Posted on June 12, 2012 by SynCaine

In training all week (SAP BO y u so gui?), so blog content might be slim. Sorry? As we continue to assimilate into our C5 alliance, I’m noticing the approach to ISK generation and how best to use WH content … Continue reading →

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 →

GW2: The game Mythic tried to make

Posted on April 30, 2012 by SynCaine
