I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

My favorite part of the Kevin Havens story is still his writing self-insertion fiction where one of the guys from Squeeze is running a mannequin dating service and hooks him up with a living mannequin. It's somewhere between wish fulfillment and fever dream.

EveOnline GoonSquad (and really, a lot of the EVE drama and stuff) could be the material for a book, podcast, and graduate thesis. It's just so weird and sprawling.

Like how goons figured that using low-level puddle jumper ships to kamikaze was a valid exploit. And how the devs were like "poo poo yeah, that works, go on"

Goonswarm is featured in a Dark Horse comic series and has a major part in a Kickstarted Eve history book, which cracks me the gently caress up.

One of the more famous mods was involved with them and ended up in the news. I can’t remember who though. His name sounded kind of like deadmau5? Meanrodent or something.

Vilerat, who is also one of the 4 Americans to die in the Benghazi incident and was on Goonswarm voice chat immediately before it happened

Yes, this means Benghazi is technically a goon saga and is why many of us are touchy about people using their deaths to score political points

The deep cut is vilerat had a long running thread about insane bullshit that posters' families forwarded to them, with lots of examples of his mom being buttfuck crazy

They invited his mom to the Republican national convention to speak

Vilerat, OP of "post your crazy political email forwards," became subject of millions of crazy political email forwards. A suitably ironic in memoriam for a goon mod.

The only thread I ever created in QQC was to put him back on when they removed him for some reason. Obviously that thread devolved into a GBS/FYAD flame war about TCC.

I don't know what "K15JD" means but he has a hat. It must be a Squeeze song, an ICP album or a catalog number for a doll head. I'm sure there's a 6 paragraph explanation of it somewhere on the forum. It's loving fascinating to me even after (I think?) 4 threads.

iirc it's his amateur radio call sign

I don't think amateur call signs ever have 2 numbers in them (least not in the US) but other than that it would fit.

Hillary's email server was also set up by a goon, who asked for advice on SA about how to do it

This means the entire 2016 presidential election was the result of two Goon Projects colliding.

As 'shocking' as it turned out that the power hungry star wars obsessed mod was a pedophile, what turned the mods and admins against him 100% was that his "disclosure" to them about after caught out was a real scummy "im sorry people are upset about this" and he seemed to have little to no concern or remorse about his crimes.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



In the 3 1/2 years since police in Canada’s biggest city established a special unit to tackle child pornography, investigators have been through so many dwellings packed with sci-fi books, DVDs, toys and collectibles like Klingon swords and sashes that it’s become a dark squadroom joke. “We always say there are two types of pedophiles: Star Trek and Star Wars” says Det. Ian Lamond, the unit’s second-incommand. “But it’s mostly Star Trek.”
