Man, so bummed that so much of WIdot has ended up working with GSF and the Mittani. Not a big fan of N3PL either, but really can't stand them, even though we were allied with them during the end of NC

Not a big fan of N3PL either but I was allied with them for some time. Then Wldot came along and I joined them. GSF are turds. I'll never surrender to them. NC is pretty great though.

Isn't there a guy code (ugh, can't think of a better term) against severe harm to other man's genitalia? Kind of like the South Park episode when Butters kept on shooting dudes in the dick?

When he said it a second time, I yelled "DUDE! SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Close. He was a lawyer.

Also I never thought I'd say this, but Patrick has better facial hair. :{>

The written article was great but I never expected to get the audio interview as well. God I love this site.

The other interviewee seemed much cooler. I listened to the interviews in reverse, and I ended up wishing the other side had won. This dude seems like such a douche in the worst way.

I couldn't make it through this interview because the guy kept mixing metaphors.

"To put it in non-eve terms. No, to put in in card game terms..."

"They put their dick on the table, then we bring out the cleaver..."

Christ. Something tells me he isn't used to speaking without being able to rely on jargon. EVE needs the equivalent of Neil DeGrasse Tyson who both understands the subject and can speak to the uninitiated about it.

@wjb: Not sure if its a "man code" or not but it seems to go against acting like a decent human being. Makes him seem very unlikable.

Considering the goon swarm are basically the "bad guys" of EVE corporations, I think this guy does a good job playing the part.

I know, right? What a classy fellow. *eyeroll*

You can tell Gianturco spends way too much time on the Internet, because he has all the lingo and social graces of a 14-year-old who just had a couple Red Bulls. I have to imagine he doesn't exactly spend a small amount of time on SomethingAwful.
