Clear Skies

 I first learned about Clear Skies a few years after I started playing EVE Online and ended up watching it and really enjoyed it. A few years ago someone remastered them in 4K as best as it could be done as the original videos were already dated.

I had rewatched the 3 part series about 2 weeks ago and then TheMadRambo, an EVE Online Twitch streamer, decided to do a stream watching them as he had never watched Clear Skies before. So I stuck around and watched along with him and after finishing all 3 movies he stated he really enjoyed them as well.

As a brief on what Clear Skies is, it's a machinima using both the Source and EVE Online engines that follows the ship and crew of the Minmatar Tempest class battleship named Clear Skies with the crew being John Rourke, Solomon Burke and Charlie Fodder as the primary crew.

This is a great series for people to watch who have never seen it as well as those who haven't watched it in sometime.

Here are the links for the three different movies:

There is a Clear Skies 4 in the works and in 2020 the primary person behind the series stated that it would no longer be using the Source engine. I'm patiently waiting for the 4th movie to come out and it will be interesting to see the animation and art style direction being used.
