Roctober Fitness Challenge – Day 2

Something I should’ve mentioned yesterday, but didn’t, is that I know we’re all at different levels of physical fitness. This program is designed as a thirty day introduction for those that want to get in shape, but maybe aren’t sure how to start, or want a little kick start as their current routine may have reached a plateau.

YC 113: Production Diary

You may not know this about me, but I never intended to make music. If you’ve listened to my Voices from the Void interview, you will know that EVE wasn’t my first musical endeavour, but that is was my first concentrated endeavour.

And boy, did it take a lot of concentration to get this far. Of course, the fan support hasn’t hurt either, so thanks in advance for that.

Poison to the Soul

Not every day is an easy day. Not every day brings glory, profit and sense of achievement.

Sometimes, life sucks ass.

As an immortal, this can be especially trying, knowing that regardless of how crappy your current situation feels, it could last for lifetimes unless something breaks.

Sometimes it’s our own heart that breaks, or our health, or our finances. Sometimes it’s a combination of these things and more. We get stuck in our heads, stuck in that spot, and no matter how supportive our network of family, friends, and colleagues can be, at the end of the day, nothing can break the cycle except us.

Fanfest 2012: Roc Roundtable

One of my followers mentioned on Twitter recently that “CCP should have a Roc panel at the next Fanfest!”. Now of course I agree, how could I not, yet at the same time, after giving it some real thought, I realize that while the ladies would love an hour with me, and that would be educational for the men, an entire hour devoted to myself just wouldn’t be fair to others; there’s only so much Roc that can be handled at once after all.

It did get me to thinking though. Continue reading

Alex Polokov – Day 0

It looks like 113 YC is proving to be a very good year for many people.

One of my corp mates, Alex Polokov, has decided he wants to man up and be publicly accountable. Alex is a great guy, and I look forward to personally working with him at this. He has a bit of advantage in that he knows me directly, so hopefully we’ll have some great progress pictures to show in three months! Continue reading

Blog Banter – Truth for the Masses

In recent months, the relationship between CCP and it’s customers has been the subject of some controversy. The player-elected Council of Stellar Management has played a key role in these events, but not for the first time they are finding CCP difficult to deal with. What effect will CCP’s recent strategies have on the future of EVE Online and it’s player-base? What part can and should the CSM play in shaping that future? How best can EVE Online’s continued health and growth be assured?

Relationships, politics, religion, assured futures. What do they have in common? Uncertainty.

It has always been our nature as a species; concurrent progression and regression. Continue reading
