    I've never understood the fascination people seem to have with this franchise (or with Rockstar games in general). The first one doesn't seem that particularly ground-breaking or revolutionary, certainly not the way, say, GTA 3 was or RE4 was. It just seems like a Western-themed GTA, and this one doesn't seem any different. (That said, I was never a fan of sandbox games, anyway, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt I guess.) Oh well. Cheers to everyone hyped for this game.

    Oh, is that Kung Fu Hustle? Some other Chinese-only film of his? I know I've seen this movie before, but I don't think it was KFH... Anyway, it's certainly an apt comparison.

    Does anyone know what those "ring fins" attached to the boosters do, if anything? Ick. The more I see it the less I like it. It reminds me of the Full Armor Unicorn, where more and more is just slapdash cobbled together. I think I'd like it more if they did something as simple as move the missile pods on the boosters closer to where the boosters mount to the wing roots, and placed either on top of or on the inner sides of the boosters to give the Valk a more compact appearance. Ideally, the "Tornado" cannons would be excised entirely, freeing up space on the back for ordinance and allowing the "Stampede" chainguns to be the big gun upgrades.

    Okay. I've never thought much of Misa's design. But DAMN.

    I know, I didn't bother repeating this point because you made it pretty succinctly the first time around. I don't mean to imply that sexual violence is "more extreme" than torture, forced cannibalism, etc., if that's how it was taken.

    None on me, but perusing myfigurecollection got me these. Hope they're good enough for you. Volume 1 (Freyja, Mirage, Kaname) https://myfigurecollection.net/item/416003 https://myfigurecollection.net/item/416002 https://myfigurecollection.net/item/416001 Volume 2 (Mikumo, Reina, Makina) https://myfigurecollection.net/item/440652 https://myfigurecollection.net/item/440651 https://myfigurecollection.net/item/440650 And while searching for those, I came across this. It was canceled. FUUUUUUUU~~~ https://myfigurecollection.net/item/491141 the lewds: https://myfigurecollection.net/pictures.php?itemId=491141

    This is...? I'm guessing a recording of some concert?

    Besides what Seto already has to say... ...there's also the fact that the only ones with specifically sexual violence heaped upon them are the female characters. (I mean, given how much the show fetishizes everything else, it could be argued that EVERYONE gets sexual violence heaped upon them, but the point still stands.) The show/manga/novel seem to take extra pleasure in depicting what the female characters go through. The most explicit we ever get with Warrior dude is a close-up of a goblin taking his hand off. Contrast that against shots of the goblins visibly stripping the girls naked (convenient censoring aside), stabbing one in the uterus, multiple close-ups of the girls' horrified faces, and yes, the just-short-of-hentai-territory rape. Not to mention more and more scenes of violence specifically enacted upon women immediately following that (all cavalierly thrown in while framing the titular GS as Badass McHunter Guy).

    By the by, I dunno if I eventually followed up on this post, but neither are slated for release. They were put on display to measure interest in just such a thing. They would be re-issues of the old S/Ex-S Gundam kits, molded in these specific colors, and would include the relevant revised parts created for the Deep Striker (shoulders, etc.). I'm not sure if it would be an all-in-one kit that includes parts to build either of the two, or if Bandai would do like the originals and release each separately.

    From watching the first episode and reading up the summaries of the rest from everyone else here, the show seems to be coasting almost entirely on the extremity of its controversial content. The characters, the world, the story, all are remarkably generic, only deviating from formula when they need to prop up the titular Goblin Slayer himself. It's rather amateurish, like bad self-insert fanfiction. Here's this world where everybody is incompetent and/or clueless about the real threat except for ME, I know what's really going on, and only I have properly prepared myself to tackle it. The fact that no other characters get any interesting character development (based on everyone's summaries here), the derivative Dungeons and Dragons world, the unpleasant undercurrent of misogyny running through the entire thing... It's "I was studying the blade" levels of masturbatory fantasy. Even the GS's backstory is all sorts of edgelord-tier ridiculousness. It reminds me of the bosses from Metal Gear Solid 4, with their backstories handling the theme of wartime trauma with all the subtlety and grace of a cudgel smashing against a brick wall. And it's not like the OVAs you mention didn't have their share of the same problematic elements. The anime industry is chock full of Go Nagais and Kentaro Miuras who've created amazing works that are equally as... messy. What separates Goblin Slayer from something like, say, Berserk, is that Berserk is more than self-insert fanfiction. Or, as chyll2 puts it, GS is "fanservice dark" and not much more.

    Bringing back MvC memories. Nice.

    ...so... correct me if I'm wrong, but the one with Bruce Willis never came out, did it? Is this that? Is this a belated third (fourth?) entry in the movie franchise? Much agreed that Snake Eyes is easily, by a country mile, the most interesting part of the movies. Should've been all about him from the very beginning.

    The thumbnail just makes me think of the Kampfer and subsequently wish I was looking at that instead. EDIT: that said yeah that's a darn good job masking and painting

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Correct. Page 12, step 9-1. It might be you have to wiggle it around, work the slider for a bit as jenius says. For me, I didn't break it in very much, just pulled a bit harder than I thought necessary (and much more than I was comfortable doing).

    BANDAI DX YF-19!!

    kajnrig replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Did you ever get around to resolving the back rail issue and the black piece not snapping closed to hold the chest assembly together?
  17. kajnrig
    Now that you mention it, that feature is missing on the mobile version. But you can still get it by bracketing off the spoiler sections with [ spoiler ]write spoilers here[/ spoiler ] (just without the spaces).
  18. kajnrig
    Uggghhhhhhh some of these frakking characters, though. JUST TALK!!! is in full effect with like half of the main cast, and just as often they're also the ones afflicted with JUST LISTEN!!!. Things on that front start to finally resolve around episode 8, thank god.
  19. kajnrig
    So. The Haunting of Hill House. It's pretty frakking good. Especially at 2 in the morning with lights off and everyone else asleep. Someone here wanna escort me to the manly man ain't never scurred o anything men's room?
  20. kajnrig
    A macross plus, even. ...i refuse to feel shame.
  21. kajnrig
    Well... at least it won't be criticized for not catering to enough fetishes, I guess.
  22. kajnrig
    I'm guessing it's a generic robot figure, too. I've seen hundreds if not thousands just like this at community festivals over the decades. I've seen them patterned after Gundams, Power Rangers, Voltrons, with a slapdash color scheme and marketed as "Cyber Cop" or "Aeroplane Defender" or something equally generic. How does the plastic feel? If it feels cheap and the details aren't particularly crisp, it's probably something generic.

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Sure does. And the wings manage to still be out, too! ...looks a bit... bulbous, though, don't it? I'm getting the ol' Kairos ominous twitch again. Best of luck, everyone.

    kajnrig replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    What if you fold the wing over beneath the undercarriage? Or does one or both adapters hold it at a certain bend? I'd imagine at that point you could only pose it in flight, BUT JUST THINK OF ALL THE DAKKA

    Where do the Lil' Drakens and Super boosters mount? If the former mounts to the wings and the latter to the tail fins, perhaps you could put both on at the same time...?
