This weekend turned out to be rather interesting. I had to spend some money, which was not planned. I also re-subbed to a game so I could make some money (virtual, sadly). In both cases, I had some fun as a result. Lets start with the spending.
I got up Saturday morning to find that my monitor no longer worked. I had it for over three years, so I was sad to see it go. On the positive side, it means I get a new monitor! A quick trip to Best Buy and I had an Acer S232. It's a 23" LED monitor that has a resolution of 1920 x 1068. Both stats are an improvement for me. It also only cost ~$169. It's cheap enough that I can still get a new monitor when I upgrade my system next year.
On Friday I re-subscribed to EVE Online. I blame Social Media (twitter, blogs) pressure for my return to the game. The main reason I did it was because I was in the mood for a challenge. Specifically, I wanted to have to think and plan. I also found out that my ship was no longer stranded in a wormhole. I guess it gets moved if your account is inactive long enough.
I'm not sure how much time I'll spend in EVE, what with TOR coming out next month. It was only $10 for the month, so I think I'll get my monies worth. So now the question is, what to do?
I have $250 million Isk in my bank account at the moment. My Drake is T2 shield fitted, so has about 33,000 effective HP. It was meant to take some abuse from Sleepers, and is probably just a bit overkill for my Level 2 Agent missions.I really don;t feel like grinding missions to get to Level 3.
My goal is to turn that 250 million into 1 billion Isk. I have pretty good Manufacturing and Trading skills, so I'm leaning towards using those to accomplish my goal. I'm open to ideas though. It should be pretty fun, I'm currently researching trade route and products to sell.
