Having quit my corporation in EVE Online I leave myself in Minmatar space with several PvP-fitted ships, a mission-running Drake battlecruiser and a salvaging Cormorant, and plenty of recovered modules. My next step is uncertain, so I ponder my options.
I have thought about broadening my skills, teaching myself more ...

The corporation I joined in EVE Online has moved to null-sec space, after being accepted in to a suitable alliance. This presents me with logistical as well as technical challenges.
Despite having joined several operations in to low-sec space with the corporation, and gaining a fair amount of experience in ...

If only a melted video card were an EVE Online salvaged component, I would be happy to find one and sell it on the market for half-a-million ISK. Sadly, the melted video card is sitting in my computer.
I experienced a game freeze in World of Warcraft when running Gnomesblight ...

One good reason to join a corporation in EVE Online is that you can then take part in fleet operations and say things like 'roger that'.
I must try working an 'aye cap'n' or two in to the mix.

Maybe it was the World of Warcraft Halloween and Scourge invasion events combined, the sudden rush of my small guild trying to reach 70th level before the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is released, the return of Melmoth to Azeroth EU, or simply a bit of ennui, but I ...

My current agent in EVE Online starts a conversation by saying I won't believe what she's about to tell me. There are furries in an adjacent system. It is good to know that the Minmatar Republic has furries, just as the Caldari State does. I am about ...
