I wrote before about how the keymapping for screen grabs in EVE Online is locked but makes no sense for the Mac version. The only solution I found was a general hint simply referring to the in-built screen grab mechanism in OS X, which is to hit Cmd-Shift-3.
I already ...

Penny Ibramovic, space cadet, has been happy dealing with the two agents in Perimeter so far. Quite how I got to Perimeter in the first place is not remembered, and probably simply the result of ending up there after the tutorial agent got bored with me. Despite having ...

I resisted temptation no longer and subscribed to EVE Online over the weekend, after having enjoyed the two-week trial period. Even though I am already playing World of Warcraft and City of Villains I was drawn to being a space cadet and the skill-based system that EVE Online offers. ...

I got a bit caught up in EVE Online last night. Unfortunately, it wasn't because I was making such good progress. I got caught up because my ship kept on getting blown up.
I made contact with a couple of new agents after I had completed the Cash for ...

Taking advantage of the 14 day free trail of EVE Online, I downloaded the Mac-native client and logged in. I created my first character, picking my way through each step of the creation process as carefully as I could, having almost no knowledge of the game. I ended ...

I've mentioned a passing interest in trying the EVE Online MMORPG a few times, wanting to explore space and a sci-fi setting, but held back partly because of the PvP nature of the game and partly because of time constraints, what with playing World of Warcraft and City of Heroes/Villains. ...
