No Disney movie requires you being old. And hell, it's only 1979. Comeon.
1979 is closer to the end of WW2 (34 years) than it is to today (36). Yeah, if you saw it when it was new (I did), you're old. My mom was pissed, she didn't think a Disney movie would be something that inspired nightmares (not mine, hers). --Dave I was 10 when that movie came out. VINCENT was my favorite character. It's still going to be better than Star Citizen. |

I remember VINCENT more fondly from when I first watched that movie. The older I get, the less I can stand him and the more I become an Old Bob guy. I wonder why!  And yes, for a Disney movie that thing was really dark. It had lobodomized working drones and a giant robot that looks like the devil eviscerating people. Regarding Star Citizens, that podcast wasn't as bad as I feared. Joerg is being an idiot fanboy, but everybody else basically tells him he is. |

That's because VINCENT is a smart ass who quotes Roman philosophers.

Disney were amateurs, sure Black Hole inspired nightmares but it was Watership Down that ruined my childhood!
Fuck that screwed with my head.

God she hated that drug, and spiders, but really that drug it was probably responsible for the hatred of spiders. |

I can't take the guy too seriously, as he thinks Avatar is an excellent film. He is wrong. |

He is wrong.
Luckily his focus is on virtual spaceships technology rather than film critique, and he seems to have much better handle on that. To the point where he apparently did make a working game. |

Do you have to pay extra for that feature or does it come standard with all ships with a cargo bay?

I like it. It's the new Roberts Space Industries "E-Z Drop" technology. No longer do you have to open up the rear of your starship to unload, which makes your ship interior vulnerable, now you can phase it down to the surface! They are putting so many cool sci-fi ideas in this game it's not funny.

i like how something awful is basically goading him and pretending to be his buddy because they can encourage him to be batshit and then watch as he creates epic drama for them

that's what happens when its about feeling special, rather than being awesome

Meet a fan who has spent $30,000 on Star Citizen ships (PC Gamer) I choose who I tell it to. Like, I haven’t told hardly anybody outside of my wife and kids, and my immediate family. My parents don’t know. They wouldn’t understand it. They would think it’s a crazy, stupid thing. Most people on the street would think it’s a crazy, stupid thing. But I spent 10 years of my gaming life in World of Warcraft. ... And I expect this to live for 10 years, if not more.

I don't think I've spent anywhere near $30,000 on gaming in my life, even including the costs of the various PCs/consoles I've bought. In fact, I'd be surprised if it passed $15,000. Hell, if you could guarantee me this game was going to be the best game ever and I'd put over 1,000 hours into it.. I still wouldn't put more than a couple hundred dollars (maximum) into it -- and this game is very, very far from being a guaranteed anything (other than train-wreck). |

Noted crazy person and literal Nazi Vox Day is running a 'brainstorm' event with Serek Dmart about Star Citizen. It's worth noting that Day has commented on SC quite a bit on his blog previously so this isn't entirely out of character but I'm having a hard time thinking up anyone who could be a worse and more easily dismissed ally than him. |

If I add up everything I ever bought or got over the last thirty years - including all of the HW from the Atari 2600 up to my latest MacBook Pro- I might approach $30,000.
This includes an era, though, where you still had to pay $4000 for an Amiga or a PC with a 486 DX, Matrox graphics card and 14 inch CRT 640*480 monitor. It's also an unfair comparison since I use my computers for work related stuff and things other than games. So all the hardware I ever bought, all the games I ever bought and all game subscriptions I ever had.
It would also not even be my most expensive hobby. That would be music since I've probably spent more on instruments, music related hardware and tutoring over the last ten years than I have on gaming related stuff.
Spending that sort of money on a single early access game is insane. It's even more insane if you consider that the same amount of money can easily fund two entire hobbies (e.g. gaming and music making) for two or three decades with orders of magnitude more entertainment gotten out of it.
He can try to rationalize it all he wants but it's still insane.
