I'll never get over this game taking so long to make that stuff is being passed down by word of mouth like myth and legend. CIG loving up behind the scenes and not telling anyone, anything, while lying in demos and ship sales to pull in tens of millions was actually a beautiful moment of transparency and resolve where they fully admitted everything and the family and community was strengthened as a result. Just like Ben banning the sexual harassment victims of a concierge backer and threatening to ban anyone that talked about it was actually a heroic statement by CIG on how they will actively control the direction of their beautiful dream.

I too am cracking up. Though perhaps not for the same reason. I hope this is just a random GIS thing and not like your actual home and actual floor and such. Because otherwise I'd suggest doing a spot of cleanup.  Maybe come up with a catchy song while you clean, since you may be at it for a while.

I hope this guy reads this forum as a lurker: I don't like Ben because he's not a nice person. You should look for his webpage where he stalked a news anchor, and also had a "hilarious" discourse with his intended and revered relationships with children he wanted to engage in. Ironically it was around this time where Bens stage presence began to diminish, but of course nobody really said anything. Now that we're about a year later he's being removed. It's been long enough nobody can specifically say "it was because of this sick poo poo you did Ben" so it's possible he can find another job without needing to bring that up as a reason for his removal, and it's out of the news now so employers likely won't find it with a basic google search. CIG gave Ben a good "out" and have helped line him up so he might be able to live a normal life somewhere else. But CIG didn't need that crap on their plate, especially not with more and more lawyer type people poking around. Ben was a huge liability of stupid with enough skeletons in his closet that there was no way CIG could afford to have him be there. I may be totally wrong, but that's my thoughts on the situation. CIG kept him around long enough for things to blow over, with very explicit directions that once they did he was to go gently caress off peacefully and never come back. This is why his "job" was cataloging Wing Commander poo poo. It was because he didn't really have a job, and his friendship with CR was keeping him around long enough to hopefully start fresh somewhere else. If CIG fired him immediately when this all broke out, as they probably deeply considered, he'd be hosed today because not many people would be too greatly interested in hiring his twisted, sick, dying loving rear end. So yeah, it was totally because he "bested goons" and definitely not because he's a sick piece of human poo poo.

That way we know who the bigshots are and not just some nobody maxing out the pauldron slider. e: My  with Ben is that CIG is going to consolidate massively and Ben is let go early as a favor. It has got to cost A LOT to run three studios.

Looking back, my favorite part of A Tale Of Two Lesnicks was when that Japanese fat shaming reality tv show surreptitiously filmed the two of them gorging on cakes and pies while the hosts were gasping cringing and laughing their way through the narration and iirc complete with classic ooooooooohhh sounds. If anyone has a link to this thread moment that'd be swell cause I forgot to bookmark that one.

Dear Diary, Today I found a rock that kind of looked like the cover of Wing Commander II. It was the Spanish/Dutch version, as any proper WC fan would know. Chris Roberts sent me an email today, what a great guy! I didn't have the heart to tell him I already own 3 gladiators; I miss seeing my name on the newsletter. Ate 14 burgers for lunch. Still hungry. Chuck says I can't eat any more because the AC doesn't work in his car. I hope Alexa is doing well, we had to take separate rides because the suspension gave out on Chuck's wreck. Whoops! Ha. Ha. Yours truly, Ben

Why anyone would be salty about Ben is honestly beyond me. He's gonna die in an absolutely miserable way, precisely because of the disgusting type of person he is, and I'm not even talking about him being a fat gently caress right now either. Whoever called him the 'Ur-Citizen' was spot on, and it's exactly why being salty or angry about any of these whales or shills is silly. Because the odds are they're all headed to doom and personal misery anyway, so my sentiments frequently swing between total and utter pity and gleeful schadenfreude.

And yea...I work on gardens every other day, and if that fat gently caress manages to do any of the necessary regular physical labor for any form of agriculture at all, other than wheezing up and down the stairs of his abode, I will eat my shoe. Or I hope that's actually a metaphor, because if it's an actual farm he and Alexis are doomed.

reverend crabhands posted:It's just British mannerisms, I would not take the "I'm sorry" literally, as a genuine apology. I know — I put it in quotes because his line delivery is so hilarious. Maybe I should’ve clarified that but just watching him putting his hands on his face, moving around, trying not to interrupt while listening to the rest of them give CIG Marketing the benefit of the doubt when its insane to keep doing that is so funny to watch. And when he finally gets the floor and pushes back so politely just makes it hysterical as a performance to me. Erris has a similar way of visibly trying to contain himself when the opposite takes place on Relay. When others criticize CIG, he starts clenching his jaw, waving around, balling fists, taking deep breaths. The struggle is real — only he struggles not to blurt out his defenses of whatever the bad thing is. (Usually that will trigger a rant after Erris gets the floor...) So I laughed hard just to see the opposite with Madness, and the British politeness is part of what makes it such a great performance. G0RF fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 16, 2018 |

Chris is apparently going to sue me (and the other /refunds mods!) for saying mean things about his video game, and I have it on good authority from my team of high powered attorneys that that means Ben can't also sue me because he also works for CIG and that would be double jeopardy. Unless they really are firing him

English English has a subtext, supertext and a side-narrative. Also 'gently caress' is punctuation. I'm filling time with contempt. edit: Also have LTI, so come at me bros.
