Well, hmmm.

I’ve tried several characters in  Champions Online, and none seem to be able to hold their own after level 11-13 or so.  So I’ll probably be spending most of my weekend back in EVE since I can pretty much do whatever I want in that game on my own without needing others to progress.  At least in CoX I got near level 20 or so before it was impossible to solo.  Apparently folks were able to solo until the massive patch the other day, so much for that.  Unless I … Continue reading

August Roll Up

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

Mining Bliss

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.  A couple more serious mining sessions, and I should have my $450M investment returned, and then some.  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

Orca Goodness

I finally got my Orca last night. So dunno what else I’ll be blogging about now 😛 It was getting pretty late by the time I got my last load of ore in, refined, and sold in order to have enough ISK to go buy the new boat.  But I did go buy it and moved it back to my “homebase,” fitted it out and took her out for a quick test in one of the local belts. It’s quite nice, but I still have a few things to learn about the … Continue reading

Close to the Orca

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
