Damsel in Distress: Part 1 - Tropes vs Women in Video Games

Big thanks to Kaeda Maxwell for sending me this.

DeathRace and Ducks

The Tuskers DeathRace, will be happening on Saturday, March 16. The race will be MCed by fellow Tusker and blogger Rixx Javix of EVEOGANDA, and features a race through approximately 75 different low- and null-sec systems with all the mayhem that entails. Check out the official DeathRace 2013 web site for more info!

Disclaimer: I don't get any kickbacks from this. I advertise it because I think Rixx is a pretty cool guy (eh writes blogs and doesn't afraid of anything) and because it looks like it'll be a LOT of fun. Come join us!

On an unrelated note, my last post on morality in EVE has garnered a number of comments in-game about... the duck. Since it's already stolen the show, those of you who are interested can now see The World Travels of a Giant Rubber Duck. (The fourth picture down, with the duck against the sunset and the Osaka skyline, totally looks photoshopped.)

Moral Paradox, or "Why E-Honour Is Important"

EVE is a moral paradox, and there are days where I don't understand how this game can function on a social level with so much conflict and divisiveness. I also believe the game would be boring to the point of falling apart if everyone got along.

No, this post wasn't just an excuse to use the ducky pic.

Morality is necessary to EVE, but not in the way most people would think. Read on to find out why.
