Gamer Types - EVE Online Poll results

Back in April, just over a month ago, I asked you which type of gamer you were: PC, Console, a bit of both, and everything in between. The results I got were pretty much what I expected. Of the 35 of view who took time to vote, a bit more than half (19 - 54%) are PC Gamers, me included in there. About a quarter of you (8 - 23%) are 'More PC Gamers then Console Gamers', and the rest are either equally both (5 - 14%), or more console gamers (2 - 6%). Only one played more console games then pc games. So there you have it.

As for me, as I've stated, I'm a PC Gamer first and foremost, though my XBOX 360 has it's place in my home. I use it mainly use it for first-person shooter such Halo, Gears of War or Ghost Recon. But since the rest of the games I enjoy are either RPG (Neverwinter Nights and Dungeon Siege), RTS (Starcraft, Battle Realms, 1701 A.D. and Homeworld) or MMORPG (EVE Online, GuildWars, Dungeon Runners) I tend to find that the PC is the better platform for those types of games.

What about you? I'd be interested in knowing.

EVE Speedlinking - 3 new links

I'm always on the look out for new well done EVE sites. They could be corporation or alliance sites, news sites, or reference and utilities sites. But I'm always looking for quality. As many of you know, tons of new EVE sites pop-up here and there, but some go above and beyond the rest and are shining examples of the visually appealing, the informative, and the helpful. Here are 3 of these sites:
The first two are impressive corporation sites, while the last one is a very useful site I came across through EVE's main site. You simply set-up reminders with the amount of time left, and then get an email to remind you, to nag you about it! Skill training completed anyone! Give it a try, I love it!

New EVE chronicles and Live Dev Blog podcast

Just finished listening to the latest Live Dev podcast. Quite interesting and funny. Over all, I can say that I'm glad that CCP will be putting more emphasis on the storyline through the White Wolf acquisition. With White Wolf working (oooh 4 "w" in a row, is that spooky or what!) on lore books and all, the future looks promising for us roleplayers and scifi geeks. They plan several books that will expand on the past, current, and future EVE storyline.

Speaking of which, a new chronicle is now available, "Post Morten". A good, though I read better. It'll really be interesting to see what WW can come up with.
