2006 Tournament Ends

Well the 2006 Alliance Tournaments in EVE have finished. In honor of this, I’ve commemorated the occasion as I did last year, with a new comic.

It was an interesting tournament overall, but the semi- and quarter- finals were really a sight to behold. There were some awesome fights, and some great upsets. The finale was a bit underwhelming, shall we say, but it was still great to be able to watch the entire tournament over EVE TV, and to attend the finals in person as a rep for WDA. 🙂

Maybe the lackluster ending to the tournament will make CCP take notice, and either rework the organization and rules of the tournament next year. Alternately, they could simply come up with some kind of more compelling event for everyone to take part in.

EVE TV and the Alliance Tournament

There’s a rather large tournament happening in TV at the moment, and CCP have taken the interesting steps of getting EVE Radio to come and broadcast it all live via streaming video. Very cool, and it runs for about six days through July as the tournament progresses.

About a week ago I was asked by the kind folks there to work up some kind of monologue about Warp Drive Active that could be put to video, and it seems that was broadcast today during one of their segments between matches.

Check out the schedule for the tournament here, and access the live stream here.

Interview in EVE Tribune

This weekend I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Laocoon of EVE Tribune, a news site for the EVE community. The interview appears in their Issue #5.

I can never get over when this kind of thing happens. If someone had told me years ago I’d be doing an online comic and getting interviewed by websites I’d have laughed at them. This reminds me of the time when Urban Mongral of EVE Radio interviewed me for his radio show Desert Asteroid Disks. That was definitely interesting as well, as I got to choose a bunch of songs to subject listeners to across the entire hour of the broadcast. If i can find the MP3 of that I’ll put it online.
