peter gabriel posted:A quick vid because I hate that graph and love GORFs, I have credited you in the description GORF, hope it is OK my friend. Dear God, man, that was BRILLIANT! And the Chris Isaak was a lovely choice (yeah, THAT'S the one song of yours I knew. Thanks for I, Monster though.) My only critique is that maybe it is time, with serious videos like that, you drop the misspelling schtick, because otherwise you give these nearsighted fools the chance to convince themselves it is all a prank, and dissuade the not yet mindraped it is all "funny ha ha" not "funny Stimpire style." You are one of the finest weapons we have in this war, son, and we don't need you blunted by short attention span idiots. As always, I could very well be full of poo poo, so listen to what you will.

It's very close to a set of armour from Gladiator (below), but not close enough to be a Sandishop. I don't think it's from GoT, though the sheer number of different armours and variations of those armours is insane. It's essentially this style of armour.  tracking it to source is fairly hard, since it's a pretty common armour config, and Gladiator made asymetric heavy left side armours super popular. e. I wouldn't be surprised is it's from some old fantasy sci-fi like Krull or something like Willow/Legend/etc. Xaerael fucked around with this message at 06:20 on Mar 26, 2016 |

You know, that aspect kind of makes me think of the whole MLM thing. For anyone outside the top management/first adopters to make any real money, at some point, the entire world would have to be recruited. (BTW, are we the PARRRRRP Sea?)

CrazyTolradi posted:One thing I would say about your analysis is that these two things would likely happen well after CIG is in dangerous cash levels. Companies with management as haphazard and incompetent as CIG will try operating well beyond the point where they are insolvent. The first real rumblings will be increasing rumours of employees not being paid for lengthy periods of time. I tend to operate under the assumption -- perhaps overly generous -- that Erin is a pragmatist and voice of reason at CIG, and possibly the only one who has real power and juice with Chris. Chris has shown over the past couple of decades that he is willing to take longshot gambles that could destroy a company/game/film, even though he's proven less and less successful at pulling them off. (Strike commander, Freelancer, Ascendent, etc.) Erin can't be in the dark about cash and I doubt he'd keep his loyal cadre from the truth if the company was in an outright nosedive and out of fuel. They came from safe and lucrative jobs to work for him-- not Chris-- so there are a lot of longstanding friendships at stake. Relationships don't last as long as those have by people who aren't professionally honest with each other. I speculate perhaps wildly when it comes to Foundry but EightAce's posts -- particularly the most recent -- suggest major tug-of-wars are afoot and it's my belief they indicate a revolt from a power block overseas. Maybe the cash position is a part of that but man, there are so many other potential areas of frustration that could prompt a revolt, not the least of which might be scope creep (that they are largely on the hook for), endless do-overs on everything (even now), or engineering debt (that they're largely on the hook for) or the constant LA stupidity (that makes them all look bad) or some combination of all of the above. I may be completely off base though-- dim as the lighting is into some of these realms. If I look back in two months and it seems in the optimist at the moment, I'll be the first to admit that which I'd find hard to believe, namely that it is even worse than I think.

G0RF posted:THE WALL OF Gorf what's your take on CIG selling to outside investors? Seems the general vibe is their product and customer base is to vile to attract buyers. The cynic in me thinks that there absolutely will be a buyout when cig is backed into a corner. Even if the brand is a toxic wasteland, it's known and I'm not sure about the legal case to be made for their liabilities to backers That would probably be funnier than a flat out institutional collapse, so bring it on

Nebiros posted:Posting from way the gently caress back, but how the gently caress through this chain did 'A Mote in God's Eye' not get brought up. Bolo, CJ Cherryh's poo poo and for comedy, "The Man Kzin Wars'' to see where Crobber got his career of intellectual theft too.I enjoyed Glen Cook's Dark War (name aside) and Starfisher trilogy too. How could I have forgotten the Bolo books? I keep going back and back to the old ones. Also Steakley's Armor (of course, part of that is that I keep tripping over copies in the weirdest places).

Is that a new brand name for insulin? Book-chat: Anybody tried Julian May by the by? I used to enjoy her work back when I was a teenager, and it still holds up for the odd nostalgia-read. It's cheating sci-fi (or at least the first set of books is, being set in a sci-fi sculpted fantasy setting) but has plenty of fun ideas, if somewhat bananas ones.

It is remarkably easy to get a SAG card, you just have to work 7 days on a SAG union job, or something like that. You are now a certified actor/actress congratulations. Why would they code in airlocks in this game? I mean there is two doors already that have it, so it's in there already. So annoying all these questions. paaaarp.
