You have not a groat which you can call your own. .hectate 07/31/2006 - 22:59 EST Yes, I am severely lacking in the groat department. Or, at least, someone thinks that I am. For not once, but twice Mr. Noah Lester informed of the above title statement. While I have no reservations about my willingness to call a rare silver coin my own, desirability apparently has no determining facter upon any actual ownership. Coinage aside, his undoubtedly carefully constructed exhortation also included such jewels such as "Naps cast off his ragged cloak and revealed a very respectable suit of brown frieze and leather." and "It was not death that he feared, but the triviality of life." Imagine, then, my horror to discover that he was (gasp!) a plagarist! Indeed, a trusted informant was so kind as to tell me that the above quotes comes from The Blanket of the Dark by John Buchan. Seeing that Mr. Lester is a carbon-based lifeform of the lowest fashion (though a brown frieze and leather suit isn't much more fashionable) I am less inclined to take him up on his offer buying into EGLY, as strong of a buy as they may or may not be at this or any other given time. Deliberations upon the value of my most recent receipt of meat flavored products aside, I'm still fairly busy. I did have an opportunity (which was siezed upon with a passion) to enjoy the world of EVE Online on this past Saturday. If I had a regularly operating computer and an active link to the "internets," I would still be there, lost within the sheer size of an entire universe dedicated to my enjoyment. The vast array of options available was overwhelming, and that was before I even was able to make it out of the character creation process. Then I began the tutorial, which lasted approximately forever. You know, I marvel at the designer[s] that chose to include insurance for your spaceship. Such a small touch, but so appreciated. In EVE, if you lose your ship, it is lost. With so many options and different ways to invest in it, it stands to reason you would want a way to protect that investment. Anyway, I could go on all night about everything that I enjoyed about the game, but I won't. Instead I will just demand that you sign up for the Free 7-day Trial first and then decide if you think the game is right for you or not. You have no excuse not to at least try it, even if you have a crappy computer. Once again I have wasted another perfectly good news post with my insane rambling. Until next time then! |
