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 [...]

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 [...]

Rabid Attack Rifters
Still training Minmatar Frigate V as of now, with about 6 days to go. Looking at my skill plan in EVEMon puts me at about 19 days to get most of the important gunnery skills up to 4, including T2 autocannons. Actually I could just go out right now and start blowing things up (most [...]

Ouch
News of the guy who lost 74 PLEX in a Kestrel in Jita has been making the rounds. Frankly I’m not altogether surprised, as I think many people expected something like this to occur ever since CCP allowed PLEX to be moved around. The exact means was a bit unexpected, but what I’m really surprised [...]

Market madness
As plenty of people have already observed, Jita 4-4 is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Yet it’s pretty amusing sometimes to see what goes on in the biggest trading hub in the EVE universe. You can see lots of things that really make me go like this… That is, if I were playing [...]

Stupid scammers (or scammees) in EVE
Spend any amount of time in Jita (as I do on my trading alt) and you can’t help but notice the massive amount of spam offers in the local channel. Every few seconds someone will link some contract for rare items, usually because you can’t sell them in the market. This goes for stuff like [...]

What’s wrong with a Mammoth/Chopper?
Gevlon has a post up which touches on the expensive vanity Tundra Mammoth and Mekgineer’s Chopper. The whole thing came up by lots of people asking why he refuses to help people who want to learn how to make more gold in order to buy these vanity items. “What’s wrong with buying these items if [...]

TLDR
Me and my wife are trying out another free-to-play MMO now. Since we were just starting out and pretty much clueless, she found a guide on the class I was playing and sent me the link. The guy who wrote the guide did a pretty good job. He split the guide into sections with bookmarks, [...]

Don’t tell me how to play my class…
“Level your own warrior/mage/death knight/paladin/warlock/druid/shaman/hunter first, then talk!” Such a common refrain from the legions of 300 dps hunters, 1000 dps mages, and paladins with spirit gems and enchants. I don’t quite get why this is so popular. Why should it matter who is giving you advice? Shouldn’t you be arguing based on the actual [...]

It’s only 200 gold
I was on my auction house mule a couple of days ago, checking my auctions and selling stuff in an effort to clear space from our overcrowded guild bank. Prices have climbed recently in the pre-patch rush from many investors stocking up on materials that are thought to sell well. Our experience has shown that [...]
