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, ...

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.

The 100 Club

Back in January 2022 I wrote a post entitled "The 100 Club" in which I discussed the ships I've flown that have registered at least 100 kills. Back then that number stood at 22 total ships and I wondered if it would be possible to ever get that number to 100. Well that final result may never happen, but I am pleased to report that almost two years later the number now stands at 35 ships with at least 100 kills registered. With an additional 10 ships with 80 or more. Which is getting closer to an almost magical sounding halfway mark. As I said back in 2022 this means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. People often misunderstand me when I talk about zKill. I don't play Eve for some sort of bragging rights, or to watch numbers change, or to spend fruitless time worrying over rankings, or records. If I cared about such things I would never, ever host so many FFA events and let myself be killed so often during them. I figure almost a full one-third of my ...

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-...

Round Up

The Eveoganda Headquarters in Ouelletta has been a flurry of activity lately as we've been hard at work pushing new content and expanding the Rixx Javix Expanded Universe. I made that all up by the way, it just sounded a lot better than the reality. The reality is that ever since my work on the Eve Board Game ended a few months ago, I've been twisting in the wind. I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself going forward. I've been poking around with getting back into the work force but those efforts have resulted in creepy levels of silence and frustration. I've been meeting with old contacts in person and every single one of those goes great - but then nothing really comes from them. And so it goes. You don't read Eveoganda for real life misery though. And I can't blame you. So let's turn our attention to more positive efforts. I had a chance over the weekend to provide one more illustration for the Board Game, this one for the inside cover of the g...
