does the whole planets and space single instance thing. And is real.

Edit: Derek-sama-rama, what is your opinion on Space Engineers? They claim to be the first people to do planets properly in space games ever.

As a space games yourself, is this true?

Existing content can be reworked and updated!

It'll only take two one week, cause Keen does poo poo with their money according to a logical and open schedule they keep their player base informed of.

I wonder if we could quickly prototype a game where you play as Len Besnick, Gamer Extraordinaire, who finally snaps and goes on a murder/feasting rampage of GIC studios.

Would we be able to create a thoughtful and deep analysis of life as a fat man dying from fatness, and the struggles he goes through as he attempts to consume the world around him before the last speck of light is taken from his one good eye...?

Makes you think.

E: Holy poo poo I am revolted by my own idea. I would not play this.

Take "hatred" or what was that poo poo called, replace the map with a CIG office, put the stretched :gary: skin on all the npcs. Why make a game when it's already done, just mod it.

I was thinking something along those lines, yeah, but the purpose of the making from scratch was to see if goons could output a decent map/character/content spread before CIG can do the same, even with their god knows how long head start.

If the mockery outperforms the mocked subject, even the whales must see that SC is Scam Citizen.

A sad part about all this is that Ben wanted to meet up with me for dinner on his visit to Austin, to repay saving that ship rib WC4 prop piece for him.

Sad because I've known Ben before this SC madness, and I consider him a friend. But unfortunately we are on opposite sides of a very touchy situation over the stupidest thing I could have ever thought of in my life:

A video game production, with whom he works and I invested in, is running itself into the ground.

I'd love to just sit down with the man and bullshit about the Washington Caps, the UT Origin archive project, borrow another season of Doctor Who on Blueray, chat up about Jodorowsky's Dune, or hell at the least catch him up on what's up with my life.

But I can't, because it's a conflict of interest.

This loving game, man.

Friend Bootcha, you're an idiot if you can't talk poo poo with your friend and just not mention that his life will soon fall apart to the mocking laughter of a dozen goons.

Be there with him and just not talk about that poo poo, so he feels he can talk to you when he inevitably does need help.

There is no conflict of interest if you do not broach the most important subject that needs broaching.

E: If he's a true friend, you won't let this bullshit get in the way when it doesn't need to. No NDA can control who you associate with, and the burden of proof is on them to prove that your out of work socialization between long time friends (I assume) is anything other than just that.

Space engineers is great, there is a passel of talented goons who overwork their poo poo and show just how far you can take the current game.

It also encourages you to learn C#, though it is in no way required what so ever.

Not really, but you should probably give me some details on applicable reference material for research purposes.

I will watch your recommended animes.

Edit 2: I once tried to watch a boxing thing once I think was an anime. It was all about some dude who was terrible getting beat up repeatedly and then not being terrible, save for where the plot required it. Was this an anime?

I don't think I ever watched anime because I am culturally lost when I watch it.

Pretty scary to watch something and not understand what's going on or get any of the references.

I think everyone saw DBZ though, that poo poo owned.
