Art Project


From the King of SciFi department:
All right, I was feeling particularly creative. That and Zachary and I are having a particular disagreement about the care and usage of Star Wars vehicles, so hanging them on the wall became an option (my option, not his). The real chore was hanging the Republic Gunship, which has to be the heaviest toy I've ever owned. Also the hugest. Also the bestest.
I'm still short one Jedi Starfighter in this shot, but I've picked one up at an almost reasonable price, soon to be added to the wall. I still need to fill in the seats, and I've realized how short of Jedi figures I am.
I guess now I need to start looking for classic ships, but honestly, these are cooler designs. The ARC-170 is almost the coolest ship I've ever seen.

A tie interceptor would be cool, though...

Sweet. Phat.



From the w00t! department...
I got some new loot for Larry. It looks sweet phat. The blue glow is awesome. I'm still not convinced about the 16 gaming keys, but I need something to replace my game commander, which is wearing out. Enter the Logitech G15. I wish there was a bit of support for the LCD display, but it has an SDK, so I may mess with it myself.

Apparently this will interface with Battlefront II to give you live stats. I would like to see that on all my shooters at least. And an interface with SFC is just screaming to be made.

Crazy new hobby

Alright, I'm going through an adjustment. And I never, ever thought this would be fun. Honest.

I'm buying and selling collectibles on eBay.

I know it's crazy. But I'm pulling ahead a bit. Not a mint, just a bit. Next stop, convention geek dealer. Oh, no, I've already stepped up and booked the table. I'm planing my merchandise layout. Plotting how to foil the five-fingered discounts.

Funny thing fun. You never know when it's going to strike.

Posting from an undisclosed location...

Alright, this is just a post to test the remote post function.
 
AND a note to all of you who have not played it.  If you haven't checked out Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (for PC, at least), get on it.  It bought it about a year ago and never got around to installing it, a certain online MMORPG having monopolized my time.  This game rocks.  It's exactly what I thought MGS2 was going to be.
 
Anything that distracts me from my alternate life online...
