If this guy isn't some kind of astroturfing, he's legitimately worrisome. He's way, way, too far invested, far beyond a healthy level.

I initially thought about warning Bluegobln that no matter how hard he defended Star Citizens honor and virtue, it would not result in the game having sex with him. However, after taking a moment to reflect I realized that in this case the white knights will indeed be getting hosed in the end.

Its like a minecraft LP or something, gotta pump out so many videos and waste all this dev time by:

Searching for a dev
finding dev
stopping their work
setting up recording booth
record dev talking about magical rainbow fart technology and nevabindunn b4
Send dev back to work
get minions to edit footage
upload and hype video

And they did this 339 times

Even one dev per episode, for the 30 mins (probably longer) it takes to set up and record his bit, would be over 5,000 man hours wasted on stuff that, for the most part, its absolutely useless and unnecessary.

What's the deal with the pyrosomes??

They're pretty freaky. Sort of like glowing gelatinous ocean dongers made up of bunches of little animals. They're currently experiencing an insane population boom right now in the PNW and nobody is really sure why. Current theory that it's just one of the weird after effects of the pacific ocean hotspot that was called "the blob" that hung around off the entire Pacific coast a couple years ago. The other big possibility is that there was something that ate the poo poo out of those guys when they were in warmer waters that isn't there any more, due to population decline, temperature shift, or some other factor.

On the surface it appears to be similar to the huge jellyfish population explosion we've been seeing for the last decade, and there's a bunch of factors that go into that, including decreased predation, more nutrients, warmer temperatures, and possibly even a natural population boom cycle. The really interesting thing about the rise in pyrosomes in the PNW is they're more typically found in tropical waters, so of all the places you'd expect to see a huge boom in their numbers, the oceans off Washington and Oregon are not high on that list.

You talk and promote a lot of things that so far only seem to exist in prerendered videos, truck stops, planetary structures etc, didn't they show a bunch of those nearly a year ago during that presentation, all neatly running fine and smoothly, yet there is no sign of that on backers computers at the moment, why could they get it working for marketting but not for customers I wonder?

There is a very good reason why most games do not attempt to put as much in as Star Citizen, it's down to monetary and time cost of development, not to mention technical barriers and the limits of what can be sent over the web, Star Citizen if it ever got created would be completely unplayable over the internet without cutting a massive amount of detail and content from the scenario (universe), there is absolutely no way of refining and streamlining it in order to make it work, unless CIG have suddenly found ways to break the laws of physics and make the major internet hubs 200x faster overall.

High fidelity graphics are easily the least important item or feature in any game, I have no idea why some of you guys try to sell it on it's looks. If the game iteself is poorly designed, poorly delivered, poorly made, then all the graphical fidelity in the world will not help it one jot. Again, it's embarrasing to see a company selling it's as yet unmade product on it's looks, and imho, the graphics may be detailed, but they are dishwater bland and unimaginative. All frilly skirt and no knickers. Other games that favored graphical fidelity over actual well designed content all met with failure, remember Rise of the Robots? Yeah, that one was all state of the art graphical design too and awful to play.

Have not heard anything about GamesCom from the CIG crowd. CitizenCon is in Germany this year. Any bets on CIG skipping GamesCom and just doing CitizenCon? Would give CIG an extra few months to work on getting something resembling the 3.0 promised at last year's GamesCom into a non-crashing state.
