Need more stories about the fact the latest space tourist lives in a castle with a moat and dungeon. I picture him walking into the ISS and saying "Your time has come".

If I had a spare $30M, not sure I'd splurge on a space trip… …but then, it's the thing to do for today's billionaire…
I'd do something stupid... like change the lives of people in third world countries. Then again, I'm crazy like that. |

Is it wrong to hope the ISS or his re-entry capsule turns into a meteor while he is aboard?

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I'd feel horrible about the other astronauts, but I do think I'd cheer. At least until the first bit sunk in.  (Which I know. Having a shuttle disaster the day before my birthday was still close enough to muck it up for several years.) |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I think Lantyssa just wants to keep him from convincing dumbasses to give him money again and taking it away from other companies - which will surely be his MO upon his arrival back to earth as a SPACE HERO.
In which case, I agree.

Show us on the cub where he touched you.  Much better. (You're not gonna freak because I edited the quote, are you? I didn't know doing it twice, one of which was purposefully poking a button, constituted a habit.  ) |

The irony of an astronaut murdering him and then taking a picture with "PK'D! LOL!" on it would be all kinds of awesome. |

I really find this whole thing fucking stupid.
He bugs me as an individual. I don't want him to die, I just wish that the whole Tabula Rasa debacle (and by debacle, I mean existence) had never happened.
But you know, I'm just a peasant working for his money. I wouldn't understand the complexities of game design from the castle owning, $30m ticket dropping, spoiled bastard perspective.

Its not like other billionaires do more useful things with their money, so let him have his fun. Hell, I loved Ultima up to VII/2, so he deserves some credit for that.
His later games sucking doesn't invalidate the fun he brought me. I just didn't buy Tabula Rasa, so I don't have to be angry about it.

I'll point out that ultimately this is all I want, since some people seem to think I actually might wish harm on someone. It's internet bluster, about a pointless article, on a pointless waste of money, for someone whom I consider at best pointless and at worst hurtful of the gaming industry in the last few years. It's worthy of being in Serious Business, so I'm going to treat it as such. I don't actually wish ill of anyone. Even the loonies I can't stand I just want to go away and be quiet. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

See Nebu's comment for my feelings on this. His first one, not the one playing along with my posts. Space is cool. I like the space program. Visit APotD daily. I'm Big into Sci-Fi. Would think it really cool to go myself. I still consider it a waste of money. |

Would think it really cool to go myself. I still consider it a waste of money. Yeah I'm just being a pedant about 'pointless'. While I love space (as a child I could tell you the distance between all the planets in the solar system, their mass, etc) I also would probably do something different if it came down to having that much money. But that's a question of what you would do with you money, not if what you're doing has a point. He wants to go to space. He gets to go to space. Now, to properly derail this thread: Hitler had a point, he wanted to wipe out the Jewish race. It was an abhorrent point, sure, but it was a point. If you happen to agree with him that wiping out the jewish race is a good thing then he might seem to you to have had a wonderful point. If we have 30million to throw about our choice between "going to space", "wiping out jews", and "helping the homeless" isn't determined by one of them having a point and the others not but by our personal evaluation of the extent to which the point of each is valuable and worthwhile. |

That comparasation is bullshit.
Wiping out Jewish people negatively affects Jews (obviously)
Garriot pissing away his money on useless stuff (and he has a history of doing that) does not affect anybody else.
The man is a big child. He has his own castle for heavens sake. Does he use his money in a responsible way? Certainly not. But its not like he stole that money from anybody. People bought his games. EA bought his company. They could have given to charity instead just as easily as him. Hell, I give to the Red Cross and to the WWF anually, but if you suggested it was my obligation to do so I would tell you to go fuck yourself.

I still think killing or not killing people is never a question of personal evaluation, but I might have gone somewhat over the tangent here. Blame it on the second language thing, I guess thats better for me and I won't have to apologize!  |
