Stabbers
One of my favourite ships to fly, the Stabber. A fleet of Stabbers can be devastating. Never underestimate Minmatar engineering.
Granted, we’re not building spaceships today, and these Stabbers are nowhere near as good for your health, but sometimes it’s good just to have a little fun, and these Stabbers deliver, with pictures!
Fandom Fail
Still sure you want to be Roc? The Fandom contest is over. Time for an ego check. It went poorly for many reasons I’ll explain and own up to now. Integrity isn’t just about claiming your victories, but also acknowledging your failures.
Before I get into it I do want to thank everyone that did help me get this contest rolling, did show an interest, did enter or help promote it. Thank you for always believing. I do my best to serve our community and I am appreciative that you see that and continue to support my efforts.
You are what keeps me going when I stumble.
Pop Roc
Colonel Wieler,
I’m a huge fan of your music, especially the production quality and layers in your soundtracks. One Night of Roc was alright but I found the fake guitars a little fake (not that I could do better). I’ve recently wondered if you’ve ever tried other genres like dubstep, minimal tech/house, country, rap, or pop music? Soundtracks are great but it would be nice to hear what else you can do.

Firstly, I see what you did there with your signature. Continue reading
BB 45: Propaganda
This edition of the Blog Banter is forged from suggestions from #tweetfleet members @KaedaMaxwell, @RocWieler and @TigerlilyFenix.
In a socially-driven game environment such as EVE Online’s, everyone has an agenda. CCP promotes its products and has an army of volunteers to do the same; corporations and alliances deliver entertaining recruitment drives, CSM election candidates solicit for voter favour, bloggers and podcasters opine to their audiences.
In this intricate web of communication, influence and control; what part does propaganda play in your game?
Banter on. Continue reading
Fooling our Brains
I read your story on the internet, and then started following your blog during your body beast routine. I find you to be an inspiration. I do not game, nor do I really know what eve online is. I am thankful to have found your blog. I am trying to start a program. About a year ago I started P90X, and lasted for 34 days. Some background on me. I have four kids, work full time and I am a full time student. I am married. We also have two dogs and three cats. Busy is an understatement. I recently purchased Tony Horton’s 10 minute trainer in the hopes of starting this program. I need to do something, as I have gained 50 lbs and currently am not happy with that. I have started eating properly this week and plan on continuing that. I was really just hoping for you to give me tips on how to start something when I feel like I barely have time to catch my breath. Thank you for sharing your story.

Darlin, thank you for stepping up and sharing your story. It’s not always easy to ask for help, or to make one’s self accountable; putting ourselves out there can be very scary. Continue reading
OOC: When the Mighty Fall
“How are you?” they ask, in typical small talk fashion.
“I am mighty.” I reply, or with something equally unusual to hopefully stir thought.
I’ve been working hard these last few years to get my life in good health – mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, financially. They are all related. It’s iceberg theory. Continue reading
Getting Started
Going to try something new every Monday here at Roc’s Ramblings, and yes, I’m aware it’s Tuesday. Had a rough day. I’m going to use the name Fit Fleet. It’s not mine but it fits. Every Monday we’ll discuss some aspect of nutrition, exercise, motivation, whatever you want. You can either hit me up in the comments here with ideas or questions, or @rocwieler on Twitter, or roc@rocwieler.com. Continue reading
Lentil Loaf
Meat is good. Never doubt that. Something I learned being raised amongst the Amarr aristocracy, however, was how very easy it could be to give into excess and gluttony. So many overweight, out of shape, vain, fat Amarr. I sometimes wonder how they ever managed to enslave us in the first place. Anywho …
Live a balanced life, even if it’s an immortal one. Continue reading
Campaign Trail: Vote
I want you to vote for me. I honestly believe it’s a vote well spent. It’s important. What’s more important is that you vote at all. That matters most. Continue reading
