i was bored a little and though i'd see new articles there were about EE, this was one of the newer ones i found.
but...

"The chat logs, pulled from an obscure online game called Earth Empires,... " obsucre?

"...,which challenges players to govern a country and make decisions about economic and military tactics, is largely based on typing in commands."
wtf?! all these years i was using 0-9's and my mouse!? why did no one tell me i could play this game from a terminal!?!

sometimes the media makes me wonder if they only check for screenshots and assume what they want...

I think they were referring to the game being more primitive, not the forums.

I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.

I want more primitive forums.

With all your stupid sigs and all the data, titles, post counts etc on every post the content/text ratio is still only about 1/2. That means half the crap my eyeballs see is useless repetitive garbage.

I can't argue with any of that. Mainly because I can't read it, but the picture makes me wonder.

The blog pang quote was just a repetition about Jared's stuff... How he post on the net about raping xxx or suiciding and stuff.. and the most interesting part is, and i quote, 'Mr. Loughner also harrass and 'land grab' other people's country'

duh.
