NYCC

cleareason — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 02:09:56 +0000

I went to comic con on Friday with a plan expecting to get some exclusives. Unfortunately I was not in time to get kaNO’s NYCC Dragon King exclusive. However, I did wait for it to drop today on MPH website, which thankfully I got a hold of. I also missed Argonaut resins since he wasn’t selling until Saturday.

What I did get out of comic con was Keithing’s custom 8″ driftwood dunny.

I also managed to meet Angry Woebots and get a munny signed by him (Soo coool!!!)

I met the creators of a website called trampt, which is sort of like a Wikipedia/social network/ and market place for toys. Pretty good way to keep track of your collection and any other prints or original art you might own.

Update End of Feb*

*Yes, I know this was old but It was just sitting in my drafts so I feel like I should include it.

All of this happened last weekend, just got caught up at work that I didn’t have time to write this— I ordered another DIY from Genuine Artikle They were nice enough to include my 2nd submission from the dunny show. I almost forgot about these… I’ll save them for a rainy day. Got these last weekend. My buddy Fillmore, had strong influence over me to do some book shopping, glad I didn’t get more. I’m gonna need a new bookshelf soon.

I finally got around to watching these videos by David O’Reilly passed on by a co-worker. It’s definitely something to watch if you’ve been working in the norm and need some strange and experimental inspiration to get the creative juices going again. The second video might be NSFW, just FYI.

Update: Feb 10th 2011

I’ve been meaning to post this up since last week, since I received the rest of my DIY toys from(I got half of them from MPH and was waiting to post until I got the rest). I’ve also been sick with a stomach virus which I think I got from under cooked piece of pork. Aside from that, now I have a variety of things to post.

{DIY Toys}
This is to keep me busy when I have off time from freelancing which will be in March. I seriously needed to find a creative outlet as I have been animating all year in 2010 and haven’t gotten a chance to design.

MPH: 4″ Munny, 7″ Munny, Celsius, Omi
Genuine Artikle: (4) 8″ Elements, 10″ Teddy Troop

Genuine Artikle was nice enough to include this in my order…

Medal of Honor – First Impressions

cleareason — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 04:39:00 +0000

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, since 2009 in fact. Well since then I’ve acquired a Playstation 3 which I’ve been carefully been building a collection of games for; unlike back in my young young days where I just bought any game I thought looked cool or was cheap. In this post I give my first impressions on Medal of Honor which I’ve had two nights to play.

First a chronological history of First Person Shooters [FPS] I’ve played on the PS3
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – May 2010
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 – August 2010
Medal of Honor Limited Edition – October 2010

What it is
It’s like any other FPS that I’ve already played, short story (from what I’ve heard and to be completed), same multiplayer layout. On the box it advertises an invite to test the beta Battlefield 3, a remastered version of Medal of Honor Frontline, and “Instantly unlock an exclusive multiplayer weapon and get early access to two high-powered shotguns*. Plus, be one of the first to play the highly anticipated Battlefield 3™!**”"

What I like

It’s very responsive. Bringing up the gun to aim is a lot more quicker than any of the previous FPS I’ve played
The story is relevant to the war going on now
The graphics seems to be the best out of the 3 FPS games I own

What I don’t like

In multiplayer there are two sides, the US military and middle eastern fighters. Although each round teams switch roles, it seems kinda messed up to play as “terrorists.”
Campaign mode doesn’t provide much of a challenge on Hard difficulty
It takes a while for the game to load up to reach the main menu

Other Thoughts

For the beta of Battlefield 3, I’ve read that once you enter the code inside for Medal of Honor, that you will be contacted within 12 months to test it agreeing the beta terms and such.
I have not seen any of these guns that come with the limited edition game or I haven’t done something correctly to get them.

Beat Assailant SPY (Official Music Video)
// Written and directed by Nassim Maoui and Christophe Mentz
// Graphic Design : Stephane Lamalle – Florian Fusy – Shu Yamamoto

I’ve been playing this over for the past 2 days and I’m boggled by how simple the motion/graphic design enhances the already wonderful cinematography.
Catchy tune!

Red Bull BC One

Red Bull BC One finally comes to NY without disappointment.

Many promoters of other events and related groups hand out flyers before the event started.
