I think he was stuck paying ridiculous alimony to maintain his ex's high end lifestyle that he could no longer afford because he wasn't making NewsRadio money anymore. Dude's basically bankrupt at this point

You. I like you. Try shots of Kraken chased with rootbeer or Dr pepper.

Deadtear, if you get a chance try out an Audios Motherfucker. It's pretty boozy but my wife loves them and says they don't have a super strong alcohol taste.

Yep. The court in Canada (cuz you know, he's Canadian) said he had to pay alimony on par with his income at the time he was doing News Radio. Even though it had been off the air for like 2-3 years prior.

I made the mistake of drinking like half a bottle of Kraken and then trying to get up too fast once. I fell over because I was a lot more drunk than I though. :smith:

Yeah I'm normally a rum and coke person, but a bartender at a bar around here that I frequent (due to it being both a bar and an arcade) had me try it as a shot with a chaser once and it was quite tasty.

I like cheap garbage beer. Miller Lite is a good thing to drink, in my opinion, and it also helps me keep my girlish figure.

So I'm training up to get access to cruisers so I can do something a little more useful like Logi or what not. While I try to nail down what exactly I want to fly though I'm working on leveling up my support/fitting skills. Is there a good list somewhere of essential skills that will help no matter what I fly, or certain certificates I should aim for? I was just going to work my way through the stuff here, but is there anything important missing from that list? Anything in there I don't really need?

http://blog.beyondreality.se/Newbie-skill-plan-2 probably isn't a bad place to start. It's what I'm working off of for now, plus getting my scanning skills up to 3s. If you download the EVEMon skill plan at the bottom you'll need to tweak the racial ship skills and the guns skills to fit (if you fly Caldari or Gallente you want to train hybrids, Amarr = energy). The skill plan is built for Minmatar starters

I know this sounds totally crazy, but don't dis it until you make the leap of faith and try it. Pickleback? Shot of (decent, like bulleit) bourbon or rye, immediately followed by a shot of pickle juice. By some strange Magic the pickle juice completely, 100%, cancels out the booziness of the whiskey and your mouth is left almost completely neutral. Plus your shooting salt water, which is great for slowing down the hangover (if you're and old man like me and can't drink like the college days without pain). Weird, but awesome. My favorite shot to order when I'm with a girly drink crowd, cuz it's manly as hell, but goes down so easy.

Rumchata may possibly be the devil's jizz in a bottle. I do agree with you about Bulleit being decent for the price - I like their rye as well

I think the starter missions in newbie systems can work for grinding that stuff out too, but that might just be standings with the empire and not the relevant corporation. They do count as an epic arc though, so you can redo them every six months or whatever.

Ya, I've started the cosmos a couple of times and always stopped (usually because I had other income sources.) I don't know why I keep thinking PVE in EVE is different than PVE in any other game.

empire/faction standings are actually more important for burners/5s apparently?

something about requirements being corp OR faction standings and faction takes a much much smaller hit when rejecting missions, i could be wrong

Yeah you want faction standings at like 5-6 for burners and probably 8-9 for lvl 5s (though koshka would know better than i would). when you decline a mission your faction standings only decline by a little and you can continue to accept missions as long as your faction standings are high enough and your agent standings are above -2

That seems kind of odd. I haven't actually done burners or L5s before though, and actually haven't even run missions for a very long time, so I don't remember a whole lot about them anymore other than 'standings probably matter maybe'.
