Everyone making fun of this picture is incapable of appreciating the art of filmmaking. I mean, just look at how this shot was framed: the lack of depth echoes the state of the game. As does the complete absence of any sense of perspective (is the man in the foreground enormous and Erin very small? Your eye cannot reveal the truth: you can only trust your heart!). And then there's the way that vague impressions of exciting imaginary space combat scenes exist all around, and the subtle clue hidden in the way the logo for Star Citizen is halfway out of the shot as if it has been caught trying to sneak out while no one was looking. And then there's the acting! Erin's entire skeleton is slumping, taking on the appearance of an abandoned scoop of ice cream melting on the sidewalk (symbolically linked to a childhood joy ruined carelessly that no one will ever even attempt to save). Even in a single frame, the drama is almost too much to take. Five stars. Almost as good as Wing Commander. Needs more space bulldozers.

Also, thanks for keeping the servers chugging along for when I get a craving to get owned by dorks poopsocking a robot game. I hope you can make it too. If you are coming make sure to let me know and we can hang out and chat. Maybe even set up a dinner with other Vancouver goons I know. As for keeping the servers going, it’s a fun job. I spent a lot of time behind the scenes last year modernizing a lot of stuff that no one will ever see but that makes the infrastructure significantly easier to maintain. Maybe we could play robots together some days. I still pop into the FLJK mumble sometimes.

Heck yeah, that'd be rad. Nothing weird ever happens at goonmeets, or so I've been led to believe lol. Most MWO goons are in the discord now, we pretty regularly have some decent sized groups going on, if you ever feel like coming to hang out there's a permanent invite link over in the MWO thread and/or I can hook you up with one. I'd totally be down to show you how bad I am at your game lol.

Spatial posted:Also man you can't see poo poo in SC. About 50% of the field of view is obscured in that guy's ship: Let's take a look at *gasp* ELITE. First off, this is the cockpit of the Hauler (that's actually the name, "Hauler"). Out the front:  Most of the "non-window" space is at the bottom, which includes most of the HUD info. You can also look up a little and then see the ceiling. It's not too far to it but that's a "centered" view. To the side:  To the side, there's not window real estate. It's a ship for hauling goods from A to B, not for combat or deep space exploration (though it does the latter well). There's also an eyebrow window as well just out of frame. This is the most "restrictive" cockpit I've been in. Every other one is much more open. For example, a ship pretty much dedicated to exploration:  The windows go to just behind the pilot's seat to the side and above. It's great for looking outside and seeing this:  There's also a small window between the HUD panels to the side and the floor. iospace fucked around with this message at 06:18 on Jan 13, 2018 |

The wheels are starting to come off.  Eventually when you’re years late, still have utterly insane feature creep you clearly lack the talent to achieve, and continue to sell the stupidest stuff possible that has virtually zero chance of being a thing for another decade... Apparently people may start to notice. Oh well. At least CIG has enough money to finish the game even if funding were to totally stop, according to them.

Quavers posted:Not sure if this video has been posted yet I watched that "gameplay" and the main source of any interest was the guy worrying that he'd lose his ship and real-money weapons due to bugs. When he returns to Olisar he worries that he hasn't done a good enough parking job to keep his ship, so he makes multiple auto-land attempts which all try to kill him. At the end he reveals that he bought two M7A weapons for real money, lost them both to bugs, and has now bought a third.  $15.30 * 3 = $45.90

More like why wouldn't just ask them to restore your stupid guns? If you have plunked 50 bucks into fake guns you surely have crossed the magical thousand dollars barrier in ships, after which you can actually get customer support to listen to you.

Not-So-Secret Santa Streetroller Giveaway PO Box "That Star Citizen Thread" Beverly Hills, CA 90210 Dear Streetroller, I have been requested by the Cloud Imperium Gaming Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Cloud Imperium Gaming Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for space exploration in the Sol system region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling UEC$175,000,000. The Cloud Imperium Gaming Company is desirous of space exploration in other parts of the galaxy, however, because of certain regulations of the Crytek Lawsuit, it is unable to move these funds to another region. You assistance is requested as a non-Star Citizen to assist the Cloud Imperium Gaming Company, and also the Central Bank of RSI, in moving these funds out of CIG. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Cloud Imperium Gaming Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Cloud Imperium Gaming Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or UEC$17.5million of this amount. However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to space law, you must presently be a depositor of at least UEC$100,000 in a space bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of RSI. If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Switzerland, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Cloud Imperium Gaming Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of RSI. Please call me at your earliest convenience at XX-XXX-XXXX. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Skadden lawyers will realize that RSI Is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it. Yours truly, Prince Chrisi Robertus Malachite_Dragon fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Jan 13, 2018 |

honestly, I haven't watched your video but this guy's comment doesn't really strike me as an attack, it reads more like a surprisingly reasonable critique. as you say I like most people haven't experienced your frustrations, but I've been wondering if you coming here and posting screenshots of your sick youtube owns is really necessary, just like publishing a cigar smoking manifesto of the reasons why you're going to totally make cig your bitch no hard feelings but to me it feels just like Derek's attention-grabbing posturing, actions usually speak louder than words...

Spatial posted:Why is there a fat hobbit in the SC video Spasiba! TheLastRoboKy posted:The gently caress is this a scene from? Honey I Shrunk the MVP Expectations? Well, slight adjustments to scale were made to emphasize the bad framing and incredible shrinking Erin factor. NOTE TO CIG (and it pains me to point out something this obvious to a company co-run by a Director and an Actress): The whole of whale confidence in this project now rests on your Brother / Brother-in-law. Chris, your credibility was pissed away in a marathon stretch of slinging bullcrap for dollars for five years. Sandi, well, I think yours peaked at Sunny’s Diner when a couple of nerd dudes were drooling over the fiction you spun about yourself of the brilliant, beautiful, bodacious, joint masters marine biologist/marketing genius sought by schools around the world for Ph.D studies. (Nobody inside or outside of CIG believes it anymore.) Erin hasn’t yet peed all his cred away, and backers are counting on him to keep the trains running. If not on time (  ), they need to believe he’s a leader who can keep it from coming off the tracks. So next time you shoot him, tell the man to Sit Up Straight, and position the camera so his framing looks confident and in command. He literally looks like he’s melting and that isn’t a good luck for the last leader people sort of trust in the Troika.Yeah, I know Thread Intern...
