Stick and stones may break my bones, but words have a 15% chance of a critical hit.

I think the problem is in the presentation, not necessarily the reading requirement.

There is no reason to transport PLEX other than RMT (real money transaction) online schemes, similar to WoW gold farmers. They fly it out to a spot, meet the buyer and jettison it with a cargo container. This way there is no electronic record of the PLEX exchanging hands such as in a market like Jita... Otherwise CCP…

I agree on the alt front, I don’t use them myself, but it makes travel through the more dangerous parts of space a bit of an adventure to put it mildly. :) I have a 2nd account, but it’s been inactive for quite some time.

I see. :) My own character is about a decade old now, so skill points are not an issue. I can pilot just about anything smaller than a Capital ship with close to perfect skills.

I think overall making plex trading safer and more granular is better for everyone and especially for new players who may not realize the risks they are running moving it around in a ship. That said, most new player guides emphasize getting the skill to place a jump clone very early on and then using that to place a…

“safe” and “profitable” do not go hand in hand. Being in low-sec or null-sec space is incredibly lucrative (if you do things right) and can easily afford to buy PLEX after awhile. The problem is that you SOMEHOW have to get that plex to you to activate it. If you have a high enough notorious ranking (I forgot what it…

I’m going to go out on a limb here and just say I’m confident a 30 times Pulitzer prize winning publication is not losing sleep over kids with webcams.

Nice one! Out of my league...stuff of legends

A lot of people can see shaking hands when it isn’t over as bad luck. Unless the handshake equals a concede, as in if it were to 3 and the Japanese player was wrong, offering the handshake was on him rather than on the winner. In some games/scenes typing “gg” in a game is an affirmation of concession, like in SC2. In…

Definitely a fantastic job title to have, and worth printing business cards just for that.

To put it another way: one of George Orwell’s longtime friends and sometimes critics complained of him: “He cannot blow his nose without opining on the moral state of the handkerchief industry.” Well, I am the same way.

Seriously? It’s not even out on video yet.

So a dude with more money than most people see in their lives chose to take advantage of economically-disadvantaged individuals for the sake of some anti-Semitic “humor,” and is now surprised that there are consequences that go with that kind of behavior.

Got it.

Having read some of the comments on the previous article…

That might have been the original idea but the core of Destiny is flawed right down to its development tools and workflow, and the only way to fix it is to start from scratch.

Lol well thanks, I appreciate that. I was more being snarky with the cult thing, not really being sincere there.

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

That’s kind of how capitalism craftsmanship works, you pay more than the base cost because it saves you the time and effort and they can likely do it better than you

rumour has it there was a circumcision option in the beta, but it was cut.

I’d say those games are implicitly political, in that they model systems analogous to those that exist today. Farmville functions as a managed capitalist system, for instance, giving minimal rewards for time and more for money.
