But he's a low volume twat, like the Tane guy. I know I'm in the minority in this but it's not like they spam the thread with their gimmick. I've laughed several times at MP rants either due to their timing or just for the sheer vitriol which contrasts comically with the rest of the thread.

Where are Derek's new forums by the way? Does he have a GBS and FYAD too? Is he going to run SA into the ground now out of vindictive revenge because he was slighted out of $10?

Sources, Backed down? For fucks sake, it's all made up. Derek POSSIBLY had one low-level guy who leaked some bullshit two years ago, but CIG found out and fired him (and two others connected). Outside of that, it's all a bunch of made up drivel by a failed game dev who tries ever so desperately to remain relevant and in the spotlight. And for what? The dude is in his 50s; he should loving finish already and live his life free and clear of this mess or anything related to space sims altogether. Who the gently caress cares when CIG will deliver a game? People who look at it as a failure won't buy-in and will move on. Others will buy and will either learn a lesson or get lucky. None of that should matter to someone like Derek Smart Phd (non accredited), with the knowledge to create massive and complex MMOs. The only reason why I think you guys tolerated him for 6000 pages was to trawl him this far for your entertainment. Poor sap never understood . . .

Sorry, but it is all real. I could tell you my sources but I won't.

As I said before, MP is free to poo poo on me/the thread/my dog/whatever as much as he wants, but throwing out insults at the mod team over the fact that I chose not to give him a probation yesterday is dumb. My genuine hope is to never have to give him a probation again.

I'd like to suggest a boycott of the Something Awful people from ever playing Star Citizen because they do not deserve the treat of playing BDSSE.

In order to achieve this goal, all the angst filled lurkers need to sign your email address in the file I will be attaching to this post. If we get enough responses, we will poo poo down the angst, angry anarchy!

Come on reddit, you can do this once and for all! Tell all your Star Citizen friends about this great opportunity! The more you spent the more your vote counts (so he sure to include your total spending amounts, including gifted items because those count too :) )!

I honestly can't imagine playing Alien: Isolation in VR. Just playing with a regular monitor (and surround sound) is still extremely immersive and the game stressed me out so much I literally had to take breaks from playing often to recompose myself.

What I mean to say is that it's an actual playable game from an actual competent developer and in no way resembles Star Citizen.

:same:

I don't know what level I got to, but uh.. yeah. At some point I was running from the alien, totally though I got away, then... WHAM, stop, look down to an alien tail coming from my belly.

And that right there is nightmare fuel from the early 1990s that all at once caught up to me!

Great game! I will pee my pants if I play it anymore though! So... great job in nailing fear right!

Between the bikini Drake girls and the zoom in on the WW2 bikini poster of the first video, I really have to question what sort of mind set the director AKA Crobberts has.

Their paid marketing firm was making ingress to appeal the IP to a broader base with it's show re formats. But yet again, like a broken record, the Wunder Twins manage to find a way to sabotage any progress.

Chris Roberts has a history of hiring porn stars.

His wife and co-executive of the company got her degree in marketing from starring in tickle fetish porn and likely more that hasn't been found yet.

I'm pretty sure Chris probably ends a lot of his sentences to his art team with, "...and make it... sexy." And when he says that, spittle hits the guy he's talking to in the eye, and then Chris gives his trademark half grin and wipes his mouth while sniffling. Because it's time to go do another line of cocaine, he just put in a full day's work with that comment.

Meh, nothing.

I just think he's a vainglorious boastful douche who creates shittastic video games, desperately craves attention, and demands credit for anything negative associated with Star Citizen. He has taken content from this thread since its inception to post uncredited on his blogs.

It takes a pretty pathetic Internet Warlord to say "I'll show those uppity goons! I'll start my own forums and they'll be THE BEST!" and then just lurk and copy/paste from this thread into new posts on his own website.

Like him or not, these are all obvious facts.

I would respect him more as a man if he owned up to having hosed up and just moved on. But that's one of his character flaws: Derek Smart is always right.

It's also hilarious.

Consider also that she was a nightclub "promoter" here in Australia, which is basically similiar work to a bikini girl in that you stand on a street outside the club handing out cards. It's basically what some wannabe models do if they can't find modelling work.
