    Zero Punctuation: Eve Online

    131: A Day in the Life of the Social Loner

    Very good article, though it sometimes hits a little close to home. Balancing a 40 hour work week, a social life, a girlfriend and gaming is hard enough without having to worry about bills, rent, your career and the way your relationship is developing. Pay the rent? Or get that next-gen...
