Pokemon Y: Day 2

So I still have...   One badge.   There's just so much to do! So many Pokémon to catch, both new and old! Every 30 minutes I'm really struggling to construct a team, because I find something else that I really like.   My team:   Philoctetes, Skiddo Lv. 24 Soul Eater, Honedge Lv. 21 Gabutyra, Tyrunt Lv. 21 Kurama, Braixen Lv. 28 Sanbi, Wartortle Lv. 27 Ankh, Fletchinder Lv. 28   Available/might use maybe eventually again:   Pandaman, Pancham Lv. 25 Uva, Vivillon Lv. 22 Skyhopper, Diggersby Lv. 20

Avatar Query & Things

I really do need a new avatar; it's been too long that I've been staring at pony Luffy (not that he isn't incredible still). But just can't decide anything that screams me... ya know? Thoughts, suggestions?   Also, I realized I never put back up my Pokémon Y logs... I really should do that. I plan to again write one for Omega Ruby (including one for the demo within the next few days), so might as well get them here since I still have it saved.   Have my Minecraft Micro World reviews saved and al

Lazer Team Casting

Even if all I get out of it is this picture, I'll still say going to the extras casting call for Lazer Team was worth it.     Finally got out and did something here in Austin, which is something I've been struggling with a bit. Even though it just ending up being a 2.5 hour wait in the hot Texas sun to be shuffled into a room, have my headshot taken, and shuffled out. But... The paper they gave out afterwards for details on it, though... Has me hopeful. Because one line is "we need many clean-

Confirmed: Bionicle Reboot Incoming

Looks like it is indeed a total reboot, based on what's coming out of NYCC today.   It's really weird how accepting of this when the last beloved franchise of mine to do this, Star Wars, still has me bitter over it...   A few things indicate a massive simplification of things, like labeling Tahu's mask... Tahu's Mask, and not a Hau (could change) and the new Makuta seeking a "Mask of Ultimate Power." But we'll see what it's really like in time, I guess.   ~|ET|~

Photo Shoot 8 - Salacious Crumb w/Jabba the Hutt

I know I've said it before, but I feel like yet again that I need to stress that I've not really found a good place to take pictures in my apartment yet. I feel like I might need to make a custom photobooth if I want to keep doing this... But I'm lazy heh. Still, I'm not too thrilled by a lot of these, but it's the best I was able to come up with.   So with that preface out of the way, let's get to the main event!     Salacious B. Crumb here is truly the star of the show. He is a big reason wh

Smash Bros Demoing

I was fortunate enough to be given a code by a kind gentleman on Tokunation, so I've been playing the demo for a good chunk of the day.   Despite my numerous problems with the game's development and everything said throughout... I knew I'd still get it, for both 3DS and WiiU, and knew I'd play them a lot.   And just this little bit on the 3DS has reinforced that so far.   I've mostly been playing as Mega Man, and man is he fun! Definitely going to be one of my go-to characters.   I just can't ge

I Don't Have a Problem... - August Haul

May have gone a little overboard this month...     Since the first picture is just not good (seriously I cannot find a good place to take pictures in this apartment. Windows are huge and everywhere...), here's a breakdown of everything in relative arrival order: Transformers Generations Whirl Star Wars: The Old Republic: Annihilation Star Wars: Kenobi Star Wars: Crucible A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones Transformers AOE Grimlock Dragonball Z: Battle of Gods Goku cardboard hair

Photo Shoot 7 - Digimon Part 1

A year later and man, I still freaking love Metalgarurumon. This is just one incredible figure.   So, here are some pictures I took before the move and am only now getting around to posting. :3 When Imperialdramon gets here next month, I do plan on taking some more.     Also Dukemon/Gallantmon and Omegamon/Omnimon. Because they look great together and imposing even just standing there. I am suuuuper pumped that Alphamon is the next Digimon (whenever he'll be officially announced and release

ALL The Money! - July Haul

With my move came some newfound freedom and with that freedom I... may have gone a little overboard.   Alright, so... I finally started getting Transformers again! Of the bunch of Generations I've missed, really only Waspinator is left of recent waves that I'm mad I didn't get. With Skywarp I've finally completed a Seeker trio! And Armada Starscream is just cool to have. Now if I could have some luck and find a Rattrap, as they're hitting stores now apparently (and I've certainly got a lot to

Photo Shoot 6 - Collection Apartment Update!

