I just checked out our friend WTFO's stream and he's drinking and sitting on a loading screen for Star Citizen to a massive audience of 50 people. This poor man.

Oh dont worry there's plenty of laughs to be had.

What would you be most interested in?

Getting phone call death threats from citizens you killed in game?

Getting threats of cig devs of account deletion for modding their alpha (lol at mod support)?

Trolling wtfosaurus? (I think we have some best of's on YouTube)

But really nothing beats the long con of seeing a space sim come together just to have some incapable interns lead by a thumb take away all the little bits designed by talented people who long left,that kept you entertained playing over time because fidelity is more important than the little bit of gameplay you could actually enjoy.

He said that was accurate too because 95% of his time was in Star Citizen and he played off-stream occasionally. I don't even have 10,000 hours in all of my games in Steam combined over a decade.

I think I'll take this opportunity to let everyone know that The Slow Motion Train Wreck that is our X-Com 2 campaign is about to go live again. A quick recap of the current situation for any commandos who are late to the party:
  • We've lost a few rookies, but so far casualties have been pretty minimal.
  • Kosumo bit the dust in our last mission for the night. I don't remember what happened, but it was probably very heroic.
  • If you believe the stories, I might have a potential future as a fetish cam whore.

So, Commander "40z" Meridian left us with quite the mess. It's now up to me, Commander "Sober" Meridian to pick up the pieces and lead our rag tag group to victory. Kosumo, you may be lost, but you'll never be forgotten. Whoever bought me this avatar, it's hilarious but I hate you. Come hang out!

Of course. I will go through our historic recordings tomorrow to see if I find better stuff. Bonus on this one:check 10:00 where he asks his cig buddy to implement a feature to stop joining people's instances that haven't had a 2 side friend ack. The best part, the cig guy actually did it and therefore hosed their friend instancing because at that point you had to to close the game, go to the website and add a friend there and then come back to have the contact in game. Setting up groups for PU gameplay went from a 10 minute job to a 1 hour job that patch.

it's demonstrable that Sean Murray lied because they had a publisher and had to release the game. Chris Roberts isn't lieing because he has no publisher and is just trying to stall everyone into staying too long in the land of dreams and attempts like a low-rent Enid Blyton villain.

It's very silly how certain parts of the industry have been able to label half the population as non-customers for games, and make a bunch of insecure boys believe it, considering how many women played games in the 80s/90s before this whole thing took hold.



I don't really get it either, but admittedly when I was working on a Doom wad when I was 14 not many of my girlfriends were too interested. I think somewhere in the 90's games and computers had a stigma associated with them that made association with it unfavorable to be a part of. It all became the same sort of dirty underbelly as D&D.

The media was blaming video games for everything bad, etc etc. I don't really think it became mainstream until mid to late 2k.

Though computer science itself is very similar to stuff like engineering, and when I was getting my degree there were very few other women in CS. I'm not saying women aren't getting good educations though, because when I visited chemistry and medical schools there was probably more women than men present.

I think CS will eventually cross over more to women, it's still a fairly new school relatively speaking. It'll just take more brave women to wade into another male dominated avenue, but it'll equal out eventually. Some of the best and smartest professors I had were women, too. Just another hurdle to cross. :)

Thanks. I like that around the time he asks CIG for the feature that could spare him from PVP, he's saying that he is fine with PVP.

Plus he is an angry man and bad at playing the game that he is payed to promote.
