EVE SPACE

This is my VERY late offering to the EVE space blog trend. If you read my blog you might recall that I was renovating my space from a dusty desk off to the side of my basement to a finished office in the same area. Before the space was ever an EVE space it was known to some as "The Tech Ghetto". Here I present it for historical sentiment.



I mean what gaming space is not complete with out a million cables, a saws all, and concrete wall? I know you are all jealous and well you should be but only I will ever know how the dust felt under my toes.


Flash forward to the present day. After some hard work at my own hands I now have a modest 8x8ft office nestled away in the quiet of my basement. Sadly I had only my iPhone available for the pictures. So please forgive the poor image quality. Here is my current EVE space.



The desk wraps around to the left where my work laptop and it's second screen are dormant at this hour. A bottle of Glenfiddich, half empty, is hiding behind my Medusa NX surround headset (Awesome 5.1 surround if your looking for a headset). Not sure why there is a pocket knife and measuring tape on the desk tonight. The Rockstar energy drink is all gone and kept me alive through some more level 3's tonight. The screens are 21" with one each belonging to the two windows 7 systems to the right. They are both controlled by the G11 keyboard and Razer Diamondback mouse (old school awesome) using synergy. The Katana behind it all was a Christmas gift from my wife. Eventually will be displayed in a nice case in the middle of the wall.



As I am very new to EVE there are no fancy wall charts or eve shot glasses to strut with. In fact the room is devoid of art right now. This will change with some Anime posters, geeky trinkets and fantasy critters (dragons and such) once I find the location they are stored in. I have my eye on a megathron model on the EVE store that might just be my first EVE addition.


Like all good hermits I do not share my retreat with other humans often. Yet there is one creature who spends a great deal of time with me late at night playing EVE. His name is Wolfwood (after the trigun character) and below he can be seen pointing out that the 100mm RTP on my Incursus needs to be at least 200mm.



*EDIT* Mandrill asked if all EVE folks were cat people. So I decided to add another crappy iPhone pic of Kiku. He might be a small fox sized Shiba Inu but inside he belives he is a Lion.


Cheers

  1. Are all EVE people also cat people? I've yet to hear of an EVE'r with a dog (or even a goldfish).

  2. We have 3 cats and 1 dog in our home. Unfortunatly I could not find a way for Kiku our Shiba Inu to pose as a EVE companion.

    He is typically lounging on the sofa in the next room or on his dog bed near my heater.
