That is some horrific crap fiction.

A n00b plunges himself head first into the dark scary domain of 0.0 low security space in the MMORPG Eve Online, with only a keen sense of adventure to aid him in his merry quest. What will his exciting journeys through space hold in store for him? When will he stop wanking into kleenexes over Xena reruns? Why doesn't his acne dissapear when he prays really, really hard to Cthulu? How can he have so much spare time and yet achieve so little in life?

Like a returning runaway train, I frantically headed back to the station, with the spilled blood of three pilots now drenching me in a torrential storm of sadness.

lemme just say that I find the Eve Online creative vision about 10000x more attractive than the derivative crap that is WoW. (Not that I play MMORPGs, but I respect what the Eve peeps are trying to do).

Eve is on the short-list of games that really exceed what I think my talents are in game design.

The accordion thief lay at my feet, his meat helmet a dozen feet away, drenched in spicy sauce. I fought down my k-ramen as I tried to look away, anywhere -- at the advancing army of knob gnolls, at my bloodied, smiling volleyball companion -- anywhere but the ground beef not far away. I had derided the puritan instincts of the boozetefarians for the last time. Today I would join their ranks.

Eve Online was a month-long passion for me. I quit for many of the reasons that compelled him to go into 0.0 space, there's just no fun in doing cargo runs. I will maybe rejoin the game sometime, and go on this same kind of adventure.

His writing is really superb, perhaps Eve will spawn a sci-fi book series, in which case I'd nominate him to take a crack at a little novella.

Met Innominate while he was in ASCN space and he's a nice fellow.

Played quite a few MMO in my time, and Eve takes the crown.

EVE Online as a concept really appeals to me. How it would suck up all my free time is pretty much the only reason why I just play City of Heroes/Villains, which allows for a much more casual sort of gameplay.

He seems to be fond of 'wallowing in sadness'. I can only imagine the depths of sadness he will wallow in when someone is in his base, killin his d00dz.
