  1. Re:Not bad on EVE Online Developers Help Player Make Fan Movie · · Score: 1

    Your wish is my command http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=783871 Well not the RTS bit :(

  2. Re:EVE Mobile? on New EVE Expansion Nears, Possible Mobile Plans · · Score: 3, Informative

    I suspect it would be something like outofeve where you can view your orders, research jobs, build jobs, pos status and assets from a phone and maybe allow you to adjust orders and what not rather than a full blown client.

  3. Re:There is a reason no one plays EVE on Massive EVE Online Alliance Disbanded · · Score: 1

    That can be attributed to the fact that it is easier to spy and steal to defeat your enemies in EVE than it is to do it the honourable way due to how strong defenses can be made for the space you hold compared to the options your enemies have to attack. The alliance in question were able to defend their home region from many times their own numbers due to the advantages of having the defense systems like Cyno Jammers and being able to move fleets about Jump Bridge networks. Now these have been taken away for at least four weeks the game will become more about spaceships and less about metagaming. For the time being at least.

  4. Re:Just another way to fight... on UK Conservatives Slammed Over Open Source Stance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I vote Raving Monster Loony since they are the only Party with policies that make any sense.

  5. Confusing Developments on Legal Trouble For MMOs In Australia · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was led to believe that the Aussies were criminal types that we kicked out and the first American Colonists were people who were too uptight even for us English types.

    So why then do we have the Aussies being uptight about foolish things and the Americans being pretty chilled out about most things?

    My belief in stereotypes has been shattered!

  6. Whats in a name? on Why Do We Name Servers the Way We Do? · · Score: 1

    I just name my servers after the very original character names from FF1 so we have... Blackmage Whitemage Redmage Thief Fighter etc... etc... sadly there are no humourous adventures in 8 bit sprites for me to report.

  7. Re:It's possible to write rubbish in any language on Why Corporates Hate Perl · · Score: 1

    Pretty much the case where I work. Alot of stuff written in perl including a 200 line script to rename a file and to make sure its not over writing a file with the same name and massive birds nests of code that with the zero documentation and none of the original authors still in the organisation leaving me with little choice but to start from scratch. Sure I could of waded through it all but then that would of taken as long if not longer than rewriting it myself and have to think about in the future where someone new might come in and have to go over my old code. Would rather they say "Hey this is easy to understand and read" than "hey the last guy was a total arse for not writing this so its readable and leaving any documentation!"

  8. Re:sigh... on Dreamworks Acquires Rights for Ghost in the Shell · · Score: 1

    Had to make an account and no more lurking to add to this but here it comes... NNNEEEEERRRDDDDD RRRRRAAAAAAGGGGEEEEEE Please for the love of all things can you Hollywood numpties stop buying my childhood and repackaging it to me in a shiny CGI fest devoid of anything that made the original any good. Take a freaking chance and maybe one of those young writers who came to you with an idea thats a bit of a risk might just have something great. This is another example of why Cinema attendance is down, combined with almost insultingly high prices to go see the latest bastardised snorefest. Yo Mr Movie Exec Guy, if your going to rape my memories at least buy my brain dinner first, jackasses.
