With how things are going I would be shocked (with the voltage tripling every second) if they actually put that thing out. The narration would have to be as though it was a success story (it is their narrative after all), and I don't think you can call anything but a release a success. Hell I suppose in that regard, there's no conclusion to it.

An article about its demise like that EQNext one is more likely.

Considering they were filming it over a year or 2 ago, I'm sure it was all portrayed as if the game was a huge triumphant success.

So they will need to wait until the game is actually released to show anything

It will be pretty awkward because I'm sure by the time they have to cut out any scenes with filthy leavers in it, the only people left in the movie will be Chris and Sandi and maybe Ben

Only 6200 backers have played 2.6 Arena Commander Battle Royal mode (most popular). Only 480 of them for more than 2 hours and only 140 of them more than 6 hours so far.

So much for the greatness of the revamped flight model.

Star Marine novelty means 64000 players have tried Last Stand mode of which 5100 have played for more than 2 hours and barely 1000 have played more than 6 hours.

Given MoMA/Toast claims on his time in Star Marine he surely must be top 1% percentile in time played in the community. Way to go Toast. You are one committed citizen, friend.

The expected result is evidently enemies should not pause indefinitely, the targeting brackets should not pause and the Retaliator shield glow should not pause as the pilot leaves his sit or leave a pilot sit area.

1 I played multiple games of Star Marine on 1080p at high settings and my cpu overheated and my motherboard shut it down for safety

ACTUAL RESULT
Rarely a game will do this. In fact the only other time was with an indie game remake of System Shock original. There must be some limit AAA games put on the cpu useage as I can play those for hours without a problem

For my pc not to overheat and do an emergency shut down

This is hilarious, but what I think is even funnier is the multiple glitches right through the ship out into space not only aren't part of the bug report, but he treats it as something entirely to be expected (which it is, but shouldn't be).

A Brazilian grandmother has been praying to a figurine from Lord of the Rings for years without realising.
The woman thought she was praying to Saint Anthony but it turns out the figure was Elmond, Lord of Rivendell.
Her relative Gabriela Brandao made the discovery and posted it on Facebook with the caption: "The funniest discovery of 2016."
The post reads: "My daughter's great-grandmother prays to Saint Anthony every day."



On closer inspection, she said Saint Anthony wasn't what he seemed.

To be fair, that guy's just an idiot who has either clocked his CPU too high or has insufficient cooling (or both). True, most games won't max your cpu at 100% for extended periods of time but if your PC can't take that, it's not configured to be stable.

But both the purchase and sale need to not be related parties. This definitely rules out CIG LLC, RSI INC, F42 and RSI LTD. It couldn't be anything controlled by Chris Roberts. Perhaps one of Ortwin's enterprises if all the script writing etc was done through that. It is of course all speculation.

"JURASSIC PARK!"

That's another weird thing that the shitizens seem to just accept with CIG. They miss an estimated date and then when they finally admit, 'okay, that's not coming out as planned' they seem to think that somehow resets the timeline of expectation for that feature.

Case in point is 3.0, the release that was due by the end of 2016. Yet if you listen to the shitizens discuss it now they're all 'mid to late 2017', what the gently caress happened to 2016?!? What is the supposed justification by being sooo far off with their estimates? Chris Roberts stands on stage and says 'we aim to release this within 4-5 months' and then the actual release is 10-15 months+ into the future. And it's not like that's happened once, it happens every-single-time.
