I don't have a cutesy name for it, but here's where I'll link to them. Hope you guys like it, I don't have any sort of idea what I'm going for, and it'll probably just continue to be random thoughts.

I also should have a photo up there, but I'm not sure what's going on with that... can't get it to work.

Anyway, here's the few I've got up so far.

Thanks for the RROD interview link. Very informative.

EDIT: Just found out my buddy's on his 4th.

"...You send in a broken box, you get back a working box (hopefully). So there is a rotating stock of the original units that get repaired and returned to service. Plus, they keep finding these cashes of launch units here and there and using them too. Didn't you hear during the holidays that bundles were found with units made in 06? Those were pulled back from the retail channel last spring when the new heatsink was done, and had the new heatsink placed on them and then put into the shipping flow like any other box.

Back to the rotating inventory of launch units. You risk getting one of those back until the last one is out of the system. I imagine the next big outrage will be when some of the folks who waited till Falcon to buy a console for reliability reasons, and has to send it in for service, gets a Xenon back! Even when all of the Xenons are gone, you will likely get a newer gen repaired one back rather than new. Unless the fail rate gets so low there are none available. I'm holding my breath..."

They really did. A few told me it was good, but not this good. Fuckers. I'm almost done with the series, and I hate knowing I only have a few more to watch. There isn't a character that's any less than brilliant.

The Godzilla reference almost killed me.

I always loved the scenes with Franklin.

And the scene where all the family members do the chicken.

Oh god, see, now after thinking about it, I have to watch it again.

Edit: and Gravedigger, I relayed your message to the lead designer. He laughed, and said that they had actually always planned to up it to 8 after trying it out with 4. It wasn't the whiners that made them do it. Oh well!

I love Atlantis Interceptors aka. Atlantis Inferno. Here's what I wrote in my blog when I saw it in January.

They must be big Road Warrior fans judging by their appearance. See for yourself.

This film has an original story, lots of action in the city and the jungle, likable main characters, good stunts, a great eighties synth soundtrack, a decapitation with a wire strung across a road, an arrow through the head, fire arrows, gas bomb arrows, Predator style traps in the jungle, awesome looking bad guys, etc. What I'm saying is this is one of the most entertaining Italian schlock action movies ever made. The only downside I noticed was the lack of nudity. A movie like this really needs gratuitous boob shots.

I'm no expert in boating, but is this really how you control a boat?

Action!

The ending.

hahaha, that "It's a goddamn island!" screech from the boating part was another we kept rewinding. Was it another voice actor? Sure sounded like it.

Good stuff. This was definitely the best of the set I've seen so far, although "Italian Supermen" had quite the amazing intro sequence.

My brother owns the sniper rifle and the revolver. It is insane just how far Nerf guns have come since I was a kid. The sniper rifle also has darts that have tips similar to bullets that hurt a lot more to catch in the face.

That Nerf Vulcan thing however is absolute insanity. I must have it.

Just a word of warning for anyone who buys one of these Nerf guns- if you shoot your girl in the boobs with it more than 3 or so times, she won't let you touch them for the rest of the day. Just beware.

Same thing goes for the ladies. I get it, I'm a tad overweight and have man boobs, I don't need them pelted with Nerf darts, that's just frankly immature.

Those revolvers are, like, seven bucks at Target. I'd buy a box full of them if I had nerdy IRL friends who would go for some gunfighting. They would rather golf or watch televised sports.

I'm almost 30.

If we ever meet, gravedigger, I would hope that we would pull out Nerf pistols and have a Spaced-style shootout. Just on principle.

As for now, all of you better pray for me...

No product- it's just a commercial for the sculpture! An art commercial for art, if you will. Which shows you how wacky the dude is.
