It's number 2 on the list. Funny stuff.

Several of EVE's previous appearances on a Cracked List are also linked in the article. If only EVE-O posters were as funny.

On a more related note: gates are for plebs.

Even funnier that we made the list for autopilot for not warping to zero on gates, they see it as a d**k move. Pirate

Oh all the things to moan about they chose autopiloting... I dunno, just seems a little weak.

Autopiloting may have been a weak choice, but it was well-written. Case in point...

You might as well set your ship to transmit "FREE KILL HERE!" and replace the autopilot with a starmoth attracted by enemy laser fire.

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

"Making the multimillion-dollar EVE Online game functionally identical to a Windows 3.1 screensaver."

Ahahaha

"Bots and scripts are normally evil, but when the game is specifically designed to trap you in a prison of minimalist data entry where you press three keys a minute, that's not cheating, that's psychological self-defense. Altering the autopilot code was less a hack than a basic intelligence test."

Here's a hint: make this part of the game more interesting. Or just automate it outright.

what a ******** article. Lets write an informative piece on the space shuttle by ranting about the color of one of the radio antennas for the entire article.

waste of bandwidth.

Tell you what I do like though: A killer. A dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold-blooded, clean, methodical and thorough.

Autopilot warping to zero, what a luxury it is....

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

At least we don't have to pay to increase bustsize, unless of course it a later life augmentation. Hmm. I wonder???? Do these make my head look small?

If you'd read the other articles linked from that one, you'd see they cover more than one base. But then, it's a comedy site, not a ******* news site. Perspective and a sense of humor, get some.

Well i only read the linked one. And it seemed a typical weakling boo hoo fest. More annoying than funny. I think ill steer clear of the rest. Glad you're entertained by it though.

The only reason this article was written was for the author to be able to get his employer to pay the cost for an online sex game. The hardest part was walking into the editor's office with a straight face.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Yeah I don't get this "commuting" angle they're going for. Nor is rewarding a player who's actually at the keyboard with faster travel times a dick move.

What a shitty Cracked article. Although I suppose you could say that very same phrase about most Cracked articles.

CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude.

I completely expected something about the blinkscorps.

Instead found an article on the way gate travel used to work.

One of the weakest point's I've ever seen.

The point of the 15km is that you shouldn't be able to walk away from your computer an be totally safe.
It punishes stupidity.

Good thing in my opinion.
