**2 weeks.

There's a certain genius to the deception going on at this point, nobody thought during the design to allow store credit, on the store.

Anyone who actually believes that is an idiot, considering the system this was brought in to replace only used store credit.

Sounds almost as much fun as the mining gameplay.

EVE Online: Find asteroid. Target asteroid. Activate mining beams. Get minerals. Sell minerals on market.

Rebel Galaxy: Find asteroid. Aim mining beams at targeting points. Fire mining beams. Tractor in minerals. Sell minerals on market.

The best bit was how Beer asked who he was talking to so Sandi pretended it wasn't her, complained about long emails, pretended to pass the conversation chain to herself and then wrote long reply emails.

have you ever seen Derek Smart say that he doesn't gently caress animals?

Oh God no, don't make me read a Derek Smart blog post, that's how they break captured ISIS fighters

The doublethink is staggering. It took >3 months for someone to say "oh yeah we ignored our own rules and banned you for poo poo you said on another website, peace" and somehow Beer is the agitator.

I mean, what genres are we actually missing out on at this point? Might as well go full circle and throw in some RTS ala Starcraft if we are already going to do sim city.

So they don't have any proof that it's not real. But they prefer to assume that it isn't. This entire article amounts to "Nuh-uh!"

Beet Wagon posted:

It's not exactly like unhinged Star Citizen fans are rare. I'd be really shocked if it came back to be Sandi.


... I don't really know that it's worth the 'doxxing' to find out.

Well I wanted to get the Ultra PostLord package, but I have to wait until payday. I can only put off so many bills to divert money to Lowtax.

Yes.


Depends on what you're talking about. When it comes to CIG being a disaster and Derek Smart being generally correct, it's not ironic.

My point exactly. To you the 40K style looks goofy. To me it looks over the top and awesome. In contrast Star Citizen is just .

quote:

In more than 13,000 words he describes the origins of the Torquing Group, a business that was essentially the personal mission of self-taught engineer Ivan Reedman to build a marketable drone; how clever - though misleading - marketing turned the Zano into a Kickstarter sensation, galloping past its original funding target; and then the disaster which unfolded as Reedman and his colleagues discovered they just did not have the skills or the experience to mass produce the mini-drone.

...

He does raise serious questions about the video which excited so much interest in the project. Reedman denies that CGI, other drones or even selfie sticks were used to create a misleading picture of what the Zano could do but admits that the video shows features that were not operational at the time it was shot.

In fact, as I found when I came to shoot a demo of the project last August, the Zano never delivered what was promised in the video.

But it was not only potential backers who swallowed exaggerations in the marketing campaign. Kickstarter chose Zano as a "staff pick" and the tech news site Engadget shortlisted it for its best of CES 2015 award, even though the Torquing team could not demonstrate the drone flying at the show. As late as October, Popular Science chose it as one of its 100 most amazing innovations of 2015.

That's right Ben, compare yourself to Star Wars. That's the intelligent thing to do.

So did he say SQ42 was 3 episodes or 5?

I am not watching this, but did they say that the mocap for SQ42 Ep1 is done or that ALL the mocap that's been done is for Ep1?
