It' not worth getting upset about, it's a write off. Least you haven't blown 1000's of dollars on it. I'll be playing the new version of Elite and forget about it..

With the new Rogue One trailer out I'm will to bet at least 50p that the next SC trailer shamelessly tries to rip off a core visual from that film. :)

My latest blog, Star Citizen - Shattered Dreams, is now live. This one was a bit too upsetting to write; which is why I didn't even want to write a blog about the show. But there it is.

Hmmmmm beginning to think that your not much different to Croberts here Derek. I got the distinct impression from your twitter that you were going to make a big set of reveals about the project and it's key characters in your blog. You have promised much and delivered little :)

I'm not sure why people here are thinking that was an especially good (if depressing) article from you this time round. It wasnt bad but its more of the same and really id say a lot us were expecting a few juicy reveals like your twitter comments were indicating. Don't take it the wrong way but you need some new material in these blogs. We all know and the wider gaming world even that Citcon was an utter damp squib.

No offense but it's sounding a bit tired mate. Am I being constructive here or is just I'm cranky tonight. :)

The thing is - whatever Herr Doktor has to reveal, he can't reveal himself. He can only let things happen and comment on things as they pan out. To do otherwise would not be very smart at all, if you pardon the pun.

Well, I gave myself an ear-worm, so I figured I'd run with it (hopefully without treading on Asp's toes)

We're four years in, there is no game, hurroo, hurroo
We're four years in, there is no game, hurroo, hurroo
We're four years in, there is no game
You're really not the one to blame
But Roberts' calling out your name,
Johnny we hardly knew ye.

Chorus:
With your slides and guides and slides and guides, hurroo, hurroo
With your slides and guides and slides and guides, hurroo, hurroo
With your slides and guides and slides and guides
The audience, they want your hide
The comments are getting pretty snide
Johnny we hardly knew ye.


The fans want Squadron Forty-Two, hurroo, hurroo
The fans want Squadron Forty-Two, hurroo, hurroo
The fans want Squadron Forty-Two
But it's a steaming pile of poo
There's nothing you can really do
Oh Johnny, we hardly knew ye.


You tell them all about your site, hurroo, hurroo
You tell them all about your site, hurroo, hurroo
You tell them all about your site
You've crafted every kilobyte
But the crowd think this is boring sh*te
Oh Johnny, we hardly knew ye.


You wish that you were miles away, hurroo, hurroo
You wish that you were miles away, hurroo, hurroo
You wish that you were miles away
Your life has fallen in disarray
This isn't worth the beans they pay
Oh Johnny we hardly knew ye.


"I'll not do this again" you vow, hurroo, hurroo
"I'll not do this again" you vow, hurroo, hurroo
"I'll not do this again" you vow
It doesn't matter anyhow
You'll soon be moving to Brno,
Oh Johnny we hardly knew ye.


You reach the end and finish the pain, hurroo, hurroo
You reach the end and finish the pain, hurroo, huroo
You reach the end and finish the pain
Your ears pick up a welcome refrain:
"Johnny's not going on stage again"
Oh Johnny, we hardly knew ye.

Right, back to procedural hydrology... :)

I'm thinking of a SC flavoured version of the traditional Scottish song - Hey Johnny Cope - but it's a bit early for a sufficient level of beverage enhanced refreshment - and Johnny isn't the bad guy here :D

Buy a Polaris!

Better than my other idea of adapting D'ye ken John Peel. Hmm, maybe some Fine Young Cannibals...

Not that just has to be done.

Buy an Idris!

I've just come down
From a flight up high
I'm not in the game and I wonder why
And the backers shout as I go by
Roberts, where's your Idris?

Let the cash flow high
Let the cash flow low
Through the 'Verse
In my greybox I go
All the backers say Hello!
Roberts, where your Idris?

Lenslock took me to Citizencon
And there were hecklers in the hall
And I was feared that I would BSOD
Roberts, where's your Idris?

Now I went to Reddit Town
And I didn't render in the background
The backers turned their heads around
Roberts, where's your Idris?

The guildies want me every one
Well let them buy me if they can
They can't afford rigs
Like a Forum Dad
And we don't need no Idris

Mr Asp - you are building up so much virtual rep I've run out.

We now need a Scottish CMDR to sing it :)

Asp for thread Kwisatz Haderach.

The lulz must flow !.

I think we may be going a bit off topic now, though I think Kwisatz Haderach may have something to do with sandworms, which is kinda related to SC. I can't remember - it's been so long since I read the books and I only got up to "God Emperor of Dune" - were the rest worth it?

Now I'm going OT! See what you made me do?

The game is the lulz. The lulz is the game :D

Well it's all SC related somehow - and I believe on-topic. If I'm wrong, then mods I am sorry and promise to do no more awful song covers.

It's not your fault - it's a perfectly natural reaction due to your brain not being able to handle the level of Awesome you were exposed to by CitizenCon. Helplessly you lash out like an animal, loling and going off-topic - enjoying yourself even - all highly en-theta behaviour.

If only you truly understood the Awesomeness you could overcome this and return with Lando's dad to playing 4-6 hours of a fraction of game loop over and over again - sacrificing important hours of your life to the Cause and the Dream, donating what you can to fight against the Smart - not wasting it all on family or the so called Real Life.
