Links & the Like

• Frontier Developments released another Q&A, this one specifically about the mission demo reel we talked about last week. Some of it we already knew or already guessed, but we’ll take a walk through it and point out all the strange alien plants or valuable scraps of salvage we find. Oh wait, there aren’t any exploration or scavenging mechanics yet.

• Star Citizen has reset the counter on the “days since Public Relations debacle” sign back to zero, as they once again respond to a critique about bad management practices by demonstrating bad management practices. And just so Tony doesn’t completely swoon from ecstasy, I’ll find something to say about the game’s development too.
