CCP has finally made the Fanfest passes available for purchase here. Just a reminder to those who’ve bought hotel packages, you need the pass as well since it’s not included in the price.

#162: Recycle Bin
I went through a pretty hefty bit of hangar cleanup myself lately, and you can read a bit about it on my blog about Asset Cleanup if you like. Anyway, turns out the station I was in had this giant pit beneath my ship. And thus, inspiration strikes again!
#161: Honesty in Ratings
Well the Empyrean Age trailer came out, to much fanfare. It was pretty epic overall, especially the last 20 seconds of totally computer-generated imagery where an Amarr Abaddon wtfpwns a whole Minmatar fleet with a spectacular superweapon which will never exist in the game outside of the story.
Let me tell you, the whole thing looks incredible on my home theater. :)

#160: His Favorite Gun
Anyone who hasn’t already seen Clear Skies should do so immediately. It’s definitely one of the most unique EVE videos ever done. :)
It can get lonely in space, filming machinima. The real question here is: who’s taking the pictures? Dun-dun-DUNNNNN…
A special thanks to Ian Chisholm for not only taking the time to pose his best buddies for the pictures. Nice touch leaving yourself out of this one. :)

#159: Save the Donuts Save the World
Every once in a while I’m rolling around through Empire space and run across a ridiculous pile of CONCORD at gates. I can only assume there’s some kind of hunger-related reasons they’re so willing to dispatch a giant fleet of ships to rescue someone’s freighter.
The Empyrean Age expansion’s been announced to be coming out in 9 days, so for those of you who plan on joining up with a militia, enjoy the protection of CONCORD while you still can. :)
