New Comic, just like riding a bike

Finally got back into doing comics after returning to playing EVE. It’s so great to be back into the general swing of things after two months. It’s been neat to come back to the player politics, especially with the “everyone pile on BoB” thing that’s been going on.

Been playing a ton of Crackdown on the Xbox 360 as well, which has proven to be a great way to pass a lot of free time. It’s incredibly light on the main “plot” missions, but more than makes up for it with the free sandbox gameplay. Finding new ways to jump around the city rooftops and such is more fun than most games of the genre.

Also had a chance to play the new GRAW2 demo, which is basically like saying I’ve been playing GRAW again but with prettier graphics. It’s the same game. Almost exactly the same, and I can’t see why this is being marketed as anything other than an expansion pack at best. The shadowing is very impressive, but only really showcases that the AI cheats more.

Other than gaming, today was an interesting milestone: I finally got a chance to take my car out for a spin, after two months of it sitting all nice and clean in my garage. I seriously missed it, and ended up missing out on some prime AWD conditions. 😦 But such is life, and there’s always next year.

Happy Birthday WDA!

A bit belated, but Warp Drive Active celebrated its 3rd birthday on the 11th of December! I started this thread on the EVE Online forums, and I’m flabbergasted at the number of people who’ve chimed in with awesome comments.

It’s been a heck of a ride so far, doing WDA for this long. I’d never thought I’d ever do something like this, and the fact that it’s been successful this long is equally mindblowing to me. Tons of thanks to all who support it.

Here’s to another three awesome years!!

New WDA, and Tournament’s End

The Third Alliance Tournament is over now, and Band of Brothers has once again won. 🙂 To commemorate this, there’s a new WDA, complete with a friendly jab of course.

The first weekend of the tournament was technically frustrating, since the streaming servers of the live EVE TV feed were acting up. But things were smooth as silk this weekend, at least for me. The people at EVE TV caught a lot of flack from the forum trolls, but every year things keep getting better and better overall. Better coverage, better commentary, better sets… and it’s all due to the people behind it like Xyliana, spiralJunkie, Xod, and the rest of the team.

Great job, folks.
