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, ...

Zombies of Yulai | Documentary Short

Today I'm releasing the second in a new series of Documentary Short Films entitled Zombies of Yulai . The first was the story about Old Man Star and this one covers a significant event that happened twenty years ago in the system of Yulai. This event changed the way Concord worked and significantly impacted the history of Eve Online. I made the decision to stick to in-game lore in these videos and preserve the rich tapestry of our history, but I should mention that a significant part of this story is about early Dev involvement. Those "drastic measures" that Concord took meant that the Devs actually had to step in and shut down the camping. Concord was unable to do anything about it. Which meant CCP had to up Concord's game and give them god-weapons. In a lore sense it was the Jovians, but it is important to know that wasn't the actual case. If you are interested, I recommend reading this account of the incident: https://aurora-arcology.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-...

Stay Frosty Music Video

Over the weekend someone sent me a song they had created in a DM on Discord. I was getting ready to take a fleet out on a roam and didn't have much time, but I listened and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was really good. I will mention right up front that the person who sent me this song wishes to remain anonymous, so in the video I called them DJ-JBO. But wow. Someone spent some time writing some solid lyrics and putting a jam together. Even considering the involvement of AI, this tune rocked pretty hard. So I knew immediately that I needed to create a music video for it. I'll be honest up front here - I think this is one of the best Eve songs I've ever heard. Right up there with the classics. And I should know something about that, having created the music video for "Dumb Ways to Die" which is (in my humble opinion) the greatest. But obviously music, much like art, has a lot to do with your own personal tastes, so rank things however you'd l...

RedBubble Returns

I've re-launched my RedBubble store this weekend, just in time for the Holidays. I'll be adding more and more items for sale here this week, so be sure to bookmark the site and check back often. I'll be bringing back some of the previous classics as well as adding some new designs - along with some non-eve related works in the coming months. I'm excited to bring the store back after a long hiatus and hope you will enjoy it as well. The RedBubble store will not be featuring any Eve IP obviously, that is the domain of my Rixx Store and that is only for illustration works. So that is why my RedBubble store at the moment contains mostly Stay Frosty and ABA merch. But that will be changing and expanding over time. Anyway, that is my weekend update. I will leave you with this video from yesterday featuring our Country Crow Roam that was filmed by my good friend Vincent and which features two of the better fights we got ourselves into. Have a great weekend.

SALVAGE Fallout

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out my latest video for Salvage. And be sure to like and subscribe, it means a tremendous amount to me. Thank you. I'm also hard at work on a new documentary short right now and hope to have that one ready to reveal sometime in the next week or so. It built around a subject that was suggested to me and that I find especially interesting, but I'll hold off on telling you what that is until closer to the release date. But I will say that the idea, the concept, or doing more of these short subject documentary style videos on Eve history and places within New Eden is one that I find exciting. And I'm encouraged that others have also found them to be interesting as well. The past few months have been an interesting time for me. Since my work on the board game wrapped up I've been busy trying to figure out what comes next. Luckily for me I have a very understanding Wife who is also wondering what comes next for me. As you can imagin...
