Original Saku

I'm actively playing a lot of different games right now... Gravity Rush 2 Trying to find the time to finish this game. I really love this series, but it's definitely being overshadowed by more recent games. Nioh Love this one to death, such good combat and challenging mechanics. It's probably gonna be a while before I finish it though, not really on the top of my list to play atm. Horizon Zero Dawn Fucking Good shit right here! Talk about making a good open world game that doesn't bog you down with a bunch of checklist type fetch quests, just a solid open world RPG that's trimmed all the tedious awful practices of most other games in the same genre. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Yeah this is the one that's taking most of my time and attention right now... All I can say is the six year wait was worth it, they really delivered what a lot of fans have been clamoring for for a very long time. This is pretty much a reinvention of Zelda in the best way possible and it just works. Somehow they made an open world that just feels alive and is absolutely gigantic in scale but doesn't feel empty or boring. BotW's open world is really a industry marvel as far as I'm concerned, It feels so well thought out and just captivating that I boot the game up and without any direction or plan I just get lost doing random shit for hours that actually feels fun and memorable. Persona 4 Golden Doing a max social link play through right now in preparation for P5. probably the second most played game right now next to Zelda just because P5 is less than 3 weeks away (I can't believe it either lol) and obviously I want to be done in time for launch. Also it is a undubbed ver. of the game being played on my CFW vita, Japanese voice actors are too good XD 2017 is legit going down as one of the greatest years for video games, this first quarter alone is just unreal with how many quality games that have come out, even more than the ones I just mentioned. 2017 truly the year of dreams P.S. I'm still playing FFXV from time to time, especially for the new timed quests. I'm super hype for the Gladiolus DLC later this month! P.S.S. NieR Automata PC release in 4 days! I'm so fucking hype, but holy shit, there's no time! I'm gonna have to either quit my job or stop sleeping to keep up with all these amazing games!

Finished Zeta Gundam now I've started ZZ! Life is good right now Also been watching a bunch of current shows. don;t really feel like listing them right now though... some pretty good shows this season tho.

I'm gonna start this now before I forget and it gets too far into the year

I doubt it, since Ikkyu is a very common Japanese name... It could be reference to this anime of the same name, which in turn is about the famous 15th century Japanese Zen Buddhist monk and poet, Ikkyū Sōjun.

oh man they're actually coming to my city! yep I have to go, I already regret not going to see boris last time they were here.

A bit of back story real quick. So a few years ago (early 2015 I believe) I re watched the original Mobile Suit Gundam for the first time in many many years, I enjoyed reliving the classic gundam so much that I intended to re watch all of the Universal Century series in order of production all the way up to Unicorn... but shortly after downloading all of the series needed I got extremely sidetracked with stuff (literally I don't remember what ) . Well some time passed and eventually my anime HDD with my archived collection shit the bed and I lost my entire collection last year... welp fast forward to now and I've finally hunted down my collection again and now I'm happily re watching Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam ! Also IBO season two is fucking awesome. I'm really enjoying this series.

And this is why I fucking love Yoko Taro XD he's the man.

So I wasn't supposed to buy any games this month, because I'm saving my moniez for the Nintendo switch launch here in a few weeks.... but I just couldn't resist and a week after release I finally caved in and bought Nioh. I had to do it, I just couldn't stop worrying about spoilers and hearing other peoples impressions. I'm so glad I caved because it's so good, like seriously good... man team ninja did a solid on this one the next problem is I really want to get For Honor as well.... but I'm gonna resist. I hope.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say that if you didn't preorder a Switch, you will not be getting one launch week (hell probably not even launch month xD), unless either you have friends in high places or pay out the ass for it. Everywhere sold out of it and has been sold out since the first day or two that the preorders were open. As far as I know from talking to various retailers, nobody is gonna be getting more preorders, and it's very likely that no one will have more shipments of the console in until a few weeks after launch at the earliest and even then those shipments will probably be sold out instantly because of the demand. on another note I was able to get a preorder somehow at my local gamestop... Walked in the day after it was announced and dated and asked for a preorder and I apparently got the last one XD mind you this was not even 24hours after the preorders went live. so I guess I got extremely lucky because I have so many friends and acquaintances that are trying to get one but missed the small preorder window

here's a different look at the kit with it's 200mm guns attached. also doing a really cool pose reaching for that sword mace I'm resisting putting this thing on a action base so hard right now.... man this is a fun kit to pose XD

