Eternal Night

Yea, I think the big draw back to this game is that in most areas of the game you pretty much have to dedicate a lot of time to the game. Though I have found ways to enjoy the game on a tight schedule. Right now I enlisted my main in faction warfare, and I pretty much only log in for about an hour or two and PvP or run a few missions and log out. I found it to be a better setup then when I was in Test or Nulli (rip N3). Content comes rather quickly in the warzone mostly in the form of 1v1s or 1v2s (unless you're in Huola) and its not long before I usually get my fill and feel satisfied. Yes EVE definately takes time to get into, but its more so about how you spend the time you play, rather than how long you play. You just have to find what you like doing and find a way to make it work within your limits.

Just curious to see if anyone of you here played,have played, or are interested in playing. I've been addicted to this game for over four years and have done just about everything to trader to full blown piracy and I find it to be one of the most amazing experiences in gaming I've ever had.

I got my avatar picture after I googled for a ponified version of one of my favorite anime characters out of curiosity. I liked what I saw and keot it ever since, though I do get kinda annoyed when people assume it's my OC but whatever. I like it so there's that.

Da Hip Hop Witch, it was extremely bad but funny bad to me. Especially if you've ever listened to late 90's and early 2000's hip hop.

I'm absolutely horrible at fighting games but I still love to play Valentine and Ms.Fortune. I love how they play since they are rather noob friendly and are easy for fighting game scrubs like me to pick up and play. Valentines back story is also pretty awesome, which made me enjoy her as a character.

Right now I'm not playing much, other than some persona when I'm on break at work.

It's one of the quests they release after they released the hunting skill, the first one is called Cold War and it's so damn funny if you know your history. I don't want to spoil much but a bunch of crazy penguins from the KGP (a spin-off of the Russian KGB). Honestly it's probably one of their best questlines because they just go nuts with it. It's a lot of fun, I highly recommend checking it out, compared to the other quests this one doesn't have much bullshit to it and the writing is great. Well as great as the writing can be in runescape lets be honest here, it's runescape after all...

I recently took up Old School Runescape for the sake of nostalgia. Its been a lot if fun reliving some of the great memories I have from it. My favorite questline is still the ones with penguins trying to conquer the world.

Ah I had no idea actually lol. Even though I've been enjoying the series for over a decade I still don't know a lot about the lore.

Posted here the first time accidently when meaning to reply to another thread but why not I guess. (Last edit I swear, I feel this post is a lesson of why not to post things while sleep deprived.) Name: Neo Sex: male Age: 24 Race: Breton War Status: Imperial Birthday: Sometime in April / Rainshand. Residence: Small village in High Rock / what ever inn he finds himself at Back story: Failed out of a prestigious magic school in High Rock and now wanders Tamriel learning various spells though crazy misadventures. Personality: While he is an incredibly gifted magic user , he hates studying. Unlike most mages he learns best kinetically and while under pressure. His other interests include getting incredibly drunk and partying and is pretty much at home anywhere he can get a drink in his hand.

I learned about it the way I learned a lot of things when I was ten, the internet. I heard some kids mention the word sex on the school bus and then I went home and googled it. That was also the same day I learned what porn was, I'll never forget the look on my parents faces were the best when they saw the computer screen.

"I'll have what he's having," I say pointing to a particularly drunk customer, with a pint of what seemed to be a locally brewed ale. The bartender simply rolled his eyes at my terrible joke and headed off to get our drinks. I thought it was funny... I took a quick look at the menu and decided on something that looked good. I didn't really care what I ordered, if I could I would probably order the whole menu. After what I've been eating the past six months, anything sounded appetizing. "So tell me," I say after deciding on something to eat. "What's this friend of yours like?"

As we walked through the city I heard Atlas talk about his friend or something living in Ponyville. I honestly only half listened except when he mentioned something about a blue fridge, normally I would question such things but after what had happened on the island I learned better than to question his judgement. So I just nod and acknowledgement and make small talk for a bit with him, as I took in the sights of the city. "Nice to be back around people besides sailors, eh?" "yea, no kidding..." those sailors were a rough bunch. "Then again, they probably would have a lot more amicable to you, if you hadn't convinced the captain I was your slave." I was still a little upset at that one, mostly because of the horrible implications and stigmas that come from even mentioning slavery to begin with. Though I couldn't really stay mad about it though. After all, it stopped me from getting thrown overboard or getting sent back to Equestria and potentially arrested. So I suppose i owe him for that, I guess. "Hey, if you see a place to grab a bite speak up, we haven't eaten real food in... Months, right?" My stomach rumbled at as soon as he mentioned that, the thought of eating something edible was enough to almost make me salivate on the spot. It was good timing he mentioned that too as we were just passing by a nice looking inn. "Sounds good to me, wanna just eat here? I heard nothing but great things about Trottingham pubs." I also just wanted a stiff drink, had been awhile and it was one of the few guilty pleasures I could ever afford. "Come on, first rounds on me." The least I could do is buy this guy a drink, after he totally bailed me out of a really awkward situation and saved my life countless of times. Plus it's a time to celebrate, after all the things we've been through we deserved to let loose a little.

