I am, for now, without any Windows based computers at home. This is due to a failing hard disk on my iMac and my utter laziness in buying something new and cheap from Dell (have you seen the spec of their cheap machines?) and not any real [Windows sucks/computers are too powerful/games rot the mind/have I missed any other common complaint] reason. A while back I tried getting LOTRO to run on the Mac, but decided it was easier to just reboot into windows. Now I can't do that I installed Crossover Games and decided to start small with Guildwars...

I haven't mentioned this weeks podcast here, but I doubt anybody only finds it from this blog. Anyway, podcast 11 (live from a time before good recording equipment) is up over at Virginworlds.

Is it just me, or does everybody get this result? Industrialist with teeth Take The EvE Personality Test today! Created with Rum and Monkey's Personality Test Generator. You enjoy Eve's economic model and you find that the greatest challenge of the game lies in mastering the market. System security status is a matter of profit/no profit for you, and you always factor in the possibility/probability of PvP in your estimates. To you, Eve isn't a PvP or a PvE game.

Nat over at buttonmashing.com is asking an interesting question: Do you finish the games that you buy? I had to answer no, but the question is more complicated than that. I should start off by saying I play a lot of games. I probably on average buy one a fortnight, and since I have an interest in the mechanics of the games I tend to play a lot of games that do interesting things but people may consider to be bad games according to the reviews. Apparently either I have low standards or reviews are rubbish because I don't think...

So the last war ended without a shot being fired. Or us seeing the enemy. To be honest that's more disruptive than real war as it scares the hell out of the newbies. Lucky for us we have a new war! This is another small corp, but with double the members this time. So that means there are two of them! I suspect it's the same typical thing. Hotshot PvP pilot declares war against 100 man industrial corp who he thinks will be easy pickings, but since he's hanging around our highsec base I suspect he's not that keen to come find...

Show 10 of the podcast is now live and contains rambling and stuff. I didn't mean you when I was moaning about people on the internet by the way, just everybody else.
