Short post day: sorry/you’re welcome? MiltDavies is my new favorite commentator at Massively. Pure gold every time the guy types. If he had a blog I’d read it daily. Also how has TESO not been cancelled yet? Fans bashing you … Continue reading →

EVE: C5 ISK

Posted on June 22, 2012 by SynCaine

As previously mentioned, one of the major factors in moving INQ-E into a C5 and joining HAHA was ISK, and more specifically just how much more ISK you can make running C5 sleeper sites than you can in a C3. … Continue reading →

Bucket of rage

Posted on June 20, 2012 by SynCaine

Random ranting incoming: One ‘awesome’ feature does not an MMO make. “TESO is a copy/paste puddle of fail, but feature X looks interesting”. A cute gimmick feature can make an iPhone game worth the buck and download. It won’t get people … Continue reading →

EVE: Sleeper Jam

Posted on June 12, 2012 by SynCaine

EVE: Killer clowns

Posted on June 8, 2012 by SynCaine

With my EVE in-game time somewhat limited due to RL issues, last night was my first real experience with our new alliance, Surely Your Joking (ticker: HAHA). A workable chain of wormhole connections was available, and a good number of … Continue reading →

Out of the kiddy pool

Posted on June 4, 2012 by SynCaine

This weekend I made the decision to have INQ-E join a wormhole alliance and move into their C5. It was not an easy decision, but one that I ultimately think will benefit us in many ways. First some back story, … Continue reading →

Opinions

Posted on May 31, 2012 by SynCaine

My favorite genre is coming back!

Posted on May 30, 2012 by SynCaine

MMOs are a niche genre in gaming. They are games that require additional ‘work’ beyond just loading something up, and to really get the most out of them you have to put in that ‘work’ consistently. They can also be … Continue reading →