Why did you go and post this, now i'm addicted again...

"Time waits for no one Cosmo!" wait what does that even mean? I shook my head, there was no need to really dwell on it. After all the time I've spent with him on the island and the trip home I've gotten used to his quirks. My legs wobbled a little as I got used to walking on land again, if I never had to take a boat again it would be too soon. At least this time was a lot better, I wasn't traveling by myself and that ginger Atlas carried came in handy when I kept getting sea sick. Still I'd rather not take another boat ride anywhere, especially not one that long ever again. I followed after Atlas as he took off without warning as he usually did, heeding his advice I threw up my hood to avoid getting spotted by law enforcement. Even though I had been gone for so long, I doubt the guard had given up looking for me especially her... *gulp* I shuttered at the thought of her ever finding me, as strong as Atlas is I doubt he could stand up to her for long. I pushed that thought past me, dwelling on this wouldn't do much for me anyway. Besides I doubt she would be personally looking for me, after all that happened between us I doubt she still cares about me anyway. I took in the sights of Trottingham to put my mind at ease, it was refreshing to be in a city that wasn't Manehatten for a change. If there was anything I could be thankful about being on the run like this, it's all the new sights I could soak in. Before all of this happened I couldn't have even imagined leaving stepping foot out of my old neighborhood for even a day. Let alone the months I've been away now. I wonder how everything was back in Manehatten... I guess I could find out later, I'll have more than enough time to think about that while I'm laying low at Atlas's place. If I remembered correctly he said he lived in some backwater town in the middle of nowhere, so I should be fairly safe from any law enforcement. I wonder what kinda house a guy like him lives in, my imagination wandered at the possibilities. As my mind was off in it's own little world as normal, I didn't realize right away that Atlas had gotten way ahead of me. I sighed to myself and trotted off after him as he seemingly bolted through the crowds of the Trottingham Port. "Hey, don't just go running of without me! " I yelled after him, but I already knew my words had fallen on deaf ears. I swear you give this guy even figment of an idea he'll go running off in any random direction. I suppose he's just excited to be heading home and I couldn't blame him. After all we had been through, I was just as excited to be back in Equestria, criminal record and all.

@@Firehearted, I nodded and followed after Atlas. Luckily I didn't really leave much after last nights attack so it was relatively easy for me to gather up my stuff and head on out. I unpacked a few of my rations, some bread left over from the provisions I swiped aboard the ship, taking only small drinks from my canteen to preserve water. I ate and marched behind Atlas in an awkward silence. I hardly had any energy really, but I forced my aching body to follow behind him. Last night was rough on us both, I feel as though it was my fault we got attacked. After all, it was my bright idea to take up camp in the middle of that clearing. If I didn't wake up when I did we'd both have been bird food. The combination of guilt and this splitting headache prevented me from thinking clearly. So I just trudged alongside Atlas, hoping that worst was already behind us.

@@Pripyat Pony,@@Firehearted, "Was that really it?" I asked with a blank expression my mind expecting a whole lot more. "I don't really feel all that different." It was at that moment when I realized my headache was gone, completely gone. In fact for once in my life my head felt, it felt, clear... The random pains and aches throughout my body were gone too, it was a bazaar feeling. Even doubling the dosage on my medicine never had an effect quite like this. It was truly remarkable, I didn't know what to think. For once in my life I was no longer chained down by this stupid disorder. No longer did my magic muster inside of me wildly, instead it flowed evenly and freely. The vast energies that dwelled deep within me were finally mine to control. "This must have been what Balestra must have talking about..." I thought to myself, with an arrogant grin. "She always did tell me I had talent, I'm sorry I ever doubted her." My horn glowed a hue of light green as the excitement of my new found power mustered up some magical energy. I smirked with anticipation, eager to test put my awakened powers. However seeing as how the guards were watching us like hawks. I would have to save my tests for later I suppose. It was disappointing really, it was like getting a gift you couldn't open right away. I couldn't remember a time in my life I was this fired up. I felt like I needed to run a marathon to burn off all this energy. I looked towards Jinx and gave her a confident grin. "I'm sorry I ever doubted you, I can't say I ever felt this good in my entire life." "Though I have to ask," I began to say with a more serious tone. " Is there a possibility you could teach me this spell?"

@@Firehearted, @@Pripyat Pony, "Everypony who is done eating head outside for recreation." Yelled the guard. I grabbed my tray looked back towards Jay and Atlas. "Looks like that's our cue to get out of here." After I took care of my tray I used another whisper to send one last message to Jay. "Tell Jinx if she thinks she can do it, now would be our best time to try." Once I casted that and started heading outside with the rest of the prisoners, I conjured up my final whisper, since using all this magic admittedly started giving me a headache, and sent it to Atlas. "Hey, its Cosmo, been awhile since I did this huh? Anyway don't say anything but Jinx is going to try some spell on me to see if it has any effect on my magic. If things go wrong I'm trusting you to stop her, while I believe Jay can be trusted I don't know about Jinx. Something about her dark magic puts me on edge but I feel I should give her a chance. Who knows, this can either be a huge mistake or something truly amazing. I think I should give it a shot, and should things go wrong and she double crosses us I want you to stop her at all costs. I don't know if we can trust her, but if she proved herself I think we'd have a powerful ally." Powerful was one word for it, with her magic we'd be unstoppable. Not mention she definitely has an in with that interrogator, which will definitely come in handy around here... I walked outside with the rest of the inmates and stood in a corner in the exercise yard, waiting for Atlas and Jay to make it outside. Hopefully Jinx's spell worked and she didn't try anything funny. If that happened I have no idea of Atlas could even stop it. For all I knew this spell thats supposed to balance my magic could just be a way to control me like a puppet. As much as I didnt like the idea, I had to put my faith in the two of them for now.

