War Machine

You're sitting on 2,000 horsepower of Nitro-boosted war machine

The original Mad Max from 1979 is one of those movies that's so bad, it's hilarious.  The movie is literally just a gang of privatized cops chasing down a psychopathic motorcycle gang, which turns personal when Max's family gets involved.  I suppose the best thing that comes out of it is setting the scene of pre-apocalyptic earth, and how Max comes to live a nomadic life.

Mad Max 2: Road Warrior (simply called Road Warrior in the U.S.) is awesome.  The world's gone to shit after world wars over fossil fuels, leaving gangs of people fighting over resources and gasoline.  Max comes across a settlement with an oil drill and refinery being harassed by a raider gang.  Their mission is to move a tanker of gasoline to a coastal paradise.  It introduces a lot of things you'll see in Fury Road, like the sawed off shotgun, Max's muscle car, raiders strapping hostages to the front of their cars, and driving a tanker war rig.

Mad Max: Beyond ThunderDome is the third in the series and explores more of the settlements and residents of this post-apocalyptic wasteland and Max's nomadic travels.  If you've ever heard of the term ThunderDome to describe a 1v1 deathmatch, this is where it's from. "Two men enter, one man leaves"

As for the latest, Mad Max: Fury Road, go see it in theaters.  That Avengers movie is shit, see this one instead. 10/10

Last night we had a C3--Frigate hole C1 in our chain that proved to be active.  We fleeted up with ~5 Assault Frigs and SB's and tried to break a Talos/Exeq/Augorer trio that was controlling their B274.  We couldn't break the tank as expected but it was fun to fuck with them anyway.  The rest of the chain was quiet aside from a 5-day old Imicus that we killed.  So I got some logistics done in preparation for my hiatus---

Smitty's going to be taking a break from EVE for a couple months starting the next day or two. Uncle Sam's given me a nice chunk of leave as a reward for my 4 years at the Academy.  And it's a pretty good time for me to take a step back.  There's been a lot of clashing personalities, shitposting, lack of communication, and drama going on, which I'm allergic to.  Doctor-diagnosed and everything.  It's a hard life being allergic to drama and retards.  I've moved my non-essential isky assets out of J-space and set my queues for a long-haul.

Hopefully I'll be able to settle back into EVE with an actual internet connection (not phone tethering) and maybe even a new gaming rig.  My big white beauty, David (named after the Prometheus AI), is past 3 years old.  Still running on an Ivy Bridge i5 and GTX 670.  Gonna have to upgrade for all these great games out like Witcher 3, GTA V, and a game I especially like called "Running multiple EVE clients".  I've been doing some research into building a high end small form-factor PC.
