All very strange and meta. I read that as pirates mocking the traditional miner response to things like this - crying and name-calling on the forums. How ironic that (1) that's exactly what miners did and (2) it actually worked for the first time ever in the history of E-O forum fights. Heh, that’s a great point.

You are right. This video has the miners as Hitler, but I guess the miners are calling Helicity Hitler. In the video, though, Hitler (the miners) tells his people to go "wish them all cancer or something," which they did to Helicity. Confusing, no? Whoops! You are right.

I'm confused, though - I thought the video made fun of miners, but Helicity is a pirate, right? Confusing reverse-tears going on there. Good luck getting a computer that can run Eve! That was what brought me back in, too - I could do empire stuff okay on my old machine, but knew I couldn't handle fleet battles at all. Will look forward to seeing your blog. Hah, that’s great.

That video was hilarous, and apparently Helicity Boson went crazy after references from that. It can be found here, because I do not know how to do the tags outside of a .php forum. lol. http://www.ninveah.com/2010/01/epic-rant.html Anyway, I like your blog; I saw it on CrazyKinux's site. My blog is a little different, too. Or it will be a little different. I really wanna play EVE-Online, but my computer doesn't support it. I will, however, get a new one in the summer and join you all then. Good job, Stevie Haha! That video was hilarous, and apparently Helicity Boson went crazy after references from that.
