Man, where did all this free time for gaming come from? : O
Also, 61.something in LSW3. Man, this game is massive. Think LEGO Harry Potter massive, only not as confusing to navigate as Hogwarts was.
So, I'm feeling pretty stoked with some of my buying options. Tomorrow, I'm going to be buying an Iron Patriot (with gantry) from a friend. That's $22 well worth it right there. After work, I'll be ordering the Eiffel Tower and Wyldstyle's motorcycle (I can't remember the direct set name off the top of my head) and a Joker keychain for my sister's birthday in June (eh, why not?) in addition to cashing in on the Martian Manhunter fig. So yeah, that's 2 Superhero figs I'm getting for quite a
So, money got tight this year for practically everybody I know, except my brother who's been promoted to manager of his department, and my grandparents who own stock in the good stuff like PepsiCo, which isn't going anywhere any time soon. Having said that, my gifts this year were modest, small, and will probably expand in time if someone goes out and does something about it. My brother bought me XCOM: Enemy Unknown and gave me a MS Touch Mouse he bought at the company store when it was on sal
One guess. So given Microsoft just lowered the price of the Xbox One back on Saturday, I decided to pick up an Assassin's Creed Unity Kinect-less bundle, $350. It didn't occur to me when I got it they also planned to give me AC4 as a bonus, which given I already had it on the 360 was a nice plus. I then proceeded to buy Fibbage for $6 and Minecraft XBO edition for $5. ... So basically, I spent almost $400 (with tax) on a brand new console, 4 games, and basically a multipurpose controller (
So Xccj visited the studio last Thursday. He has an okay write-up on his blog about it. During his visit, we looked over the proposed space where we'll be building, and he and I got Dan sort of up to speed on it, where we'll have time to sit down and plan out how we intend to build all of it. For the most part, we'll have everybody submit models and (if possible) detailed instructions on more complex parts so we can easily replicate it between both of us. That will take out the footwork of w
So we've wrapped up the final components to the Death Star. It can now be happily assembled by one man in about 30-40 minutes. We'll put that to the test on monday when we finalize its assembly in a larger area. Once it's done, we can pack it away and progress forward on more projects. Basically speaking, it's time to move on. No more dark side, we have to get going. And I'm actually looking forward to moving on. Oh also, my phone. I love it. That is all.
So, I'm currently off from work right now, both today and tomorrow. The rest of the week, I go in to work and do a workshop, then drop-in play days for kids paying. I also get to manage our train display (I'll link a Photosynth of it later on, need to make a better one.) In addition to all of that, I also have a Christmas party at my brother's house I'm attending. I'm happily looking forward to that, if only because my brother just scored a Surface RT from work, plus I'd love to play around wi
So, I get to work today, and lo and behold I'm already slammed into work. That's fine, that's why I'm there. I had designed a model last year for Dan, a firehall based in New York (Hook & Ladder 8, also known as the Ghostbusters HQ) and we're not sure what happened, but it got damaged in a specific place. So the back wall is removable. On one side is a set of windows and (badly designed) fire escape. On the reverse is a blank wall, that way we can put it in any display where we have limi
Oho man, we're not even close to being done, but I'm excited for this leg of the stretch. With two days to go, we need a bit of a miracle at this point to keep us going I think on Sunday, if we don't end up working on the island, I'm going to post a random set of photos we took with my camera that shows behind-the-scenes and more in-detail photos of some of the construction methods used. Also, I should post a few of our easter eggs and see if you can tell what they are. We have at least two
Man, I'm bored. So I updated my blog with new stuff. More Green Lantern related, go figure. In the real world I am in the middle of summer, so our schedule is down to 3 days a week in the studio. FORTUNATELY I'm busy working on something epic, that being a megafig of Iron Man. I may have described the last four before (Green Lantern, Captain America, The Flash and Logan (Wolverine) in street clothes) so this is a bit more challenging. For the geeks out there, I'm designing the Iron Man 2/Ave
Curse you, Niners. And you as well, Lions. At least we're not 4th place NFC. Thanks for that, Rams : D Oh well, 8-8 season beats 2-14, RIGHT INDY & STL? : D : D Alright, I'm not much for bandwagon hopping, but if I must I must... Packers or Saints for NFC, Ravens or Broncs for AFC. That's my choices.
Sorry for the delay winners, but I had good reason. Two weeks ago my boss looked at me and said "I'm sick of these business cards, make me a new one." So I did. We just got them last week. And I need to coordinate with him when to sign 6 brand new business cards so I can ship them with the winning prizes. Basically, it's a logistics problem. It may take me another week or two to get it all out the door. But I am doing the best I can. Thank you.
So I just did a major test on my phone beginning yesterday. Since Sat. morning, approx. 10:00-11:00 AM, it had been off the charger. It lasted 30 hours off the charger with very minimal usage over the weekend. I made about 9 phone calls on it, averaging about 5 minutes each call. I also ran the Skype app for about 20 minutes. In other words? I love this phone. It lasted long enough in my opinion that it'll be a great addition to my arsenal of devices. To my buddies at BrickCon and Bricks C
