BlizzCon 2026 is now in the books. All that was said has been recorded. Now it is time to get in some reactions around what went on. There will be months of analysis, but the post-game gut reaction is important too. I am going to go through this in the same order I did back […]
The calendar sweeps forward relentlessly and we find ourselves once again facing elections. No, not those election. We’ll get to that real world pending disaster on our own. Instead I am referring, once again, to the EVE Online elections for the Council of Stellar Management. CCP has put out the first dev blog about the […]
Vacation is over and the whole 20 year thing is now in the rear view mirror. Time to get back to it. The words won’t just vomit themselves onto the page. As I mentioned in yesterday’s anniversary post, it was probably a good week to be away, at least when it came to the league. […]
Today is the day I hit the mark. WordPress.com has confirmed. I have been blogging here for 20 years. It is time once again to recap. This post guaranteed to contain at least 17.7% new content by volume. Also, I am avoiding AI and proving it by using my awful Canva banner for this celebration. […]
I do regard people who loudly declare that they have no regrets in life to be a bit tedious. I certainly don’t believe them. Also, they might possibly be drunk… or malignant sociopaths like Marc Andreeson. Still, if you’re putting it out there that there is no decision in life that you might have made […]
Welcome to anniversary week here at TAGN. Come Saturday the blog will turn 20 years old, so I am calling this week the TAGN 20th Anniversary Collector’s Edition. Unlike most collector’s edition, this one won’t run you $100. It is free, though it might be deemed too expensive by some even at that price. I […]
Foolishly Potshot let me name the first base we established on the planet Aqualis and I chose to name it Sumatra. It makes a bit of sense when you learn that Aqualis is, as the name implies, a water planet with islands. And, once the theme was set, further islands were christened with with names […]
I did my in character reflections on playing EVE Online back on my actual anniversary date at the end of August. That was an attempt to tie in the lore with the experience of actually playing the game, something which can be at odds. But EVE Online is a game of numbers. Well, any MMORPG […]
Sixty years ago yesterday tomorrow, on September 8, 1966 for those of you who cannot do calendar math, the first episode of Star Trek aired. I was about one and a half at the time, so missed the premier. But that was probably okay. In addition to being too young to appreciate the series, the […]
BlizzCon 2026 will be arriving at the end of the week. On Saturday September 12th we’ll get the big keynote speech that will reveal the plans for the company for the next year or so. It is too late to get tickets to be there in person. Those sold out ages ago. Also, I will […]
We are back with some more actual video game releases here in week thirty-six. We had four titles lined up for release in the league this week. Surely somebody much have made out with that many titles in play. But first we have to stop and look at where we ended up last week on […]