Here's the straight build of the 1/100 Full Mechanics Barbatos Lupus, the only thing that's been modified is the v-fin where I cut off the safety nubs and sharpened the points a little. Other than that really simple modification and a little sanding for clean nub removal, it is totally untouched. I thought about going ahead and panel lining this beast, since it has hella panel lines... but I do plan to fully paint this kit in the near future (the next few months), so I will keep it as is for now to save me the trouble. next kit is going to be the HGUC 1/144 Gyan Revive, I'm so excited to do some Zeon mobile suits

NSFW!

Oh yes of course, but what you can do is if they are loose fitting, just take a little cement or glue and put it on the connector piece(s) and then let it dry on, then snap the side skirts back on and voila the connection should in practice be a lot more snug and secure. Paint will also have this same effect in some cases, especially on loose joints. DO NOT use this method of cement/glue on your joints tho, it will not work the same and will probably either wreck your joints or make them look like crud. the only thing you can do for overly loose joints is paint them , and even then it's not guaranteed that it will make a difference. Which joints on the lupus are giving you trouble? I ask out of curiosity since I'm still building mine right now

superglue and/or Tamiya plastic cement is your friend! @CAT5actually there's another kit that was just announced that I'm really considering picking up... http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2017/02/p-bandai-hguc-1144-jegan-ecoas-conroy_2.html It's the HGUC 1/144 Jegan [ECOAS] Conroy Use. Basically it's a Jagan P-Bandai kit based off of Conroy's Jagan from the Unicorn OVA.

Actually yeah I have the new MG GM Sniper II that just came out coming in the mail as soon as my site gets their preorders in. Also I'm eyeing the MG Providence gundam that's due out in march

yeah I usually use Imgur to upload pictures I want to post

well MGR is also developed by Platinum games, so that makes sense

@nostalgia that NieR Automata desktop is hawt here's what I'm currently rocking on Win10

awesome news, really like what I've heard from them so far

here's my OOB build of Julieta's Mobile Reginlaze. I'm really liking how this kit looks plus the accessories are pretty cool, Can't wait to get it on a action base This is the kit I actually am planning on custom painting with a custom color color scheme and everything, it will be my first time fully painting a kit. Stay tuned for that in the near future. Full Gallery is HERE

yeah I feel yah, I'm just saying compared to what these things have been going for, that's relatively cheap. The market price is dropping as new tech is being introduced and the older tech is in turn becoming more affordable. Start saving up man, that's what I did... in fact now that I see that they have dropped to $399 i might actually get another one for a dual setup but yeah you can get 1440p (or even 1080p) 144hz monitors for less than that, but it won't have stuff like gsync and the other bells and whistles. imo there's no point in getting a high refresh rate panel unless it comes with gsync or freesync, otherwise the framerate is just sickening at times. Oh btw I'm mainly upgrading MOBO and CPU because I'm still stuck on the AM3+ platform with my FX9370.... which is starting to lag behind severely in cpu heavy modern games, but what do you expect from a 6 year old architecture XD If I had a Haswell chip as beastly as the 4770k I would also be content to run it into the ground, since the gains from it to skylake or kabylake are very negligible, at least gaming wise gains that is.

oh wait I lied the last thing I upgraded was my monitor in October, duh xD I definitely recommend upgrading to 1440p 144Hz, it's so great and just a overall game changer (quite literally lol) also Gsync is a must imo. They're not that expensive anymore, the monitor I got is only $399 on Amazon right now (It was actually $150 more when I bought it), and you get 144Hz 1440p and Gsync, granted it's a TN panel and not IPS, it's still an amazing LCD for that price with a ton of features. https://www.amazon.com/Dell-S2417DG-YNY1D-24-Inch-LED-Lit/dp/B01IOO4SGK
