An independent look at games for Mac
Some things should never be spoken. Some things should never be transcribed. But myself and Russell did speak and we did transcribe, and so here’s our bastard child: a talk on skill in EVE Online, which really isn’t much about EVE as it uses EVE as a starting point. It’s a monster in terms of length and a beast in terms of focus, but if you’re a patient soul who can wade through self-glorifying pontification then there’s bound to be something of interest within.
In my first draft of this article I criticized Judith as I would have done in a fiction workshop. Don’t obfuscate details. Consider Powell’s gosling rule. With two perspectives, one may lose a permanent, emotional connection to either protagonist. I consider the above as compliments. My natural inclinations were to judge this game as I would have judged a written, static work of fiction. With time to think, I’ve decided this isn’t quite the best path.
