As much as I tried to ignore it until it came out...I'm hooked on the idea of Star Citizen: 


I'm drinking the Chris Roberts Koolaid....

Cool.  I gather that video's supposed to a sort of in-universe commercial?

Being an American, I have a somewhat different idea of speed, I guess. That looked... languid. My mind kept replacing the music in the second half with the Team America theme, for want of anything better at the moment.

He has some really ambitious ideas for the game.  Eve..but more accessible.  But also you can walk around, live in your ship, rpg elements...  Yup...I'm drinking the Koolaid.

I promised after Moo3 I'd never fall for a game before it came out...but I can't help myself.  Star Citizens is mashing all the buttons from games of yore....

Yup, I also drank.  Really looking forward to Star Citizen...just hope my PC will still be able to run it.  Here's a video clip from a live stream they did that shows some of the details of the Constellation.
