Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Sounds like someones jealous they couldn't take 2 weeks of paid leave for a video game expansion. Just sayin'. Lol

Nope, I easily could.

I would just, you know.. do family stuff, go have fun, sleep in, enjoy life. I'd play the game but it would never be a REASON to. That just screams FOREVER ALONE.


lol, discuss my private life in a serious business space ships forum? This screams forever alone. :D

my schedule won't change much:

1. eat pie
2. watch unhealthy amounts of midget po-rn
3. play video games
4. repeat steps 1 and 2 until bed time, sprinkle in some step 3 as needed.

condense life to 4 steps and nothing will ever bother you again.

You'd have to ask Tear Miner.

French Toast is pure win Xmas time food and actually healthy, it contains carbohydrate in form of starch, as well as significant amounts of protein and choline. Way better thank cake and all you need to have a good time shooting reds boxes in space!
Too bad all those towers will go offline two weeks or so after the patch, it would have been added sirup on my french toast if I could reroll my static and K162 into systems with new toys to plunder all day. One can't have everything I guess.

If I took 2 weeks paid vacation I'd just fly around in my private jet, eating caviar, drinking champagne having sex with Beyonce none stop, I'd never play this game on whose forum I'm obviously on in the middle of the day. God guys, you are so forever alone.

Damn nature, you scary!

If only it were possible to do that.

If I am lucky I might get a chance to move a ship tonight.



If i did get that time off, it would not be wasted on a video game either.

I send my wife on a trip or 2 a year and tell her I can't come to much work at the office. Than take a couple days off and set around in my underwear playing EVE all day and eating fast food.

The Wife, "I'm thinking about flying down to Florida."

Me, "Oh that sucks! Too much work! Why don't you take your sister? Yeah just charge her airfare. I wish I could come, you are so lucky!"

Oh yeah why does it seem the OP is getting a bit buthurt. Maybe you should take a little break from the forums.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

I actually wonder how the T3 BCs will change the low-end WH space, since they shoot like BS but fit through those N110s.

Why would you be laughing at them for taking PAID leave? I mean, he gets to sit home and play video games and still get paid. Pretty smart if you ask me. Blink

If it floats your boat to take two weeks holiday of work to play EVE then fair play to you, each to their own I suppose.

Um... Crucible is a fantastic expansion at all.

But there's no real extra content here, just a couple of fixes, tweaks, mechanic changes and a ship or two.

I don't see any reason to take off a day, let alone weeks to play it.

Crucible is no Apocrypha... sorry.

Dont know probably play Skyrim, or Mass Effect series. Then check the forum for any unexpected shenanigans, then probably same things as i did pre-expansion.

I know i am such an downer.


That, and Saints Row The Third + Arkham City.

There's X Rebirth too but who cares..

Hmm... new nebulae, over 40% of the ships with new graphics (some with new models), new T2 modules, new deadspace modules, new battlecruisers, a whole bunch of new UI stuff (not tweaks), time dilation (not mechanic change but an entirely new mechanic) and the list goes on...
