So far I've loved every minute of it, but it's time to step away and give you an update on the battle of the geeks.

Last month I was presented with a prestigious award for dedication to the art of geekery because my boss learnt about how I'd just spent my weekend. A weekend chock-full of awesome things such as a two-night LAN party, floppy drive music and a trip to the Adelaide Showgrounds for Oz Comic Con.

EVE Online: A Game of Drones - Prologue
Date: Wednesday 9 May 2012 | Author: blaknite | Comments: 9
I've recently strayed away from the EVE universe, not because of any of CCP's wrongdoing but because I've become bored of who I am, for I am a care-bear.
