So, Ben Lesnick, the developer working on Star Citizen (and it's public face) tweeted the link to his personal website the other day. https://twitter.com/banditloaf/status/721130582361505793 At first, goons were like: "Ha ha, some funny food quotes for a fat dude." From the Journal of Ben Lesnick: quote:A new H&R Block opened downstairs and they dropped a box of Dunkin Donuts donut holes off at my desk to advertise. I'm slowly eating them all. They have an odd taste... a brown powdered sugar on the outside, but with an unusual level of crunch when you bite into them. But then people started looking at the other jokes on his website: Literally HUNDREDS of images of this woman. quote:-Anyway, it turns out my mom taped the news for me while I was away, so I have like a week of Kerri-Lee to go through... #13,502 Needless to say many goons thought it was hilarious and we pressed on. "There's always more. It's always worse." The website contained a detailed list of what Ben says are his funny jokes, that are "still pretty funny". Literally thousands of Ben's sayings. Here's a SMALL taste: quote:I want to bang Misty. #17,033 This is Misty. She's 9 quote:And they get to have sex with thirteen year olds all the time. Instead of once or twice a month. #21,244 But wait! There's more! quote:Poor Old friend of the family Thinks It's A Cadillac. #17,627 And it goes on, always more, always worse. We Star Citizen goons didn't think we should have all the fun of reading these hilarious jokes. You can find your own here: http://trelane.hamtwoslices.net/index.php?query=lowtax Just replace the search word "LOWTAX" with any word you like and you will get numerous hilarious jokes written by our very own Ben Lesnick. Please post the best ones you can find! P.S. Here's pic Ben gave us! *edit* I was reminded to add that he was working for a school system during this time. **edit** Ben made a statement about his website: http://banditloaf.livejournal.com/105991.html Because you know we all went through a racist pedophile stage in our mid-20's. ***Edit*** Uh oh. Ben is erasing stuff from his website! Good thing his stalker stuff was saved here: http://web.archive.org/web/20150314145920/http://www.hamtwoslices.net/kerri-lee/ ****Edit**** Some good goon actually checked out some of what Ben said in his statement and found it to be false. *****Edit***** Ben's "jokes" saved here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/4acb72f26cad04a030ceeae5fc9e219e ******Edit****** Good posts: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772600&pagenumber=8&perpage=40#post458831324 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772600&pagenumber=12&perpage=40#post458839561 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3772600&pagenumber=13#post458840292 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3748466&pagenumber=3378&perpage=40#post458849394 spacetoaster fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Apr 18, 2016 |

a hole-y ghost posted:is that true? why isn't he banned yet? Although many think it's true. Here's an analysis by one of our brave goon commandos: Scruffpuff posted:CIG has a number of accounts here, all registered in the past few months, that they rotate among certain staff members for monitoring purposes. Whenever something really bad gets uncovered here, CIG determines whether or not to burn one of those accounts to attempt to derail the thread. Most things, like DonutGate, are handled internally (editing the video, tossing in a backhanded reference on the next stream, etc.) Some things, like Ben-Ghazi, in their minds require a derail. The rules about what is and is not allowed to be posted are very specific.

kikkelivelho posted:To be honest these do look kinda bad at least without knowing the context in which they were made. It's a tough decision but RSI and Chris will probably have to let Ben go because of this, doing otherwise may cause damage to the image of Star Citizen and to it's development. I don't think context really matters when there's literally hundred (thousands?) of these rape/racist/stalker/pedaphilic/mysoginistic/etc quotes over the course of his adulthood. I mean, we've all said some dumb things, but that much? And to save it all? And then brag about it? Nah, "context" isn't going to save this.

quote:The Kerri-Lee Hackett photos were a running gag in 1999. I was a senior in high school and met her when she showed up to interview folks about a school shooting scare. I went home and dreamily told all my internet buddies I was in love and they teased me forever. One of them wrote a script for my ATI All-in-Wonder TV card that’d grab her picture during the traffic report and add it to a gallery. I recall it didn’t last too long, as she moved to another station around when I graduated. (I met her again in line for Phantom Menace and actually talked about this, which I’m sure was super creepy for her! If you can find this video, it me be the worst thing you can see me do.) I am going to kill that now—not because I don’t want people to know it existed (Ben liked GIRLS?!), but because she’s certainly a real person who doesn’t need old TV news photos spread around the internet. If you’re out there, Ms, Hackett, I’m sorry I was a weirdo! (I am still a weirdo, but I have a bit more respect for other people now!) Homer J. Fong posted:I think I had that ATI All-in-Wonder TV card too I have determined that Ben's statement is a lie. http://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/kerri-lee-sighting.21644/

He wasn't a teen (well he might have been in the very beginning). He was well into his 20's for a lot of that. heck, the dude just turned 36 and he was still making stalker posts in 2008. They're trying to spin the narrative that he was just an upset, sad teen in high school. But that's just not true.
