Apple sells refurbs. The headset hasn't even been out two weeks yet. Give it time.

I saved a bunch of these wonderful creations and sent them to my fiancé. I could just link her here, but...

I laughed way too long at this.

SciShow did a piece (partially) about this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEFQH5UXHQ

And Veritasium did a deeper dive a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA

The whole situation is thoroughly fucked up, but hey, as long as people are making money amirite? 😑

...damn. That was great.

Somewhat. It was nowhere to be found for quite awhile, and I figured it was lost to time. Then a few years ago my fiancé finally got into Nightwish so I did a search and there it was. Multiple versions are still up, so I'm hoping it stays that way.

I love Nightwish, and this is a great cover.

Many moons ago, I was in an IRC room when power metal came up. Someone started talking about Elvenpath, so I went and looked up the band. "Huh, this is pretty good." So the first three albums went into my rotation. Then a few years later I saw a music video someone put together using 10th Man Down and footage from 08th MS Team and was freakin floored.

Edit: just posted the video over in [email protected] if anyone is interested

Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it's been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.

Yeah, this shit happens all the time in NJ. Related to someone powerful? Here, have a free political position!

Andy Kim is getting my vote in the primary but with Murphy getting anointed like this, the full weight of the machine is going to be behind her.

The year is After Colony 195. With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of Justice and Peace.

I am now the pilot of a Leo.

I spent a good 10 minutes searching for a better picture than the production sketch. To the point where I'm wondering if my memory of the T floating by at the end of CCA is imagined. 😅

Edit: nope, not imagined. Thanks, low-res YT video!

I like your idea though! Sandwiching the MG Nu between the bunch of HG builds would be a good mix up

I... I mean, I thought that idea, but I didn't verbalize it.

looks around for a floating space magic T

Jesta is besta.

 
 

If you like your Zakus with a splash (or more) of blue, this might be hard on the ol' wallet.

  • RG Zaku II (Shin Matsunaga)
  • RG Zaku II (Uma Lightning)
  • RG Zaku II (Robert Gilliam)
  • MG Advanced GN-X
  • MG Advanced GN-X (Deborah)
  • MG GN-X III (A-Laws)
  • MG GM Cannon (North American)
  • MG Hyaku Shiki Kai
  • HGBF Turn A Syn

Three Zakus, three GN-Xs, three others. Perfectly balanced.

Not really a whole lot that grabbed my attention, aside from Bandai continuing on the self-pwn track with metaverse. Just a shitton of stuff for sale at mostly ridiculous prices.

So... I went the entire game without trying to shoot Zonai parts from a bow and arrow. So when I finally let myself look stuff up, I saw all sorts of crazy crap.

Today, I saw someone building a spring staircase to ascend. 🤯

 
 

So episode 1 was introducing the characters, with a disjointed cliffhanger post-credits. Episode 2 started off with a flashback, then "I'll tell you everything." And episode 3 is plot armor helps prove that gunpla is ~~freedom~~ friendship. That's it. The rest is fanservice cameos.

What a nothingburger. Even going in with low expectations didn't help. Feels like a waste of good designs.

 

So... Bandai included CAD files for unreleased gunpla in the early access version of their metaverse software. Someone has already printed the MG for the new Freedom kit. And even though it was patched out, the installer has now been pulled completely from Bandai's site.

Neat.

 

This is a 15 minute evisceration. My jaw dropped at the system requirements and my forehead is bruised from the facepalming. The entire thing reeks of a C-suite stuffed suit being Very Smart and jumping on trends that either never happened or flopped two years after the fact.

Also, the "shopping" just opens the P-Bandai site in a browser window. Linked in my previous post. 🤦‍♂️

Apparently these went live at 11pm ET last night, but you need to filter by Campaign > Gundam Next Future.

  • EG Grandpa Eggshell edition
  • EG Lau (Gundam Base limited blue version)
  • Zakupla-Kun
  • HG Aerial (Recirculation color)
  • MG Freedom (Real Type)
  • MG Justice (Real Type ver "bright blue is totally realistic")

Eggshell Grandpa has been around for a while. Lau is definitely new. I believe the rest are as well.

Edit: these are the exclusives from the "Metaverse" trial. The "shopping" section of the "metaverse" just opens this P-Bandai page.
