Yeah. They didn't just act like it, though- they actually were massive space tards.

the concept of a race of not-humans-wink that are just big fat retards to everyone in the galaxy is retarded

speaking of, wouldn't the people who spend the most on this game be the ones who need it the least? Surely those are the people who would theoretically be playing the game all the time, fro years, so that they'd inevitably end up owning everything anyway?

It's that poo poo in the textboxes nobody reads, which is why every expansion just has one of the dozen main characters of Warcraft 3 get corrupted for reasons and turn evil.

At least they can't keep doing that for long without the whole "we'll go back in time and you can kill this dead Warcraft III character over again!", since they are running out of WCIII characters and there are only so many colours they can paint a dragon before it becomes silly.

It's some weird Pizza Hut pizza thing you have to eat over the course of watching Wing Commander. I think it's a personal pizza, a 2 liter coke, a cookie, and something else in less than 90 minutes. Basically, it's heartburn/a heart attack waiting to happen with the amount of grease, sugar, and such you shove into your mouth in a short period.

Ben did it when CIG streamed themselves watching Wing Commander on Twitch, which, ironically is against Twitch's EULA/TOS as its not gaming related content that the Citizens were all about supporting. However, they think that rule should only apply to people like Derek who was streaming himself doing live reaction/commentary of the Citizen Con event so they spammed the report button on his channel and got Twitch's automated system to ban his account for 24 hours.

A peculiarity of this race is that are hermaphrodites and are always in a state of pregnancy, children kill the parent when born, but retain their memories and knowledge, fetuses, are attached to the brain mother. Because of this peculiarity the number of individuals is always the same no population growth. Considered a great offense to kill a creature of his race but even more if it kills the fetus, take great retaliate against this act and who do take revenge but never with another murder they have a great respect for all forms of life.

If the fetus retains memory and knowledge, and a person's identity is just collected thoughts, feelings and experiences, aren't they just basically immortal beings that shed skin? You don't need to get into weird lore about a species' reproduction when you can have the exact same story without it. What the gently caress is wrong with these people?

e:And if they're always in a state of pregnancy why would they be hermaphroditic? They would have to be asexual.

the only thing with 'standing' in the stimpire is tortured balls and penises and standing is a misnomer. the stimpire is written bya loving lunatic who isn't banned on the rsi subforums. it is objectively worse than the hitler / satan guy and anyone who thinks derek smart is right but in the eyes of a hugely obese retard this isn't the case. unconfirmed whether being fat and unable to move from the llooming stimpire makes you more accepting of it - interestingly this is one of the few areas of human endurance that ben lesnick could beat me at the others being pizza, cutscenes to shithouse space games and loving his wife

It was eating Pizza Hut's Triple Treat box (2 medium pizzas, breadsticks, and the baked chocolate-chip cookie) all in one sitting. The 'while watching Wing Commander' was tacked on later.

I think it started out with the goal of consuming some promotion box(?) they have with two pizzas and a pizza-size "cookie"

A cheapo thrustmaster hotas x is a good starter stick + throttle. Sadly thrustmaster doesn't have a mid range throttle to go with their mid range stick so you have to pair a thrustmaster T1600000000000000m stick with a CH throttle. It'll still come out cheaper than getting any of saitek/madcatz "high end" poo poo and be way better and 100 times more reliable.

Berious posted:

IMO HOTAS are bad and lovely for controlling ED or any game really. They're meant for ~maximum immersion~ for commandos who want to pretend they are in a real spaceship/airplane/whatever (while wearing battle fatigues and saying over on comms a lot). A bog standard joystick with rudder twist and a throttle will do everything a HOTAS can with one hand. Your other hand is then free to type mean words in chat as you make people feel grief.

A good reasonably priced joystick is something like that badboy: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00CJ5FPTA

I like the Thrustmaster HOTAS-X T-Flight whatever a lot. It's inexpensive and it has a solid feel to it and mine's worked well for Elite. Just have to set one of the buttons as a modifier and you double the number of key binds you can do

Yeah, I'll probably grab that Logitech or the Thrustmaster set at some point, reviews and build quality seem fine for both and they don't cost as much as a Star Citizen Completionist package like many other options I've seen :v:

I love the fact pretend F-16 and A-10 pilots will talk about a HOTAS without blinking an eye. I'm guessing it's pronounced HO-TASS but all I see is HOTASS. Fingers on your sticks, commandos.

Nope. The movie is your timer. By the credit roll the box must be empty and its a solo challenge (Dont do it.)
