Ludicrous G. Gibs: Jan 28, 2012; Drinks?

I was going to thank you all for possibly the most entertaining thread I've read on these forums, second only to Brian-san from 2005 or so, but I think Fiona the catte will do a better job of it.

She's also making the face I imagine dsmart's going to make when Roberts comes asking for shelter from the shitstorm. Thbbt.

Exactly, what happens if they actually finish SQ42 Episode 1? They are going to just jump right into Episode 2.

Beyond the fact that Crobert's interest is in the cinematic SQ42, they're hosed technologically on Star Citizen anyway. I know Star Citizen is never coming out in any form similar to what has been promised, and I have huge doubts about them being able to even get out SQ42, but I very badly want to see SQ42 released. I want to see it be just be a wet plop, get critically destroyed, make no money because nobody wants it, and anyone that does want it is already entitled to it, and for that to be the killing blow, short of the FTC swooping in or straight bankruptcy. Chris Roberts managing to release SQ42, and it being a huge nothing burger and getting eviscerated over it, would be pretty entertaining. All the believers still waiting for Star Citizen while Roberts takes his ball and goes home would cause spectacular fireworks.

Now we've seen the script I really really want to see real actors (and Sandi) reading that absolute bollocks in terrible mocap-o-vision.

I long for Chris telling the world that it's the realization of his grand vision ever since he was a very small boy, only to turn around one month later when sales figures are in and say that it was actually ruined by things out of his control

I guarantee that several have cracked this - Derek has confirmation from some of them. There's a reason those people haven't said a word. Two weeks.

You have almost everything you need to instantly decrypt Derek's secret. If you can figure out how it was encrypted there is only one piece of information missing and you can brute force it. You can also just wait until tomorrow when he gives the last clue, but what's the fun in that.

Some people have absolutely solved it, it's worth the effort.

Derek, if it gets out that you leaked this you are loving finished.

I guess it was pretty loving dumb for him to explicitly say "I gave it to Beer, here you go, also here is some Davinci Code stuff to solve it, lol" then. Pretty easy to tie it to him.

I was picturing a big fancy automatic coffee machine that could serve a bunch of people at once. Still wasteful but you can see what they were trying to achieve (no caffeine lines for their perma crunch crew). But something you have to screw around with a taking loving lessons to use is just completely stupid and totally CIG

i absolutely dont believe mr smart would use the "two weeks" as a sarcastic catchphrase, much less one he does not mean literally

he definitely wouldnt use it to bullshit about having info he really doesn't just to rile people up and see how they react

The dumbest poo poo i ever did was to put some isopropanol in the ultrasonic cleaner.
It didn't blow up or anything (concentration too low), but it ate the gaskets.

The first thing I thought of when reading this is when I added lighter fluid into a charcoal grill that wasn't quite started enough. The realization of my mistake was immediate, then seeing the cloud form in front of me, and explode in a fireball as I dove away, cemented the lesson with absolute permanence.

I only use cooking oil, balled-up newspaper, and a chimney starter, to start charcoal grilling anymore. Pro-tip: Lighter fluid sucks, and use chunk charcoal.
