  1. Love this anime, was on the list of which character I would get tattooed

    (couldn't find any good designs on the internet at the time, hey it was 1998)

     

    ....still wouldn't mind obtaining an A-ko figure, but this was before merchandising an anime was at the level it is now, let alone the western market being as 'obtainable' as it is today

    I really hope that not true, because nothing is sadder than dying from something that is preventable!

    I cannot consider someone dying because of him/her exercising their freedom of choice/right to bodily autonomy to be sad

    I wouldn't consider it a smart thing, but who am I to judge? I smoke, ride a motorcycle and have not been vaccinated

     

  3. Alas, no more Meat

    The first tape I ever played as a little boy, and I played it until the pitch dropped noticeably from the tape stretching

    But my good sir, then you haven't paid enough attention to Mr. Steinman's story

    I think it's a lack in creativity that they didn't use more different poses for them

    Spirit-of-the-contract is not letter-of-the-contract. Let me use a more appropriate saying: "If it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage".

     

    Even if there is a "spirit", that was simply exorcised by Covid

    "Yes we would have liked to have stayed in the spirit of our normal business Your Honor,... but as we -including Ms. Johannson- know, a certain case of force majeure called Covid-19 has made that impossible"

  6. So this looks like a bad version of Ratatouille or Tin Tin, where the budget ran out for most of the CGI

    On a more serious note they messed up Tom's scream and that is unforgivable.

     

    Take it easy on them, they didn't have a lot of sourcematerial

     

    ....oh wait:

    You running brushless on that rig?  I have my original Kyosho Optima Mid that I bought in 1989 and I'm contemplating brushless, but I'm worried about grenading the original drivetrain...

    Nah, stock 540 on each axle

    I never did dig deep in what was possible (gathering info on a rebuild opened up a plethora of aftermarket mods and adds) and brushless wasn't a thing back then, let alone Lipo batteries

    I also do not see any benefit on MORE power, IMO it looks cartoonish to have an RC monster truck go a 'scaled' 100 mph

    As for your Optima, I wouldn't know, but if it's a poplular model like my Clod, I wouldn't be surprised to find a treasure trove of aftermarket modders out there

    Thats a great set up, are those virpil? I couldnt afford them so I only got a cheap X56 setup

     

    I had the Saitek X-55, Same stick, and though I loved the ergonomics, i found myself fixing broken wires after a little more than 100 hours use

    Hope Logitech put some work in it after acquiring Madcatz/Saitek (I know the first "Blue" X-56's were recolored X-55 Rhinos and still had terrible QC)

     

    I play Cliffs of Dover and Elite Dangerous (used to 'play' SC, but got tired of that ongoing disaster), now running Oculus Rift, Virpil MT50 Mongoost T50cm Stick and T50 Throttle (v.1),

    Saitek Combat Rudders with 2x Thrustmaster MFD Cougar (Won't be running out of buttons soon :D)

  8. Talking about RC models

     

    I have an old Clod Buster on my shelf (Post Chevy/Pre 4x4x4 logo-ed grill)

    Did some mods to it, like adapting the chassis to hold 3 batteries (1 for each motor/esc) 1 for powering the lights

    making rear lights in the chassis, putting beams on the roll bar

     

    Nowadays I'm contemplating on 'improving' the Clod

    Basically a 'different' Juggernaut

    Clod Shell, wheels and suspension on Bruiser/Hi lift/CR-01 chassis/powertransfer, dual servo steering

    I used to laugh at posts like these -- like, how would you ever hide that monstrosity from your fiancé?  -- but having preordered the Spiral Studios King Ghidorah, I now find myself in the same position.  :unsure:

     

    I'm gonna have to tell my wife it's a futures investment in... the speculative aftermarket value... or something.  :unknw:

     

    "But honey, that is a reaaaaaally small asian girl standing next to it, like 65% smaller than normal and you know how small they are normally" :D

  10. Been playing guitar for longer than I've been collecting anime figures, haven't improved much over the years, for several reasons

    Collecting anime figures is on a very, VERY low priority, having no place to showcase them is one of the reasons, the other is cost in combination with real life and my most expensive hobby:
