Let me think...

From CrazyKinux's Blog Banter:

Why do you love EVE Online so much?

Such a simple, vague and yet difficult question.

I love EVE because of its complexity, the way it immerses you and also its brutality.

The way you can do whatever you want, however you want and whenever you want. The number of options is almost limitless, who says you can't mine in a titan, hell everyone will hate you but still, you have the option to! The career paths you can choose are pretty set, the PvE experience is set, but then you can have the option of doing it or not.

The way that your actions, success, failure or passiveness may or may not affect other real players and the environment around you. May they be your trusted corpmates who are relying on you or a fearsome enemy fleet bearing down on you. You have to admit, even though not squeaky clean, the graphical aspect of EVE is fantastic. I'm sure everyone has taken a screenshot of some celestial object sometime.

Brutality. Heck, life is life. You get blown up, you die. You move on. Although I like this way of playing, many do not. They may find it frustrating, and may emoragequit because of it. I see it as a path, a way to improve, to strive to be the best, learn from my mistakes and next time, I'll be the one giving out the brutal life.

First Blog Ever!

Hiya,

Kinda new to all this blogging stuff and what not, but hey I'll give it my best shot!

A few questions you may be asking:

1) Who the hell am I?
2) What's with the name?
3) I don't see how that relates to EVE at all...
4) OMG I LOVE MushskiC!
5) Wait, how do you pronounce that?!

Okies introduction first!

1. I am just an average guy, I live in England (cheers all round) and I play EVE Online.
I am Aaron Penn, 18, about to start Uni - going to Plymouth to read Ocean Exploration.
In EVE I am MushskiC, current CEO of the Guild Navy of the Guild Alliance. I am also the soon to be retiring Alliance Diplomat and Mascot. I am your typical Caldari missile spewing, shield tanking kinda person, I like to shoot stuff, whether this be missioning, PvP, Faction Wars, Wormhole space, 0.0 space or pirate hunting.

2. The name? Well I like it, I came up with it years ago, mostly because I was messing around on Halo PC thinking of alliterations. I think that's what an alliteration is anyway, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. BUT BE NICE ABOUT IT! =P

3. No it doesn't. I did try and think of an EVE related name, CrazyKinux already has musing, so...
MushskiC's Manticores? I don't think so. Besides I like marshmallows more than manticores.

4. Yes, I know. Spread this blog around. =)

5. MushskiC? I've heard many variations and pronunciations. Let's go to the beginning. I used to play Halo PC, used to be called "a mushroom". Why?! Dude, wtf?! Let me explain, when I killed someone it would say: RANDOMGUY was killed by a mushroom. At the time it was pretty random and funny, still is random, idk about funny. I'm a random kinda guy. Ok so, that got shortened to Mush, and then I've had variations on that, mostly by other people. Mushy, Mushie, Mushykins, Mushmush, M, M-town (don't ask). Well the list goes on. Anyway in EVE i decided to sign up my character as Mushski, after a week or so I decided to go the Caldari route, MushskiC was born. C for Caldari. ;)
How to pronounce that? Mush-ski-see. Easy. However everyone just says Mush, which is a lot easier.

Right I will do another post later explaining who I am in EVE, why I started blogging and about my alliance.

Fly safe people.
