Projectile Playlist Part I

In response to this excellent post by Suleiman Shouaa, in which he offers up his playlist for his pvp habits, I hereby give to you my Projectile Playlist.

System Of A Down - ATWA I like to listen to this when stalking an unsuspecting pilot in the belts, usually I like to time the slamming of projectile fire against my prey about the 45 seconds mark.

Throw Away Your Television - Red Hot Chili Peppers The funky bass licks accompany an impromptu roam perfectly, bobbing around system after system hunting for quarry in typical Minmatar fashion.

Vampire Weekend - White Sky This is usually played when I'm in a relaxed mood. Maybe I've just made a kill and I'm scooping loot or heading back to base after a long roam. A great tune to unwind to.

Sigur Rós - Inní mér syngur vitleysyngur Love to pvp to this. Within me a madman sings. Appropriate to my fly style.

Bloc Party - Blue Light (Engineers Anti-Gravity Remix) This is a perfect tune to have on whilst on a long roam.

She Wants Revenge - Tear You Apart This usually gets played during Rifter duels, the title usually what I want to do to my enemy. Cool video too.

That's it for now. Watch out for part II sometime in the future.

SPYMASTER

Too much to do ... Not enough time to do it all in !!

Been running around a lot, with always something next on the list to run too, in the last week and well ... The last few days have been very productive !! London is great but I really have to remember not to overbook my traveling schedules like this ! Specially in this town ... So much going on, so much to go and see !! I miss big cities so much !



So yeah ! Busy busy ... My Super secret covert spy schedule has been, on the other hand not too stressful since I've been down here in Londontown and that's allowed me to do much more other awesome stuff ! Homie home delivery tattooing, Art-geek drawing parties, lots of analog picture taking (no really a lot), not enough hanging out with homies but still a bit and well ... Work related or not, if there's one thing us super covert spy men of shadows and mystery like to do, that's to go and check out what's new out there ... What's the latest gadgets and new spy related devices to come out and make our dangerous lives easier ... Or just way more awesome ! And being in London and all ... Paying a visit to the good people at the world famous SPYMASTER shop is simply an absolute must !

It is of course, understandably not permitted to take pictures inside this little shrine but here's a quick outside shot so you know what it looks like (above)... Next time you're in London and in need of 360 HD camera glasses, CB and cellphone wave jammers/interceptors/recorders , GPS tracking magnetized coin sized devices that send you a signal of their location (within 1 meter anywhere on Earth) directly on any mobile device or even just shark repellant spray pens ... You'll know where to go !

Good times !


>>>> Also in the news of the last few days ....

Mix master Craig aka Tiger heart aaka the African Gweilo, was lucky enough to win a home delivery session yesterday !!
This is how far we managed to get after hours of non stop/no break tattooing (never get tattooed by me while there's a documentary about zombies on TV !!!) ... Not the best pictures (half healed/half fresh deal) but it's been a while since you've seen this one and it's starting to come together >>>>>



Awesome !!! Pipe heaven !





More news shortly as the train I happen to be sitting in is about to get to where I appear to be going ! Fact !

In the spirit of the season.

Memorial Day Demo 99/00

The one and only, much sought after demo by Philadelphia/New Jersey's Memorial Day. Featuring Steve Crudello (guitarist of TURNING POINT ) , Brandon Wallace (played drums in every hardcore band ever from Philadelphia) and most importantly Skip Candelori, the vocalist from the almighty TURNING POINT. This is the last recorded project featuring Skip before his untimely passing in 2004.

This demo means alot to me, because it really shows that Memorial Day would have been a pivotal band if they had the chance to exist past this demo. I always search for the words to describe what Turning Point/The short-lived Godspeed / and Shorter- Lived Memorial Day mean to me, and always fall short. In my opinion, Memorial Day would have further left their mark in a genre that Turning Point helped pioneer.

So enjoy this piece of New Jersey history. Sadly, never released and largely unknown to even Turning Point fans...this Memorial Day demo means alot to the few that know of it, and hopefully this demo can reach some people who have not yet heard it, or have been searching for it. Enjoy, and always remember the legacy Skip left behind to largely help create melodic hardcore punk as we know it.

SUBURBAN SCUM - Internal War(2010)

http://www.mediafire.com/?cmhekyzaj4y

Excellent young band from NJ. Definitely don't wanna skip over this one. A real gem that stands out of the vast and repetitive genre of modern hc.

Efficiency? What efficiency?

Looking over my killboard statistics it has dawned on me that at the beginning of my headlong fall into piracy that I am not really very efficient. I'm currently hovering around the 60% mark. I don't know if this would be termed as bad or average for a pilot my age? What I do know is that losing assault ships doesn't do your efficiency any good. I can't seem to stay away from the Jaguar hull though, it really does rock in the right engagement and is a ship I consider great fun to fly, even when losing in one you get the sense of a fun duel.

So, what's the plan now? Well, I'm just going to carry on as I am, maybe ensure I hop into the Rifter after every 'expensive' loss. I'm not going to fuss over it, I'm sure over time it will iron out and become more of a respectable rating but that's for another day and somebody else to worry about. I would however be keen to hear from other pilots on what they think about efficiency ratings and if they can remember what their experiences were of being 'efficient' in the early stages of their dark careers.

Now, ready me my Jaguar!!

Children of the Corn- Children of the Corn "Deluxe Edition"

Big L, Cam'ron, Bloodshed, Murda Mase, Lord Finesse, and more.
Horror rap before it got corny as shit.
Pretty much before rap in general got corny as shit.
Cam's flow is way different, you get to see the true talent and potential Mase once had, and its a good collection of lesser known Big L and Bloodshed material before their tragic deaths, thus ending this supergroup's momentum (and further mixtapes).

