The Crimson Harvest Event Returns to EVE Online for Halloween

CCP doesn’t believe in being early for holidays, so the Crimson Harvest event kicked off today, just two days before before Halloween.  I think I’ve been trying (and failing) to get the Headless Horseman’s mount in WoW for over a week now.

Crimson Harvest 2020

Between now and downtime on November 10th, event sites will spawn around New Eden.  Finishing them will yield a variety of rewards including ISK, ship SKINs, fireworks, Crimson Harvest apparel, blueprints for a new Blood Raider modified Mobile Tractor Unit, powerful faction modules and implants, and limited-time Cerebral Accelerators.

In addition there will be a four player T1 frigate Abyssal Proving Ground event as well as the return of the improved loot drop mechanic for PvP.  Between now and downtime on November 10th 90% of modules will drop from ships blown up in PvP actions.

And there is also a sale on Omega time and some special SKINs in the New Eden Store.

Details are available via this news post.

Honest Trailers does Halloween

This past week, in celebration of the release of the sequel, Screen Junkies took a look at the original classic from 1978, Halloween.

I was too young to go see it when it came out, but I remember hearing about it.  And, of course, when VCRs and video rentals became a thing half a decade later, my roommate and I watch it along with most of the movies it fostered with its success.  So many of the tropes we associate with the genre started, or were solidified, with this movie.

And, if you really want to nerd out, there is the Honest Trailers Commentary where they talk about the film and making the Honest Trailer for it.
