Matricians: Show Your Stuff! (lots of images)

[ASR]

I like simple.

Hence one of my own cartoon characters being named Alan Simple and starring in a comic called The Simple Complex.

[Mikero]

I like simple too, but I like quality more. It's so crap that there's barely any decent MM fig sets. Not that I'd buy them if there were, I think.

[Orange Devil]

I dunno, after all those #### Megaman toys that they've been pumping out I like these. Yes, they are simple. Simple enough to the point that they look like the characters. And they actually have alot of joints too. The wrists move...

I'm also a big fan of Vinyl or Vinyl esque toys.

[ASR]

These are good quality, Mike. I promise. That Command Mission X one and the MMZ one I have are not good quality, but they're made by the same company.

All the Retro-Roto ones, though, are. And that Rush one, that's probably the best quality one of out the bunch.

Today is Senior Skip Day, so my parents let me sleep in, and allowed me to wake up with the greatest graduation present ever sitting on my desk.

Well, not the greatest ever, but you can imagine that I am deeply, deeply gracious for this.

It costs $200, for crying out loud, and this will last me the entire summer's worth of any downtime I have.

[preventerWIND]

Woah! Thats SICK! hah, the fridge and everything, thats so COL! 

[ASR]

It's the best quality DVD-collection I've ever laid eyes on. The DVD-"pages" are genious and should be utilized more often.

Also, The Coffee Table Book is very, very nice.

[preventerWIND]

Also, The Coffee Table Book is very, very nice.

LOL #####ING BOSS!

[ChaosVortex]

I don't like Seinfeld, but I must admit that's a neat looking collection.

[Johncarllos]

If I liked Seinfeld I'd cream myself over that.

[Xzeemo]

O.O That's awesome.

[Mikero]

That's really dope. I love Seinfeld probably as much as you do, and would love to have it on DVD but could never buy it myself since it's on TV 24/7.

If the Coffee Table Book doesn't become a coffee table then it's a failure.

[ASR]

Agreed.

And yeah, Mike, the reason I hadn't bought any seasons on DVD before this was because of that same reason.

[Orange Devil]

Dork alert

[ASR]

What a loser.

[Johncarllos]

Completely.

[ASR]

So, I've had this 10" Marvin figure in a box since the 2005 movie came out. It's been on my desk and for some reason I just never opened it.

Like, it's not worth anything special, but it is a really cool 10" model and I like it. Plus, the eyes light up.

Now, I've posted a picture of it before, but still in the box.

Anyway, my friend Angela opened it when I wasn't in my room, and probably did god-knows-what-else to some other stuff, but in the end I'm glad it's finally open. I love it even more now.

[Johncarllos]

Dawwwwww, so CUTE!

[Mikero]

Ew, robot love.

[ASR]

It's not as bad as GutsMan in these old pictures! (Look, Marvin still in the box, whoah, crazy)

[Lunchebox]

I still say Marvin looked way to cute in that movie.

The rest of the movie was also not that great.

[ASR]

As an enormous Hitchhiker's fan, I'm still not a big fan of the movie. But I don't hate it.

[Orange Devil]

New longboard. Sector 9 Carvin 9er.

[Mikero]

For whatever reason, longboard kids always piss me off.

[ASR]

I want an electric skateboard.

It's like surfing on pavement.

[Mikero]

EXCERCISE INSTEAD, FATBUM.

[ASR]

I'M SKINNY AND SOMEWHAT STRONG SO I WANT AN ELECTRIC SKATEBOARD

[Orange Devil]

For whatever reason, longboard kids always piss me off.

You skateboard, don't you.

The thing is, Skateboard kids hate longboard kids because they think they are trying to be like them. But were not. Longboards are for crusing, for relaxing, for going fast and getting around. Skateboards are for tricks and such.

Then again, skateboard kids usually hate everyone that isn't them.

SNOWBOARD KIDS on the other hand...

[Mikero]

No, I used to skateboard. But I do understand longboards and don't think it's just poser skaters (of which I've met every type). I just think the actual longboards look gay. The idea behind them is fine, I mean they're really just like longer versions of the original skateboards from back in the day. Same wheels and all.

[Abominator]

Longboards do look exceptionally gay, just like longjohns and long... johns.

[Johncarllos]

You makin funna my hight?

Ooooh, wait, do you mean long toilets?
Damn johns....

[Mikero]

No meant really tall men who frequently uses the Souf Landan prozzies.

[Abominator]

It's SAARF!

[Slugkid]

I used a skateboard to get around like, the whole last year. But I never learnt any trick but manual. I don't even know how to damn Ollie!

Now I have a bicycle.

[ASR]

I still have my old Razor Scooters that I've mentioned here several times, and I'm bringing one to college because I think it would be a fun form of transportation.

[ChaosVortex]

I don't use any wheels but a car and a bike. Mostly a car now.

I used to have a skateboard when I was little, 'cause I got in a weird skating craze when I was younger after playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and thinking it was the #####.

I couldn't even manage to balance on the damn thing. I never bothered skateboarding again.

[ASR]

I'm not bringing my car to college so I'm just bringing a bike and a scooter.

[ChaosVortex]

I did manage to get an old Razor Scooter during my middle school years, but the wheels are so beat up 'cause I rode it to my friend's houses on gravel and such. It didn't want to be portable anymore either. I don't know what happened to it, but I don't really care. It was cool to have back then.

[ASR]

I have a blue one because I wanted a green one and they were sold out, so I settled for blue.

It's so old now that the wheels have turned from blue to green. The handlebars are still blue, but I'm halfway there.

Now I have a bicycle.

An ollie is apparently harder than a kickflip so most people learn to kickflip first. I never got the hang of a decent kickflip (I could do a pretty balls one) but I mastered doing a pop shove-it like right away. When I was a kid I had a basically double thick deck so now I have a high ollie, high enough that the board goes out of control in the air and is difficult to land if I do it too hard.

I rollerblade for cardio and [extremely beyond rarely] to get around these days, though. I generally walk/bus or drive (if I need to, because I'm pro-Earth).

A friend I had got an orange and chrome Razor scooter when she was in Australia, before Razors came out and exploded in North America.

[ASR]

That's pretty cool, actually.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I'm not bringing my car to college so I'm just bringing a bike and a scooter.

I thought I was the only one. >_>

Except, I don't have a car.

But I'll be using a bike.

[ASR]

Oh, I have a car. I like it and I want to bring it.

My parents won't let me, though.

[Johncarllos]

So I figured I'd shoe off some of my new stuff, like the Zune (with a picture of MChat on it , my wireless router (on the printer), my whole awards wall and the layout of my room in general. As well as my new watch that I got as an award for getting 9 Varsity letters in High School.

Posted on: June 12, 2008, 03:00:11 PM

And the watch.

Posted on: June 12, 2008, 03:04:07 PM

Holy crap those are massive.
Sorry 'bout that.
My sister's camera quality goes-
Lowest- 640x480
Standard- 2048x1536,
High- 40sumthing by 20something.

It's stupid.
There's NO middle setting for a simple 10x8

[preventerWIND]

Cool watch, I remember getting one like that for my elementary graduation, it still does not fit to this day.

[Johncarllos]

It's set to "huge" and fits my wrist perfectly.

[Chron]

I've been away for a few reasons. One was focusing on work to get myself a shiny new degree, pictured here, signed by governor Charlie Christ.
Not sure why. I'm smarter than he is.

Maybe signing that piece of paper was his concession to that fact or something.

Also included here is my Box-o-Stuff. Originally this kept me occupied at the university, until I discovered I never used my TV, PS2 or GameCube. So this box pretty much stayed at home and wasn't used unless I was visiting.

Yes, Black is a #####ty game.
It's only good to play if you cheat miserably, and even then it gets old fast.

That VGA cable is extra. Has a VGA/DVI adapter on one end. If anyone wants that they can have it or something.

Bonus points if you can identify the unlabeled games.
Ignore the #####ty card.
Sometimes I find things in my room and don't understand why they got there. The paper with squiggles on it is also an example.

I may have to take a picture of my PC at some point, but the room that was once mine has been transformed into a mildly girly looking guest room.
As such Behemoth will not look proper.

I'm working on getting a job now. No idea what will happen.

By the way, JC, that watch is nice. I used to have one like it; the brand is good.

[Johncarllos]

Wait, my laptop has a VGA connector on it, what exactly does it do?
If I can use it I'll pay for the shipping.

[Chron]

That was mostly a joke.
It's for hooking a computer up to a monitor. Does the same thing with your laptop, in case you wanted it hooked up to a bigger monitor.

[Johncarllos]

*idiot*
Hurr, it's the DVI I'm curious about.
I know what a VGA connector is.

Nevermind.
I'm entirely retarded right now.

Posted on: June 12, 2008, 05:14:48 PM

Also, that watch IS sweet.
Though it's the cheapest watch they make, 130 bucks.
It was free, no complaining here.

[Mikero]

You know, I wish I had more certificate or plaque awards. I have a couple... somewhere... But I generally have medals and trophies instead, which are stupidly unmanageable at times. Not like putting it up on the wall and that's that.

Also, good job sportsfan.
