Wild Banshee Indians

Whenever my brother and I would run around like crazy people, our Mother would say, "You two are like a pack of wild banshee Indians." The Internets say, "A banshee Indian is an Indian mythical female spirit whose wailing or appearance warns a family that one of them will soon die. Before a death occurs, the Indian banshee will go wailing and clapping hands: if the death is of a holy person, a whole chorus of banshees will wail." Ok fine, I believe everything I read on the Internets. I don't think my Mom seriously thought my brother and I were harbingers of death, at least I hope not. I suspect what she was on about was the sounds we were probably making. When you are a kid these sounds are normal, but when you grow up and have children of your own - well then you know exactly what kind of Hell your own parents lived through. What does any of this have to do with Eve? The whole idea of "wild banshee indians", not the actual historical words,

Craziness

Buckle in for a crazy story of insanity today. So the other day I decided to hop into something different and go for a spin around the neighborhood. I choose a ship I hadn't flown solo in a long time, my trusty Jaguar. Flying an Assault Frigate around is one sure way to not only grab some attention, but also really limit the kinds of engagements you can expect. Not an ideal ship for solo roaming. Luckily for me, I don't care. I'm the Pirate Lord and I do what I want. My arrogance (which is all for fun and totally fake) doesn't change Eve's inclination to ignore my wants and desires however. So fights were hard to come by. In fact, I would only get one fight the entire session and that fight would be unusual. To say the least. I spotted an Algos alone in an advanced plex and decided to slide into it. Nothing unusual yet. He was sitting about 36k off the beacon so I burned into him, set up my position, and scrammed him. The second I activated my rockets - my compute

Board Game Updates

The video above shows off the new and original Skins designed for the Eve War For New Eden board game. If you backed the game on Kickstarter you will be getting the code for these inside the core box when the game ships. I'm sure these skins will become highly sought after over the coming years. There is also a new update over on the KS page you should check out. T'amber created the skins you see in the video above and I helped, I guess more accurately you can say I Art Directed. We worked together to figure out what the essential design elements would be and how best to convey the board game graphically. Primarily through the hexagons. The biggest challenge for me was to create something that identified the game on the skins. Without some kind of mark or logo, the skins would just be nice skins. The issue was that there is no logo for the board game, it is just the Eve logo with words under it. You might not realize this, but if you just put a typeface on the side of a ship

Old Man Star | A Documentary Short

The other day a bounty popped up over on JustAbout asking us to create a "Carl Sagan" style documentary set within the Eve Online universe. Carl Sagan is a huge figure in my life, I grew up watching his specials and was heavily influenced by his books and shows. Cosmos was a huge part of my developing nerd levels and nine years ago I even created another Eve video using a famous quote of his: Which, is all another way of saying please subscribe to my YouTube channel. I'm trying really hard to produce even more quality content for my subscribers and grow my channel. I'm only a few short watch hours away from pushing the channel into new heights - and I appreciate all of your support. I hope you enjoy the new video.

SALVAGE | A Horror Teaser

Yesterday morning I noticed a new bounty over on Just About that asked, "Create a cinematic montage of EVE clips!" and that sounded pretty boring. Unless. Why not create a series of clips that showcases the insane beauty of Eve Online but also creates an unsettling and potentially horrific counter-point instead? Sure, why not. So I did. In about four hours yesterday I crafted a teaser trailer for an imaginary film called SALVAGE. I have no idea what it is about, or what happens in it, or why it might or might not be scary. But I think the teaser is pretty goddamn awesome and that music - perfect. I could easily imagine a desperate crew getting involved with something they cannot comprehend out in the depths of lawless space, something evil, something behind imagination. For now, all I have is the teaser. Just in time for Halloween. Enjoy!
