Who plays that POS game anyway... yeah I said it >.>
Anyway, got home after work today (weeeeeekend), picked up MK and decided to give the comps a go again (had stopped for about half a year).


This comp is actually a repeat from 2009, was pretty satisfying to see my time from then was much worse. Below was my old run:

SMASH!ing

Friday, July 22, 2011 CK 5 comments
This is late but SMASH! last week was pretty enjoyable (and made Animania look so bad...), though it was only afterwards that I heard some of you Anons were there as well. I went with some forum friends, and we were there for the ripoff merch, cosplay comp and the trivia. Trivia just had to be at the same time as their MK64 tournament <.<



Ignore the name, that was me >.>. Our team ended up 2nd and were given a Madman voucher. The winning team (who were a bunch of fat white gaijin) were 1 point ahead and went home with $200+ worth of DVDs (the voucher was $50) <.<.

I thought cosplay was great - even though some outfits caused eyes to bleed (namely anything involving fat people). It was nice to see a variety of outfits from some not so generic/common/mainstream anime/games. Those who go to Animania will have seen the hoards of Narutos and Ichigos that keep appearing every freaking year. But it was serious business for the high level cosplayers here. The contest was interesting enough for us to stay around for the full 2.5 hours.

One thing to keep in mind for next year is NOT to buy an advance ticket. We showed up at 8am on the dot and were greeted by a monstrous line, and ended up standing around for an hour. Also to bring a camera for stalking purposes...

Also will need to post about snow trip v4. 7 skiiers/boarders, 0 sick people... this was probably the best one yet. I will write more tomorrow after some rest, but check out some of the photos on FB.

Cold Hard Cash - literally.....

Its surprising how much coins on can save up from day to day purchases.
I started developing this habit when I was abandoned by my parents when they went overseas. I had to do all the groceries, pay bills, and cover all general living expenses. From all those transactions, I ended up with quite a lot of coins

From Misc

At first, most of the coins ended up going to charity, as I had no idea what to do with so many coins. But then I discovered that Commonwealth Bank had machines which counted and sorted out coins for you. Its a pretty nice device, and loads of fun when pouring the coins down the coin feed.

This particular collection was saved up for around half a year.

I call it, the tower of wealth. And for those who are too lazy to count, theres exactly $30 in this tower
From Misc

There was another $20 available, but I couldn't continue stacking, as the tower became too heavy and unstable.
So here's everything pilled up.

Trans AM ????

Sunday, July 3, 2011 KOALA 2 comments
Been bored for the past couple of days, and after watching Transformers 3, I was going through some files on my computer and stumbled across the installation for the Transformers 2 game.
I remember having problems with this installation with a previous operating system, but decided to give it a go anyway.
To my surprise, it actually worked this time.

Now if you readers are expecting a game review, then you may be disappointed (or not because you wont be missing out on anything). In short, this game sux. And the only reason why im even bothered to write something up about it is a odd feature i discovered in the game.

For the character Optimus Prime, his special ability is a cloak shield/power up mode.

From others

When this ability is activated, Optimus will turn blue.

In the last couple of missions, you get to use Optimus with Jet Fire parts.
From others

In this form, the powered up mode will turn red.
From others

But thats not all. When you engage in the Overdrive mode, you get a nice blue gn field surrounding you.
From others

Now turn on both abilities at the same time, and you get transam.....

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark VI unboxing

Wednesday, June 29, 2011 Onderon 1 comments
First off left me say how relieved I am to finally get my hands on this truly epic collectable. Why would I be relieved? Allow me to explain:

I ordered this figure off ebay on Monday and the seller promptly sent it via EMS on Tuesday and for those familiar with international post you would be safe to assume my package would arrive at my doorstep by Friday but this was only half true. My package did indeed arrive in Australia on Thursday but there was one final obstacle - fucking Auspost. I was tracking my package all morning until I saw the unthinkable, my package status was delivered and signed. At this point I was literally going slightly ape shit but the smart thing to do was to go ape shit over the phone with Auspost. I got shafted to this constipated sounding guy who says they aren't responsible for anything sent to the wrong address and blame the sender for putting the wrong address - how fucking wrong, the address was right but I saw no point in arguing with that irate pos so I said the customary fuck you and hung up and then rang them again this time a woman picked up and they were much more cooperative she even "went out of their way" to help me locate where my package went. 2 quick mins later she realised that when it arrived at their sorting depot they inputted 2000 as the postcode and as we all know that's the fricken CBD. She assured me the fail courier would eventually realise no such address existed out there and send it back to the depot.

