This is my favorite part.

And now the show goes on another multi-week hiatus. They just can’t be bothered to do more. Chris and Sandi can’t even be bothered to show up anymore. They got $46 million in marketing funds and have never had less to say about their games, and what they DO say, they say on dimly lit sets in muted, apologetic tones. How strange!

Lando has really learned a lot in the past few years with CIG, he has gone from unsure and faltering, to now a master and conniving and conning people

It's really something to behold.

"The straight answer" --- proceeds to giving nothing in the way of a straight answer

'Figure it out together" --- nice, it makes the viewer THINK they're part of the process, helps to bond with the person being grifted

'Get as many of you all... hmm BANGING the pipes' --- yep you are all part of the process, look at all the help we need from you!

It's poo poo from top to bottom, and I can see Lando moving onto a marketing job afterwards for big tobacco or something else equally evil... He will flourish there

Citcon is in 10 days and Chris just cancelled the venue. They host the event at a public park but get fined for not having a permit.

On the plus side Lando just needs a scrap of blanket to roll over into and he is home

Not to mention in a space game any space ships capable of fighting would be capable of murdering stuff from hundreds if not thousands of km away

So their stupid space truck sam launcher would simply get nuked from orbit way before it even sees anything to plunk a torpedo at

Although I feel it's all set pieces they're making now for rexshilla to use so he can make more look cool clips

It's a cycle now they're locked into now, worse than before

Maybe this was all part of the final will and testament of Ben "literal walking corpse" Lesnick

He told Chris to implement every single stupid back of the napkin design he ever came up with. Or else he would spill the beans on the entire company

The patches aren't late if you set your clock to CIG Standard Time

Lol gently caress these people

No you see they're on time because the last patch was late. So we shift everything ahead a few weeks to compensate

These are the kinds of people used car scammers prey on successfully

Oh your car is over heating and blew the engine? Sorry it was the guy who owned it before you nothing I can do about it buddy. That'll be 3k for a new engine. Sigh price of car ownership I'm afraid !

does anyone know what the first game to have a seasons pass was?

I'm trying hard to remember, and it may have been a call of duty?

it seems to be allover the place now, it's the goto method to sell dlc to people before its even finished or released

People do that all the time with real life companies, cars etc

I know a friend that collects corvettes, when the latest special edition was announced he put down a deposit and waited in line for the opportunity to buy one

When he was finally ready for production, they called him up and he paid for it.

Upon delivery day, He drove it!

Wow magical what a time we live in, meanwhile all these idiots have put down their deposit (price of the dinner), sat through the sales talks, drank the free booze and watched the salespeople enthrall them with engine placement and other design decisions

And at the end of the day they have the opportunity to open their wallets and buy not 1, but 2 if they choose!

Shapcap "looks" like a normal member of society aside from his stupid getup, how does it come to the point where peoples self preservation skills against shysters like this actually drop off?

He has a blanket answer anytime it is blatantly pointed out to him that he is being taken as a rube, they crafted the entire evening simply to empty his wallet of money. And he talks as if the president of Mercedes sat down with him personally to show off the new sports car , and MY GOD he has first pick !

This is SO good, and there's no way in hell CR has done any coding on star citizen

but he maintains the farce himself

It looks like he's deleting part of the name of a function? Lmao nice 1337 hacking Chris. I love how focused he is on getting just that right, and how proud of himself he looks.

no one that uses a computer all day would dare put their glass of water that close

the guy literally sat down and posed for the shot, he probably wandered off right after that take and someone had to stop him from lurching into traffic

the man looks and sounds like a baboon and it's a wonder he has managed to get this far in life without choking on his own tongue

Gonna cook up a nice meal , crack open a bottle of wine

Ok first hurdle.

I can't get more than 1mbps on a torrent for the movie, there are only about 4 seeders

That right there should tell you all you need to know.

It will be about 20min to download, so enough time to cook at least

Meanwhile this : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8350360

Initial 10 minutes

The acting isnt that bad. I've seen much worse

The plot is extremely contrived however

The parallels between the real life sandi and the movie character are hilarious

She does nothing but goto movie auditions all day

Her husband stays at home and works on his novel , his masterpiece which he can never finish because of his deep rooted mental issues

I gotta keep going

I'm almost done. I found myself skipping through 5 - 10 minute chunks because the plot pacing was so slow a tedious trying to establish the end result , the flash backs/forwards were painful

The biggest annoyance so far is they spelled it prozack for some reason , instead of prozac

Daily restarts on servers is a totally normal thing for developers stuck in 1999


If CIg didn't claim to have 500 employees and millions of dollars for development I'd even say it was fine for a pre-alpha project.
