Funny video and the bad harmonica version of the Jurassic Park theme is hilarious however.... the game is actually really damn fun!
It's really a true space sim without much of a story line. A rough comparison can be made to Minecraft (before single player story came out) only many MANY orders of magnitude larger. Or really any great sandbox game out there without much story.
If you like space, sci-fi, exploring, and discovering, then this game is for you. One of my only wishes for this game is for a true multiplayer component, but for now it's Zen and the Art of Space Exploration. Soundtrack by 65daysofstatic is incredible, and only barely surpassed (for me) by the Eve Online ambient soundtracks.

Yeah... I think the one poster that some other guy did is a better representation. Some odd CGI choices here to, no textures, but let's put high gloss reflections and water reflections. Lists like this will always leave questions on why wasn't ship A included, like the one from Aliens, they include several Babylon 5 ships but not the station itself. Lots of focus on ships from the Halo series, Eve Online, etc... and yeah, some of the scales seemed off compared to what I thought.

Of course far better than anything I could have done.

Oh and yeah @ChaosEngine , I really need to finish the Culture series. I've only read the first one so far. Aside from one fan fiction short (http://videosift.com/video/Something-Real) I haven't seen the series addressed yet.

More realistic EvE online experience

Fake, description says its fan made, plus it cuts in footage from Home world and Eve online

I'll stick with Eve Online I've played since 2003 for multiplayer
For amazing sandbox single player I'll stick to tried and true X series X3 has higher learning curve than eve but setting up mining / build a space station and hire cargo ships to run your trade routes while you hung pirates in a fighter is fun

Apparently one of the foreign service workers killed at the US Embassy in Libya was Sean Smith, known to EVE Online players as "Vile Rat", a very well-respected diplomat for the SomethingAwful "Goonfleet".
He'd posted a least one concerning message earlier that evening to the effect that their police "protection" was taking photos of the compound, and was on messaging client Jabber with other players when the attack began.

It's worth noting that "Innocence of Muslims" is probably not the "cause" of the unrest. The trailers were released back in July. Someone (some group) kept it to use as a tool\weapon and unleashed it in a coordinated manner around the anniversary of Sept 11th.
I'm not usually one to put much heft in conspiracy theories, but this really seems like a masterful stroke of coordinated manipulation. To put it more succinctly: I believe this was a terrorist act. I can't rule out the possibility that this was just an incredibly unfortunate coincidence in a volatile region, but I doubt it.

Haha I totally noticed that too!

What the hell am I watching? Pick any random vid from Unsifted and I'll bet it makes more sense than this.


Only for those who do not know the magnificence that is EVE Online.

If you really want to be an asteroid miner, just play EVE online.

naw, this is a fake, but a really good one - there is this dude who is writing an EVE Online blog who sounds oddly familiar... but who cares- writing this stuff takes some serious metal brah :-p

So that's why I'm single, I'm into Eve Online and never touched WoW... damn.

You can't critique something you've played literally less than 10% of.

Seriously, I'm not generally one of the people who get pissed off at his reviews. However, when 90% of what he's saying is very obviously wrong, I have a problem with that. [...]


Imagine me as a back then Eve Online nerd when he did his review of that playing the game like a single player :-)

For the record- I still enjoy his videos.

TLDR: I feeeel your paaaaaaaain.

I fly a Moros in EVE Online (the ship that is destroyed.)

I will see every planet BURN from orbit before I let some squeaking pre-pubescent child get within eyesight of my 2.85-billion-pound engine of death.

I never could get into Eve. I've tried, multiple times, but no.


I've never tried it but I really like it conceptually. I like the idea that MMOs can simulate a fictional reality and that there's good and bad in that, excitement and tedium. I like when there are few rules and that those that do exist are enforced in-universe whenever possible.

But I also have no interest or willingness to pay a subscription to play a game.
