I was thinking more along the lines of them being autistic and picking up on neither the fascist undertones of the book, nor the fact that the movie is obvious satire.

Here's a fun question I want CIG to answer:

"If Squadron 42 does not sell well will there still be enough money to finish Star Citizen?"

A. Yes. Whales Citizens! We are pleased to announce the new ship "N+1", this badboy can go underwater to a depth of 15km and explore the ocean floor! Buy Pledge now!

*Note. Ship and water planets may or may not be added at a later date.

What is this in reference to? Neural networks are a really normal thing that you can download thousands of different open-source codes for.

Surprisingly they're more interested in hating Amy Schumer or the Guardian or Twitter or this week's "SJW" than actual game journalism.

Reasons to listen:

Sandi played Doom from 6pm to 5am 5 days a week and had a gift for physics and math. She wonders what she could've been if she applied herself.

Offered scholarships for Ph.D study all over the world.

She is a Gemini which apparently has some significance to her because despite her aforementioned scientific gifts, she believes personality is determined by month of birth.

"I used to dress pretty loud."

"I was accepted as one of the youngest MBAs ever."

Stumbled trying to talk about her Master's Thesis on "International Marketing" for some weird reason.

"In Australia, women are super competitive. But that just wasn't my thing."

"Chris coding. The guy is brilliant. It's pretty impressive."

She mentions her second thesis on "Marine Biology" fleetingly.

Sandi tells a story about Chris encouraging Sandi to not fly coach but to upgrade to better accommodations but she would not waste backer money.

This may have the highest lie-per-phrase count of any interview Sandi has ever conducted. And that really is saying something.

"Chris coding. The guy is brilliant. It's pretty impressive."

Sandi tells a story about Chris encouraging Sandi to not fly coach but to upgrade to better accommodations but she would not waste backer money.

I have to say, as cynical as I am about Sandi, sometimes the horror can still wash over me when I realize that's she's a real person. I can't believe someone can lie this often and this clumsily. She tells lies even over matters so trivial that she has literally nothing to gain by doing so. It is not calculated or tactical lying-- it truly is pathological. And though it makes for a comic character in a tv show (maybe), it's really just disquieting to listen to it.

And I'm just 30:00 in...
Please tell me you're making all of this up.
