One person I met at Eve FanFest really stuck in my mind. He was unhappy and angry, and this went against everything else I'd seen there - everyone else I'd seen there. I asked him why and then I understood: unlike nearly everyone else, he was there for Dust 514, not Eve Online. He'd sat through a Dust 514 keynote earlier that day expecting - understandably - to hear about the future of the free-to-play online PS3 game. "I'm here today to talk about Dust 514," executive producer Jean-Charles Gaudechon announced when he walked on stage. Except he didn't - beyond briefly recapping on the year Dust 514 had been out. Instead he delivered a vision for something new and improved: a free-to-play online PC game, Project Legion.

In the strip club, to 'make it rain' is the ultimate act of macho showmanship: a man flicks notes of paper money in quick succession from the top of a wad. He usually aims the money towards a woman, who dances for him while the cash flutters to the floor like so much confetti. In this context - where money, rather than natural attraction talks - 'making it rain' is a show of male braggadocio. The flick of the wrist is masturbatory (and the words carry a plain sexual association, the image of perpetual gobbing orgasm). But more than sex, this is about power and the sexualisation of affluence. Through this act the man says two things: that he has so much money that he can discard it without thought and that, with this money, he can buy the person at whom it's directed.
