Venoms Bite

If you would please refer to the above graphic from Battle Clinic, a chart showing the exact moments when becoming a Mom killed Venom Orchid.  I have been feeling good as of late, I have been logging in and playing the game; actually, I have been logging in and assisting Mynx in our Universe domination plan.  Pew Pew has not been on the HUD, sadly I can show you where moments in my last 6 months have collided with my Battle Clinic stats.  Stats were climbing, at a good clip, then I got word about my new soon to be adopted son.  I rushed away to meet him, and you can see how things start to round off on the graph, the start of my downward spiral.  Followed by: my son starts to have Pew Pew with Pew Pew of his own, gas.  Then in September he learned that his room was very lonely and if he cried enough, I’d come get him.  Somewhere in October I had a strong showing and my blip on the chart went up, only to be nerfed by teething.

All in all I’m happy to say, being a Mommy is the best thing I ever did and I am now feeling more regular about playing.  I hope to get back into blogging and improving my stories of Venom.

Ciao!

Mynxee hit me up on comms this morning to show me this: http://www.massively.com/2010/02/10/outlaws-of-eve-online-mynxee/

How often do you play a video game and you get mentioned in an article about it.  Not that often, unless you are a Hellcat.

“Can anyone hear me?”

The onboard coms crackled and screamed but nothing sounding like a human voice could be heard.  Venom set her communications system on long range and hoped for the best:

“Mynx, if you can hear me, I’m going to start blogging again.”

–

That’s right, after a little break due to going planetside to get my new son and bond with him (aka learn how to change a diaper in 10 seconds or less), Venom is back. Laboheme Orchid is back as well, have you met her, she’s Venom’s sister.  You will learn about her in Act’s II and III of the Venom story.  Venom has been back for a little while, getting out into space here and there, yet piracy has taken a bit of a backseat.  Soon that will all change.

Take a look at Mynx’s last post on what we are doing, it’s truly an exciting time for us Hellcats.  A new path and a new goal that is more lofty than any we have ever undertaken.

In respect to that, Venom Orchid will always be a -10 pirate in low sec and her sister Laboheme will be the hi sec big ship pirate that we will need for our new plans.

Yet at them moment, Laboheme is in null sec ratting up her status, which is a completely mind numbing experience.  From -9.5 to now at -4.25, the brain cells destroyed are uncountable.  This will never occur again, mark my words.

On that note, back to listening to the sleep inducing rat chatter on the coms.

Check back, regularly more to come…..

Venom

PS…the blog will be getting a redesign this week as well.

Over the last year and a half Venom has been trying to adopt a baby, in the last few days it finally happened.  Venom is going planet side for a while to go get her new baby boy.  Although a newborn, Venom is thinking of getting him into mining school right away.

All kidding aside, the long section of this road seems to be coming to a stop sign, with a vast expanse beyond it.  I won’t be quitting EVE (I’ll need it when I can get on) and no you can’t have my stuff.  If it turns into a longer hiatus, well, I guess that just means Venom will be in a Carrier next time you see her.

Wish me luck and I promise to drop in and get some kills, of course keeping it updated here.

Signing off for now…

Original Post: Seven Blogs, Heaps of Love

Sweet vid by Chacacha: Hellcats

Also, don’t forget that CrazyKinux and his lists of bloggers, must be like herding cats but he does it well.

250 BLOGS!!  I remember when the list had like 30 and I thought that was impressive.

It would appear that in the move we are having some technical difficulties, i.e. not able to post a comment and even the RSS feed not updating.  I assure you we are working on fixing these issues and will return to normally scheduled programming soon.

Until then, Shatup
