Honestly I think a giant robot having a katana is sillier than any amount of laser beams.

OANST · #**332** 06-05-2010, 10:49 AM

Have to agree. You wouldn't think that these things are designed for close combat.

Strike Witch · #**333** 06-05-2010, 03:52 PM

The name Gundam is Japanese for "Fuck, this fucker is gonna fucking kill us all with his swords and guns and shit run the fuck away no way in hell do we have a chance shiiiiiiiiiit".

MeechMunchie · #**334** 06-06-2010, 03:48 AM

Gun? Damn.

Mac Sirloin · #**335** 06-06-2010, 01:46 PM

Gun: weapon
Dam: Defense

WoF or Strike Witch taught me that.

Wings of Fire · #**336** 06-06-2010, 01:50 PM

Definitely Strike Witch, I'd have told you that depending on which continuity you watch it's either because they are made of Gundanium alloy (AC), it was a generic name for the prototype along with Guntank and Guncannon (UC/AW/CC) or it's a really retarded acronym meaning General Purpose Utility Non-Discontinuity Augmentation Maneuvering Weapon System (CE).

:

During its conceptual phase, the series was titled Freedom Fighter Gunboy, or simply Gunboy for the gun the robot was armed with, and the primary target demographic were shōnen (boys). In the early production stages, there were numerous references to the word "freedom": the White Base was originally "Freedom's Fortress", the Core Fighter was the "Freedom Wing", and the Gunperry was the "Freedom Cruiser". The Yatate team combined the English word "gun" with the last syllable of the word "freedom" to form the name Gundom. Tomino then changed it to the current title, suggesting that Gundam signified a powerful unit wielding a gun powerful enough to hold back enemies, like a hydroelectric dam holding back floods.

Basically, "a warrior with a Gun who is strong enough to hold back enemies like a dam."

You won't recover.

whoa, so hang the fuck on. Gundam doesn't mean "Fuck, this fucker is gonna fucking kill us all with his swords and guns and shit run the fuck away no way in hell do we have a chance shiiiiiiiiiit"?

misled.

Strike Witch · #**340** 06-07-2010, 03:28 PM

That's what it means currently.

Like how a faggot used to mean bundle of sticks and now means Alcar.

Bought some Transformers too.

It meant a piece of mutton in my childhood. Which meant I didn't really understand The Fairytale Of New York when I first saw it.

Autographed Freezepop poster. <3

PalezQkkeli · #**343** 06-20-2010, 11:36 AM

Just bought this:

and this:

A Chorus pedal (the best one on the market IMO, since it can produce any kind of chorus sound) and a loop station!

My mini-ocarnia and the various body parts of a skink I dissected a few weeks ago.

Disgruntled Intern · #**345** 06-21-2010, 10:31 AM

Poor skink.

Sekto Springs · #**346** 06-21-2010, 10:42 AM

As long as it wasn't vivisection.

Strike Witch · #**347** 06-21-2010, 06:10 PM

This is Ritsu. She's the drummer in her band. I have the lead guitarist Yui and Keyboardist Mugi. Just need Bassist Mio and guitarist Azusa later on, then I have them all.

Mac Sirloin · #**348** 07-07-2010, 10:31 PM

I GOT A NEW HAT MADE

MeechMunchie · #**349** 07-08-2010, 09:07 AM

You have yet to surpass Meat You.

Mac Sirloin · #**350** 07-08-2010, 09:22 AM

This one is a joke within a joke. Does it say 'Hatred' or 'HAT RED'?

OANST · #**351** 07-08-2010, 09:24 AM

I read it as Hat Red, at first.

So I got some cool shit for my birthday:

Probably one of my favorite shirts now. It confuses twilight fans and represents BSG and The Olmos. Come on.

WaCom Bamboo Fun Digital Tablet. I like it a lot, but it's really...Different. I feel like I'm learning how to draw all over again.

Yeah. I just need the Bouncer and Splicer/little sister/lamb combo, and I'm good to go. It's lame, but I've got this shelf with all the toys below a framed Bioshock poster plus a couple of framed Rapture propaganda prints. I wasn't a huge fan of Bioshock 2, but I loved the first, I really like the toys, and I still love the character models. So I am a nerd.

I also got some custom chucks. They're the original Skid Grip CVO Canvas skate shoes from back in the day, which is +10 cool:

Ridg3 · #**354** 07-15-2010, 11:39 AM

Currently my instrument collection is pretty meh to be posting it up as cool shit, besides my epiphone acoustice, but sooner or later I'm gonna have this flashy cunt of a thing.

It retails pretty expensive for a student so it may be a couple of months but it shall be mine...

Hazel-Rah · #**355** 08-10-2010, 11:49 PM

I bought this off the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, it's a box set of four H.P. Lovecraft stories done up like 20's radio dramas and it comes with a bunch of extras from the Mythos.

The once wooden now carboard box that holds the CDs

CDs themselves

Photos of the black slate cities of the Elder Things, I was expecting them to be more impressive IDK, the photos are awesome though

A match from the Gilman Lighthouse in Innsmouth

Page 751 of a copy of the Necronomicon, handy for summoning Yog Sothoth

A map of Innsmouth with a scratch-n-sniff stain, it smells like fish

Sketches of the Elder Things

Sketches of the Shoggoths and an Elder Thing tombstone

The FBI torpedoing Devil's Reef

A photo of Wilbur Whately and the Whately farmhouse from the Arkham Adviser

And plenty of other once relevant news articles from the time

***Xavier*** · #**356** 08-11-2010, 02:00 AM

The Necronomicon? In English? Really?

Otherwise looks pretty cool and nicely done to me

OANST · #**357** 08-11-2010, 06:47 AM

Pro tip: It's not real.

Hazel-Rah · #**358** 08-11-2010, 10:21 AM

OANST: Says you.

Yeah page 751 is my favorite prop from the set, I think Dunwich Horror is done really well too, Wilbur's voice is CREEPY the whole thing is much better than that Sci-Fi original that came out a year ago O.o

My favorite H.P. Lovecraft story of all time is Shadow out of Time, that's the reason I got this, that story never gets any love even though the Library of America considers it one of his best stories :P my least favorite has to be Shadow over Innsmouth, eh IDK too Conan the Barbarian :P

Mac Sirloin · #**359** 08-11-2010, 10:45 AM

Dunwich Horror is the only one I bothered to read through, and even then...

Hazel-Rah · #**360** 08-11-2010, 10:50 AM

What? It's a great story.
