Because they gave us a giant copper statue that we were too cheap to clean once in a while?

@kinggiddra: I've been playing for a few days now, did the tutorial, some of the career stuff and am now doing the Sisters of Eve. I'd like a corp to play with, so I'm going to try to apply in-game. Botto delaser is my space flying guy man!

Got it, thanks guys! I actually played a decent amount this weekend and am now a newbie. I think I like it, although I'm totally bewildered. Going to look into how to hunt combat signatures and start ratting.

I just picked it up for the hell of it; however, is there any gamepad support in the game? Just curious.

Link to these streams?

Also, I miss the Daily Dota. I enjoy the personalities, conversations, and #bigplays.

Who does killing yourself with Dota constitute as feeding?

What exactly is this piece of advice, as it reads like a narrative:

It’s similar to a piece of advice I gave in my coffee talk video from earlier this week. Someone asked about how to prepare for interviews, easily one of the most daunting parts of covering games, especially if you’re new. When I first started, I would meticulous prepare for my interviews by having a printed document with 20 questions or so. Little thought went into the interview itself. I would read the question, listen to the response, and then ask the next one on the list. As I became more confident in myself, I would rely on those questions less and less, until they became vague topics to fall back on if the conversation stalled. These days, I hop into the interview and figure the discussion itself will lead to something worthwhile. It’s no more of a calculated gamble than allowing a preconceived notion strangle where an interview goes.

I fear that it is going to give people the wrong impression that 'going with your gut' is the right way to approach things like this, when, in fact, it's because Patrick did so many interviews beforehand, using the appropriate preparation, that his 'gut' was at all reliable for leading a conversation and steering it into an interesting direction. Don't discount your expertise, and don't give people bad advice. Follow the steps, learn to do things the right way, then branch out.
