All Glory unto the Stimpire. Give up your arms and legs and embrace the beautiful agony of electricity that doubles in pain every second.

Tomorrow's episode of 10ftc will feature the first walkback on previous decisions, as CIG returns the money of a whale they found had suffered from a severed relationship due to his self destructive spending habits along with covered sessions for a full session of marriage counseling.

The children, overjoyed at being reunited with their estranged father, move a nation to tears.

I'm too lazy to edit out all the douchey poo poo we said in the interview. Besides, if I did edit stuff out, I'm sure someone would have cried wolf that I changed the content to make CIG sound bad, or some tinfoil hattedness like that.

Isn't there a 40k PS2 thing coming down the pipe?

Also a 40k space sim would be fairly interesting. What kind of stats do you give to a floating cathedral? How does it stack up against a floating ball of derelict transport ships?

Does it have a mixmaster?

There was Dark Millenium which was an MMO but cancelled (after THQ I think?), and then Eternal Crusade came along instead.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/375230/
It's essentially WH40K: Space Marine but Multiplayer focused. Right now it's just 32 players, they're gonna push for some bigger numbers soon but I doubt it'll be any bigger than 100 people.
It's the closest we got to a PlanetSide 40k game.

I guess it's a good job no one gives a poo poo about this endless chain of cutscenes otherwise people might question how they were ever going to release Sq42 in 2015 when they still don't have a single playable mission to show off.

How can they keep getting away with telling people poo poo is nearly finished when they haven't even loving started?!

It's funny people bash COD because there's a reason it's so popular, same with Counter-Strike. They're quick and easy enough to play for like twenty minutes and have a bit of fun here and there, with intuitive controls and all the right ways to tickle your tism like the famous COD "thwibt" X hit marker. Next they'll say Minecraft is poo poo because it's not hardcore enough (because they're totally the people who it is marketed towards, and not little kids).

These people are so spergy they might make decent enough programmers and could use their latent autism to better themselves, but instead they choose to create a fantasy in their head where a loving atrocious, impossible to pick up, tedious space sim will somehow change the world of video games forever

I'd feel confident assuming most people with major money in this scam ARE computer programmers (or sysadmins, or other engineers, etc)

It's perfect: a career path where skill in extremely specialized domains can supplant the need for social skills. Being a highly paid expert confirms their belief in their superiority and intelligence. This then is applied to literally every other aspect of their lives and further isolates them. They make easy pickings for a fantasy where they can exchange their money for belonging and respect of a social group.

Some of the narratives ya'll make up about the people involved are really sad and dumb.

First time opening my yap on here, God help me. I started a career in thread-lurking shortly before this latest SC thread came into existence... and have somehow kept up ever since. This thread is a miracle of comedy delivery.


Here's something I noticed about the linked Gillian Anderson "interview". As many have said, there was indeed something awkward and wrong about it. The penny dropped when I looked up the other videos, and noticed this...

Gary Oldman - Light's on the left
Sandi - Light's on the right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTuhr_vzTEE

Mark Hamill - Light's on the left
Sandi - Light's on the right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vqB5lD73dw

Gillian Anderson - Light's on the the right
Sandi - Light's on the right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vECofeHSmqo

Viewers intuitively know the two sides don't fit, even if they can't express exactly why. Our brains know "impossible" when they see it, and simply won't accept that it's a conversation between two people facing each other.

The lighting was obviously set up differently for Gillian Anderson's bit... and they went with the wrong lighting for their patch-up job, which ended up looking like an amateur-hour hatchet job.

Bit late on the response to this, but it's obvious from the camera work too. The orientation of where the camera is and where both of them are looking would mean that the camera would literally be on top of them in each shot. When you're doing "switching over the shoulder" shots like these, the subjects are always looking in the same direction because of how you have to orientate the studio. In the Srobbers and Gillian Anderson hack job, they're mirrored.

Again, anyone with basic film making skills should know how to execute this sort of thing, and if they were planning on botching together what they did, they should have taken photos of the set up and replicated it.

Seriously poo poo you learn in A level film making in the UK.

Why an A level? Just pick some Lynda.com or 10-minute youtube how-to video, and it'll be among the first things on the list.

On an unrelated note, I stumbled over this and though it felt appropriate. Although maybe something about project management and fanbase instead:
