Star Wars: The Old Republic. My LoTRO guild is debating whether to go with a Player vs Player (PvP) server or Player vs Environment (PvE) server. We are caught on…

It’s been a few days since our Proteus kill, and we’re done messing around in the home system for a little while — Planetary Interaction colonies have been set up by Bre and Berke, and in addition…
Life (in a Wormhole) Goes on… #eveonline →
So I’m still playing Eve.
I’m still enjoying playing Eve, more importantly.
But I think I’m going to slow down from posting daily reports for a little while. There are a couple reasons.

Those of you who don’t really play EVE and just read this stuff to see what I got blown up this week might want to either skip this post, or just read the bits that aren’t in text-blocks.
This post…
Life in a Wormhole: “The Drake is Always Bait”... →
It’s morning in the home system (at least for me — some folks are already into their evenings), and Bre and Em (from Walrus) are up to no good.
“Get in your bomber,” they jabber in unison.
“But I…
Life in a Wormhole: Really, Truly, Doing it Wrong... →
I’ve mentioned the alliance’s pending group operation a couple times, alluding to the fact that the corporation that they’ve targeted deserves to have their tower destroyed and their frozen corpses…
Life in a Wormhole: Treasure Mapping #eveonline →
The day dawns with me suspiciously free from other commitments, so I start off the morning with some scanning. It’s a good thing I get an early start, because our current constellation of systems is…
Life in a Wormhole: Overwatch #eveonline →
I log in to find Gor staring fixedly at a point in space. Not any random point in space, mind you, but a very specific one: the location of our current connection to another class 2 wormhole.
“It…
Life in a Wormhole: Working Out #eveonline →
“I think you guys are working out,” Cabbage takes the time to tell me in private. “You just fit right in here.”
That’s good news, and nice of him to say so. He’s in a far distant timezone (Our…

A new day dawns in Home System Mk 2, but rather than stay at home and shoot sleepers, I’d rather poke my nose (and guns) where they aren’t wanted; let’s save the local sleepers for later and see…

An Orca flying on autopilot is so slow that by the time Berke has gotten the Monolith back to our highsec staging system, Bre and Tira are already there and ready to act as escorts for the return…
Life in a Wormhole: “Last one out…” #eveonline →
It’s later on the same day as the short-lived stealth bomber vs. industrial hauler death match, and I’m ready to recover from previous losses. I check in and find Gor moving his massive freighter…
Life in a Wormhole: “Less than Useful” #eveonline →
I’m messing around with a couple armor-tanked builds for our PvP ships, due to some issues I have with shield-tanked PvP ships when living out of a tower. They work great when you have a…

“Regardless of whatever we decide to do with that wormhole alliance,” I say to Gor as he logs in, “we need to get away from the old alliance.”
“Agreed.” He doesn’t even ask for context regarding…
Life in a Wormhole: The Great Debate #eveonline →
The next couple of days feel like one very long debate about the merits of joining a new alliance. I’m sure it’s not the only thing we talked about it, but it’s the only thing in my notes and the…
