I pop out of w-space to keep my industrial operations running. My module sales keep ticking over nicely, and I need to keep an eye on market stock levels, but I am mostly concerned with researching the material costs of the new rig blueprints, so that I can liquidate ...

My old canvas motorbike cover had seen better days when it disappeared. I can only assume that the cover blew off the bike in the wind and someone threw it away, mistaking the dirty and ripped cover for a discarded rag, and I can't blame them for that. ...

Drumming through the Ozzfest gig in Guitar Hero: World Tour is fun and challenging. As I am able to post some good scores and feel comfortable through most of the long set I push on to the next couple of gigs as well. There are a couple of ...

The flaw in my plan becomes obvious as soon as I return to w-space, and when everyone kindly tells me the plan is flawed. Having two Drakes many systems apart, fitted and ready to scramble, only helps return trips to w-space when the static wormhole1 opens to a system ...

There is not much I can add to my previous reviews of Emiliana Torrini gigs. Her voice is still wondrous and the songs beautiful, capturing times and emotions with vivid imagery reflected in the lyrics and music that alternates between optimism and confusion. But this time we find ...

In-between inventing and building the Crane I install some more starship invention jobs. To reduce the datacore attrition I plan to invent Manticore stealth bombers from Kestrel BPCs, which requires only two of each datacore per job instead of the eight of each the Badgers consume. I'm happily ...

My leg stops working, which is a little unsettling. It's not like I can no longer do the Hustle, which would be a disaster, but I find I have a lot of trouble with the kick pedal when drumming in Guitar Hero, specifically trying to hit double-beats. Single ...
