Hmmn….this is tempting. If I re-sub to Age of Conan, there is a promotion running that offers: 3-month sub: Beta access to The Secret World 6-month sub: Beta access + in-game helmet that boosts experience gain by 10% 12-month sub: Beta access + helmet + a free copy of Conan expansion Rise of the Godslayer …
While I was catching up on blogs that I read in those last burned-out fifteen minutes of a long day, I read a very nice interview with Mynxee of Life in Low Sec: GamePlay and Women in EVE. There is a lot of talk today that the gaming industry need more women. What improvements are …
This may be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in ages, or maybe ever. CCP (EVE Online) staff rap video. How good is that? Sveinn Kjarval, EVE’s lead game master, EVE’s marketing director, and more. NSFW due to normal rap lyrics.
One of the coolest people I have had a chance to meet online is Mynxee of the totally hot all-female pirate corp in EVE, Hellcats. Via Massively, a podcast where she discusses piracy and pvp. Give it a listen, it’s a really entertaining podcast, and Mynxee will offer a perspective on the game that might …

On the way back from Jita, I got my ship blown up (again) by someone with a swarm of drones. Meh. I’m always very careful to warp to within zero metres of the gate, ready to jump immediately, etc., but sometimes it just doesn’t help. And that was the extent of my exciting game adventures. …
I was bored this afternoon, so I went sightseeing in Jita, because I’d never been there. All 20 jumps. :) I couldn’t handle flying all the way back, so my ship is still there. Had I tried, they would have found my dark, cold ship floating endlessly in space, her pilot having slit her throat. …
I went to Jita, and all I got was this silly shirt… Read More »
Ta-daaaaaaah! I’m back in the world of the living, after a week of getting re-used to long commutes, a 9-5 job, and being absolutely shattered. Back to normal, hurrah! Now that I am not gaming during the day, I am looking at how to manage involvement in two simultaneous MMOs (with occasional forays into things …
