I’ve been learning how to use my Buzzard and exploration skills over the weekend, along with quite a bit of mining as well. At first I just didn’t “get it” when I was trying to probe and this video (without commentary, just captions) finally cleared things up for me! I was able to find ships quite easily, and drones and “hideouts.” But some other targets were extraordinarily difficult to get a fix on, and I would give up on them. I have pretty good skills: Level 5 Astrometrics, 4 pinpointing, and 4 … Continue reading

Yup, I’m back in the EVE universe again. What really hooked me back in was a little mining expedition. I was just going to go plow under a belt and see how things were going on my training etc. So after clearing the belt I headed back to the station to refine and sell the ore. BAM! I made over 30 million ISK! Which is about 3X what I used to get for the same ore just a few months ago . Anyways, I figured I’d better stay “in-game” for awhile, … Continue reading
Since the announcement that Electronic Arts is merging Mythic and BioWare, I can’t help but feel like a longtime friend (Mythic) has died a less than honorable death.

I’ve been a Mythic fan ever since joining Dark Age of Camelot back … Continue reading
I can’t believe 2009 is already half over, but such is the nature of time – it just keeps on going without consideration toward any thing. It’s been an extraordinarily busy year for me so far, and I keep hoping that things will slow down to a dull roar, but so far I think things are actually getting busier as the year progresses. Not a good thing for my mental nor physical well being, but in this kind of economic environment, I really have no room to complain. On with … Continue reading
Man I can’t believe how many public figures have been lost this week! It’s just weird. Ed McMahon, Farah, Micheal, and Billy Mays. OY! In other news, I’ve been palying around with my new camera and posting pics over in my facebook album. I’ve also been going through some of my more “historic” photos and creating albums for those. As for gaming, I’ve twiddled around in LOTRO and mainly been turned off by it, yet again. It still suffers from some design faults that are systemic to Turbine games – … Continue reading
