These days I’m
surprised by a few things, and this list changes as I forget what I
was previously surprised about, or something new comes along which
gives me another “What the FUCK!” moment that suddenly blasts one
of the other list members off into the void.
Never to be seen
again.
Until next time
anyway.
Did I mention the
memory thing?
I’ve just read
above this, turns out I did.
In a particular
order.
Some of my nose
hairs can be more than an inch long.
My urine stream
appears to have torque steer.
People seem to think
they need to post again and again that Eve Online is dying.
Now perhaps they are
just getting it wrong, and what they mean is Eve is being dyed,
perhaps with woad. Then we are destined to play a game that will
turn a lovely blue colour but won’t half pong a bit!
Now I don’t know
why people feel they need to post the same thing over, and over, and
over, and over, and over, and over again. I suspect lead in the
water, parents who are very close relations, and pressurised
liquefied cheese in a can.
I’m also deeply
suspicious that they are logged into the forums of other games,
assuming other games exist outside of Eve Online.
I’ve played Chess
before, so the natural extrapolation from that experience is other
digital games may exist, in a vast potential universe. For all I
know, the Bugblatter Beast of Traal has worked long and hard and has
now created their own planets version of Paradroid.
So while they’re
logged into these other forums, the challenged Earthlings, not the
creature from Traal, must also be posting the same thing, over, and
over, and over, well you get the idea, just to get a rise from other
forum dwellers.
When suddenly the
spotlight of attention swings their way, the mental image I have of
them is they rub their hands together, eye off the moisturiser cream
and try to hide yesterdays used tissues from Mother.
Everything is dying,
but in some places they are also dyeing.
Too far?
Universal Entropy
says everything around us is running out of energy, rather slowly
mind you, so you will still have to put the bins out and mow the lawn
this weekend.
Rather more
realistically the history of online gaming is strewn with the non
existent digital corpses of MMO’s that have come and gone, and now
only live on in our memories.
Will Eve Online be
switched off one day?
Almost certainly
yes.
Yes.
However to CCP, Eve
Online and CCP create the barycenter that everything else orbits
around.
They have a vested
interest.
So get out of
General Discussion and stop being such a little immature bitch.
