As expected, I’ve been spending most of my game-time this week in Champions Online. I’ve noticed a few changes since the “preview/open beta,” basically for the better. It seems that MOBs are much easier to kill for the first 10 levels than the were just a couple of weeks ago, or maybe I’m just better prepared for them, or my current build is just way more leet than the ones I tried out back then. But for the most part, the first 10 levels just scream by, and they’re a … Continue reading

I can’t believe it’s basically Fall already, but that’s how it goes! Most of my gaming time in August was spent in EVE Online with very brief excursions into Warhammer and the Champions Online preview/”open beta.” September will most likely find me in EVE again as my major gaming outlet, with more substantial ventures into Champions Online (going Live Sept. 1) and Battle Forge (Renegade Expansion going live on Sept. 1 as well). I may sneak into WAR as well, but probably only for very short peeks here and there. As for … Continue reading
Well, it’s not quite bliss, but dang close now that I’m getting the hang of the Orca. After spending my life savings in ISK to get the ship Thursday night, I’ve already earned back over 200M ISK, without really trying.

And, if I remember right, I should have my second mining pilot (third account) in his Hulk sometime over the long weekend. So that should render yet another significant boost to my mining capabilities. Some … Continue reading
I’ll definitely be able to snag me one of these bad-boys by the weekend and then I’ll be able to put it through its paces. I missed an awesome buy the other day though, I saw one for sale for less than $400M – I think it was around $390M or so, but of course it sold by the time I got that much ISK rounded up. Tuesday I was able to work my way up to that figure, and I’ve found a few awesome belts this evening, so I … Continue reading
The weekend is almost over and I did get most of my “goals” met. Of course I set the bar pretty low… Get in some gaming, do a few chores, and get out the apt. at least once. And I met all of those! WOOT! As for gaming, I spent most of my time mining in EVE trying to get enough ISK together to buy my Orca. I still haven’t got it all together yet, but I went from a measly 150M to just over 300M, so I almost doubled … Continue reading
