This sounds hilarious. What kind of beer would it be?

It would be a Swedish Brew from the region of Upssalla with a 'smooth' body and 'Pale' finish. Also very weak in Alcohol content so Americans can enjoy it without collapsing in a tearful heap of soiled under wear ..after two bottles.

The simple reality of Star Citizen

The Jpegs that were made last year and the year before now have to be fully realized as actual, functional game assets. To do this more Jpegs need to be created to bring in more money to pay for it. The initial funding has very obviously been spent on ridiculous luxury items and offices , an outright insulting attempt to get back into the hollywood film industry and preposterous Mocap shoots. I don't think that accountability entered anyone's head
I do not believe that Chris is involved with the Swedish mafia I do not believe he set out to scam anyone, although now they are probably pulling some dubious financial maneuvers to avoid the punters finding out just how little cash they have left . The simple facts are : he hasn't made a game for 12 years and even the 'games' he did work on there is some debate over his actual involvement in them. The 'High concept' rock star mentality that infested the industry back in the 90's is alive and well in mr Roberts. However , at every turn he has shown his total lack of understanding with regards tech, networking, the game code, the engine, the assets creation process etc. The simplest but truest comment I have heard about this fiasco is ' Keeping Chris happy is far more important than actually making anything functional or deliverable' this from an ex dev There you have it;

for fans of British 80's TV

Goons and horses

Stick a pony in me pocket
I'll fetch some .JPEG's from the van
Cause if you want the best 'uns
And you don't ask questions
Then brother I'm your man

Where they all comes from
Is a mystery
It's like the changing of the seasons
And the tides of the sea
But heres the one thats driving me berserk
Why do only goons and horses work
La la lala - la la la la la (etc)

We've got some half priced gladius
And lots of pics of idrises
Tshirts, travel mugs, CIG butt plugs
Mocap,man tits and hours and hours of bullshit
And at a push
Some Derek Smart Law-suites
From a mush in Shepherds Bush, Bush, Bush,
Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush

No income tax, no VAT
No money back, no guarantee
Black or white, rich or broke
We'll cut prices at a stroke

God bless CIG
Viva CIG
Long live CIG
C'est magnifique CIG

SC is a triple AAA production and you just repeated and confirmed what he said, dumbass.

Karl : Hope you don't mind but :-
- Are you a Game dev ?
- Do you know anyone that is developing this 'game' ?
- How much have you invested in the aforementioned product. ?

Karl .............

In the video game industry, AAA (pronounced "triple A") is a classification term used for games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion or the highest ratings by a consensus of professional reviewers. A title considered to be AAA is therefore expected to be a high quality game or to be among the year's bestsellers. For a title to remain AAA post-launch, it must be either commercially or critically successful

Apart from the mystery finances this 'game' does not fit the criteria

To quote one of your fellow cultists from the RSI forum:

'AAA does not mean a huge budget.

EA/Ubisoft haven't produced a real triple A game in years. AAA games are supposed to be innovative, be critically successful and a financial success. Very few of games that we call triple A these days are truly triple A, the term has been corrupted to mean 'a huge marketing budget'. '

This is about right; innovative,critically successful and a financial success:

Lets break that down

Innovative: Nope
Critically successful: Outside of a few hundred thousand social misfits ... nope
Financial success: .... well yes for someone clearly !

The toilet is right under the shower.

It's really convenient and futuristic, and since there's no toilet paper in there (and it would get wet and gross anyway), you can just stand on your hands and use the shower-head as a bidet after you do your business.

Dunno man, something not quite right about that toilet at all ?

As I said it tells you all you need to know about Chris and his vision. Even as much a the Space ship physics actually behaves like WWII fighters forgetting that they are actually in space. Lillard is 'Pull your eyes out' unbearable and I have seen better baddies in Dr Who than the Kilrathi.

He relocated twice, the first time to Austin you could assume he didn't know poo poo was hosed up and given his complete inexperience actually thought all the bollocks that they were spouting was possible. By the time of the LA move he'd have known what he was getting into, especially if the rumours of the Sandi/Wingman drama are true.

Since then he's been hard selling jpg's and making nearly as much fiction up as the entire writing team, I seem to remember he commented once that he saw part of his job role to project an entirely positive view of what's going on. He's willingly made himself Minister of propaganda, moved his wife across the country and tied both incomes to Star Citizen. He often labels anyone critical of the project a troll, if he didn't work there he'd be another Karl.

The only redeeming quality I see is that he does seem to get upset when friends ~~get fired~~ leave while Disco Lando doesn't at all. He's probably worried Lando is after his job/office, he is.

Just out of interest. Who the gently caress is that Disco Lando guy? what does he do and why is he called Disco Lando. He looks like hes on Meth a lot of the time and used to live in a dumpster. I only really know some of the dev staff involved in this .

The first show they did was called Wingman's hangar and it had terrible fan videos submitted. Disco Lando used to submit videos and they were better than the terrible average. He's had 35 jobs or something according to him, I think he joined in February but it was a secret or something for some unknown reason.

I notice he appeared in the office for a visit on an episode of reverse the verse in August 2014, so it looks like he was trying to get employed for a good two years. They gave him his own terrible cig show, The Wonderful World of Star Citizen, which was awful, he appears to love attention and to be more interested in making videos than a game. So I'd guess he probably gets on extremely well with whoever hired him.

If leaves he'll be moving stuff into his office before makes it out the front door.

So Hes about as qualified as the rest of these chumps to actually make a game
