Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 105 (SPOILERS)

My thoughts on Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 105:
 


It seems like part of my long-running theory was correct, and part of it was wrong. I did get right that what Hohenheim did all those chapters ago when he spilled part of his Philosopher’s Stone out into the ground was part of his plan to defeat Father, and that he would activate his plan when it seemed Father was unbeatable. However, it was not part of the reverse array after all. The question becomes, did Hohenheim always intend to make the reverse array and he just stumbled into the others working on it or did he not know about it yet until Alphonse brought him the news about it in Lior? Either way, enough of my theory was correct to make me satisfied, even though it does seem a little cheesy that he can still use the souls as active participants. read more

1/48 ‘Mega Size Model’ Gundam RX-78-2 Review


Click to Enlarge

What we have here is Bandai’s 1/48 scale Mega Size Model Gundam RX-78-2. As far as I know it’s Bandai’s largest general release kit. At 15″ tall it dwarfs even Perfect Grade kits.


Click to Enlarge

In general the kit is very simple. No internal frame, no special gadgets or gizmos. All the joints are done with poly caps which feature a unique toothed design. With these little notches the kit does a fantastic job at staying in place. Even the arm has no difficulty holding the large shield in place. read more

The Importance of Salt with Alton Brown

Recently some jackass has decided to try and regulate salt usage in NYC restaurants. Strike that, he wants an outright ban on salt.

In light of his ignorance I think it’s right to take some time and remember the importance of salt. Who better to do that than everyone’s favorite, Alton Brown.

Note, I didn’t encode this videos and upload ’em to YouTube. Don’t blame me for the shitty video quality or odd FOX theme at the beginning of some.

Dragon Ball Kai – Episode 44 Review

Episode 44, "A Physical War That Exceeds All Limits! Goku and Freeza and Ginyu, Again?!"

*****SPOILERS*****

Synopsis: Freeza asks Goku if he prefers to fight in the air or the land, and Goku choses the latter. Goku removes his weighted shirt. Freeza offers a "service": he will not fight with his hands. The two of them resume combat, with Freeza keeping up just as well for a while without his hands. However, eventually Goku’s intensity increases, and Freeza is forced to punch to defend himself. In another part of Namek, Bulma makes friends with a frog, and creates a frog-to-human communications device. However, the frog is actually Captain Ginyu, who uses his power to switch bodies with her. Ginyu then removes the device from the Bulma frog and races off to find Freeza. Freeza claims that he has not yet used half of his power and Goku thinks he’s bluffing. Freeza offers to make Goku a subordinate, but Goku turns him down. Ginyu, in Bulma’s body, as well as the frog Bulma arrive on the scene and at first fool Gohan and the others. Freeza suddenly increases his speed and easily takes the advantage. Gohan and the group catch on that Bulma isn’t herself. read more

Unicorn Gundam Decals, Damn You Globaltoy

I ordered some grey Unicorn Gundam decals for use on my upcoming Banshee conversion. They’ve arrived, and I’m not happy.

This is the image used by the eBay seller,

This is closer to the actual color,

Completely different colors, won’t go with my color scheme at all. Fucking hell, they’d better refund my money.
