in no way can you be a space janitor though, keep that in mind

I'm pretty sure the Space Quest series has that space janitor experience on lockdown, though

Here's an interview with Ben Lesnick from two weeks ago (I guess he does still work for CIG).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPzNkuE_VsU

Ben talks about how Chris wanted to set up the offices like an actual star ship?!?! He says they have their own commissary? Holy crap. No wonder they have that dumb door and even dumber furniture.

BEN, STOP DRINKING LIQUID SUGAR SYRUP!

It had the space janitor experience in a lockdown — slightly different. Viscera Clean-up Detail is probably more what you're looking for.

They've been acting like the greatest, hot-poo poo development house since the beginning, with the crazy office and their own yearly con.

THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING YET TO EARN SOME SORT OF "STATUS". I bet Blizzard and Rockstar keep that poo poo in the lobby.

My buddy works for Blizzard and I get to go hang out in their offices when I go visit him. They have a fair bit of stuff in the lobby, but also everywhere else.

You get game swag for years of service (swords, crowns, etc). Which all look very cool.

Seems like Lazrin would have a better shot at getting laid than Clifford aka Miku.

But I'm not sure what their story is; and I don't want to know!

Maybe they have YouTube/Twitter get togethers with giant nerd rage orgies as they all take selfies while trying to simultaneously stream themselves ploughing each other.

Robert Space wants to live in space. Duh. But is RSI a functional entity, or just a shell corporation of CIG? Is it something that produces anything or is it just something in the lore of Space Rome?

And lol Rome, noted good guys of history. Is the future in SC supposed to be dystopian for humans or is the UEE sincere? It's not a wry commentary on how we're the 'aliens' to someone else? (I think I know the answer)


I think I speak for everyone when I say, where are they pushing it? What are they breathing? So many errors (possibly intentional on behalf of the filmmaker???)!

The last time Maryland voted for a Republican candidate was 1988. They're so solidly blue (voting for a Democrat) that neither campaign bothers to sell advertisements or make stops.

Yes, I can see that too, a disclaimer on *screen*, where everyone can see. It's like they know absolutely nothing about game development.

Now, if we check back, we'll see similar disclaimers on the CiG videos as responsible disclosure. Along with the notices of expected delivery times for the items being ordered, yes?

Yes?
