The dream is over. EVE Online's dev teams -- formerly known as Team Best Friends Forever and Team Pink Zombie Kittens -- are breaking up. Fortunately, this is because there are so many devs at this point that CCP is reorganizing its devs into three new teams: Team Super Friends, Game of Drones, and Five 0.
Along with the news of the team reorganization, CCP brings us word of an upcoming patch arriving January 24th. The update will include a rebalance of null ammo and assault ships, buffs to modules, better search options, new calendar notifications, and the ability for alliances to join faction warfare.
Even if you don't play EVE, these patch notes are both highly entertaining and informative, especially if you enjoy seeing devs unhinged and dispensing advice for mosquito repellant.

I almost recognize that person in the picture. I want to say who I think he is, but I fear I might be wrong.

One thing to note, team BFF and PZK were just two out of many many teams CCP had it's devs on. They were mentioned because CCP Soundwave who wrote the blog started on BFF, then moved to PZK (?or another one?)
Most excited about the default overload shortcut, lost more ships that i care to just because in the heat of the moment, clicking some tiny button at the right time, coupled with some mild lag, can be very difficult. Never could remember the current key bind for some reason...maybe i won't be horrible at EVE now *sigh*

Double post, just wanted to voice my approval regarding the picture used. Every EVE article on Massively about a devblog/thing that has CCP Soundwave in it should use this pic.
It's the lead game designer burning in the hell behind the old hangar door, how could one not approve.
