EVE Online recently ran into some technical difficulties the other day because of a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS), and the servers were offline for several hours. Of course players didn’t like not having access to the game, so as way of saying “sorry for the downtime,” CCP is issuing all active players 50,000 skill points to use as they see fit.

Remember Me has had an odd build up. It’s been promoted decently, talked about a lot, but a highly vocal contingent of gamers had been lukewarm on it since it was first announced, and there was a pervasive cynicism regarding its eventual worth.

China’s been hacking up a storm recently, up to and including stealing sensitive confidential weapon designs from the US. Things started coming to something of a head early last month, when the Pentagon finally directly accused China of being the perpetrator of all this cyber-tretchery. Now, according to the New York Times, a nice little hacking-chat has been scheduled between the two powers.
