OK, so it’s a bit of a cop-out post this week but I’ve been playing this and borderlands so much since it was released that, to escape it, I locked up my Xbox 360 and relocated myself 200 miles away!!! So I’m in Wales now, where there’s nothing to do except watch TV (which I haven’t done for a while and don’t really miss it) and play old PS2 games which I never got round to finishing. (Xenosaga ep 3 was done last time and now I’m doing tales of the abyss! It’s kinda fun playing a game which actually has a sense of humour in places and isn’t so dour all the time like most RPGs. That and Kousuke Fujishima is my most favourite character designer of all time!!!). It also gave me some time to do something which I had left in storage for ages. if I get some decent pics, You can expect it for next weeks post. It’s not quite done yet! In any case, this game pretty much needs no introduction. The sequel to the 2007 hit Call of duty: modern warfare, it has been pretty much impossible to escape some sort of news about this game, be it the lack of dedicated servers for the PC multiplayer or “that scene” (which I will come onto later). Basically, this game has been everywhere and it has been touted as THE game launch of the year. The original MW was a surprise hit. Everyone knew it was going to be successful but nobody predicted that it would be THAT popular. In fact, The original MW went and stole the thunder for the next Call of Duty game released last year,World at War!! Expectations are high for MW2 and it has some big shoes to fill, so how did it go?

I know you’re all waiting for me to start work on my volks KOSMOS but, unfortunately, until I get the replacement parts needed to complete her, she’s in cold storage! which means I can try and focus attention on my current project, which was on hiatus until a few weeks ago due to my wrist injury. I posted her up way back in september but here she is again, Sheryl Nome!!!
A wonderful sculpt which was on sale back at wonderfestival. It’s a shame that, after last weeks post, there’s a slight feeling that she’s more like a support group as opposed to the main feature she really is!!

I have a love-Hate relationship with Volks. They can produce some amazing stuff but they can be so difficult to deal with at times. Those of you who read my post just after Hobbyround 2 will know how I feel about this but I still go back to them. Case in point, these 2 were purchased at the recent HRSR event and were on the somewhat pricey side. We’ll have a quick look at both. First up, the Knight of Gold.

This post is going to be a bit on the long side so I suggest you take a seat and maybe grab a drink to pass the time. All done? right! Let’s begin! Due to some logistical errors (blame royal mail) there wasn’t much which arrived in the month of September, even though around 1/3rd of what was ordered was expected, so I decided to combine the 2 into 1 big post. So here’s what I bought in the past 2 months.
A bit of a step up from the usual and ridiculously expensive to boot!! Thanks to this lot, I don’t think I’ll be buying any new stuff for the next few months, aside from that which has already been preordered. So that leaves The bayonetta artbook, Otacool (which should be arriving any day now), Figma Aegis (again, on it’s way), Sheryl Nome NA edition, Nendoroid Drossel (My first and possibly only nendo purchase. Exelica came with the game I wanted!) and maybe Nanoha Exceed mode, if she actually gets released in 2009!! But for now, lets take a closer look! Continue reading Sept & Oct Purchases!!

Another year, another chance to play a whole load of video games at the Eurogamer expo, held this time at at Old Billingsgate in Central London!! If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed! Looks like I made it in time!! I’ve managed to complete my little Unicorn mod and she’s just about ready to be entered into the Gunpla competition, with a few days to spare (not that I have actual time to spare on it!) Here’s my attempt at the Gundam Unicorn Banshee!!
Yup, I even managed to maintain the transformation gimmick, lame as it is!!! Continue reading Howl of the Banshee! If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed! This is Nanami Madobe and She’s the official mascot of Windows 7. Yup, that’s right. Microsoft has jumped onto the OS-tan bandwagon!!
Not sure what traits she has which fall in line with Winddows 7 (like XP-tans large chest due to her memory guzzling issues or ME-tan and her inability to do pretty much anything) but she’s up and about, trying to peddle win 7 to the masses. And to help, she’s voiced by Mizuki Nana! This will be of interest to some people because there’s a windows 7 theme which includes the above wallpaper, a couple more and several Nana Soundbytes to use!! If you want it, here you go! Note: this isn’t my work. I’m just sharing it for others! If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
Been a while since I did one of these, but then there haven’t been many excellent or massively noteworthy titles being released for a while, except maybe Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was (mostly) quite brill. I guess there was Halo 3:ODST but truth be told, I didn’t like it very much, just like most of the Halo series (No way is it worth an EDGE 9/10. Their journalistic integrity must be faltering quite a bit!!). But saying something bad about the halo series is just asking for trouble and fanboy attacks which dwarf what even the Sony Defence Force could muster! But anyway, here it is! One of the biggest titles of the year, PS3 exclusive and earning plaudits everywhere… Well, almost everywhere (but that rant tips it’s toes into troll territory a fair bit). For those who have absolutely no idea, Uncharted 2 is the sequel to one of the best and most impressive early PS3 exclusive titles from back in 2007. Well, as a sequel, Uncharted 2 does what all good sequels do best, more of the same but bigger and better!! Drake and the original cast are back and have a few more friends and enemies to deal with as they tackle another mystery in a curious mix of tomb raider and your favourite indiana Jones movie!

Trying to get back into the swing of kit building but I can’t apply too much force to my right wrist still, which limits the effectiveness of sanding. But that’s not to say that I haven’t been doing *anything*!! Here’s what I’ve been currently working on. Afterall, Gunpla building isn’t quite as strenuous as a full on GK build…
Yup, another unicorn. Rather boring, right? Well, I kinda thought so. This little number is my intended entry into the Gunpla competition organised over at figure.fm but those of you who have been reading this blog for a while may have noticed that the title lacks a “witty” one-liner which accompanies my finished works. Instead, it’s got the “project” suffix which is used for Works in progress. Guess what? it’s a WIP!! Continue reading Project: Banshee If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed! Awesome news courtesy of ngee khiong. It looks like bandai might be listening to us because they’re planning to release a MG VICTORY GUNDAM!!! Perhaps a MG V2 gundam isn’t far off?? One can only hope!
