GW2: Posting this from the overflow blogging server

Posted on August 27, 2012 by SynCaine

Having re-subbed to WoW this weekend… no wait. GW2! Best game ever! Yay! Wait wait… GW2, still worth the $60, I guess. Much better. Talking about the hours after a major launch is always subjective. My first hour with GW2 … Continue reading →

Vacation time

Posted on July 25, 2012 by SynCaine

I’m off on no-Internet vacation until August 6th, so this blog will be quiet until then. When I get back I’ll be sure to talk a little about SW:TOR shutting down (that’s still scheduled for next week, right?), as well … 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 →

Posted on June 18, 2012 by SynCaine

Not wanting to keep paying for fuel, I took down the last pieces of our C3 last weekend in an epic 5 hours marathon (and learned that the sun does come up before 5am EST here…). Some notes: I decided … Continue reading →
