Sharing my cosplay of the best Mad Max game character :D Took me almost two years to make. No wastelanders were harmed while making the costume. Most parts are made of latex and leather.
Do you know how much I love watching nuclear weapon explosions in Civilization VI? Both the explosion itself and the mushroom cloud look incredibly beautiful and powerful. That’s why I decided to compare clips of atomic bombs from the game with real-life nuclear explosions, and let you decide how similar they really are.
Sadly i can't find good video of thermonuclear test , so its only just atomic bomb
this cilp was Hardtack Nutmeg-2 it was an atomic test explosion as part of the Hardtack series in 1958. Nutmeg was an LLNL shot detonated on May 21, 1958 on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Nutmeg's yield was 25 kilotons.
there are 2 cilp in this video , just watch the whole

Can anyone explain what happened at the end? I realize Johnny the Boy sabotaged Goose's KZ1000, but what did he do? It looks like he did something that would force the rear brake to clamp shut, causing the rear tire to lock up and send Goose into the weeds; but I'm rather baffled as to what Johnny could have done to cause that to happen then and there...
Posting my action figure in honor of his passing today.
Posted on his Facebook today:
"GREETINGS FROM THE FAMILY OF HUMUNGUS, THE LORD HUMUNGUS"
As many of you know, Kjell had been battling end-stage kidney disease for the past four and a half years, receiving dialysis three days a week.
It was a long and painful journey, filled with countless battles to overcome, including the gradual loss of his bodily autonomy.
This past Sunday, after much consideration, Kjell made the decision to take back control over his pain and his body by stopping dialysis.
On Thursday, Torsdag (Thor’s Day), July 2, Kjell passed away peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his sons.
The days leading up to his passing were filled with joy, gratitude, peace, and acceptance. He did it his way.
Back in 2022, many medical professionals told Kjell that he would never make it to his first Christmas after kidney failure. He proved them wrong. He celebrated four more Christmases, giving him four precious extra years with the people he loved most.
Unfortunately, a kidney transplant was never an option. Forty years ago, severe blood clotting in his legs left him without the major arteries needed for adequate blood flow. Over the course of five major operations spanning 45 hours, doctors gave him an ultimatum: become a double amputee, or keep his legs knowing they would have compromised function and severe cramping for the rest of his life.
Against medical advice, Kjell chose to keep his legs.
Through relentless weight training, determination, and sheer force of will, he forced blood through the remaining network of tiny capillaries, achieving what many believed to be impossible. He proved the experts wrong until he was strong enough to "JUST WALK AWAY"
Even in his final days, many doctors could not fully explain how he had done it. Some referred to him as a walking miracle.
But it wasn’t a miracle.
It was unrelenting determination, self-belief, and extraordinary willpower.
That mindset didn’t just overcome the impossible, it gave Kjell more than four decades of life that he might otherwise never have had. More importantly, it gave him the chance to continue raising his five sons, whom he loved beyond words, and who loved him just as deeply.
In his final days, Kjell spoke often of how grateful he was for his bodybuilding and coaching career, for the life he built between the two countries he called home, Sweden and Australia, and for the opportunity to inspire and connect with people around the world through his iconic role as The Lord Humungus.
That legacy will never die.
“BE STILL, MY DOGS OF WAR… WE HAVE ALL LOST SOMEONE WE HAVE LOVED… BUT WE DO IT MY WAY. WE DO IT MY WAY.”
Kjell lived a colourful life on his own terms, with unwavering conviction, an adventurous heart, and a spirit that refused to surrender.
To all of his friends, fans, clients, and family: thank you. You made his life richer and fuller than you could ever know.
A ceremony will be held to honour his memory. The time, date, and location will be announced in due course.
With love and gratitude,
The Nilsson Family

Hey, wastlanders! We've all seen the storyboard file available on the internet now, but it has some significant damage to it. For example, some of the images are blurry or distorted. Also, pages 100-300 are the same as 301-500. It also seems incomplete.
I found this:
Mad Max - Fury Road (2015) (Kennedy _ Miller) [c. 2002] [Storyboard Scriptment - Part #3] [Scan]
It looks to be page 201-300. It also has less corrupted pictures. Does anyone know where to find the other parts of this scan? Help out a history man with this word-burger.
Here's straydogontheroad little mini-fanfic scenario of this:
Kenshiro is basically unstoppable but he still needs stuff like food and water to survive, even though he can go far longer than anyone else without it due to his insane physiology. Say there's a village on the verge of collapse, rationing their food and water, and raiders led by an insane warlord are holding the food supply hostage. Max plans to steal back a truck full of food, water, and medicine, but their leader is rumored to be an unkillable monster who doesn't feel pain. Enter, Kenshiro; he has also heard of the mad warlord, having traveled though several more starving villages. They didn't have enough food or water to spare, and he wouldn't be willing to take from them in their condition even if they did. Now, he is reduced to the very cusp of his strength. He meets Max and the two of them concoct a plan:
To get the food to the people, they need to put a stop to the raiders. They conspire to enrage them and lure them into a valley, where Kenshiro will trap them with boulders. The two of them hijack a convoy bringing tribute to the warlord and lead a mad chase with a group of frenzied raiders with guns and explosives, Max using all his skill and determination to outmaneuver them, and everything is going according to plan until the warlord himself shows up. The boulders destroy a bunch of cars, killing the raiders Max didn't manage to take, but then the warlord waves his hand and the boulder splits into fragments! The warlord must know a variant of the Nanto style! Kenshiro utilizes his true speed in a burst to race back to the convoy and leaps into the passenger seat.
