Man, what a rough week. 😢 Tim Curry starred in the first game I ever worked on as a tester. It was a point & click PC adventure game & I remember loving his performance in it. He really seemed to take it seriously & made the experience entertaining. Rest in peace. Gonna fire this up in eXoWin3x.

With all the Duskbloods talk, I fired up Nightreign, only to realize I no longer have PS+. So that wasn’t the best time! 😅 Saros it is then, and WOW, this game is amazing. My entire afternoon melted away doing a few runs and coming to grips with its systems. I’m hooked! #videogames #housemarque

Rolled credits on PRAGMATA! Took me just shy of 18 hours, got 80% of the achievements, and 100% of the zone items. What an absolute gem! Pacing, acting, gameplay, music, graphics, and exploration are top-notch. Love how it so effectively builds a strong bond between these two. ❤️ My GOTY so far.

I don't have a big Xbox physical library anymore, but this is really cool! I can't think of any other platform that both gives you & lets you transfer digital licenses like this that are tied to a disc's ID. I'm very excited to try this out and see it in action. #microsoft #xbox #physicalgames

When this song came out in 1983, it was everywhere. It had huge crossover appeal, and both Dolly and Kenny sounded great on it. Its prechorus is absolutely beautiful too and one of my favorites. Rest in peace. ❤️ #dollyparton #kennyrogers #islandsinthestream #countrypop #80smusic

Yes! My favorite announcement from today. Along with Gundam Wing TV, the early 08th MS Team OVAs are what got me into the franchise back in the day. Those series planted the seeds that would lead me to start building Gunpla nearly 30 years later & be a part of this wonderful community. ❤️ #gunpla

RG Gundam Ground Type is.. unexpected, and very much welcomed!

Happy 35th birthday to the SNES here in the US! The 16-bit generation is probably my all-time favorite. Amazing titles, no matter where you were playing, whether it be on this, the Genesis, TG-16, Neo Geo, or in arcades. It was a magical time. ❤️ Still have my original! #nintendo #snes #videogames

Saw this out in the wild tonight, so I decided to do what’s right and free it from its retail shelving prison. I’ve heard good things about this one. From shelf to (closet) shelf it goes! 😂 #gunpla #plamo #gundam #moongundam #manga

One of my all-time favorite end songs: Himitsu Kichi (Secret Base) from Eureka Seven. This is the textless version, since I love the way it's animated & timed so beautifully to the lyrics, which are worth checking out in English if you're unfamiliar with them. This still hits me hard. ❤️ #anime

I feel like a lot of us will be playing Kingdom Hearts today. I can't think of any better song to remember Hayden Panettiere by than Dearly Beloved. This song's beauty and melancholy immediately captivated me when I first heard it back in 2002. Rest in peace. ❤️

Finally grabbed Saros for a good price via GameFly. Although Returnal was my GOTY 2021, current circumstances (job, inflation, hardware costs, etc.) means I can’t be dropping $70+ on games, which I rarely did to begin with. Anyway, looking forward to starting this after Pragmata! #videogames #ps5

Sorry for the lack of Gunpla updates, but I've been having a good time with games again recently, so I'm going to keep the momentum going with Capcom's Pragmata. I bought this around launch, but am just getting around to starting it now. Can't rush into these things, right? 😅 #videogames #pcgaming

1/2: Finished Beast of Reincarnation today! 28 hours, 26/46 trophies. Not going for the plat. I think they really nailed the combat feel, exploration's fun, the OST is excellent, and the story was engaging. Actual enemy/boss variety left me wanting though, and the slow pacing at times hurt.

Share your 4 comfort movies 🎥 I could probably list a hundred (or two) more…

Randomly started up 2001: A Space Odyssey last night while exercising, and I gotta say, just its title card with the visuals & music pushed my emotions over the edge. I find this happening a lot more often as I get older. I think I'll have to properly sit down and watch this again in its entirety.

