We’re back! After a short break, the reigns of the show have shifted hands once again, and I (Kyle Yanowski) will do my very best to ensure that High Drag remains active and alive – bringing you discussions from the smoky bar rooms of New Eden. Coming back after a significant hiatus, I noticed that a lot of the Eve news sites and podcasts that I once relied to get through the honey-do list, are now gone. Sad as it is, we decided to touch on this subject and more, in Episode 99 of the High Drag Eve Online Podcast.

In this Episode:

1. The End of the Eve Media Meta Era
2. Hypernet Relay
3. And much much more!

The Panel for this Episode:

1. Kyle Yanowski
2. Ashterothi
3. Felinor Llin

Music in this Episode:
“Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen

Notes from the show:
The Poem “Eyes Forward Capsuleer” by Dranchela

Eyes forward, capsuleer, the cyno is not yet lit.
Consider your modules, your rigs and ammo before you undock, for the cyno is not yet lit.
Break free of the station and witness the universe before you, For the cyno is not yet lit.
Set your ship to fly through the vastness while you wait, For the cyno is not yet lit.
Pay attention, capsuleer, for those who have gone before you call for you to join them.
The cyno is now lit.

Episode 97 is the crew discussing the Triglavian Invasion. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s already here. But, at the time we were spitballing all the fun regarding the new T2 Trig ships, the Invasion and more precisely…

…the loot!

Hope you enjoy!

Hey High Drag Listeners o/

Just when you thought you were completely over the Brisc Rubal Banning, then comes the subsequent UNbanning and we’re late to the party again! As we noted prior to episode 95, 96 was a replacement recording for the missing 95 and we come in at the tail end of the announcement of Brisc’s return and the apology by CCP. We promise you no more Rubal, but we did want to get the episode out since we went through all the trouble to get it to download.

Thanks. ALOT. Discord.

Hey High Drag Listeners o/
Episode 95 was a challenge. We switched our recording medium from Mumble to Discord and I F**king hate Discord. Sorry. We recorded the episode and it vanished when we finished. Kind of tough to edit when you cannot find the file. We then got together and recorded episode 96 as a replacement and while we could find the file, we couldn’t download it. Not a very good start for Discord.

However, not only did we manage to track down the errant episode 95, but we also downloaded episode 96!!

Episode 95 was recorded right after the April patch and the breaking news of Brisc Rubal’s banning. While many of the EVE news outlets pounced on the Brisc news, we wanted to take a slightly different take on the discussion. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it. House Hendoe joins us in this belated April Fools recording.

Episode 94 was our 2019 dart board episode where we had a ton of little things to touch on. From the opening lines from Ashterothi saying “now everything is happening”, we move on through with Grats to Katia Sae for her amazing tour of New Eden, Wars, the spring patch….Whew!! So many little things. Then, the bitter. CCP Guard announced that he was leaving CCP and Evesterdam would be his last event as a dev. Our shout outs at the end are a tribute to Guard and the positive energy he brought to a sometimes infuriating game. Svenni, we will miss you. o7 and Fly safe!

Hey High Drag listeners!

This was our second attempt to record episode 93. In our first attempt, we invited House Hendoe and recorded a fine show but we suffered some sort of Azariah level gremlin attack. I made several attempts to work with the audio, but eventually, I ended up scrapping it. We will bring back Hendoe again, but in this recording, we have Greygal and the rare appearance from Kyle Yanowski.

Our discussions this time around cover the Alaskan Cruise arranged by Greygal, The cancellation of the Alliance Tournament and the aftermath of Guardian’s Gala.

Also, episode 93 marks the first time Opus Magnum takes the reins and runs the show! Hope you all enjoy! Please take a minute and give us a review on your preferred method of listening. It helps us be more visible to people who may be looking for EVE related podcasts.

Hey High Drag listeners!

Between real life and real illness, our first episode of 2019 got out a little slower than I hoped and for that, I’m very sorry!

Episode 92 was a retrospective. During gluing together the montage in our anniversary episode, I got to thinking about how Episode 38: A Noob Hope was one of our most popular episodes at the time. That was 5 long years ago and many things have changed. So, issuing in the new year, we decided to revisit A Noob Hope and see how our answers changed from then. Hope you enjoy!

Happy Holidays High Drag Listeners!
We recorded this episode just before the Christmas holiday and due to just real life stuff, I am a little late getting it all wrapped up and served with a bow. In this episode, we discuss the destruction of the very first Keepstar in Hard Knock’s hole, Rage. We also talk about the winter event “Operation Permafrost” and the winter presents, compliments of CCP.

I’ll be honest, this is a bit of a ragey episode. We’ll just think of Permafrost as that one relative that shows up for the holidays that you have to tolerate. Hope you enjoy!!

Tonights recording was quite the milestone for us. As of the recording, we had turned 6 years old as a podcast. My, how the time flies! Tonight’s crew talk a bit about the December patch that will drop on the 11th but more importantly, I search through the early episodes of High Drag starting at episode 2 and splice together a montage of some moments I found clever or funny. It’s amazing to hear the quality of the recording change over the course of that year. Yea, a year. With 89 episodes in the can, I had a lot to listen to to find those. Soooooo….the montage covers up until January 2014 where we crown our new intro. I think from this point on, we may do a bit here or there from the histories, but for now, we hope you enjoy the ones I found.

A huge “THANK YOU” to all our listeners. You are great!
