Lets see.....
Finally got my hands on a Sith Apprentice Darth Maul. You know, I like the design of this thing, but, really, I mean, the thing can't stand up, can't hold his lightsabre in more than one position, the skirt piece is REALLY obtrusive, and he can't turn his neck. And THIS was what Maul could've ended up looking like in Phantom Menance?
Managed to finally get a full image set of Dechiper's Star Wars CCG today. YAY. They put links to the Jabba's palace sealed deck stuff up, I don't know when, a while ago I'd imagine, and apparently the Rebel Leaders and Jedi Pack cards are hidden in there for some reason, but I guess that's what Google Image search is for. Weird thing is that it doesn't seem that the Hyperoute Navigation Chart isn't on the page, although I did find a rather titled scan of the card on some other page. Oh well, I just wanted a digital refrence guide for characters anyway, not like I'm gonna be printing out the damn cards or anything.
Ultima Online : Lord Blackthrone's Revenge came out the other day. The figure included with it is kinda lame, jsut a silver version of the regular Blackthrone figure, though I don't know how much smaller it is then the normal one. Although the fact that they call it a "mini" figure and the things like 6 inches tall makes you wonder if the damn regular release figure is gonna end up being like four feet tall or something. Of course mine broke about 45 minutes out of the package, and it's being a pain in the ass to fix, seeing as how it's one of the wires on the arm that's broken, and isn't something that's gonna repair easy. So far teh hot glue is holding but, for how long?
I did order the set of six UO:LBR figures from Amok Time, and they seem to have been released, so I guess any day now they'll ship, unless the damn Space Ghost villan figures get delayed AGAIN and hold up the shipment. They'll probably suck anyway, but at least now I can do some Space Ghost : Coast to Coast fan fiction comics, and then get slammed for doing fan fiction. Bleh, whatever.
You know, for soem reason I want an art student girlfreind. Like one of those people who do performance art where they're sitting in a bowl of tomato flavored pudding and screaming out the names of all the Secretary of the Interior's names while claiming it's some kind of protest about the exploitaion of penguins in zoos, or some stupid stuff like that. I don't know, maybe it's just because, while the message might be all weird, you do have to admire the creativity of the whole matter. I guess as long as she's not a smoker or drinker and doesn't mind a mild action figure obsession, I could put up with sitting around listening to beatnik poetry. Like I couldnt write that crud though.
WinMX people still suck, but at least now I seem to have a better repository for TMBG songs on the web, so that's some solace in the whole matter. I did finally get MP3s of I Am Not Your Broom and the Giantcam version of Dr. Worm (which is FAR superior the Severe Tire Damage version). Boingo Graveyard did disappear though, oh well, at least I got everything off that site.
Well, more later, hopefully.
