Self-control and wisdom are good things, right? Sure, they are. You just have to remember to use them, that’s all. And if you don’t, well then, greed and stupidity are right there to serve quite admirably and illustrate why self-control and wisdom are so valuable. Which brings us to yours truly and EVE Online, naturally. In looking around for ways to make a living, I found courier contracts rather interesting. You take some stuff somewhere for someone….
