[EVE Online] Three years and still going strong, in fact getting stronger. Happy Birthday to EVE Online.
My first character has left Ars Caelestis and joined Ashpool Industries. I found a better fit for him as he is heavy into the production side of things. He can know be found supervising multiple factories and collecting fat paychecks.
My second character (who is now my main character) is training up only combat-related skills and has joined Ars Caelestis to replace my first character. He has a lot to learn and is hoping to get some combat action soon. Sadly, he missed out on the BoB assault, but he should be ready for the next round of whatever-may-come.
P.S. Check out the “No Other Destiny” video here. Sweet.

See that banner up top? I’m looking for some more banners to add to the rotation. Here is where you come in, send me some. They should be in JPG format and 720×180 in size. They must be from an MMO. Try to have the middle of the image clean (no text or characters) to leave room for our site title and if you want to include a little blurb in a corner mentioning you, your character or your site, like “Banner courtesy of: X” that is fine too as long as it’s not too big. Do not put our site title on the image, I’ll handle that part. Reload the site a few times if you want to get some layout ideas.
Send them to my email address, which is also linked on the right side of this page. Let’s see what you’ve got.
If you don’t have the tools to make the banner, just send me the screenshot and I’ll tweak it myself.

[World of Warcraft] My wife told me a few weeks ago, “I’d like to try that game of yours.” To which I had to ask “What game?” Turns out it was World of Warcraft. Ugh. I really didn’t want to give them any more money, but the chance to introduce my wife to an MMORPG was just too great to pass up.
I intended on just letting her play without my interference. I tried, but it was pretty hard to stay out of it. She ended up creating a Human Warlock female. She wanted Horde, but I talked her out of it, if only because I have been playing Horde characters forever.

[EVE Online] Finally got back out and shot down some rats. Damn that feels good. It’s like I haven’t played EVE for the last month, which is probably pretty accurate. Nothing gets the blood flowing like a good old fashioned explosion.
Anyway, I started playing around with Flickr some to hold some of my screenshots, we’ll see how it goes.

[EVE Online] I’ve been playing EVE Online now since May 2005. In the last month, I think I might have left the station once. Ever since I purchased my second account during the special promotion CCP ran, all I have been doing is logging in to train.
The end result of this is I’m starting to forget how to actually play this game. I’m feeling like a noob again. Only this time since I’m not a noob I feel too stupid to ask questions because I should already know this stuff. Really, I just need to get back out and blow something up.

[EVE Online] In a stunning move, CCP has added a wonderful new piece of technology to their forums. Utilizing some sort of thingamajig called “google”, they have given us all the ability to do something we have long thought impossible.
We can now search the forums! Cheers to CCP for this brilliant (and dare I say bold) move to keep all the other MMO companies on their toes trying to catch up.
This news was brought to my attention over at CrazyKinux. Thanks man!

I thought I had finally fixed my video corruption/crash problem with a new power supply, but my video went out again tonight. I am so sick of this. Can’t play anything for more than 30 minutes. I really don’t want to spend any more money, but this is getting old. Stupid computers.
Right now I just want to quit gaming forever. Bah…

[EVE Online] While I have been suffering through computer downtime, some suprisingly big news has recently bubbled up via the various EVE channels. SirMolle of the Band of Brothers Alliance made this announcement recently:
Today BOB revokes all standings with all other corporations or alliances. Things have settled into a state of stagnation. These systems so far from the core should not be so peaceful. It is an aberration, an imbalance, something that has to change. We remember old acquaintances, the good and the bad. However, just as true warriors will joyfully spill each others’ blood, we will not hesitate to fight old friends. This is a good change.
To the world of EVE we give the gift of conflict. Let our eyes light up to welcome it.
The regions of Fountain, Delve, Period Basis, will no longer allow travel through or visits. Active as of friday downtime, you are set back to 0.0. This will not change anytime soon.
Rejoice.

There comes a time when a game that was pretty fun, but not worth a monthly fee, loses it’s monthly fee. Even if it is limited somewhat in that you cannot advance fully to the highest skills. This is one of those times. It is free for the next 12 months. The sooner you start, the more of those 12 months you get to play.
Go get your free PlanetSide on. I know I will.

[Asheron’s Call 2] I used to play AC2. In fact, I won a free account for life. Life of the game I suppose it was in all actuality. I was also in the Vanguard program. That was a special group of players that had access to the test server and could try new features and give feedback. In fact, there was even a mob put in the game with my name on it – thanks to a quest that a group of us designed and had implemented.
Well, they sent out t-shirts to the Vanguard members at one point and while doing a clean up at home I found it. I snapped some pictures for posterity. Front – Back – Back up close.
This reminded me of the one other game that gave me a free t-shirt, during the beta of Earth & Beyond. Hmm, two free t-shirts and two dead MMOs. Note to devs: don’t send me a t-shirt if you want your MMO to survive. Now, lets see if I can dig up that E&B t-shirt so I can take some pics.
