God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

LOL, the ol' steve bannon special

Remember Steve Bannon? The white supremacist alcoholic who looked like a rotting corpse on a bad hair day? Made all his money from seinfeld, always wore at least 2-3 button up shirts on top of each other? Only got fired because magazines wrote too many "the power behind the throne" articles about him? Yeah, he wrote all those early orders that were too hosed up to be interpreted let alone legal

I wonder when he'll get re-hired to the whitehouse, haha

Bannon ran a gold farming operation and what he saw of gamers made him go "Say, I bet these angry idiot morons could be useful."

Rex Tillerson, James "Mad Dog" Mattis, and Steve Mnuchin had a suicide pact where if Trump fired one of them the others would quit; strangely, Mnuchin didn't quit when Trump axed Tillerson and then Mattis :thunk:

In 2007 the owner of a multi-billion-dollar subprime mortgage company spent $26 million of the company's money and destroyed several of his own supercars to create a crash-heavy racing movie as a vanity project. It made $8 million at the box office and by 2009 he had declared bankruptcy.

By my hand, I will take you from this godforsaken internet
It wasn't a completely godawful game, just kinda unfinished on a visceral level and reminiscent of star citizen in that 80% of the promised product never actually happened. It was ultimately a released, playable RPG in the end but Schilling couldn't help but run the company itself into the ground before it got to any of the promised "good stuff".
