EVE Online TV and Comic Plans; $149.99 CE

CCP offers a several new announcements about EVE Online, their sci-fi MMORPG. First is the EVE: The Second Decade Collector's Edition, a way of showing how much you love the game, as it costs $149.99. This includes collectibles, special in-game items, a book, a board game, a USB hub fashioned after a starship, and "a 'Mystery Code' that will grant owners special, but currently secret, benefits related to future CCP products and events." This is due in October, and more details can be found in the EVE Store, where preorders are underway. They also announce they are teaming with Dark Horse for comics and a source-book based on EVE Online - Stories From The First Decade and that they have also entered into a creative partnership with filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur and his production company to bring these tales from the EVE Universe "to television screens worldwide." Finally, they announce DUST 514 will launch on 5/14 (get it?) offer PlayStation 3 users a first-person shooter to interact with the EVE Universe.

Out of the Blue

We had a fine old time celebrating our anniversary yesterday. MrsBlue made an apricot chutney to go with my ancho and chipotle rubbed grilled pork tenderloin, and we were in hog heaven, so to speak. I have burgers and stuff for today, as well, but after pigging out (I'll stop now) yesterday, I'm still working up to this.
