EVE Files Mirror praise be to Chribba! Blimey! The EVE map has totally changed!. Firstly Triumverate have collapsed and other notherners scramble to grap their space. In Fountain BRUCE are getting a kicking from Pandemic Leigon. In the south, BOB and GOONS are going at it, The Goonies haven't had much luck with titans, with one getting popped, one newly built one running away still at least SUAS knows how to use one BOOYA! AAA are winning the battle against IAC, with thing looking bleak for anyone in the southern bit and due to a (typical) failure of research we notice that some guys called Solar Fleet and Solar Wing have shown up and we know sod all about them! LOLMAILS are back, with the funniest killmails which get sent to us. Fighting for the prize this week we have UNiiSaRus rocket Drake (Midslot moduleS? Who needs em!) versus jacksfrosty and his omnitanked autocannon megathron. Got a good kill mail for us to ridicule on the show? evemail the link to Urban Mongral or Winterblink! In Discussion point this week, we have have a chat about the Empyrean Age expansion in general and factional warfare in particular. We do a basic explanation on how its goign to work and Blinky indulges in a bit of xenophobia For homework this week Blinky recomends Life after people a tale of nature retaking the planet if all the humans disappear. In Community news, The CSM election results are in congratulations to everyone who got elected, The first council meetings have already taken place and a new bit of the forum has been set up. Theres a change to the game time cards which is causing a load of complaints. The 30 and 90 days cards are going and 60 day cards are being brought in. Epic new movie called Clear Skies. Its an EVE machinima using the HL2 engine! Well worth downloading and watching repeatedly We interview the man behind it John Rourke AKA Ian Chisholm. An what a nice chap he is too! Join our GAX Group Pretty please with nuts on top! Cartography news! Serenity Steele and MMM publishing have created the rather spiffeh EVE Maps book., It also contains the new low sec regions between Caldari and Gallente space To win a copy of the EVE map book book, check out the sample page, and then make your own map for what ever fictional location which you think will make us laugh! Lead out tune, 'Space Game' by MC Lars. Beyond that, just the usual random sidetrackage, gibbering and tinfoil hattery. read less

Episode 37, With EVE now five years (and 2 weeks) old we decided to put out a special show to celebrate the event and too look back to the dark days in 2003 when the game first launched. EVE Files Mirror praise be to Chribba! First up we have an interview with Valerie "Pann" Massey. (she's the one on the right). Blinky should really turn his phone off in interviews though. Check this out Goonies! Pann really liked the Little Bee's movie Back in the early days of the game, the game was published by Simon & Schuster Interactive who had some weird ideas about marketing the game They though making the box look like this was a good idea. They then filled it with garishly colored crap like the manual and finally put out some horrible movies like this one. We also got Pann to admit that SSI did force the game to release too early! Even though SSI has now shut down, we manage to snag Mike "Campion" Wallace to hear his side of things. He was the man who brought EVE to SSI and he also was EVE's first producer. He is now the boss of Colony Studio. After SSI shut down, CCP bought back the rights to publish the game and put it up online to download for free. This was a radical move in 2003! We then move onto talking to some of the important players in the early days of the game. First up we talked to Trey Ratcliff from John Galt Games. Oldskool players may remember him as Ragnar, the first boss of Taggart Transdimensional Inc. Just to remind you that Trey is the man in over-all charge of the Web Wars EVE Project. Sadly we can't get him to talk about Ragnar's Magic Hat, but its OK, Urban remembers! No look back to 2003 would be the same without a bunch of evil Bastads called m0o, in this history of MMO's nobody has managed to rule an entire game quite like those guys. we then welcome two of the m0o veterans Stavros for about the 9 millionth time on the show and Vegeta. Incidentally, the background music we have used for the interview segments is "the shadow of the sun" by Alienhand. Thanks very much for letting us use the tune sir! Anyway we hope you've enjoyed this mammoth look back at the early days of EVE, we will (with luck) be doing some more shows based on the events of other years. No promises and no time frames, but we would really like to do this. Lead out tune, "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Show. Beyond that, just the usual random sidetrackage, gibbering and tinfoil hattery. P.S. Congratz to Lavista Vista and all the other successful candiates. read less

Episode 36, Happy fifth Birthday to EVE!. EVE Files Mirror praise be to Chribba! The Tortuga experiment is at an end. While the various alliances make their way back to Empire space, Seleence decides to Disband the MC Good luck in the future to all the former MC Pilots. SirMolle, the leader of Band of Brothers, cannot help Gloating in poetry form While we may not approve of this, we cannot deny that he has earned the right to. Former friends IAC and AAA are now at each others throats, AAA are having the best of it making IAC space look like a bow tie. In the North, the Razor V Insurgency war concludes with Insurgency comming out ahead in ships but with Razor still in control of their space. LOLMAILS have a new name, they are now FAIL MAILS, but its still the funniest killmails which get sent to us. Fighting for the prize this week we have ZITremedy and his Civillian fitted 'geddon versus Larenic's omni-tanked Myrmidon. Got a good kill mail for us to ridicule on the show? evemail the link to Urban Mongral or Winterblink! In Discussion point this week, we raise a glass to 5 years of EVE. Congratulations everyone and heres to the next 5 years! We also do a little guide to Drugs, Well Combat boosters, to be precise. Give yourself that little edge in Pew-Pew and hope to avoid the side effects. For homework this week Urban recommends Persian fire the real story behind the film 300. In Community news, EVE Cast is back!, and kicks of with lots of awesome info with the CSM candidates. Speaking of the CSM, there is a new forum, Jita Park Speakers Corner. Voting has begun for the CSM. Registered players can go here to vote . Join our GAX Group Pretty please with nuts on top! Music news! Yet another new radio station start us Tri Radio, The alliance may be gone but the radio continues (for now). Lead out tune, "Everybody must get stoned" by Bob Dylan. Beyond that, just the usual random sidetrackage, gibbering and tinfoil hattery. read less
