Having played Eve...yeah, I can sorta agree with what he's saying. The game is absolutely IMMENSE, but you need a degree in rocket science to be able to grasp it all.

Yes.  To me, it is definitely not something most can grasp in the 14 day trial.  Also, getting into a corp helps immensely with learning the ropes and with experiencing much of what makes EVE so great.  It is indeed like a second job, though.

Another classic week. Love all the sight gags and one-liners.

This guy just rules.

So you're left with a game experience that could be recreated by walking down a wide road in the middle of nowhere while stopping every five steps to crack yourself in the eye with a hammer ... and the road is a million miles long ... and the hammer is made of wank.

He pretty much echoes my thoughts about the game.

Really? I thought this was the weakest one in a long time. While I don't disagree with with him on the game, I didn't think any of it was particularly funny, and there was a good 30 seconds of nothing but "Noooooo" on an already short review. Plus it felt more like a real review than anything that witty.

very accurate.  light on the funny, but it perfectly captures the frustrations many people had with the game.  even though i enjoyed it, i really wish they had worked on a number of things, all of which he mentions. 

boy, that last line is scathing though.  i got a feeling this one really pissed him off rather than just annoyed him.

I agree with everything posted here. Not too funny of a review (but it has its moments), but he does hit all the major issues with the game.
