Since he cannot post himself right now...

This is a short review to three videos that I consider as one big ball of awesomeness. I wish I had more time to do an depths review of these, and some other videos that I love and adore, but I am about to fly abroad very soon (for 6 months traveling) and I cant spare the moments right now. My Eve subscription is already finished- I can't post on these forums anymore, so I try to bring this review through a friend. Its too important of a thread to let die without some action, I think its a noble effort and it needs love. Fon Revedhort you're the man! I'll just say that if I had time I'd also review Kil2's "Seven", Wildcat's "Burning Eve" 4+5, and Prom's "Addiction", which are incredible videos that are forever in my personal Hall of Fame :-) So here's the short review I chose to focus on:

Willington's T1 Cruiser Madness

None of the videos contain gang links, boosters, special implants, special mods (no faction), or even rigs!

Good music, and very high video quality for 2008 when the first two were made, 1440x1080p.

The first of Willington's said videos was called "Two", a.k.a: "The Worse the Better", because he flies such cheap setups, and kills such expensive ones :-)

This video is something of an intro to his next two videos, which I consider far superior, and still, in 'Two', you see how magnificent a Celestis can be. Battling ships such as the Vagabond, Sleipnir, and in the final fight soloing against a Phobos and an Astarte in a phenomenal display of piloting!

Moving on to Willington's followup video, called "Two 3"

Video starts with a fight of Rupture + Thorax vs Myrmidon + Curse + Sacrilege, already incredible :-) I remember being shocked of how well this pilot manages his AB setups, knowing full well how much cap he has left while being neuted, knowing he has to hold point, knowing when to shut off AB for extra point time vs extra mobility, Willington pushes the very definition of T1 Cruisers to the limit.

Watching the videos, you're just amazed how pilots are quick to engage his Rupture/Vexor/Celestis thinking they're going to score an easy kill, and ending up trying to run for their dear hull lives.

The video moves on to Four Ruptures vs 3 Ravens, Cerebus, Huginn, Hurricane, Rapier and tons of small stuff... Only word for this is BALLS!

I have to point out, the music choice can sometimes become somewhat heavy, not everyone's cup of tea, but hey, fits the bill.

A sight that was frequent in those 0.0 days, seems to have been Willington in his Vexor, killing an Arazu, Ishtar, or various other blingy ships, then loots the field and warps off in structure, as this video proves time and time again... An even more frequent sight would be his Celestis killing Vagas and Rapiers as though they were ibises.

Which leads us to Willington's "Counting Bodies"

Already Eve graphics have jumped to the next level, and the video quality continues to be top notch 1600x1000p.

Have you ever seen a Rupture killing 4 Rapiers at the same time? Well you're about to :-) How about a Rupture vs Pilgrim and two Arazus, while engaging with 60% structure?

The videos, as a T1 cruiser series, are nothing short of an astounding landmark in Eve Solo. The piloting probably nears perfection in all aspects of game mechanics, and seeing such remarkable results make the viewer believe that he/she can do the same, and motivates one to do just that.

All hail the king of Ruptures, T1 Cruiser AB madman, The Vexor- Recon Assassin, Willington. My T1 Cruiser power inspiration! o7
