I've done both low sec and 0.0 pvp and low sec is by far much harder, if your a pirate. What gate guns mean to a pirate is an extra 400 DPS helping the other non-pirate guy, plus a lot of other headaches I won't go into here.
I happen to be in VETO corp and it's one of the best corps I've even been in. Not only are the members awesome but Verone runs a tight ship making VETO one of the most organized corps out there. I've been having some of the most fun I ever had playing a MMO since I joined these guys.
P.S. He isn't a fry cook hes a fluffer.
It seems to me that some 30 to 40 year olds that have to much money but not enough youth are just tring to get it to this new thingy called video games. It's not the idea that they want to have fun that bothers me it's the idea that people that can't read and instruction booklet or stratagy guide have that much disposable income.

Too bad I will not be support EA with my green backs ever.
Give us the server and game sourse to earth and beyond and I might start buying EA games again.
When is comes to MS and holding water I can't help but picture a screen mesh.
But is OS/Unix any better?
Lets face it one of the reason holes in MS are found so often is because their are a lot more people, from securty experts to lowly script kitties, looking for them.
Would the world be a safer place if we all used OS/UNIT starting tomorrow? Yes it would, but only until the next wave of script kitties, black hats, and malware devs got back up to speed.
WoW does not have a socal network. If you want a game with a wide socal network try EvE-Online. 120000 people 1 server corps (guilds) with thousands of members that accually work to geather to create content with in the game. When was the last time a WoW guild made the news on worldofwarcraft.com? Or on a freelance gameing news site?
WoW is a great game for bringing in a lot of fresh blood to the MMO crowd but their are MMO's that offer so much more and it's my hope that in time more and more people will see that and in effect we will see better MMO's.
I would like to point out that the PS1 was originally going to be a SNES add on. The PS1 controller looks like it's in between the SNES controller and the N64 controller as far as evolution goes. I think its a safe guess who it was, back when sony and nintendo were friends, designed the PS1 controller.
The thing is that the problem really doesn't lay with the violence in the ad but with the people that will be or have been exposed to the ad.
When you go to a PG movie all the previews before that movie are also rated PG, or under because it's wrong to knowingly expose minors to R rated video by putting it before a movie that will have a minor audience.
This ad raises a few major questions. Should the ESRB rate ads before the go into print? Should gaming mags, somthing that any 10 year old can buy, self sensor and keep the images in the previews and ads they show at a T for Teen level even if the game it self is M rated? If CBS showed 30 seconds of unedited video from the crazy 88 fight from Kill Bill as an ad the FCC would fine CBS for a sum that would most likly be on par or more than the revinew the ad generated. Should the ESRB do the same?
Our rights as free people are also are responsibility. When we fail in are responsibilities we fail to practice our rights and we put our fragile freedom in jeopardy. Those who would seek to rob us of are rights and freedom are quick to exploit any weakness we the people create through are own irresponsible acts.
Whoa o0; Then again maybe I'm getting a little to deep for just some silly ad that I'm sure wako jacko is drooling over right now. It's really up to the gaming community as a whole to decide. Do we responsibly self sensor? Or do we keep providing the rope the wako jacko's of the world need? Either way we need to hang together or we will surely hang apart at the hands of people like Jack.
I think its safe to say that most tech workers (or in my case medical/social) are above average in the fancy book learning area. The key words here are above average. We are out side of the average and so we are different and since we are different we get discriminated against on top of our skin, gender (the one that I feel sometimes because I am the only male in my work place), or what ever.
The forum (hosted at metalgearsolid.org) has been taken offline at the request of Government agencies following these news reports.
A few people have made comments about the site being shut down by the goverment. I would like to point out that you misunderstand. It was shut down by metalgearsolid.org at the request of goverment agencies. If metalgearsolid.org had refused their wouldn't be much the goverment could do. I'm not a big fan of alot of the people in goverment but if your gonna harp about the first amendment being volated you should ad lest make sure you fully understand whats going on. Other wise when it really does happen people will hear you and say that it is you who are cring wolf.
Maybe we will get a nice EvE-Online timbit on the main page when they do their massive server upgrade and get on the top 500 list of super computers later this yesr.
I'm not really aware of any game that can claim this as a wedge against the Content Demon.
I am. EvE-Online is such a game. The goal in the game is not to gain EXP rather it all about the isk (money). And they best way to get it is control of 0.0 (lawless) space. The problem? Well you need to fight for it defend it and get people to come work in it in order for it to all work. This makes the game as dynamic as the people that play it.
Hell yes. The corps (guilds) in EvE are massive and well organized. EvE is the only game I know where a person can get togeather 200 people to go invide someone else and the defender can accually get 200 people of his own on short notice to put up a fight.
I'm an EvE player and the worse scam took a year to pull off.
The Guiding Hand members who devastated Ubiqua Seraph took some 30 billion ISK in game money and assets, an amount that, if taken at current eBay exchange rates for EVE's virtual currency to real cash, comes in at a staggering $16,500.
As a privet citizen employed by the Lutheran church I have become concerned about the recent inappropriate actions and public comments by John B. Thompson aka Jack Thompson. In recent days he has incited violence against several people, and has attempted to "bully" news and creative outlets that have pointed this out with threats to sue. In the long term their is an entire history of him being just plain nasty to otherwise nice people asking honest questions about his legal beliefs and motives. Hes has also, in ignorance or in a just plain lie, has told major media outlets that the NFL is so sickened by the video game industry that they would not allow Midway ltd to use their logo when in fact EA simply secured exclusive rights to use the logo in their line of sports games. Below I have provided links to a handful of media and creative outlets that have had ongoing contact with John B. Thompson aka Jack Thompson.
