In other news, the guy whose desk was opposite mine has left my workplace.

He was a workshy idlefop so he was "managed out of the business"

Coincidence, or something more sinister?

With all the CCP staff leaving for better jobs, how long before EA buys out CCP?

Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch.

AK-47 wood grain Anshar is coming to get j00.

$5 to get the teabag taunt for CQ, as an added bonus get a second nut for your Thorax.
$5 to turn your Ark into a Kirov from C&C, as an added bonus get tesla coil nipple clamps for the missus.

I welcome our EA overlords.

Edit: You know when the Ark Kirov Edition undocks it says Kirov Reporting.

Between write-offs of "dead product" and the layoffs (nevermind those that leave), I'm still putting even odds on a buyout within a year.

Can't wait for the usual omens (BARDABUNGA ! !) and portents (remember that ECLIPSE that is coming up next year ?) that add such joy to a new owner's inaugural press release: ".... blah, blah, blah... blah, blah... business as usual... blah, blah..."

This will not end well...

It's the end of the Summer. Kids go back to school.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.