This is a future I don't want any part of. We've already cancelled a lot of streaming subscriptions over the past year+, opting for actual purchases instead, mostly physical if they exist. Call me crazy, but I enjoy owning things. I don't see Nintendo ever doing this. Not in my lifetime anyway.

Folks fighting a long lost battle over discs while a push to shift away from owned devices to cloud where no one owns anything at all is starting to play out in real time...

My wife was going to sell her old curio cabinet, but with me already out of space in my own, I was happy to inherit this for more models. 😁 Not sure how I want to organize everything yet, so I just started with my non-Gundam kits. I like the light/mirrors! #gunpla #plamo #curio #anime #videogames

Been seeing lots of Asuka posts tonight for some reason, so here's a picture of her that I drew back in 1997. This is based on one of the Carddass Master series collectible cards from that era. Tria markers and Rapidograph pens on Letramax. #evangelion #asuka #anime #art #drawing #physicalmedia

Several hours in, Beast of Reincarnation’s been cool so far! There’s definitely room for some QoL & performance improvements, but the core of what’s here is good. While there are soulslike touches here & there, it definitely leans more into character action. Heavy Nier & Ghibli influences too.

I’ll be starting the MG Jegan soon! I’ve been playing Beast of Reincarnation today (which some of my friends worked on), so that’s been taking up most of my time. It’s a little rough around the edges, but I’m still enjoying it quite a bit. Anyway, this looks like another fun build! #gunpla #plamo

Finished my HG Kobu-Kai tonight! This kit needed quite a bit of color correction to match the box & manual images, but it wasn't too bad. The fingers were a little tedious, but I dig the way the sword looks w/ the gold & red accents. Panel lining the rivets was fun too! #plamo #sakurataisen #sega

My next build is the HG Kobu-Kai (Sakura Shinguji Type) from Sakura Taisen 2. The original game on the Sega Saturn is one of my all-time favorites! I am NOT a painter by any means, but I did what I could with the limited tools I have, and I think she turned out OK! 😅 #plamo #sega #videogames

My HG RX-78-2 Beyond Global is done! Super fun build that manages to impress & feel unique, which is saying a lot given how many Gramps kits there are. This was the last of these in my backlog, but I’d still like to get the MG Origin at some point. Anyway, hope you like it! #gunpla #plamo #anime

This *is* living. 🎮

We listened to this audiobook during our drive to/from California. It’s a wonderfully funny & beautiful book that had me laughing just as much as it had me crying. Currently listening to it a second time because I enjoyed it so much. We bought the paperback for our bookcase too. #books #reading

Haven’t posted much lately since my wife and I have been vacationing in Southern California. I’ve been surprisingly “disciplined” when it comes to visiting the various hobby shops here, so probably no new kits on this trip, but the coastal views sure have been nice!

Grabbed a Hatsune Miku pin and some stickers from our favorite macaron spot Honey & Butter. #hatsunemiku #honeyandbutter #macarons #dessert #enamelpins #stickers

Build #14: RE/100 Vigna-Ghina II [Jupiter Battle Ver.] Completed: 3 Mar 2025 Rating: B A good friend of mine generously gifted me this P-Bandai kit last year. It has some really loose joints and the red is a LOT, but topcoating it really makes it pop. Pardon the dust. 😅 #gunpla #plamo

Bought this over a year ago, and since I've been enjoying kits based on the older mobile suit designs lately, I think I'll keep that going with another one of Gramps. The muted blue, red, and yellow tones are throwing me off a little bit, but I'll withhold judgment until I'm done. 😊 #gunpla #plamo

HG Dom Test Type done! But! Apparently the humidity today was a bit too high & well, my topcoat clouded over. First time that’s ever happened! Instead of panic, I resprayed the parts I topcoated the other day to “match”. 🤭 Kinda looks intentional. That’s what I’m telling myself anyway. 😂 #gunpla