Kenshiro explains the situation, and while they're talking Max realizes that Kenshiro has gone without food or water for too long. He insists that he take some of the cargo, but Ken refuses again, thinking of the villagers that would go without any. There's no time to argue, as they can't stop while the raiders follow, trying to shoot out their tires. A thump on the roof indicates the leader's arrival, and Kenshiro climbs up to face them.
Immediately recognizing the seven scars on his chest, the warlord is wary. He knows how strong Kenshiro is, and that he can kill with secret pressure points, but he becomes more confident as he realizes Ken's strength is beginning to flag due to exhaustion. He flings out his hands and strikes with energy and air pressure, and Kenshiro barely sways to avoid it, closing in to strike- but it didn't work! The Warlord's body has been mutated too far to be affected properly, and is also the cause of his and his followers insanity. Kenshiro engages in defensive combat, searching for a pressure point that will work-- his strikes lack their usual power, but he is fast and implacable. His opponent staggers back, but his attacks are those of a madman, empowered by martial arts, and Ken is caught off guard and wounded, taking a knee.
The warlord pauses, breathing as heavily as Kenshiro is, as both of them are sick as well as wounded, before preparing to slash Kenshiro's neck. Suddenly a gunshot rings out as Max appears, firing a shotgun directly into the warlord's side, sending him staggering back to the opposite end of the convoy. Kenshiro is surprised that Max is there, to which he cooly responds. "Cruise control." Max then forces his flask into Ken's hands along with a dried up lizard, demanding he eat quickly so they can finish this. The warlord is already on his feet, face twisted maliciously. The man clenches his muscles, replicating one of Kenshiro's feats-- sealing a wound with muscle pressure alone.
"You idiot! You think that would work on me? The man with seven scars couldn't kill me, compared to us you are nothing!"
"Don't compare yourself to me." Kenshiro's voice rumbles louder than the engine of the 18 wheeler. Standing to his feet, the last scrap of reptile jerky crushing between his teeth, his muscles swell.
Fists fly for the second time as they engage, the small scraps of sustenance enough to give him just enough strength to continue. Kenshiro fights more aggressively this time, trying many different types of attack yet as time passes the warlord laughs mockingly as Kenshiro's attacks seem to have little more effect than before. Suddenly however, a muscle in the warlords shoulder ruptures in a spray of blood.
"There are 708 hidden pressure points in the human body. Mutated or not, they're always there. You aren't the first with an unusual body, and It's only a matter of time before I find the other 707."
"So you found one of my vital points... So what... In your weakened state, you can't do anything-- Meanwhile, even losing one arm, I can't even feel anything from it! I've got nothing to lose, and everything to gain! And when the world finds out that the mighty Kenshiro fell at my hands, context wont matter-- On my gravestone, it'll say I'm the man that killed Kenshiro!"
"Villains need no tombstones. And I won't need to find the other vital points."
"What!?"
Blood sprays suddenly from the warlord's mouth and nose, choking him. "B-but, how? You only damaged my shoulder with that vital point!"
"When we exchanged blows, I picked the shotgun pellets from the wound in your side and placed them into a vital vein before your muscles could close seal it. Right now it's not my Hokuto Shinken that's killing you, it's an ordinary bullet."
Max looks on with slight bemusement as the villain slumps to side, falling off the convoy and landing with a splat on his personal car, the last of the raiders scattering.
"You're a scary man, Ken. Guess that makes it my credit for the kill," he quips, indicating his gun.
"It's all yours if you want it. Not much of a kill, he was already dead.
Sorry but I haven't seen ANY reviewer ever mention what this film is really about and they completely miss the point writing it off with:
"Why prequel about her, we know she's in Fury Road!"
"We don't need her backstory"
"It was too long and boring"
Look, I know media literacy is in the shitter, but this film literally explains right at the start what it's about, can't get any more clear than this:
"As the world falls around us, how must we brave its cruelties?".
It's about Furiosa's life being ruined and her resisting becoming a freak like Dementus. There. It's not about action, it's not about gigantic set pieces, it's about her life being ruined one chapter after another until she's confronted with the man who did it and her battle is not with him at that point. She could've crushed his head like a watermelon with that mechanical arm of hers. The battle is within herself to stay human and have her revenge at the same time.
Turning Dementus into a tortured plant that grows life (peach, symbol you know) and inspires the Wives to escape and overthrow a tyrant? That narrative is awesome, wonky CGI be damned. But you gotta see this stuff and stop treating this film like Fury Road 2.0. It's not meant to be that film.