Fast forward to today 28/06/2011, 4 days after the expected delivery date, I was up early and camped my front door for the courier to arrive and if you guessed that they didn't show up you're right. Instead a postie zipped by on his bike to shove a "no one at home" card into my mail box without ringing my fucking doorbell. So I ran out there and confronted him asking where was my package and why the fuck would they give me that card if they don't even bother knocking on the door first. I quote "the package is at the post office you can go pick it up after 4". WTF!!! Am I paying them to do nothing? Your job is to deliver things to people and get there signature but instead we have a bunch of morons more worried about getting off work early. Mind you the more deliveries they go through the more they get paid and sticking a card into a mailbox means the same thing to them.

To summaries that wall of text? Auspost sucks. Auspost's courier contractor sucks donkey balls. The postie who works in my area - trying to remove his head out of his arse.

Now finally onto the unboxing =)

Came in a brown nondescript box which I threw away ASAP and inside was a nice layer of fun wrap

Followed by a layer of the stuff you find inside shoe boxes
From Random

Reason for that is because the outter slip cover is a shiny foil surface and believe me when I say that there are people out there who are willing to buy the box

The figure is still very stiff but I'll spend some time fiddling around with it and then prolly throw up some more pics later.

Continuing with Black.....

Sunday, June 26, 2011 KOALA 3 comments
On the topic of black, came across this when I was walking to the station the other day.
From Misc
Don't know if you'd call it art or not, but I have trouble understanding whether its a picture of a black guy or white guy.

What made me even more confused was the line engraved in at the bottom. "Shock the monkey"

Heres what urban dictionary has to say about this line...

1. shock the monkey

verb, when a person (usually a law enforcement officer) uses an electronic form of non lethal force (usually a Tazer) on an African American, to subdue him or her during an arrest.

That nigger must have been high on crack; he kept fighting off the cops, so they had no choice but to shock the monkey!


2. shock the monkey

When a vibrator short circuits in an extremely hairy vagina, thus literally shocking the monkey. This is actually the inspiration behind the song shock the monkey as Peter Gabriel is an avid fan of this move.

Matt: Yo how was you're date with that chick?
Johnny: You know we were just makin out and shit then she asked me to go into the shower and shock the monkey, my bathroom still smells like burnt hair


3. shock the monkey

To Milk the prostate, utilizing a finger inserted into the rectum and the prostate physically manipulated to produce a more intense than normal ejaculation

He let his girlfriend shock the monkey last night. What a mess!

4. shock the monkey

When a redneck pees on a spark plug

Hey Billy Bob d'you hear bout Billy Joe. He done shock the monkey an nearly kill'd he'self

5. shock the monkey

(verb)
the same as shake the monkey but much much harder

Seriously girl, you really gotta shock the monkey before it drags you back to the German jungle.


6. shock the monkey

To have sex with an extremely ugly girl.

Speaker 1: I can't believe Nico is hanging with that girl, she's gross.
Speaker 2: haha, he's gonna shock the monkey.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In other news, finally received employee id card, and attached to that, was this card as well.

From Misc

Promoting you're environmental policy by printing it on a plastic card. Great!
Its like printing "Stop using plastic bags" on a plastic bag, and handing it out to people.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now on the topic of green, feast your eyes on this

From Gunpla

Just a little prep work for the MG 00 raiser.

As some of you may remember, I covered a bit about the HG 00 raiser in a previous post

Today, we'll have a look at the MG.
So far, we'll be looking at the inner frame of the kit.
Next to MG exia
From Gunpla

Compared to the exia frame, which was quite sloppy and loose even oob, the 00 frame is nice and sturdy.

Theres also a lot of improvement with articulation.
For starters, we'll have a look at the torso.
Exia torso has very limited amount of roll for either side.
From Gunpla
The 00 frame almost doubles the range of roll movement
From Gunpla
One of the strangest parts of the exia was also an incomplete frame.
Being one of the more modern bandai MG's, the exia's legs had a few problems.
As you can see from the following picture, the parts which are separated aren't actually attached together properly, and can fall apart without armor holding it together.
From Gunpla

Given that we know bandai can make full inner frame kits, eg Zaku 2.0
From Gunpla
there shouldnt have been any reason as to why they couldnt make the same for a newer kit.

Thankfully, the MG 00 has it all.

Range of leg movement for MG exia
From Gunpla
Range of leg movement for 00
From Gunpla
Arm movement also excellent
From Gunpla
Now back when I did a quick review of the HG 00, Sum was complaining how robot yoga looked weird. So heres a bit more, with the MG instead. ^^

From Gunpla
From Gunpla
From Gunpla
Oddly enough, the MG cant strike the God gundam pose with legs crossed while standing.
From Gunpla
But then again, REAL men stand with their legs apart.
From Gunpla
Inner frame of the O raiser

Full frame of 00 raiser

Well, thats the review of the 00 frame out of the way, next post would be with the armor attached.
