So how much money is Sandi wearing? The outfit, the watch, the jewelry? That's like 6,000 bucks probably.




I like that I get to hear Sandi whispering in my ear while Ben gesticulates.

Let's talk hypothetically for a minute . Let's think outside the box a little. Conjurate a scenario where a well known dev , face of the company art side if you will. Has been involved in a minor transgression, one we can all relate to. Possibly this individual has secured the services of a lady of the night. Maybe some chemical enhancement has been indulged in. Possibly this has happened in a backer funded CIG private chalet somewhere in the United States of America. Now maybe this entire endeavour has gone catastrophically awry . Maybe violence has ensued and maybe just maybe this lady of the night is now a justified complainant ? Cash is needed and a smoke screen to obfuscate this infamous gentleman's exit and continuation as free man.
Think about it . It's all just nonsense speculated upon by me but makes you think .

The very end of 2012 and then 2013 and 2014 must have been the greatest time of Chris and Sandi's lives. Or very close.

Mountains of cash are flowing in. Love and adoration from everyone. New heights of fame and respect (Remember Chris smugly sitting on video game panels? Sandi becoming the beauty queen she always wanted to be.). Moving out to L.A. because "reasons". Being able to hire folks for low pay because they wanted to be associated with the project. Expensive gifts coming in non-stop. Traveling the world to be thronged by loving fans everywhere.

It must have been great.

I imagine it started to get a bit stressful in 2015 when previously announced deadlines were being missed. Then the escapist article really got Chris mad (3 page angry gamergate rant response to an article). Now 2016 is coming to a close and there is nothing but a buggy "pre-alpha" to play.

I honestly think that Chris really thought/thinks this was/is all going to all work out (and we did too, for a while). And he probably rages at his employees because he knows that the fault cannot lie with him. Negative coverage is becoming more prevalent and negative discussion is no longer being quashed as soon as it pops up online. The worm is turning.

2017 is going to suck for Chris Roberts.

Depends whether we get Walking Dead style zombies or World War Z/28 Days Later style zombies.

I still can't get by the zombies not rotting away into non-functionality in a few months.

I liked walking dead early on because they were going with a "not dead but suffering from a form of meningitis" theme. But then you have rotted skeleton people still running around outside after being dead for months.

Slow zombies are the only good ones. While the 28 DL was an interesting take, it didn't really feel like a zombie movie.

Yeah, I was going off of the Atlanta CDC stuff from the show.

Having a degree in forensic anthropology has ruined shows like that for me.

That could be years away.

Chris will just lay people off for a while, maybe close a studio. Call it consolidation in preparation for a big release.

Which is the situation that scares me the most because it denies us the epic conclusion of it all going dark and Chris running away. Followed by angry ex-employees rushing to the nearest keyboard to tell us all the behind the scenes dirt we've all been craving.

Yeah. Chris is probably registering the site "www.starcitizenhax.com" tonight so he can cash in.

But he'll forget to buy the anonymous protection so we'll all see that he's making money off the hacks for his own game.

On a separate note: If any of you have a PS4 VR there's a free mini game associated with the new CoD. It's fun the first time, but what is really cool is once you've completed it you're just floating in space above the Earth. It's just a really cool experience that I hope we get more of in the future.
