Microwave squad - they could obviously heat up food better and would just wait it out while the shock squad starved.

This is awesome, thanks! Not only does he seem bored, the only time he interjects is right after Jurjen Katsman(?) talks about the problems that people on the game design/gameplay side of things have when trying to take advantage of parallelism. Before and after it was all smart guys talkin' about smart things.

@17m43s is the only time he speaks (I think! I stepped through in 5 second intervals until I got bored of watching him picking his eyes, fidgeting, etc. in stop motion).

It was a junior level observation that didn't take into account certain fundamental issues when multi-threading a game engine... almost as you might expect from this project! Like a kid trying to say something clever at the grown-ups table to get some attention.

These loving people. 90% of the "what are you gonna do in the verse threads" are full of morons literally making up game mechanics that will never exist, but then there's guys like this that think they're going to be doing stuff that is actually antithetical to everything they've said about the economy. Literally a hundred times a day someone says "PCs are only 10% of the economy so you can't really influence it" but this guy is going to create fake shortages and manipulate the market.

Change taxpayers to "backers" and bonds to "jpegs", Curt Schilling with Crobots, 38 Studios to CIG and the story fits quite well.

But, unlike anything CIG related, something good came out of that mess.

Problem is I have commitment issues and no idea of how much effort it will take to care for this little fluff ball (the only thing I care for is me and a few fish).

Help me goons, you're my only hope.

Don't get just one kitten. Get two so they terrorize each other instead of you.

Alternatively, get one chill adult cat. Mine is licking my foot to get my attention and tell me he's out of canned food.

Really, you can't go wrong with any number of cats or kittens beyond "too many". Your local municipality will step in to tell you how many is "too many".

Draft Script for the Goonrathi Ship Startup Sequence. Feedback requested.

[Pilot] - Gruff and brash, like a mix between Han Solo and Josey Wales.
[Computer] - Posh British butler accent.

(Camera first person: Pilot gingerly enters the ship, grunting and cussing under his breath, sits down at the cockpit, and picks up a clipboard with a checklist. Starts pressing buttons and pulling levers)

(He pauses, and after a long sigh looks up towards the upper console and presses the “Power” button. Electronics whir as they power up, dashboard lights flicker on, followed by the Windows 95 Startup sound)

[Computer] (chipper) “Good morning, Sir!"
[Pilot] (dismissive, preoccupied) “There are no mornings in space, Computer"
[Computer] (chipper) “Well! That's rather a gloomy outlook, wouldn't you say?"
(no reply, pilot alternates between looking at sheet and pressing buttons)
[Computer] (helpful, optimistic) "Don’t forget to prime the airbags, sir!"
[Pilot] (annoyed) “Every drat time I actuate those airbags something terrible happens. Don’t you remember Andoras?"
[Computer] (a chill runs down his motherboard) “How could I forget..."
(contemplative silence)
[Computer] (trying to recover) “A-anyway, I ran a thorough root cause analysis and could find no correlation whatsoever between airbag actuation and that dreadful bit of business in Andoras. Frankly I think you’re being superstitious."
[Pilot] (flat, dismissive) “Your programming doesn’t account for premonition."
(brief pause)
[Computer] (timid) “Sir the hungry hungry hippos… They appear to be quite hungry this morning..."
[Pilot] (angry) “Oh CAN IT, will you potato??"
(pilot turns to HHH console and clicks each hippo)
[Computer] (optimistic) “Here, let’s have some music, shall we?"
(Blaring: “Don’t Stop 'Till You Get Enough” by Michael Jackson) *music below
[Pilot] (very annoyed, raised voice) “Oh, COME ON computer, you’re gonna play that, NOW??"
[Computer] (desperate, raised voice) “Sir, I feel if you could just make it to the chorus..."
[Pilot] (angry, yelling) “CUT THAT poo poo OFF MAN!!!"
(Music still plays)
(Pilot bangs violently on the console, music cuts off)
[Computer] (frenetic) “All right! all right! My word, we have enough problems as it is without you breaking more of my essential circuitry!"
[Pilot] (flat, preoccupied) “Your 80’s pop playlist is not essential, Computer."
[Computer] (under his breath) “A man who cannot enjoy The King of Pop is truly lost..."
(pause, pilot sighs)
[Pilot] (apologetic) “Sorry comps, I had a rough night... Alright, how about something a bit slower, eh?"
[Computer] (excited) “Coming right up, Commando!"
(Plays “Human Nature” by Michael Jackson) ** music below
[Pilot] (stops for a minute, wistful) “Ahh, man. I love this song"
[Computer] (also wistful) “Me too, sir. Me too."

(Pilot hits the "Engine On" button with his fist, ship powers up, camera zoom out. Ship launches unsafely up off the landing pad, only just missing a Sperg Starliner Cruise ship, and boosts out of frame. Music fades up, roll intro credits)
