[PATV] Monday, February 4, 2013 - CheckPoint Season 2, Ep. 34: The Accidental War
I personally don't get the rage on the Wii U VC charges. Nintendo told us before the system launched that Wii VC titles weren't going to have GamePad support. Now, they're offering a solution for such, but are charging for it.
Nobody paid for GamePad support when they bought their Wii VC, and you can still play your Wii VC on your Wii U without paying a dime.
That is usually who I see at gamestop
I do find it odd that they are not really selling computer games and yet it's one of the few places you can get a steam card
@japh Cute comment but it actually makes no sense. It's both more likely, and less scary, for negative human behavior to show up in a consequence free environment.
Nice to know that Valve was doing some spring cleaning and stumbled across the old, unreleased Mac version of Half-Life 1.
Y'know, the one that was completely done save some testing, and that they cancelled because they didn't want to spend time making sure multiplayer always worked cross-platform.
No, I'm not still bitter, even though I totally them nowadays.

There's another one a few seconds later. Any time I see those, part of me always wonders if it's a Fight Club thing and has to rewind and watch again really carefully.
Excellent reporting on the Eve thing, Graham. That's one of those games that seems like it'd be cool because of stuff like that, but in reality would be way too tedious for me to ever play. So having someone break down what outlandish thing happened recently in a way that doesn't require me to already know all the intricate alliances and politics is always nice.
you're = you are
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
A better example would have been, promising someone a blackberry and giving them a old iphone since the iphone is a trendy pos and anyone with the least bit of tech knowledge can see it as a overpriced paper weight.

It's great that EVE continues to generate stories like this; and however hated they may be by large parts of the community it sure does seem like Goonswarm have their hand in more than a few of them. I love the Goons' antics in EVE... from a distance, as great a distance as possible.
I don't play Eve Online, although I do play Dust 514, so I'm technically part of that universe now. But I fucking love that it exists and that lunacy like this happens in it on what seems to be a fairly regular basis. Also, the mass of that ridiculously huge swarm of ships probably could cause some (slight) time dilation.
Also, add me to the list of people who'd rather not give credit card details to Microsoft or PSN. Purely for security reasons, though, not the weird/paranoid/criminal reasons Checkpoint (in jest, I'm sure) ascribes to this choice.

@Framiling: That's pretty much what I was thinking with that glitch. I rewound a dozen times just to pause at the right moment. Imagine my disappointment when it wasn't a picture of Graham with a mohawk.
[ Japh: Very scary that human behavior transcends into the virtual. Of course, when you look at Eve Online's player base it just makes sense. ]
Man, you would not believe. It is the oddest thing, but human behavior seems to follow (wait for it) human players. No matter how virtual the environment, the people and their relationships are quite real.
Just awesome that I was watching this wil having EvE open in another window. Didn't even hear about this battle through the game. Thank you CheckPoint!

Maybe they'll release the Dreamcast port next... it was so close to done a strategy guide went to print.

But yeah, I was still annoyed by that if just because the company that was doing the port ended up shuttering because of that.

Don't believe the Denialists! This is NO Typo! John Titor Was Correct!

Ah, EVE, the madness of the system.
For imagined reasons
A battle rages.
War never changes.

it's a lot like Joust, but it's great (I didn't get into Joust, so I'll say it's good and just came earlier).
Just go play balloon fight, even if it's an emulator...

Does anyone know of any particularly interesting studies published so far?
Also, I have Balloon Fight on the E-Reader! Remember when that didn't mean a Kindle?
