Turning into my dad

CCP had this demo of their MMO Eve Online at Pycon. I saw it, and my first thought was, "This is way too complicated."

I remember when my father started saying that about my video games.

Kind of a bitter moment for me: I've aged out of the target market for games.

You know though, they probably don't start you out with that all that garbage right off the bat. The first time I saw a fully leveled WoW interface I was all GOOD LORD NO. But then I tried it and you start out with only a couple buttons and learn your way up. Where the best place for stuff is, which skills you actually use, etc. Perhaps it is the same here. Just jumping straight in is always intimidating. There is hope!

Thanks, that is a kind thought. :)
