And the game still won't come out.

But yes, season 2 is very good so far. Season 1 was pretty terrible for how badly they butchered the books. I mean, they're still doing it for season two, but it's television, and for what it is, season 2 is a lot more interesting. Sometimes all you have time for is to produce a MVP.

Thanks for the idiotic reply dumbass.

I don't see any patches being used in Star Marine like in the expanse. Some fidelitious sim you're building over there.

:smuggo:

ps. I can't remember ep 1 cos I'm an alcoholic but I remembered the space debris when they pew pewd the guys pretending to be on a peace mission at eros

Yeah but it takes like 20-30 shots at least to put a commando down even if you hit them in the exact same spot, and who in their right mind has that number of patches to plug small issues with?

Well, apart from CIG.

Episode one - Martians did a training run where that one chick got shot up or something. It seemed like she took a few shots with her armor.

I would like to motion that the "Star Citizen" picture be replaced with the more appropriate :

Thusly, once you have it you simply inhale at it's contents until the dreams happen, the tube's worth about the same as most limited edition rare shelf stock digital LTI chariots too.

Nah. I'm sure they're fine but I'm cool having the author writing the show with the knowledge of how its going to go and him setting things up in a format he would prefer with hindsight

agreed

I picture that exchange as everyone at the table laughing but chris sitting there with his arms crossed and his thumb like head bowed with a scrunched face and just blurts out, "the worm WAS NOT A JOKE" silencing the room while they begin regressing their defiance of such a brilliant idea of their god king.
