Trying something new with timestamps for the upcoming trilogy of episodes, so pardon the dust. Editing is almost fully caught up, unless Aaron or Vangelus decide to pull some sort of \"THE WORK\'S NEVER DONE\" schtick over the weekend.
If I may offer some constructive criticism, the music at the beginning rising and falling in volume when there's a pause in the talking is really distracting. Otherwise, fantastic job as always!
it was a neat idea, though! To the podcast crew. I'm sure you've long since heard this, but I snipped that offending peg completely off to allow for proper 90 degree rotation since this combined weapon will only ever be wielded by Iguanas. I also apparently started out with the wrong configuration because I didn't realize the sword fits between the prongs on the Iguanas part.
Happy to see all these eps! I didn't get a chance to say hi, but your panels at Tfcon were so much fun! Chris, would you be able to share yours and Aaron's extra life links? RIP Thumbs.
So, I know it was a joke, but I would be all in favor of a collab of Studio Series Movie Galvatron into Robotnik\'s truck from Sonic the Hedgehog
Aw dang I'm sorry I missed you!! My Extra Life (Toronto SickKids) Extra Life | I'm raising money for my local children's miracle network hospital! Aaron's Extra Life (Riley Hospital for Children) Extra Life | I'm raising money for my local children's miracle network hospital!
I am famously horrendous at competitive card games and dared not to approach your domain. Just gave a bit to both of you! Hope you had a great weekend! And congrats Chris on a 300 day hobby streak! (It's Someotherbots!)
I loved the listener question about feeling awkward with collecting. I definitely felt that in my younger days. I’m approaching 40 now and I honestly don’t have time for people who need to judge or make fun. A few months before I got married, I asked a similar question to Vangelus and Seth (it has been that long). Long story short, my wife’s friend used to try to dunk on my collecting habits and I finally had enough and politely told her off, which my wife supported and echoed my views. It’s not a wonder that she’s divorced now while my wife and I are happy.
I would add to this that there’s plenty of people out there who have something they really love and just want someone to talk to about it. I don’t have too many transformers friends, but I do have a lot of friends that like something a whole lot that I can be a good listener for. I engage with them about what they love and in exchange I can share what I enjoy. It’s a good way to surround yourself with people who will support your interest.
