    Sorry, but that's how I read it at first
    Not sorry at all ;) 

    in my opinion, no. Which is why I'm looking forward to the Mech Planet one, Bruce Forsythe chin and all...

    I'm keeping an eye on the "Cool Become Brave" apparently 1:1 CW KOs so far they've done the CW Combaticons and the Protectobots with at least Hot Spot in his UW deco. Now if they'd only put out a Prowl in Bluestreak colours, or at least a cheap Wildrider/Brake Neck for me to customise!
    Good Lord! The love that dare not speak it's name! A classical tragic romance from the Cybertronian age!

    So I deleted my Facebook... feels weird.

    Halfway through JJ season 2 and surprisingly it’s held my attention, even sans Tennant. Good times. Still prefer my boy Matt Murdock. ;)

    Quick question for the threadizens who deleted FB---did you go the extra mile to get your account -properly- erased or did you simply deactivate the account? There is a difference between the data audit trail you leave behind in either case.

    Combo of the CNY comedown and hopefully a case of playing their cards closer to the chest to avoid duplication... yeah, right.

    Maybe they're as fucking sick as I am of early render land grabs being picked apart through design by committee bullshit. Just show us a finished prototype then get it out a few months later. These are old hands playing this game now and should know the demands of their audience before throwing it to the lions. Oooh, ranty.

    Though frankly, the G1 cartoon cast is getting smaller and smaller. Ain't a whole lot left to render in plastic given the multiple options out there, and that's come round pretty quick.

    Bring on the exotic and outlandish, I say. More T-Beasts.

    Anyone's got some decent 3D model for Drift's Great Sword? My friend is trying out his 3D printer and hey, I can kill two birds with one stone!
    It's weird that for such a popular sword, it's hard to find on its' own.

    Thanks dudes! The Dinos are such beautiful little sods. Still can’t quite believe we’ve gotten them.

    Well, that's it! He is DONE!
    Every stock sticker bar the redundant eyeballs. I'm as happy as I can be with those shite foil stickers, and whoever designed them was deffo some kind of sadist because even with not-as-floppy-as-F***-foil backing as we had to work with here some of those positions were bastards to align, and some sweary, fraught removal and reapplications happened but fortunately fewer than I feared. Not as pristine a finish on some decals, especially on the swearier ones, but I pride myself on a job done better than most of the TOTP pre-applied shit stickers.
    I wouldn't mind some road stripes for the side ramps but I don't think I'll be investing in the Toyhax set for 'em to be honest.
    Slightly worried about his hips being a tad too easily moved now though, so he's gonna get a hip inspection tomorrow, they are still clicking and locking but better safe than sorry. That's for tomorrow though.
    Even though I split tonight's stickering with a break assisting on the culinary side of things and being sociable with my visiting sibling and her new partner (calling anyone over 20 years old "boyfriend" seems weird and infantilising to me), got back into it after guests departure about half nine, next time I looked at the clock an hour had swung by, HALF TEN? Lucky there's only a few more to do that shouldn't take too long...

    Looked at the time again after the final sticker was stuck TWENTY-THREE MINUTES PAST TWELVE!?! :eek:  Goddamn Flow states, thank you and GOOD NIGHT!*


    * = Good job I'm on the afternoon/evening shift tomorrow, I believe a lie-in will be necessary!

    Sorry for the downer but this country is depressing me... Jobs are tanking, the high street is dead, the currency is worthless and all the people in power can do is focus on fish.

    It's a shocking example of country wide self harm and all I can think about is how I can get out of here fast.

    Yeah, it's that too. How else do you expect me to mark my territory?

    Oh uh, I mean, I don't know what you're talking about. :redface2: 

    Robits, Dinobots certainly are pretty together. I have to set them up and try and wrangle a pic myself... but honestly? I don't have the damn time! Too much work to do.

    And then, when I'm finished for an evening to unwind I'm playing old PC games on DOSBOX. Right now it's Wing Commander (WING COMMANDER) using a joystick that I have NEVER ever used with that game before. I remember it being a great game, and it still totally is. It's a total joy (bar the odd speed issues running it through an emulator, which results in me flying straight into an asteroid because the damn things fly about at light speed).

    And the weird thing? It's only 3.3MB. WTF. My phone takes bigger pictures than that! So yeah. A couple of WC missions a day keeps me from taking pictures... and the scary thing is I have the Secret Missions, WC2, and Privateer to play as well. Oh and X-Wing. And Tie Fighter... and Strike Commander (if I can get it to work. Oh and...

    I'm an old Konami and Donald Duck fanboy first, but when Capcom makes Mickey right, it's majestic. Magical Quest, never tired of playing it. And never ever tired of listening the soundtrack.
    You might find some similarities, or rather, some kinda same vibes with Super Ghouls N Ghosts and Breath of Fire, two other smash hits from Capcom on the Snes, and you'd be right: Mari Yamaguchi composed for the three, and you're thankful to her.

    Mood.
