EVE: Getting knocked into the whelp eggs all over again

Posted on April 11, 2012 by SynCaine

Playing multiple pilots in a wormhole is not smart. I won’t be making that mistake again, but it’s too bad it took losing about 500m ISK to learn the lesson. I was mining a grav site on one account in … Continue reading →

EVE: First weekend in our wormhole

Posted on April 9, 2012 by SynCaine

Rumors of WH life being slow and boring are greatly exaggerated, at least based on our first weekend. Holy crap did a lot happen. After the previously reported POS setup failure, the EVE gods smiled on us and opened up … Continue reading →

EVE: Jita Phoenix

Posted on April 4, 2012 by SynCaine

I believe this might be a first, but I fully disagree with Jester on what impact the Goons “Jita Burns” event might have, and what CCP’s reaction will be. Simply put, Jita Burns might be the single most entertaining day … Continue reading →

EVE: A post about EVE that talks about in-game activity

Posted on April 3, 2012 by SynCaine

Corp Update: Growth has continued, and daily activity is up. Our regular Ops have been changing up a bit, as we are able to field an Incursion-capable fleet now and opted for that over mining on Sunday. Our mining efficiency … Continue reading →

GW2: Same old siege

Posted on April 2, 2012 by SynCaine

Quick thought on this post from Werit about a GW2 siege video, and the comment from Snafzg that sieging in DAOC, WAR, and (potentially) GW2) suck: sieges in Darkfall don’t suck. They don’t display the same “bang a door” pattern, … Continue reading →

Swimming in tears

Posted on March 30, 2012 by SynCaine

First, I must say the blogosphere is living up to Friday Blog wars (lazy linking since I don’t want to update this as more pop up). It took a bit of time, but finally people have caught on and are … Continue reading →

EVE: Shiny Cyberbullies

Posted on March 29, 2012 by SynCaine

This post is not about offing yourself, I swear. It is about bullies, but fear not, it’s actually about EVE and real gameplay. As I mentioned in a post pre-KillYourselfGate, INQ-E has started running Incursions as a Corp. Our first … Continue reading →

#EVE #Cyber bullying #Cry for help #The Mittani #kool-aid

Posted on March 28, 2012 by SynCaine

So this is what happens when you mix one ‘trendy’ topic (bullying) with another hot-button issue (EVE) huh? Hilarity ensues and the Internet lawyers and psychologist come out of the woodworks. Moar tears cannot even begin to describe what I’m … Continue reading →

All cyber-bullies should die

Posted on March 26, 2012 by SynCaine

Is it just me or is Massively home to the softest people on the Internet? Case in point: Goon being a goon, Massively white knights come out in full force. I think my favorite is the “There we have another … Continue reading →

EVE: INQ-E March update

Posted on March 16, 2012 by SynCaine

One of the interesting things about running a fairly noob-filled EVE Corp is you get a lot of first-hand experience with the learning curve and progression path. As our new guys are learning the different aspects of the game, they … Continue reading →
