So, Pirates of the Burning Sea. Anyone else get in on the beta/stress test? I can't speak for others, but this could possibly get me back into on-line gaming and perhaps break my crippling Sims 2 addiction.

Yes, I know SOE is putting it out, but still, it's PIRATES fercryinoutloud. How can that not be totally awesome? As long as I can buckle some swashs and wemch me some buxom tavern wenches or beautiful governor's daughters, it's all good.

I've had a beta account for like two or three months now, but whenever I tried to start up the game it gave me some sort of error about the physics library not initializing or some shit, so I just gave up on it. I really should try to see if maybe I can get it to work again though. Game looked fun.

It's hardly fair to blame SOE so heavily considering that Lucasarts still signed off on everything that they did.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

Yeah, LucasArts is mostly to blame. They forced the changes on SOE since Star Wars as a whole was marketed as more of a cuddly happy hello kitty universe to appeal to a new generation of kids.

*vomits a little bit into his mouth*

.. anyway, that's why I love EVE Online. CCP hold all the rights to the brand name when they bought it back from the initial publisher (who they hated). No one tells them what to do.

Got it, Trying to download it (The patcher seems to be shady.)

Having trouble coming up with a good pirate name.

I was thinking Xbeard where X is any adjective that is not likely to describe a beard.

ex: Angstybeard

Wasn't EVE based on the Darkspace engine originally? Or am I just off my kilter?

No, the engine is in-house built and is called Trinity. The new graphics engine is Trinity 2. Everything in EVE is owned exclusively by CCP.

Which will make the upcoming World of Darkness MMO all the more awesome, since Whitewolf is now a partner with CCP and they can get it the way they want it without publishers fucking them up the ass.