@@Firehearted, I nodded and gathered up the rest of the stuff that was still lying around. An awkward silence hung in the air and while I tried my best to say something, anything, I just couldn't bring myself to. My original judgements about Atlas on the boat were right though, there was something incredibly wrong with him. Judging by what he's told me about his past it had to be serious, probably some sort of trauma he faced during the wars he fought. Until he opened up to me I wouldn't be able help him anyway, forcing him to talk about it would only make it worse. Help him... Ha! I am definitely getting soft. I wonder what the family would think if I told them about me wanting to actually help another pony out. Still I couldn't help but worry about the guy, he is obviously distressed. Though there isn't much I could do, I'm not a trained professional. I sighed a little in frustration, and finished gathering up my stuff. Once I got everything back together again I looked back towards Atlas. "So where to next?"

@@Pripyat Pony, @@Firehearted, "I gathered that," I said again using another whisper spell. "But given my circumstance you can understand why I'm skeptical. Its almost like telling a blind pony you'd give them the ability to see. Besides as long as I'm in here I don't see the use of it save curiosity. Not like I can really use magic in here, especially the spells I know." I finished the food on my tray and looked back towards Atlas after he finished chugging all that coffee. I'm surprised his tounge hasn't burnt off, that coffee looked scalding. I shook my head a little and took a sip of my own coffee, and forced it down with a disgusted expression. I always hated this bitter sludge but the caffeine helped with the migraines so I always tried to force a cup down in the morning. "Anyway," I asked trying to change the subject a little. "What did you all have planned for today?"

I was once the proud owner of a working Magnavox Oddessy but I got an offer on it I couldn't refuse (college is expensive) so I sold it so I could pay for books. So now the oldest system I own now is an N64.

(Sorry I forgot to post here.... My bad) @@Firehearted, The sun peaked through the branches of the random bush Atlas and I took shelter under after that terrifying raven attack. My head throbbed and my body ache, I must have over done it with the magic I think... I really couldn't remember last night was a blur to me. I rubbed my head a little and moved out of the bush when I noticed Atlas wasn't there. There was just this eerie, and the soft sounds of sobbing in the distance. "Atlas?" I called out as I cautiously approached the cries. For all I knew it could been another crazy monster trying to murder us. Though sure enough there he was sitting on the forest floor, sobbing in probably one of the most pathetic states I'd ever seen a pony. If this were the streets of Manehatten I would have just left him be, but seeing how he's my only ticket off this rock I needed him. I called out his name a few times only for him ignore it, he seemed so upset he didn't realize I was there. He was completely broken, he looks as though he'd been crying there all night. I couldn't tell if I was going soft or if I truly gave a damn about this random Pegasus I had just met but I mustered as much magic as I could. With a simple spell, I filled the air with a soothing tranquil atmosphere. The magical energy mellowed me out and undoubtfully Atlas as the spells calming properties began to, well, work their magic. (Yea I know that was a terrible joke... Sue me.) "What's wrong, Atlas?" I asked in a mellow, relaxed tone, while awkardly patting his back.

@@Pripyat Pony, "Ha, if I had a bit for everytime I heard that..." I said with a smirk. I casted up a whisper while Atlas was too busy enjoying his coffee, and directed it so that only Jay could hear it. "Listen, Atlas knows first hand just how messed up my magic is its a miracle I can even do this. I don't doubt Jinx's magical abilities but do you really think she could fix something like this? Enveration isn't really all that simple you know, and after yesterday I'm not looking to try anything for awhile. I'll keep that offer in mind however." I returned back to my breakfast after casting the spell and shovled a few mouths full, I was still voraciously hungry. I honestly didn't doubt the power Jinx had, however I didn't think she was willing to help me out of the kindness of her heart. She must need me for something if she's offering to help me like that. I guess that'll all become clearer as time goes on. Worrying about it won't solve anything, judging by our sentences I have all the time in the world to figure out a possible motive. After all, its not like I'm leaving here anytime soon.

@@Firehearted,@@Pripyat Pony, I shook my head a little and shoved a bit more food in my face, which admittedly wasn't nearly as horrible as usual. Then again anything tastes good when you're as starved as I was. I tried to ignore Atlas' other half or deamon thingy as she voraciously downed the cup of coffee in front of her... him?? This was still utterly confusing to me but I figure lingering on that wouldn't really help things. "So how are you doing today?" I say looking up from my tray. "I'm sorry about yesterday, my magic doesn't really work right and I need to take medicine so it doesn't get out of control."