Hail of Bullets - Of Frost And War

Newest release from Asphyx side project Hail of Bullets. Martin Van Drunen still remains one of the best death metal vocalist 20 years into the game. A perfect blend of Asphyx brutality and Bolt Thrower leads. While they aren't doing anything 'new', this album is devastating and is one of the best of the year so far.

GET IT OR DIE

Londontown

All is good in the English Kingdom's capital tonight!!


Been on the move quite a lot lately and it's nice to be able to put my bags down for a few days and check out the town . This town has a hell of a lot of stuff to check out too . My list of musts will have to be halved if I want it to be realistic at all . And I also do have quite a lot of work related stuffs to do while around here as well . Let's see what I can manage ...


First pub to hit !!

Thanks for your patience (that's for the patient ones, not the newbies who send the same e-mail everyday until I answer them !!!!! Hell of a way to try to squeeze yourself into a closed waiting list !!!!) Sorry ... Had to vent that !

-My spy schedule while I'm on this super covert mission , does allow me extra time which I have (a long time ago) already booked up with too much stuff !! But basically , you can expect some sweet illustration work and yes , a bit of Tattoo action as well , in the days to come !! True story .

-And finally ... Was too busy being stuck in horrible internet land to go on and on about this awesome event but apparently the Hope gallery's "Peep show" art show opening was a success and my 4 pieces made it (Almost intact) just in time (barely) ! If you happen to have made it to the opening > Awesome !! If not however , the show's still running for a bit longer !! Go check it out !!

Whiskey Eyes

The subtle red light above my head bounced off the wall across from me and dimly cast its warm glow on the mirrored wall opposite my bunk. The digital room timer read 05:14. Next to me lay an empty bottle of Thukker Fire whiskey that I had claimed from a recent trip into the Great Wildlands. The glass glistened ruby under the light. The room was filled with cold air, the sweat stained clothes on my back clung to my skin in an uncomfortable fashion.

I shut my eyes again to block out the thumping in my head. My implants twitched and I felt the need for a re-tune.


09:36


I woke with a jolt. The red night light in the room was now the working hours bright yellow issue and my eyes hurt. I fumbled around for my shades and out of sheer luck I managed to grab hold. I put them on and managed to pull myself from my slumber. My body ached and I muttered to myself no more liquor, for a few days at least.


The hangar was empty. I readied my Rifter and made my way over to pod immersion. As I walked past the huge window of the hangar I noticed nothing but emptiness out in the space lanes. In front of me lay days of border patrols and hunting. It was now time to pillage and burn, murder and lock horns with the Elite and also the unsuspecting kind.

As I exited the station I jammed open the warp drive and bolted into the distance.

Jump Freighter Diverted (Holiday Cancellation)

As the title suggests . . . . . The planned base in null-sec has been postponed and the ships and equipment diverted to a low-sec system for future operations.

Apologies to the many gangs who would have benefited from ganking my little Rifter hulls with their mighty fleets.

The 0.0 Experiment

I had received news from my agent in Jita that all the modules, equipment, ammunition, food, drink, drugs (combat, as well as recreational, ahem) and ships were all loaded into the jump freighter and ready for the instructed destination. I started to get an uneasy feeling in the bottom of my stomach, swirling around like an unwanted intestinal invader.

Destination - Syndicate region.


"A den of thieves, scoundrels, bandits, black market dealers, gamblers, pimps and prostitutes. All in all, a nice place for a holiday"

- Unnamed Gallente Senator


Sounds just like my kind of place. The plan was simple and daunting at the same time. I had planned to jump-freight 34 ships into null security space under the cover of darkness and stealth.This was going to be a holiday of sorts, a step into the void that is null-sec or 0.0, whatever you prefer, it can be and will be a daunting arena for the rookie combat pilot. I plan to use the vacation to sharpen my teeth, so to speak.

The 34 ships I have decided to take are as follows. 25 Rifters, 5 Jaguars, 2 Wolfs and 2 Republic Fleet Firetails. I have 5 different fits ready to roll for the Rifters and the others are pretty much standard issue. I fully expect each and every ship to die in some kind of grizzly, explosive fireworks cocktail.

The system I plan to base out of has been chosen as a staging post for raids into Cloud Ring, Outer Ring, Fountain, Great Wildlands and beyond as well as roaming around Syndicate. I am not taking any expensive implants out with me as I do fully expect to see a lot of medical bays over the coming weeks and hopefully months depending on my survivability rate.

Speaking of survivability . . . What are the chances of success on this holiday?

Very slim to poor. To be honest my hopes and expectations fall on me roaming around like some kind of anti-hero picking off lone ratters in poorly equipped ships, loitering on gates waiting for industrials to rumble past and fun duels with other like-minded pilots. In reality what I can probably expect is lots of gangs and bubbles, blobs and chest beating. I find that the majority of 0.0 dwellers tend to have a fear of flying without some mates along side them to hold their hands.

I will be documenting my travels in this journal, each and every exploding spaceship will be recorded here, I hope to have you, my reader, along for the ride. Even if it is going to be quite a bumpy one.

I hope I'm the anti-hero during this experiment.

Wensley's Wasted Wednesday (Death In Their Garden)

I recently participated in a roam with a few friends of mine and it was nice to be in good company again. Sadly it was a roam which ended in the demise of our fleet. Still, you can't complain. We turned up in somebody's back garden, attempted to kick mud in their faces, scampered away over the fence and then went back for more when they were no doubt ready for us!

You can read about the roam here.

I logged back in today and made best speed for the quickest route out of null. Unfortunately I met a sticky end after being tackled by a Malediction and Dramiel. I got my pod away but then jumped into a nasty looking camp only a few jumps later. Game over.

I love these roams though and thoroughly enjoyed my evening and subsequent death the day after. New clone and teeth please.
