Marching Powder is objectively the worst poster known. He also needs to learn how a keyboard works.

Here's the real question though...

If Ben had to choose between living in a world without Wing Commander, or a world without junkfood, which would he choose?

Asteroids on the Atari 2600 is a more realistic space sim than Wing Commander.

You mean the one from the best chili thread ever? Here it is:

quote:

1 & 1/2 to 2 lbs of ground PORK (perfect way to uncover jews)
2 packages of french onion soup mix (be prepared for your chili to surrender)
2 tablespoons of chili powder (less if you're a baby, more if you're a man)
4 teaspoons of ground cumin (omit this and I will devour your soul)
1 teaspoon of black pepper (slightly racist)
1/2 teaspoon of salt (or none if you're heaving a heart attack right now)
6 ejaculations (squirts) of Tabasco sauce
1 21-ounce can of red beans and 1 21-ounce can of black beans (I have a dream)
2 6-ounce cans of tomato paste with garlic (regular tomato paste = you're an rear end in a top hat)
2 8-ounce cans of tomato sauce (real men need more than just paste)
1 yellow, orange or red pepper, chopped up (green peppers are Satan's taint)
1 package of sliced mushrooms (yes, you can slice your own mushrooms, smartass)

Instructions:

Put the meat in a huge chili pot and brown it over medium heat
Add 4 cups of water and the french onion soup mix. Stir and let simmer for 10 minutes
Stir in the spices and the Tabasco and simmer for another minute or two
Add the beans, the mushrooms and the chopped pepper
Turn to low and let simmer for at least 20 minutes, 40 is better, stirring every 5-10
Call your mother and tell her she's not allowed to hug you anymore

e: I had Star Raiders II. Got it free on the front of a copy of Your Sinclair. Still a better space game than Star Citizen, but then what isn't?

Hey, morons, come join in. You can insult Derek to his face instead of chattering to each other. It's just a loving video game. It's not a war anymore since everyone got the refunds they forced CIG to give. Just enjoy the ride.

Why do you think anyone really gives a poo poo about Derek's junk here? That part I can't fathom. The thread was the same before as after him. Were we all sleeper agents waiting to be activated?

When was the MMO deal going down?
Man, that was a long time ago. It was right around the same time World of Warcraft came out. The reason that The Expanse is sci-fi is because our feeling was there's no way to compete with World of Warcraft in the fantasy setting. We had to do something else. That's why we decided to go sci-fi. It would have been an incredibly ambitious game. EVE came out and it had the same sort of feel as what we wanted, but you never get out of your ship. Your character is a space ship. What we were proposing was more like... What's that one that they've been in development for a thousand years that was a giant Kickstarter?

As if original ideas don't exist. Even just in execution of the same tired old tropes can you demonstrate vision.

Crobbler has an utter lack of vision. His idea for this game is a universe simulator. You can swap him and any teenager ideas guy and get the same result. Vision would have been successfully executing what they pretended were their original plans. Being the worlds shittiest project manager is secondary to the fact: even he has no idea what he is making.

That was the first proper arcade cabinet game I played, and it had some epic bassy sound (much better than what the vid can reveal), had to wait in a queue to get to it in an arcade that still to this day exists and apparently still has the machine locked away in a basement :D

Good to see it being fondly remembered. :)

Vision would have been successfully executing what they pretended were their original plans. Being the worlds shittiest project manager is secondary to the fact: even he has no idea what he is making.

I think it is the reverse: he has a good idea what he is making (i.e: his micromanagement and the "Art/graphics" first development), but his total incompetence at project management prevents anything from ever being completed. Having an idea is worthless, execution on the idea matters. CR can't manage that despite being given 100+ million to do so.

Everything Blizzard is famous for (Diablo, Warcraft, Overwatch, Starcraft) are totally unoriginal and derivative. There is not a single unique idea in anything Bliz has ever done. But the execution on those games is phenomenal so no one gives a gently caress.
