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.

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/hd-98-high-drag-eve-universe-mash-up.mp3High Drag Eve Universe Mash Up Heya High Drag Listeners o/ I’m not sure who got the recording dates messed up (ok, I’ll take the blame for it) but we discovered that I had planned a High Drag recording the same evening that Ash planned an Eve Universe recording. Well, just like that “peanut butter in my chocolate” candy bar commercial, we decided to put the two together and see what shakes out. This episode is heavily lore influenced where it comes to the Triglavian Invasion. Honestly, there is sooo much deep information given that I’ll need to listen a couple times to digest it all. We are joined in the recording studio by Amarrian RP’er Arsia Elkin and Loremaster Makoto Priano for this powerhouse mash up. Panel Members Ashterothi Random McNally Opus Magnum Daehan Minhyok Arsia Elkin Makoto Priano Links soon to come!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/hd-97-pre-invasion-speculation.mp3Pre Invasion Speculation Hey High Drag Listeners o/ Sometimes, RL can suck. In the past I’ve mentioned that I work for a public school district as…yes…a Head Custodian. Actually, it’s the main reason that I became active on the podcast. I’m sure you could ask Kyle and he’d confirm it. Why am I mentioning this? We are fast approaching the end of the school year and my time has become something of a premium. Needless to say, the back end post production work kept getting pushed back further and further until I realized that …damn, we’re recording tomorrow and I need to get this done. Sigh… 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!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/hd-95-april-foolishness-1.mp3April Foolishness 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. Panel Members: Daehan Minhyuk Opus Magnum Ashterothi Random McNally House Hendoe Music this ep: Space Shanty by the Senate

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/hd-96-welcome-back-rubal.mp3Welcome Back Rubal 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.

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/hd-94-oh-captain-my-captain.mp3Oh Captain My Captain Hey High Drag Listeners! 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!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/hd-93-take-2-this-time-no-gremlins.mp3Take 2 This Time No Gremlins 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.

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/hd-92-back-in-my-day-a-noob-hope-revisited.mp3Back In My Day-A Noob Hope Revisited 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!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/HD-91-Holiday-Rage.mp3 Holiday Rage 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!!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/hd-90-happy-birthday-to-us.mp3Happy Birthday To UsHey There High Drag Listeners!! 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!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/hd-89-misrepresenting-bloody-omir.mp3Misrepresenting Bloody Omir Hey High Drag listeners! Episode 89 starts with the idea of finishing up the Eve Vegas 2018 coverage but the only thing we really had left to talk about, was the teaser for the story from last ep. So… we continue with discussion of the Crimson Harvest event. This event, last year, was dedicated to Bloody Omir, the leader of the Blood Raiders and his ritual of harvesting the blood of man. However, this year’s harvest had little to do with blood. Crimson ….what? We talk Onslaught, the expansion coming up this week but also discovered that a LOT of it was covered. Save for the few odds and ends bits we didn’t cover from the Vegas…..damnit, I give up!! Now we’re back at square one! Random, Ash and Min discuss the Harvest event, Onslaught and whatever other squirrel ideas pop in. Hope you enjoy!!

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/hd-88-mostly-vegas-2018-recap.mp3Mostly Vegas 2018 Recap Hey High Drag listeners!! Welcome to the 2018 Vegas Recap where we try to stay coloring within the lines but like good Kindergarteners, we just cannot quite do it. We recorded this fresh after the Eve Vegas event but Real Freakin’ Life put some whoop ass on me and kept me from my editing duties. So…while we weren’t the first to get content out, we are, of course, the best. *cough* In this episode we strain to keep things to two hours and talk about the coolish things we saw and heard for the upcoming year of Eve. We didn’t hit on it all. No surprise there. Tonight’s talking heads featured Random and Ash, new host Daehan Minhyok, and we are joined by Greygal with a cobbled together pirate transmitting signal. Hope you enjoy!! Panel Members: Random McNally Ashterothi Daehan Minhyok Greygal Music this ep: Eve Shanty by ChrisWatsonAU

