He went there to interview people. Got interviews. They didn't like what was said. He signed an NDA to not release the interviews he went there to conduct. Why would anybody do that? :confused:

While this seems strange, I'm glad he got a refund. I hope others follow suit.

Because a Goon was descending on C.I.G Austin and they lost their poo poo, who would have though.

So I've been playing GTA5 like mad today, just stealing coke, reselling coke, robbing other players for their coke. Ya know, typical GTA5 day!

I was zipping along on my bike doing a wheelie when I hit the back bumper of a car just right and this picture was the result:



Did I respawn 30,000 feet away with no recourse but to kill myself? No. Did I jitter and clip through the map? Nope. Did I laugh and laugh as my bike soared through the air and then managed to land? Yes! I did.

Star Citizen Grand Theft Auto 5 is a great game.

Every time I come back to GTA 5 I have a blast. It really is just solid fun.

"Eat by" dates are another pet peeve of mine, I mean you can use them to determine freshness but for edibility? Nah, your nose and, to a lesser extent, your eyes, are much more accurate, especially for stuff like meat and dairy products

They're not exactly hard people, think "fruit"

90% of the people i know have lovely noses, tho.
They couldn't smell meat that's going bad if you'd rub it in their nose.

Then there's the people who hide spoiled food by dousing it with garlic...

lol lazrin picking medical software experience as his trump card is amazing, there isn't an industry besides Roberts Industries that is better at wasting millions of dollars on poorly specced features. also medical field software dev is so drastically and remarkably unlike gamedev, it's a perfect example of not understanding how experiences you've had in one area do not necessarily translate to even beginning to understand the demands of another

but hey medical software == computers, MMOFPS games == computers, ergo via the transitive property...

I have a friend who works on medical software...he complains that his bosses keep randomly coming down from lunchtime meetings to tell him and his coworkers they've decided to add a new feature to whatever they're working on. Of course, this requires rewriting everything to make it work properly, and it's still due at the end of the day, so hackjobs abound. Sounds familiar, don't it?

I worked as a dev in a hospital for a few years out of college. It ended with me complaining to my boss, co-workers, anonymous complaint box, and upper management who then proceeded to never address my complaints. So, I then quit while restating all my complaints to the aforementioned people, still with no guarantees that anything would change.

They eventually made changes to address many (but not all) of my complaints a couple months after I left.

I'm like 99% sure you cannot legally deny the use of gift cards for purchases. Can a legal goon fill me in? I think with the "melted stuff" they can do whatever slimy thing they want but they lump melted in with gift cards and treat it the same on their site. You cant pick and choose what the customer can spend gift cards on.


Edit: I'm googling around and I can't find a precedent because no company appears to be stupid or arrogant enough to think they can get away with it by their customers regardless of the legality. Good thing CIG people aren't customers, they're a cult.
Only information that shows up is that giftcards can't expire and they may be worthless if the company goes bankrupt (RSI or CIG).

dunno if anyone's mentioned it but there is actually sorta-precedent. Air Miles has always pulled that type of poo poo and is getting worse, randomly denying people rewards due to age of miles, age of account, or anyfukinreasontheycancomeupwith. Also remember most coupons say you can't stack discounts.

Miles are their own special program "currency" that you earn by flying, etc and not "store credit" and giftcards aren't coupons.

I was referring to them denying the use of giftcards for purchases.

Every business I've ever heard of treats gift cards as cash. If someone gave me an Amazon Gift Card I can use it on their black Friday deals.

If space-sims regain popularity it's definitely due to the whale's who blew thousands on Star Citizen. It has nothing to due with mainstream successes like Mass Effect and Star Wars.

has an invalid opinion.
So PC Gamer will be testing Star Citizen on their stupid fast PC build, the Large Pixel Collider. They styled the case like the Ark of the Covenant which is a riot.

It goes something like:
i7 6950x
128 GB (lol) RAM
2 x Titan GPUs
PCIe SSD
Water Cooled

It will be hilarious to watch the PU still fart and sputter on this hardware, I hope they are appropriately bewildered.
