I Saved PC Gaming

I did not solve it as much as I was pulled by the nose to the edge of the steam of knowledge and had my face shoved underwater till my lungs burst.


Thank you (you know who you are).

There is something going on and I'm going to be completely honest with you guys, stop loving with this poo poo and just wait. Even if you crack it you won't be able to speak about it unless you are a very very stupid person.

This is getting really loving meta. Does Derek know an interesting secret? Is he taking the piss and some of you are rolling with it? Is Beer in on the joke? Is everyone pretending to know something or pretending to pretend they know? God bless Star Citizen.

This is the Star Citizen thread. We're all far far far too far gone for either of those.

One does not preclude the other. In fact, I'd rather argue that one invariably leads to the other.

Huh? No ever pronounced Kage as "Cage."

There's a story about that where they had to go back and rerecord lines after someone pronounced it correctly and Romero made fun of them thinking it was "cage" and then having an oh poo poo moment when he was corrected by a bunch of people.

quote:

"During a meeting I explained to John that I was working on the end-game cinematics with Kage [the antagonist]. I pronounced it 'Cage.' Romero giggled. 'Who? What? What are you working on?' I said it again. Now everyone was laughing at me. Romero: 'Who? Say it again!' Me: 'Um ... Kage?' Romero: 'No, dude! It's pronounced Kah-gee!' Me: 'Um ... well, you better check the voiceover recordings, because it's 'Cage.' And suddenly Romero's face turned white. Half the audio in the game had his name pronounced wrong, and it was too late to fix."
