Once again, the wheel of time dictates that Jeg and Xander sit down to discuss the happenings in the virtual universe that is New Eden. It shouldn’t surprise you to hear that most of the discussion this week centres around B-R, by many multiples of times, the bloodiest fight in Eve Online history. We also briefly discuss who is starting to announce for election to CSM9 as well as another brand new writer to the Crossing Zebras stable. Enjoy!
