Game Discussions Star Citizen Discussion Thread v12

Why does Chris Roberts affect a Bizarro Mid-Atlantic accent that seems to switch from Brit to American?

Asking for the proverbial imaginary friend.
He's Canadian and overemployed in VO
Probably for the same reason why my accent is a blend of New England and Minnesotan... I was born there, and moved to Minnesota when I was four. My friends love the fact that my NE part of my accent becomes much more noticeable when I return from visiting friends there... or I happened to be binge watching BBC-America ;)
 
None of that exists until the game releases.

I'm not sure where to start with that comment

I'll never forget Norm Abram the DIY guy I used to watch on TV ages back...New Yankee workshop or something it was called. He was so New England with the accent, it hurt :D

"I'm just sanding off this set of draas from this cabinet then I'll put them out in the yaad to dry." Class...I miss Norm :)

It surely means Answer the Call 2016

I mean, how smoothly is any of this supposed to be running once you jam in even 1/5th of the remaining features and gameplay systems? How the heck do you optimize such endlessly messy madness and a decade of cludged semi-features?

with a bunch of kids out school, 90s cronies, and zero network engineers of any quality?

You betcha you sure like chowdah!

Fixed it
 
Those are not dreams.txt. More like Jeb's upcoming combat changes to Minecraft. More solid than dreams.

Until SC can be reviewed on Metacritic, those planets don't exist.
You're just being pointlessly obtuse now. :rolleyes:

Yes...they do...since they're not some figment of imagination like most of the content of SC, they're actually there...you can land on them and everything...even fall through some of them on occasion...but I can assure you, they exist... whether you, Metacritic or anyone else repeatedly chants random pedantic word salad to the contrary or not ;)

Fun fact : I'm quite sure I've already read this kind of stuff several times during the last 4 years.

There is another funny post (from an alledged project manager) about how CIG are using Agile and because of that its absoloute fine that the project is so delayed, and in fact, it should be expected to be delayed, because Agile is designed for it. Its like they took the idea of Agile and twisted it to mean that you can take as long as you want, which isn't the point of Agile at all. He also says Waterfall is dead (its, not. Its still used for fixed scope, fixed budget, especially for things like Government contracts where there is no wiggle room on time/budget). They also bang on at length about how its impossible to give reasonable estimates, like they have never heard of buffers or the fact that people overestimate as well as underestimate. If you have developers that consistently underestimate tasks then you need to take a look at that. Not shrug your shoulders and say its normal.

Or if you're doing Agile then you just work out your team Velocity (i.e. how much they deliver vs how much they though they would deliver) and use that for future planning. But as you say, they are doing Agile In Name Only - which is quite common.

(Oh, and I've also worked on Waterfall projects - with fixed time and budget - what utterly failed to stick to time / budget - blaming and praising methods is often used when in fact it's down to the organisational ethos. If a company decides to deliver on budget and time then any method can work - if it doesn't care then ... )

Edit: If you are spending time trying to make your grenade throwing system also feel great for throwing plushy penguins around then I suggest that possibly timely delivery is not the top of your priority list :)
