    I'm amazed I haven't seen an Escapist news article about the price of EVE's virtual goods yet....

    1) The only place you get to see this stuff is captains quarters. Captains quarters is the NON-massively multiplayer 3D version of the station buttons. After years of idle promises about Walking in Stations (which honestly I thought looked kinda cool) which was supposed to be a massively...

    Hold aggro till you know which side of the gate you're fighting on.

    The Big Man has left the building: RIP Clarence Clemons

    :( I was actually quite sad about this. Truly a great musician. Even if the name doesn't ring a bell you must have heard him.

    A film viewing room in a modern art gallery.

    stupidest thing you did today?

    Forever Alone (And Why Therapy Doesn't Seem to Get It)

    Yeah. I used to have some pretty nerdy pastimes and was probably in a similar boat with women etc. I still have my nerdy pastimes but I am getting married this autumn and am so much less messed up than I was in my 20's. I suppose at some point I would have thought something similar which is...

    Are older games better? Or is that just the Nostalgia talking?

    Sometimes they were. Back in the Z80 era I think I played more games where I had no idea how they worked. 8- and 16-bit eras though I think I played a lot of very similar games (generally platformers).

    Am I alone in disliking invincible NPC allies in FPS games?

    I think a lot of the time it's just the inevitable consequence of the rest of how the game and levels are designed. If you're gonna have non-invincible AI mates then you need the rest of the game to be built for it. In most modern shooters they throw a hojillion dumb NPCs at you and your...

    Are older games better? Or is that just the Nostalgia talking?

    Mmmm. Generally older games are "worse" and a lot of classics have not aged well at all if you dig the box out. The older games that I still enjoy are either: still good because they have strong writing and stuff outside of the "game" portion of them (if that makes sense - I am thinking of...

    Does anyone even care for Dragon Age 2

    I like it so far. Don't really get all the hate. I'm actually liking it better than DAO which left me a little cold. At least some of the changes strike me as progress and I like how they've made some effort with the art this time. DAO looked like Poser. The Qunari didn't look alien at...
