For the past few years I have been steadily playing EVE Online and only recently have I started to seriously start training into Capital Ships, namely the Amarr Dreadnought. The Revelation. I started out as Amarr because I loved the idea of flying picturesque golden ships that fired giant beams of lasery death! They did not disappoint. About a year into my EVE Career I joined a small null-sec alliance (Pretty much a guild that lived in an area of the game where PVP is unrestricted). And about Six months after I joined, we joined the biggest coalition in the game. The CFC or Clusterfuck Coalition. During the following year or so we expanded northwards in the galaxy and at the height of its rule we (Us and Allies) owned about One Quarter of the game universe. You don't see stuff like that in any other MMO. EVE is also the only MMO where Scamming and other underhanded in-game behavior is perfectly acceptable, provided you don't RMT (Real Money Trade) you are fine. One of my friends commented that it doesn't sound like a very nice game when I mentioned that to them. I laughed, but its true. It really isn't a friendly game. The Learning Curve is a sheer cliff with people at the top throwing bombs down at you, unlike a game such as WoW. EVE Online brings out the very worst and the very best in people, that's why I love it!
Tonight I decided to go and play a game that I haven't touched in around Five months. Neverwinter Nights, the original. Sure, it's an old game but it's so good! Especially online. The most enjoyment I've ever gotten out of almost any game was had on a particular server of Neverwinter Nights. Arelith. It's a proper "Roleplay" server, and just like Pen and Paper D&D you get the opportunity to play out your characters every move, emotion and sentence. My main character is a female Half-Elf named Mana, and her body is partly living crystal. Although being a "Special Snowflake" is highly ill advised, she was my first mistake on that server and I have turned her into my greatest achievement on there. I could take all the adventures she has had and write at least Three thick novels about her, but I'm not going to because I'm much to busy gaming!
Earlier, today I played Bruiser Sivir with Thresh support in ranked. I went up against a Caitlyn with Volibear support. I fed pretty hard early on but by the mid game I was killing Caitlyn pretty easily in a 1v1. It was a very narrow victory on out part though, due to some all round bad plays.
