Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

Averages are a bad way to look at age of car parks. A lot of people crash their cars in the first few years of ownership. Reasons are multiple, included but not limited to not knowing their car well, "trying out what it can do", first time young and inexperienced buyes, etc... For each 1 year old car that gets crashed (and thus scrapped), you will need a 25 year old car that gets scrapped. Or more realistically six 15 year old cars.... In this case the median age of a scrapped car would be much more interesting.

Also, "scrapped" is a bit of a misnomer. You read part about the cars I told you went to Africa? Those are scrapped cars. In the eyes of the Western World, they enter the stats as scrapped. Of course, in reality, that's not what happens to them in Africa.

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
