    EVE Online

    Meh. According to our scanning site I've scanned down over 660 wormholes on my main since we started tracking that (probably over 1k total) and I've used deep space probes like twice. 4/3/3/3 is plenty, higher is convenient but absolutely not something you should worry about before you even know...

    EVE Online

    Missions are terrible. join a corp, get to nullsec, have fun. if you need isk, look at wormholes. Missions are the most terrible awful unfun thing you can do in any video game right now.

    Blood Bowl

    Interesting game, although I'm very bad at it right now. I sort of get the mechanics (a little bit) but positioning strategy.... not so much.

    EVE Online

    Incursions used to be decent money.. are they still okay? Better if you box multiple characters of course. The isk to be found in wspace is sickening. The main issue wspace corps have after a while is maintaining interest when everyone is running around with 50-100B isk handy. Some standard...

    Firefall

    I'm probably a bit late to the party, but just tried out the firefall beta and have been having a lot more fun than I expected. It seems like a nice blend of fps/planetside 2 with a bit of WoW and some other good influences. Not sure how it will turn out, but it certainly seems promising right...

    EVE Online

    I tried it back in June and wasn't terribly impressed, but willing to take another look when it released. The graphics at that time were sub par and while the fittings were cool, the gameplay itself seemed very derivative. How is it looking these days? I might log in, should have a bunch of...

    MTG thread

    I enjoy the cardboard version of MtG, haven't really gotten all that sucked into the online version. The game is a lot more interesting now than I remember it being in my childhood. It seems like a good outlet for competitive tendencies while still getting out and being a bit social.

    Well, now what?

    I really wish Eve would just remove missions entirely so people would stop doing them. Missions are the very worst form of PvE in any game I've played ever. They are incredibly repetitive and provide some of the worst isk income ever. With just a few days of training, I could hop into wormholes...

    Well, now what?

    Eve Online is the only game I've managed to play for more than 3 months since my burnout on WoW during the Burning Crusade era. Your actions having actual meaning and the ability to really lose shit makes stuff a lot more fun and interesting. It isn't for everyone, but is worth trying if you...

    Hawken F2P

    Seems really well done and more fun than expected. Respawning FPS stuff is not really my thing, but I could easily see this game doing well.

    Investing

    Are there any forms of investing that are considered higher risk, but expected value/ROI goes up to compensate? I remember wishing I had 20k to dump into BoA when it was at 6$, because it seemed like the odds heavily favored buying some stock and if I did end up losing my 20k it wasn't a bid...

    EVE Online

    Any good summaries about what has happened in 0.0 for the past year? Been inactive so haven't been paying attention, but there appears to be some major changes in the power of various players. Goons/Test seem to be doing well, Xdeath seems to be signficantly reduced, Solar seems stronger, AAA...

    Software Engineering or Computer Science?

    My main suggestion here is don't go get another Bachelors. A bachelor's in CS is 90% stupid hoops that you really don't want to go through again. The only valid classes (for a software dev career) are maybe whatever the intro class is, the data structures class, the algorithm analysis class, and...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    The April MMO probably already has the staff it needs from the positions they are reducing. Letting people go after a major launch seems fairly common, and it is also a good time to cut the weaker contributors and look for better ones. They are still hiring for the positions that are hard to...

    Worst / Most disappointing game of 2012? Rerolled edition

    Another vote for D3 from me... Was unlikely to meet the sky high expectations, but damn, what a turd.

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    I've had similar issues on the ipad. Fun playing the same game again, but the touch interface is a pain. I mildly regret the $10 purchase, but not tons.
