Penny Ibramovic checked out of space station Haatamo to jump to strange new systems, to seek out new agents and new clusters of rats to kill, to boldly go where everyone else has been some years before me. My choice of agents offering me level two missions first took ...

Penny Abramovic's Salvaging Enterprise is continuing quite nicely. The recent recovery of two alloyed tritanium bars and three melted capacitor consoles amongst all the wrecks, which just happened to be floating in space near my Caracal with the smoking launchers, made over two million ISK alone, and that was ...

After the amazing Kung Fu Panda I had high hopes when seeing the more highly rated Wall-E, Pixar's latest animated feature film.