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/hd-86-eve-is-dying-amirite.mp3EVE Is Dying Amirite Hey High Drag Listeners!! We’re back with a long awaited episode 86! We’ve actually starting farming for some help in the bullpen to keep these podcasts running even when (yours truly) isn’t available to be on. With that in mind, we’ve brought OpusMagnum into the fold and together with Ash, Kyle and myself, discuss some of the interesting newest bestest things that have been announced by CCP over the past couple weeks. Drone Swarm, the October Balance Pass and the modification of the harassment policy are just a couple of things we settle into for this episode! Yep, EVE is dying. Long live EVE!! Man, it feels good to be doing this again!! Panel Members: Random McNally Kyle Yanowski Ashterothi OpusMagnum Music this Ep: Come and Get It by Badfinger

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/hd-85-hero-logistics.mp3Hero Logistics Heya High Drag Listeners!! Wow, not sure what was going on with my voice, but I was stoked when this recording took place. Coming off the first weekend of the Alliance Tournament and taking part in the A Band Apart team’s first two wins was amazing! Don’t take just MY word for it, even the announcers were happy with our performance! I had to do an episode with, what was undeniably, the heroes of the ABA run on Sunday. Our Logistics pilots! Watson couldn’t make it but Leonard sat down with Ash, myself and guests Dirk MacGirk and Rixx Javix to discuss the (supposed) war and more importantly, AT. No Yin of Fin this time so no ship fit for ya, but we did get some great conversation! Hope you enjoy.

https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/06/hd-84-the-prodigal-son-returns.mp3 The Prodigal Son Returns Heya High Drag Listeners! Well, despite floods and broken hearts and scheduling, we managed to bring the boys in to record an episode that was way too long in the making. I wont spoil the episode but the CCP layoffs after Vegas 2017 unsettled me greatly to the point where I had to consider whether I wanted to continue playing. Bring on January 2018 and my house gets flooded, sending me into hotel exile for 3 months. During which, I didn’t have enough wifi to play. Now, I’m recovering from knee surgery back at home and I turn to my “mistress”, Eve. A lot of this episode’s content is, quite honestly, old news. But it’s been on my mind since Vegas and I felt I really needed to get it off my chest. Ashterothi, Fintarue and The Judge join me for a walk down the layoffs and how they effected us. We also talk some positive with the Abyssal sites and how those bite sized bits of content could be just what the game needs. Felt good being able to do this. Hope you enjoy!!

Springtime is here, and with the new season comes a new server wide event: “The Hunt”. This event has something for everyone in the game, except miners (sorry), but everyone else can have fun in one way or another, hunting the Guristas. https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/hd-83-the-hunt_mixdown.mp3 download In this episode, We go down “The Hunt” rabbit hole (yeah, that pun!) and discuss : The Hunt Event rewards The tragic injustice of resource wars The ruthlessness of the game   Ou Panel for the episode: Kyle Yanowski Ashterothi Fintarue Music in the Episode: “Due West” by The Real Mckenzies Next Episode: PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER!

Murphy put a kibosh on our Panel’s plans to record on Friday – So in true military fashion, I called the more local cavalry over to my house to have a few drinks. One thing led to another, and before we knew it, I was telling (and recording) the history of how The High Drag Podcast came to be. This is an unconventional episode – as our normal format was thrown right outside of the window. Based on the reaction to this show – if that reaction is positive – we’ll either do a spinoff podcast or add “Drunk Eve History” as a segment to High Drag. If you’ve read this far – good on you – and you still don’t know what we are trying to do – go here. https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/03/hd-82-drunk-eve-history_mixdown.mp3 download In this episode, we discuss: How High Drag Came to Be Red vs. Blue Aideron Robotics The ruthlessness of the game   Ou Panel for the episode: Kyle Yanowski “Bunny” aka Eric Lowry Music in the Episode: The Drunk History Theme Song

We seem to be back on the road toward consistency by bringing you episode 81 of the High Drag Eve Online Podcast! In the previous episode, we discussed new players coming into the game, and old players returning. In both cases, we end up having to learn a whole new game – which is why we are breaking this episode into 3 segments. Enjoy! https://highdrag.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/high-drag-81.mp3 download In This Episode, we discuss: Highsec Meta Lowsec Meta Guardians Gala Various bits of Lore Our Panel for this episode: Kyle Yanowski Ashterothi Pockets Music in this Episode: “Changes” (again) by Charles Bradley
