Edited by: Larg Kellein on 03/09/2008 16:24:26 If I didn't know he hates all games, and that a review of one he actually loved would suck (due to limitations in his vocabulary, I believe he is unable to utter positive words), I would say he was tending towards the negative in this review.
Factually, he's not really that far off, he just shoots himself in the foot thinking Eve can be reviewed in 14 days in an npc corp.

Certainly the glorified chat room bit is right
And I've said for a while I'd like more NPC content (always shooting the same NPC's over and over or the same rocks over and over. The reviewer clearly didn't try COSMOS, of which I wish we had more of)
_______ People like that don't have friends just temporary common interests.

Check out his review of the orange Box, he actually has soem positive things to say there (even if grudgingly).

I dont much care for his reviews other than for comedic value. EvE certainly is still a nitch game and as such only devoting 2 weeks and avoiding player corps is pretty much like saying hes reviewing the game because his boss threatened to drop him. Oh well. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:
Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.

He is pretty much spot-on in a lot of places.

I really enjoyed the "shoe on head" comment. Wonder if it was intentional or accidental to bring up that moment in eve tourney history.

Review was everything I was expecting and hoping for under the circumstances, and it was funnier than last week's to boot. A+ would watch again.

I liked the bestower shooting the dominix.
Although yes, the first 14 days do sort of suck no matter what you do (train real skills? I still can't do shit; train learnings? I can not do shit faster!!)
I wonder which race he played to start - willing to bet he wasn't actually flying the domi ingame.

Considering he intentionally sat in a NPC corp and only did PvE, can you possibly have expected anything else ?

Nice... hes spot on...
It made me wonder why i play this game...
But then i realized its only to have something pretty to click on my windows box while i work in an ssh session to a linux box on my sparc64 bsd box and admire my macbook pro but not really use it much and watch the cute girl on CNN talk crap about that VPILF hottie Palin while i watch the people on CNBC on another TV talk about how horrible my stocks are doing, all to satisfy my raging ADHD.
Then i realized i AM one of those nerds who are to nerds what nerds are to normal people. Suddenly everything makes sense! I have achieved that clarity i once had that one time i was on acid for a week in 9th grade!
And yes I do have a minifridge filled with beer and redbull, hotpockets in the little freezer too, within reach. And little microwave on top so i never actually have to get up to do anything other than pee, and not even that if theres an empty bottle within reach.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not agreeing with most of what was said - and consciously deciding not to join a corp is pretty much deciding that you don't want to have fun, in my experience. Doesn't stop it being funny though, which is what it's for, right?

That's what 80% of EvE players want to do, so I'm reliably informed.

So the Orange Box was the only thing he ever liked. Have you ever thought of recruiting from Valve?
You'd also get better office pinatas.
