MP-13 Soundwave

Been a while since i've purchased any TF's from the Masterpiece line ( as most seem to be repaints in one way or another ), but the upcoming Soundwave was too cool to resist! Pictured in color finally from the Tokyo Toy.

They'll be releasing Rumble and Ravage too! ;) Awesome.

Beard up!

Haha, this is a good one!

“We took 100 soldiers. 25 were Special Forces qualified and had beards, 25 were Special Forces qualified without beards, 25 were regular Army allowed to grow beards for the study, and the last 25 were regular Army without beards. All 100 of these subjects were in direct combat in Afghanistan during the study.”

He continued, “Xegis Solutions had several teams of researchers embedded with these troops to make observations on their combat effectiveness. The results were overwhelming, out of the 50 soldiers with beards, zero were wounded or killed and they had a significantly higher accuracy of fire than the soldiers without beards. The soldiers lacking beards had a higher rate of weapons malfunctions and basically, shit went wrong most of the time.”

Must be something they put in the beard! Or maybe top brass heard wrongly, and it was supposed to be 'beer'

Venus Transit

So, did you manage to catch Venus transitting across the sun?

"On June 5, the planet Venus will appear to pass in front of the Sun as seen from the surface of the Earth. This phenomenon, called a transit of Venus, happens only a few times in 250 years. The next one will be in 2117 AD"

2117.... i'll be 141 years old! :p

Too much D3!

OMG, it's been a while since i last posted, end of may already? Well, another 7 more months till bye bye to this year! A bit too eary yes. :)

Diablo 3!

Just a couple of hours till we're able to play D3!.... Well, not me yet anyway. Was supposed to collect my preorder from a local shop, didn't expect HALF OF SINGAPORE to order from them too! The queue was crazy, it basically stretched TWICE across the whole floor... and no one knew where the queue started!

More rants! Wanted to build a new rig too, and tag it with a new Gfx card that was just released.. APPARENTLY Gfx cards are like, collectible items too, cos people buy multiples for god knows why.. plus the blardy retailers at SLS are like "oh sorry, i don't have that card anymore.. only for new system builds..." PUHLEASE....

Ok, feels good to rant! Which is what this blog is all about! :D

Avengers.... Assemble!

Shanghai - Day 4

View from the meeting room

Day 4 was Sunday, mostly spent preparing the office for the next day's opening. By then the office was mostly spick and span, but heck if the vendor didn't take his time patching the comms rack!

Dinner!

The cafeteria was closed on Sunday, so we wandered to a nearby eatery for nom nom. Nice nom nom actually. They had great noodles, buns and side dishes! After that it was back to office again. Think we stayed kinda late that night. Only knocked off about 11pm. :p
