And besides, its either a bug or a "feature", its never our fault.
When a user can spend half a day not being productive before reporting that "her keyboard doesnt work",and upon invetigation she had caps on, then yes, PEBKAC/RTFM.
In fact, most users are not ready to operate computers, et cetera.

"Et Al" means and the others...doesnt make sense in context...fixed that for ya.

To extend the analogy, eve would be downhill racing, flatland BMX, or even just dirt riding. Achievable results with time that lead to satisfaction.
Is it just me that doesnt expect/want everything on a plate, with no learning curve involved?
And , yes, get off my lawn young whippersnappers, there is a satisfaction to applying yourself to something until you understand it.
Used to be known as grokking.
Dunno if the kids(sic) these days could be arsed even googling that.
Off to collect my bus-pass brb.
Use the many help tools available in game, including the EVE Wiki which is available in the ingame browser.
Aurora (the female voice) also has a slew of informative tutorials available from the help menu.
Eve wont hold your hand for you, if you cant take that then it's not your game.
Eve is to WOW as Bash is to Windows basically, cant just click and hope, you need to read the man pages.
Absolutely bang on on the last point, and most modern/. readers wouldnt be able to spot the difference in the arguments sadly.
WoW exists, so why try to beat it?
Windows also exits, so mac go for cultural cache and linux goes for "sub-prime" markets.
Theres room for them all.
It is likely that a large portion of WoW players have not played any earlier generation MMO's, therefore Vanguard will make no sense to them at all.
If you played EQ or UO, then vanguard is a breath of fresh air. Its hard, uphill both ways in the snow with no shoes gaming, and plenty of people pine for that.
If you feel threatened by another MMO surviving against WoW, ask yourself why.
I think the/. i grew up with is dead. This is a huge political upheaval in a Virtual World. The old/. would lap up the meta-game consequences. The old/. would wax lyrical about the shifting social paradigms that would make this a headline. The old/. would figure out how to get the premium client running on a toaster.
The new/. is like a youtube comments page, nothing but vitriol and hate, smart-arse comments by half-wits.
I cite the Boron article yesterday, about 4 million "jokes" using variations on "Boring". I mean...COME ON! People had to then ask for clarification, in the old days people would have searched 1st, asked later. Not now, now its all hate and entitlement culture. Worst of all, no one even knows what the HURD is anymore.
Goodbye/.
Actually, on most cars that are on the road its easier to steal them and leave em burning in a field after a few bottles of cider than it is to
get a torrent that isnt full of leechers. And you wont get extradited to the U.S. for car theft either.
All in all , i think ill start stealing cars instead of games, less consequences, less risk , and far more fun.
The added advantage is that by literally stealing the cars, my simple mind will grasp the concept of physically having ownership of property easier than it grasps the concept of merely licensing property.
You do know that even your house is built on licensed land don't you?
"World of goo was DRM free too and it got pirated the shit out of it."
Or:
World Of Goo was a DRM free game , nonetheless, it got the shit pirated(sic) out of it.
seriously , good point though. Crayon Physics suffered a similar fate.
"they're" a contraction of "they are", "there" a location. Also add this to your mental notes: "loose" ill-fitting, the action of releasing something("let loose the goose") "lose" ----what people usually meant when they said "loose".
The problem exactly is this:
You buy a pink widget, expecting it to be pink forever, suddenly it turns into a blue hedgehog. You then have a reasonable expectation to be pretty disappointed at the loss of your beloved pink widget. When you call the widget maker he says too many people stole pink widgets so they turned them all into blue mammals and you sir, are shit out of luck.

Obviously, if you could edit /. posts, I'd remove the link but its out there now, like a festering sore to ruin your day. So sorry.
As well you should be. For Shame!
Thanks, now my boss will think i read gay pr0n at lunch and not a "tech" site. Can this be removed?

"Each satellite weighed well over 1,000 pounds."
I think you should be safe, because in space they don't weight anything - no gravity. However they do have a mass. /pedantic_tenancies
utter fail, if i need to explain why, stop visiting /.

Hey you autistic spergers, this is supposed to be a joke like "GNU's Not Unix". You aren't supposed to spend all day debating it's merit, losers.

"be the first MMO with DRM" Oh dear, whats the subscription for then?
