I know I toot EVE's horn a bunch but this is a monthly show CCP put together for their game.

Granted it was light on the "this is what the devs are working on stuff" they go and actually do other things related to the game and what players are doing.

It also features some random drunk Icelandic dude teaching you how to pronounce a ship name because that's a running joke in EVE (the devs pronounce poo poo the Icelandic way, the players say it however we want).

The fact CIG can't even do stuff like this now, after having done it with Wingman's Hangar before, is really loving comical.
It definitely seems like CIG should only be producing one or two videos a month if they want to fill it with fluff.

Gimme all your numbers so I could phone you

Not on the desktop, let me get you another soda
Now before you come, I need you to shave yo chocha
You do or you don't or you will or won't you
Buy a JPEG and practice agriculcha

I still think Cherie is the frontrunner in this undeclared race for an alternative female face for CIG. She's textbook "adorkable" -- and gets so much fan reaction when she shows up on Twitch shows. (Which is less and less frequently, to no one's surprise whatsoever...)

I can hardly bring myself to even read, much less, post on that forum.

Its easy to be frugal when your poor. After all, by strict accounting practices CIG carry an estimated 31.5M in liability for 700,000 undelivered SQ42 games valued at 45$ apiece.

I actually think, now that there is a recurring joke about Sandi firing young, attractive females, they are safer at CIG than ever. After all, the portrait of Sandi in The Escapist story is not one she's eager to reinforce.

quote:

""(Sandi) would write emails with so much profanity. She would call people stupid, retard, human being. Accuse men of not having balls. And she was incredibly hostile to other female employees," CS4 stated. "Sandi is very jealous. She has to be the queen bee at the company. Whenever I was around her, I felt like I was in the presence of a cobra who, at that moment, might not have been inclined to strike but was completely willing to. You don't get on her bad side," CS3 added. "There were two things you were told, when you were hired. One, you don't talk about [Roberts and Gardiner] being married, to anyone. Ever. And two, you don't make Sandi mad."
So, I don't think there is cause to worry, personally.

Ahhhh. I assumed I was supposed to believe they'd been frugal all along.
