ISKs, Aphasias, and Becoming Jasper Beardley; or “You shot who in the what, now?”

The Escapist : News : More EVE Online Shenanigans: GoonSwarm Ganks Band Of Brothers

Details are still a bit scarce, but apparently The Mittani, leader of the Goonfleet Intelligence Agency, managed to convince a very high-ranking director in Band of Brothers to turn traitor and join GoonSwarm. Which in itself is bad enough, but according to a Shacknews reports, he brought trillions of Band of Brother’s ISK, the in-game currency, with him.

Just noted in passing, really.

Because, the extent to which I understand not one fucking syllable of that paragraph makes me wonder whether: A) this is simply a prank post to evaluate whether people are fronting about insider video game knowledge; B) I am truly this astoundingly out of touch with regard to whatever the fuck this domain of information means to someone under 40; or C) I have suffered a hideous series of strokes that is hampering my ability to recognize what small collections of English-language words “mean.”

Bell BELL! Butterfly! BELL!!

Hey, wait. Can you guys even read what I’m typing right now? Maybe it’s worse. Holy fucking shit. Maybe I have fucking Wernicke’s aphasia. Jesus Christ!

Anyway. Better go. I have to go yell at some teenagers, then clean the cottage cheese off my Matlock slippers while listening to Glenn Miller.
