Life is a mean and ironic mistress. The days I want to sleep in, I cannot. The days I can sleep in, I wake up bright and early anyway. Lovely. Continue reading

Blog Banter 40: Blood Sports
There is no finer spectacle in the universe of EVE Online than the explosive dance of weapon-laden spaceships in combat. The yearly Alliance Tournament is the jewel in EVE Online’s eSports crown and the upcoming New Eden Open should deliver the same gladiatorial entertainment showcase.
Given the scope of the sandbox, what part should eSports play in EVE Online and what other formats could provide internet spaceship entertainment for spectators and participants alike?
Leave it to me to be late to the party. I do like to make an entrance after all. Continue reading
Huge Beast – Day 58

Random erections were never fun. Of course it was due to the testosterone stimulator I was taking. Don’t worry, it wasn’t synthetic, dangerous, unhealthy or illegal. No obvious side effects … well, there was the obvious one. The quite obvious one. Continue reading

It amazed me how anyone that does general physical labour could keep their shoulders over their head all day. I had been doing repair work on my Rifter for only a small while and already my shoulders were burning. Still, couldn’t let her see that.
I smiled down at Myxnee, who was laying on her back under the ship, working on a different set of repairs. Ever since we’d gotten married I’d come to appreciate the many aspects of her I hadn’t really had the chance to know before. Retiring from the pirate life had been the best thing for her, and for us.
She smiled back at me, deep and true love in her eyes. Continue reading