Well, let's get this one out of the way, shall we?!   A lot of is going to be familiar since I did bring the same shelves I had at home after all. But a good number of things did move around.   Let's start with the big picture: I'm turning my spare bedroom into a man cave/study, slowly but surely. Right now its main attraction is the toy shelves. I've got a bunch of posters I want to get up eventually too. I also plan on eventually purchasing a desk to put in there, but for now the small seco

Photo Shoot 5 - Apartment Tour

Huh, could have sworn I posted these here already... I was going to post another shoot today, but then I noticed I hadn't, so let's do this one first!   For those that don't know, I moved to Austin, TX on June 23rd. I'm now living on my own - truly on my own - for the first time and it's... quite a bit intimidating. But I'm enjoying work for the most part and found a pretty nice place to live. I've moved into a 2 bedroom/1.5 bath apartment in northern Austin that's close to both work and shoppin

Watch_Tamashii - June Haul

This is one heavy Tamashii month!     We've already seen Gaim and Baron here. Plus first run bonuses! I really, really need to get myself a Zangetsu now since I missed the preorders and I already secured a Ryugen... just to have them all on that sweet stage (the symbols represent those four characters). But I really can't stress enough how pretty they are.   Lucario's cool and is pretty much exactly what I expected. As in, he can't stand all that well but you can do whatever you want with a sta

Photo Shoot 4 - Home Collection Tour

I move in just under a week, so before the movers come I finally moved stuff out of the way to get to the last shelf I needed to take a picture of to show off everything I had displayed.   Let's get started, shall we?   First up is Star Wars! My collection is still pretty small but continues to grow (and with S.H. Figuarts Star Wars now announced, I'm sure it won't stop). These guys actually don't have a dedicated space yet, but once I move in to my apartment I plan to line them up in front of a

Photo Shoot 3 - Riders

More from the backlog first. Here we have Kamen Rider Blade, who is easily one of the best Figuarts Riders to be released.     And some new stuff:     The first of the fruit Riders have arrived! These guys simply look phenomenal and I love them. I only have Ryugen preordered so am kicking myself for not getting in on some of the exclusives already... [but that was mostly because I didn't have an address to ship them to and didn't want to be annoying with a middleman trying to change tha

Stick of Dogs - May Haul

Aaaalrighty! Eren came in and I finally bought some more games! Yippee!     Also Stormtrooper. Yay! Amazon finally, finally came through and I managed to snag one during the literal minutes they are in stock for. Some of the articulation on the trooper is disappointing, but even so he can do what poses I want.   Eren oh Eren... I already showed him off and said some words about him, but yeah... He's a solid figure and I'm glad to have him.   I also finally bought Stick of Truth! It's so hilar

Photo Shoot 2 - Darth Maul

Let's get to the old pictures then, shall we? Way back from when I first got him and still cared about Star Wars*, I present Darth Maul!     He's still one of the best in the Black Series line.   *Seriously, killing the EU and implying everyone who spent time and money investing in it completely wasted their time has really, really soured me on the new movie and the franchise's new owners in general.   ~|ET|~

Photo Shoot 1 - Figma

I've been packing up for the big move, so of course that means I've felt like taking some pictures before boxing things up. Well, one of those was my new Figma Eren (to be seen again in this month's haul). Only took a few, so here are some old ones of Mikasa and even Samus too!   Eren first:   I wish they could pull off the salute pose properly, but otherwise the Attack on Titan figures are fantastic.   Mikasa:   ...However, I'm glad I really only wanted Mikasa and Eren [although if he were

Kongu's Digital Path of Heaven - April Haul

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!   This month's haul satisfies me tremendously.   First, I finally completed the Toa Mahri! Kongu has long been a gaping hole in my collection that I passed on so many times for really no reason. The Mahri were still overall pretty weak as sets, but Kongu's Zatth was always cool, so at least he has something going for him.   And then Omegamon... Omegamon, the most expensive D-Arts figure in the aftermarket bar none, at last reissued - the last D-Arts that's going to be rele
