Thats one good bit of marketing...
Sep. 1st, 2006 11:52 amI’ve gone & bought a paid account on Eve; I’ve enjoyed it sufficiently in the last week or so that I’ve decided to subscribe - now all I have to do is assemble skills & equipment & money & reputation and and and…! Ok, the 2-week trial period isn’t over, but the fact is that C’s parents are now over, so access to the computer is going to be very difficult for the next week or so – when I have to upgrade my account. So I cut to the chase & went live instead. Lets face it, I wasn’t not going to now was I?
I’m seriously impressed with the games depth, scale & permutations available – and also the fact that it has natural balancing points that allow you to have a ‘real life’ at the same time; yesterday I was on for 20 minutes, doing upgrades & re-setting my training, and for at least 90% of the time, I was chatting with C or doing housework. So, for all you waverers out there (not that I think that there are that many, tbh) I have just one thing to say: Join ussss. Joiiin usss….
Also I’m pleased to report that I’m now getting correspondence on BNW. (How will I cope?! All this email eating into my computer gaming time?) Actually I’m a bit concerned about BNW; I want to keep running it, but since 3 temps were done away with here, I’ve got a lot less time on my hands to do the random creative stuff (I tended to write snippets in my lunch break – which is now a darn site more difficult). This is not some sort of coded announcement that I’m going to kill it (at least not for the foreseeable future), but at the same time, I’m worried that it will start to go the way of the Renaissance game (which plays once every blue moon, unless there’s an n in the month & doesn’t seem to have any real focus). So, I dunno. I’ll wait & see how it goes. But I certainly don’t want to have it simply fade away.
Lastly, I’m going to the hospital on Wednesday. The local doc has expressed bafflement at the fact that I seem to have an ulcer that’s just not clearing up, so I’m going to be officially poked, with tubes & medical students & machines that go ping. I’m not particularly worried that they’ll find something horrid as I’ve had the ulcer for almost 2 years, so – if it were serious - why am I not dead? Or at the very least, significantly worse off than I was 2 years ago? (Which I’m not). In addition, the procedure will be taking place at 8:30am & I’ve got the whole day off work. I wonder what I’m going to be doing for the rest of the day.
Hmm. All that time, At home. On my own. Hmmm. I wonder…

PS. Yes. It probably will be housework!
