    columbine paintball.....

    This appears to be some form of elaborate but unsophisticated anarchist troll. However if the facility did exist I think it would be a little hypocritical to get angry about people indulging their morbid curiousity through re-enactment, given how many people indulged their morbid curiousity...

    Zero Punctuation: 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand

    Last week I was watching a youtube video where comedian Stewart Lee basically says exactly the opposite of what Yahtzee is saying here. And you know what? I think both men are completely right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K21e7po1Sro

    Why aren't girls into gaming?

    Would you mind qualifying that with a 'some people'?

    None of those quotes mention intelligence, except one, which says that "To weave a net first the essence of intelligence. The Definition of Insanity is to jump believing you can weave the net midair." Which is pretty much what you're doing. You leap on a position and then invent evidence to...

    Are you insane? "If the game had been better, he wouldn't have hated playing it with people he hates!"

    IIRC MWD will help you against missiles (as you can, effectively, outrun the explosion) but hurt you against guns on account of the large signature radius it gives you. Drones generally eat frigates for breakfast, but if you can pop them fast enough while tanking the main ship you'll be alright...

    Wrong. He joined the alliance and discovered he enjoyed playing with them before any of that happened.

    Not really. You see, the Punisher doesn't have any real bonus to lasers. All it gets is a 10% bonus to Small Energy Turret capacitor use per level, and guess what? Autocannons don't use cap anyway. They do require that you get in close, but you want to do that anyway because orbiting at 500m...

    I used to fly around 0.0 behind enemy lines in an autocannon Punisher (amarr frigate) and try to gank cruisers. When the system was too busy for me to risk warping in on anyone I'd recite Edward Lear's nonsense poetry to them in Local.

    No, it simply happened after he'd joined the goons in-game, found he enjoyed playing with them in-game, and arranged to defect in-game.

    No, because it didn't. As far as I can tell from the logs, Haargoth joined the goons in-game, found he enjoyed playing with them in-game, and arranged to defect in-game.

    The BoB defector is named Haargoth Agamar. The Mittani (or 'Mittens') is the head of Goonswarm Intelligence and has been since 2006. He was the one who took over once Tamir Lenk, (oh god why do half these people sound like Cardassians?) the low-ranking goon who recruited Haargoth realised he was...

    There's no reason to suspect Eve of faking player counts, because there's no evidence to suggest they have. You might as well accuse Blizzard of the same thing, and it would be more plausible because Blizzard claims far less modest numbers. And if you read the chat logs, you'll see that the...

    Then why are you spending so much time and clutching at so many straws to make the game look bad, Yetich? Why did you lie about the content of the chatlogs, Yetich? Inquiring minds want to know.
