Gat's a cool dude, but I draw the line at implying he's cooler than the superpowered President of the United Saints. :colbert:



Although it does suck how little being the President matters.

Fuckin' Zinyak.

Seriously though the Boss seems like she was a decent chief executive from the three minutes we got to see.

... That makes for some extra sad commentary on the real-world United States, doesn't it.

Wasn't he detailed as immensely unpopular, with Ben King being the only reason anything got done?

Eliminating cancer requires revolutionizing the very core of human biology. Solving world hunger is no scientific challenge, but would require a monumental elimination of all human corruption and inefficiency. Either is equally impossible.

Speaking of GoOH, I just picked up the PC version thanks to Steam Sales, and am hoping there's a way to make flying a bit 'easier'. It feels a little off to me at default, and I'm wondering if that's just an issue I'll have to deal with, or if there's some way to tweak it to make it feel more natural.

I dunno. It feels great to me even at the start. I did have to turn off the up-down invert or I can't fly at all. Maybe that's your problem.

Speaking of which, I just reinstalled it and started a fresh game and flying around collecting fragments is way more fun than it has any right to be. It's a fantastic mechanic.

I want to say there's eventually a way to make it easier, but it's been a while since I played it. I remember the flying being pretty satisfying though

It does become easier when you get additional boosts - at least easier to get back where you need to be if you screw up.

I'll give that a try, as that legit seems to be my issue.

I figured as such. Probably the other problem is that I'm coming off of a SRIV run, so I'm used to having infinite stamina and all that.

The main thing I remember about Gat in SR3 (other than his death) is the really dumb line about "trading our dicks for pussies", which would be bad enough if he was only talking to men, but he says it to the boss and Shaundi. :stare:

Oleg suffered from the same problem as most of the other characters in that there wasn't enough for him to do so he didn't really make an impact. But no impact is better than being annoying and unpleasant.

They're still hiring people. My only guess is they've decided to devote their resources to gently caress cancer in real life.

Otherwise I think they secretly built Freespace 3 and just spend all day playing that internally since they can't legally release it until that one last Interplay IP holder dies or needs to sell off the rights to support his crack habit.

I think some of the Star Citizen faithful would explode if someone actually made FS3 or a spiritual successor to it at this point.

They just combine franchises and reveal that the Freespace universe was just an offshoot of the Saints' future military projects.

The Saints chase/scare/become board members and force Ultor out to Mars, various Space Assholes on Mars then eventually bust up Ultor into Triton Dynamics/Han-Ronald Corp/Dynamic Metamer/PTMC, poof: stage set for Descent and Freespace.

If Freespace 3 were to become a thing I would hope there would be a recurring background gag about the rise and unsurprising fall of a crowd sourced project called Star Plebian. Bonus points if Vasudans make an occasional cat race or air horn joke.
