...and this asshole thinks he's so fucking important, he lectures you about how to thank him so he can delete your acknowledgment/thank you as quickly as possible.
he seems important enough if you decided to write a post on/. whining about his abrasive attitude (and probably lost some sleep over it -- how dare he, that asshole!). and he seems efficient too.
this sort of behavior is common in IT, no? I figured people got used to it by now. you should read up on nerd tact filters before you act all butthurt about it in public.
started mmo gaming to hide from a failing marriage, after marriage counseling failed. [snip] We recently decided to get a divorce. I dropped all of my accounts, started working out again and I've never been more happy in my life.
I fucking hate people like you. you just fuck up online games with your lack of commitment. why don't you just hit the bottle like a normal person would do. or drugs. something. you know, some of us do actually enjoy gaming and don't use it as a filler for a void fucking life.
you failed at marriage. you failed at gaming. good luck "working out". hope that works out for you.
if you hate your job that much why don't you quit and go do something adventurous. like, I don't know, windowcleaning skyscrapers. that sounds fucking XXXXXXXXXXXXTREME!
A fixed width site? You have got to be kidding me. We are developers with 30" monitors.
I agree about the fixed width thing being silly, however... are you running your browser fullscreen on a 30" monitor? you know, it's a browser not a fucking IDE.
Terrible Advice. Stay entirely away from Slack, or Gentoo. Work with Red Hat, or, if you must, Debian.
I learned the ropes on Slackware and nowadays I exclusively run BSD on all my servers. however, I have no problems using various RedHats all day long at work (in the "real" world as you call it). I'd rather they'd all be Debians (at least -- less pain), but you can't have everything now can you?
if you learned Slackware, you know Linux. if you learned RedHat, you know... well... RedHat. I think that's how the saying goes.
But it really wouldn't be difficult at all to blend PvP and PvE in EVE. You already have four factions, each with their own faction space [...] A Gallente in Amarr 0.9 space would be chased down by Concord, even if they had high Concord security ratings when they were in Gallente space.
the Faction Warfare patch released this summer, does exactly that. well, almost. if you are working for one of the factions the enemy's navy (and not CONCORD, they are just for crimes not politics) wtfpwns you in their space.
Make it possible for Alliances or large zergs to overthrow the sovereignty of a system and you have a workable blend of PvE and PvP (a system being overthrown would bring in a lot of attention from players in nearby systems)
again, done. a new region chock full of systems has been created where the warring factions can conquer and generally fight over territory.
Right now EVE storyline is PvP because instead of NPC factions all the story is between the big alliances. But it's better story than anything that content creators would ever dare put in a game.
right on. all that has proven interesting because the big alliances in the game have interests in controlling various pieces of space (resources, strategic positions, etc.) while on the other hand the Faction Warefare thing consists just of aimless fighting. but at least you have the choice (and many others). EVE wins again.
Working with Linux and OS X on a daily basis the defense, ``Linux is free'' doesn't hold water anymore due to the billions invested by IBM and others to make it stable.
it's free as in beer (I can download it for kernel.org without paying anyone a dime) and it's still Free as in speech (source, license, etc). for such a lowish UID, you sure don't seem to have any idea what you're talking about.
oh, almost forgot. you're one of those bitter carebears that lost a faction/officer fitted CNR in Motsu, or some shit like that. or someone popped your autopilotting freighter. right? right. and now you have to spew your vitriolic idiocies anywhere you can to feel better about yourself and your "huge loss".
delicious carebear tears, cry me a river of them;]
you're welcome. by your whining, it doesn't seem too obvious to you.
False dilemmas are fun.
they sure are, how about a car analogy?
Most gankers are almost certainly sociopaths. It's the best explanation for their behavior.
they are sociopaths because they like to SHOOT at PIXELS on a COMPUTER SCREEN, as intended by the game mechanics? you're just getting crazier by the minute.
Yes, I can imagine how thrilling it must be to spend months getting a ship and then losing it in a few seconds when you get ganked.
that's exactly right. it's thrilling because it has consequences. don't like it, try Solitaire, Hello Kitty Online or other dollhouse shit (WoW, etc)
If you want PvP for real men then I suggest a FPS like Counter-Strike.
Yah? Does he pay CCP each month? If so, he's a soddin' carebear. Real pirates steal their accounts as well as their l00t.
the joke's on you funnyman. he probably pays his game time with ISK that he got off his victims loot. so, yeah, he's a real pirate.
on a more serious note, I would have liked to see an interview with Stavros, Vegeta or Tank CEO. shit, even Remedial -- technically he's not a real pirate, but stories about his game antics would be far more entertaining than anything fucking Verone has to say.

I always get wild porn sex for cut glass from... YOUR MOM!
I guess that's why there's no farmers that fuck up the economy in EVE. oh, wait...
Not that Spelling Nazi's are prevalent here or anything, but...
Spelling Nazi's what?

Opera Mini 4.1 has a big fat sync button right in the first window. it's green too.
That'll be sync with their desktop Mozilla browser.
you mean like Opera already does? WOW! what will they think of next?

The right hand typically just presses the odd button or waggles the mouse.
oh you bet it waggles!

Anybody who uses LOL in a forum that doesn't limit responses to the length of a cellular text message is most certainly a loser.

no sir, either you dont know zit about strategy, or havent really played starcraft by giving its due.
I know I'll probably get the modstick for this, but if I wanted to play a strategy game I'd go play Total Annihilation, not kekeke zerg rush ^_____^

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with saying [snip]
except that, as your post title states, they are losers?
In fact, I appreciate those who respond to my questioning their W2-status with "I'm just lazy."
but they're still losers?
Go get a W2 job if you're not cut out for it -- not everyone is.
obviously, losers aren't.
how about a car analogy?
The stigma video games as a "nerd" activity is all but dead to my generation.
sadly, yes.
No? I've played multiplayer FPS games for over a decade.
that must explain your hatredd for games that use more than 5 keys to control shit.
