This is how we get excited for games

So Marc and I were having a completely rational conversation about games, particularly of the space sim genre. It started out logically enough, as most of our dialogs do, but then it got weird.

So yeah, that’s how we hype up games for ourselves. In other news, Star Citizen is an awesome space sim that aims to bring back all the classic elements of the genre and more. It’s amassed $12 million since it started its crowdfunding campaign, and rightfully so; the team making it is headed by Chris Roberts, best known for creating the excellent Wing Commander series. Considering the widely adopted opinion that Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance was the last great space sim (an argument can be made for Freelancer, which Roberts helped develop as well) and that was released in 1999, I do believe we’re long overdue for a good trip into the black.
