I have pre-ordered Skyrim from game.co.uk since it's much cheaper and in a way more convenient for the game to be sent to me. When I get it next week I'm going to disappear into a miasma of fun and a burgeoning addiction.
Oh to have a new and exciting game ^_^
For now I'll have to be content with EVE Online and wait, cause I really want that Hulk (which is mildly cheaper compared to the Hulkageddon prices). So I better get mining, or get myself a BS so I can finally do level 4 missions. Ironically with the Republic Security Services.
I'm probably a traitor to my race, oh well :D
All hail our glorious Empress Jamyl!

EVE Online Election Time
So finally it has come around. Campaigning and voting for CSM6.
This will be the first time I've participated in the CSM process since the last time I started playing EVE there wasn't one on (not to my knowledge). Unfortunately for me I was unprepared for the miasma of information regarding candidates.
How was I to choose the most worthy representative? And which candidate was a good fit for my interests?
Thankfully on the EVE forums an enterprising citizen had part of the answer. They had made a website that compares your views with that of participating candidates. There was a questionnaire you had to fill in and then once completed, compared it with the candidates answers. Plus most of them gave a bit of extra information on why they felt that way and also if a particular item was extremely important to them.
There was so many good answers, but it still left me with about 7-10 candidates to pick from. So I went on the EVE forums once more to see what they had posted and what the responses were. There was a lot of topics by the candidates and it was clear there was a few that would definitely get voted on, just by the shear size of the alliance and friends backing their candidate.
Hopefully mine will get chosen to fill a seat at the CSM table. There are nine spots with various roles and of course a few places reserved for the alternates in case of members quitting or scandal, as is what happened a month or so ago (and indeed several times during the history of CSM).
Now we just have to wait and see at the beginning of April for the election outcomes. My fingers are crossed that we get a good selection.
On a completely different note, I've decided to only update my deviant art journal and not this one just to save time for the Sketch a Day posts.

New Year
I haven't really blogged all that much, because I have slowly become addicted to EVE Online again. The worse thing though is that at the end of the year a new game is being released that I will HAVE to get. I have no say in the matter. None at all.
That game is Skyrim, and from what I have seen in the trailers, it's quiet shiny (except for the water, but hopefully that'll get fixed).
My other addiction is Minecraft. And I am always frustrated when it crashes and I haven't saved it; inevitably I get suffocated. It's no fun at all when that happens. When it does I just change worlds for a while to forget the painful experience. Until it happens again :(
The recent update kinda made me freak out. The shadows are just ... egh. I hope I get use to them but I don't know.
So now I'm going to try to control these addictions, by doing some work and then rewarding myself with an hour of a game.
This may take some time.
