One of the things I’ve been keen to try out since resubscribing to EVE is Incursions. They were actually released just prior to when I last stopped playing, but at that time all I knew was that they required a fleet and since I wasn’t in a corp, that was pretty much un-doable. Well, I [...]

Oh noes war-decced
Found this rather amusing. I received this mail on my Jita trader character. Shiver me timbers! My wife was pretty surprised that people would think of something like this to make money in EVE. As always, never underestimate the creativity of people when it comes to ways of screwing other people over. They probably thought [...]

Mining can be a whale of a time
So I mentioned that I would say more about the Orca and why I love it so much. There are a lot of ships in EVE, but I would have to say that not all of them are game changers. What I mean by that is that they don’t really allow you to do anything [...]

Shiny Ship Review
So a lot has changed in EVE since I took a break. When I lasted posted, I was using a Rattlesnake with a dual-boxed Raven to do missions. The Rattlesnake was a really big step up from my Dominix, and had a really awesome passive tank. However, I was finding that the DPS of this [...]

Hello… anyone home?
Well. *blows off the dust* whooo wee it’s been a long while since I’ve been here. More than a year, in fact, judging from the date of my last post. So much has happened in the past year, I’m tempted to break it up into multiple posts rather than write some ginormous thing that will [...]

Lots to say but no motivation to say it
I’m still having fun in WoW. In fact that’s probably a big reason why I haven’t been posting much, when I have free time I mostly want to be playing instead of writing. My shaman has gotten to 85 and done quite a few heroics and is actually pretty well geared now for healing with [...]

New WoW gets thumbs up… for now
Well it’s been quite a long while since my last post. It’s been hard to find time to write something since I’ve been busy at work on a bunch of stuff. And at night, if I’m not taking care of our son (who has been sick for quite a while, the poor bear) I’m busy [...]

New year, new(ish) start
Well that was an extended holiday. After spending a week at my in-laws place, I then managed to skip work and stay at home for the next two weeks due to Christmas and end of year holidays. So what was I doing? Yeah I’ve been bitten by the WoW bug again and resubscribed for Cataclysm, [...]

Shooting myself in the foot
Doh. Sometimes you do things that really make you wonder if you forgot to turn on the brain in the morning. Well at least I hope it’s not just me. I just got podded for the first time since playing EVE. Lost a full set of +4 implants, plus another set of missile skill hardwiring [...]

Finally over with
And finally my Ph.D applications are over with. My god, such a completely soul-draining experience. Applied to 7 schools this round, which will be my last. If I am unable to get into a decent program with financial aid, then I’ll have to start looking for a job again. In a sense it’s actually quite [...]
