EVE: Online Crime

According to Giant Bomb, the off-beat and totally cool MMO EVE Online recently encountered their first major class criminal. For people not familiar with EVEO, it's players make up the main government, which includes actually governing and making laws. Players can also own corporations such as banks, and hire real employees to work as tellers and other underlings. (This is how I understand it, someone correct me if I'm wrong)
The story goes like this: a teller went bad, and embezzled over 80 million ISKs (the main currency in EVEO) and took off. No, they didn't just sell the money online and kill their account. They weren't banned by a GM, or asked to give the money back. Players are now conducting a manhunt across the EVE galaxy looking for this person, to get the money back to the bank company.
As you can imagine, the players that had their money in the bank started to go and withdraw funds in a panic, even after the company made a public announcement that they had the funds to cover the loss.

Crazy, crazy, awesome.

First Impressions: Saga

Upon the 1up Network give away of the new "MMORTS" Saga,(Silverlode) I was lucky enough to download a copy and get an impression. Two words: Not Finished. BUT OF COURSE you're probably saying now, IT'S STILL IN BETA. Oh, it's off the hook then. But that's what this beta is: not finished. But hey, it has it's potential, and every time I boot it up, it has to update, so I'm assuming that means they're working on it. Also, check out this nifty little article about the ESRB.

ANYWAYS, this game has some large flaws, the most notable being almost completely floating units. Eww! It's also, well, really hard to use and understand. I still don't quite get how to deploy my troops. And why does my "CP" number look like a date. It's like 04/23/150. ???? But it is still in open beta, so I'll give it a break. For now.

AND........nothing else to talk about, except GTA IV, but you know, I'm just not gonna go into that. I think everyone's had enough GTA 'talkin.
Bye for now.

What I'm playing: Day of Defeat: Source, Saga(duh), and
Company of Heroes.


SUPER DUPER!!
