After the heady joys of the British Summer, its back to a more normal kind of show, with the usual sniping, barracking and ill-informed opinion, and general rambling about, like, games and stuff. Its all a bit strange really, but what with Real Life, Work and Actually Playing some of these games, I'm increasingly finding that it has become easier to bang out a podcast, than write a blog post lately. The podcast stuff all takes place at weekends, for a start, whereas the blogging is generally a get-in-from-work-exhausted activity.
I also end up doing all the 'Hey! A Thing happened on the internet! <link!>' type stuff in the show instead, which kind of shoots most of the snappier news type stuffs in the foot before I even start, and I guess my TL:DR style of digital diarhea doesn't help much either. Heigh ho!
Anyway, here is some more talking:
The Van Hemlock Prize Giveaway! (ep14): In which our brave hosts skulk about Jita, going through people's racks and cargoholds, like dirty Peeping Toms. Also, a Competition is Announced, News is Customarily Heckled, and a What We're Playing Bit is attempted while trying not to crash into stargates, or accidentally getting Concordokken!
Regarding the competition; entries should be mailed to me by the end of August, and you can use the Contact tab up there and to the right. Simply guess the population of Jita on our screengrab, and you could win one of these, a nifty 1GB USB Flash Drive with 'EVE' written on one side, courtesy of Urban Mongral of Warp Drive Active fame, and Valerie "Pann" Massey, CCP's Director of Public Relations.
(You don't have to play EVE to enter, but your guess is likely to be more accurate if you have a passing familiarity with the Jita star system!)
