Or not Obviously they asked Chris to "bring something breathtaking, something massive, gigantic...something that makes people speechless when they see it, so they whisper to themselves "I'd never thought that this is possible and exists"!", so he sent Ben.

Ben Lesnick blames Freespace 2 for killing the whole genre. This is strange given that Freespace 2 is typically regarded as being the best sci-fi flight sim ever made.

Fil5000 posted:Wasn't his logic something like because it was so good no one bothered to make more? Or something equally idiotic? No. His argument was that it was bad, with no character, boring, worse than Wing Commander, and such a bad game that no one liked that it killed the whole genre/industry. I'm sure all of his opinions are still up on his appaling personal shrine site or all over WCNews.

I had to look this up on google and apparently Ben thought Freespace 2 was a cheap rip-off of Prophecy. Christ on a stick.

Not that it's really that surprising if you were, like me, involved in sci-fi communities in the late 90s/early 00s. Every group was fiercely fighting every other group. The Big Three fight was a melee between the Trekkies VS Warsies VS Fivers (and there was often fierce sectarian violence within those groups -- Kirk or Picard, Sinclair or Sheridan??). The flight sim rivalries were just an extension of that, and Wing Commander had some very devoted fans in those days. Wing Commander had a lot of games with big name actors and was basically a big Hollywood movie series. In comparison, Freespace wasn't as obviously 'good' and was practically dehumanising and depersonalising in its grim narrative. And FS2 does sort of have the dubious distinction of being one of the last flight sims ever released as well as being the best. Just, like with most things when it comes to Lesnick, he never seemed to move on from those days. Milkfred E. Moore fucked around with this message at 13:35 on Oct 18, 2017 |

Boy I sure can't wait to watch a bunch of CIG's paid shills to sit on a panel and circlejerk about how great Star Citizen is for forty five minutes  Also, what the gently caress is up with three CIG dudes being on a general "space and scifi" panel? What the gently caress does DiscoLando have to do with games like No Man's Sky, or Children of a Dead Earth? Does Ben Lesnick even realize CoD:IW exists? Where's ObsidianAnt on that panel?

Sunswipe posted:What the gently caress are Lesnick and Huckaby doing on that list? They know gently caress all about making games, and Lesnick's sole interest in the genre is Wing Commander. Were they actually invited to this, or did Lesnick's gravitational pull drag it towards him? They saw the openings on the panel, so they signed up. Lesnick is the preeminent expert on the most (in)consequential space game in history and Jared has never turned down an opportunity to blabber incessantly about nothing. Plus, I think they heard there is free food in the green room.

The thing about Ben hating Freespace that surprises me is that I wasn't aware he knew games other than Wing Commander ever existed! You learn all sorts of things, some days.

So they're sending a walking moon and a disheveled hobo to discuss how they corral hopeless space dorks into the money pits, hook them up to the milking station, and systematically lie to them in order to meet extraction quotas? Got it. Then Ben "Moon" Lesnick, Master of Spaceships is gonna do a live demo for the autism showcase panel? Can't wait. I predict comedy.
