Matricians: Show Your Stuff! (lots of images)

[MOX]

Atleast the Gurren looks like a cool toy.

Sweep your shelf though!

[preventerWIND]

You do it.

[Johncarllos]

Do want the Gurren Lagann.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I don't.

Revoltech usually makes better quality than that.

That's an ugly-ass MegaMan action figure.

It's supposed to be X. And it's not as bad as the ones we've had in our store, which were made up (or manga...) armors. I always to take a photo of them one day and show, but never got around to it. Maybe I will on friday if we still have some.

[ASR]

I meant "MegaMan action figure" as in a general term for MegaMan-themed action figures. I knew it was X.

The ONLY MegaMan figures I like are the Retro-Roto ones I have. Those are awesome.

I'm not a big action figure guy, but I have all but one of the Retro-Roto line, and a huge 10 inch light-up Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide that is my pride and joy. The ONLY other action figure I'd ever buy is that really cool Shaun of the Dead one modeled after his pose on the DVD case, holding his cricket bat in front of him.

[Mikero]

He have small and big ones of those. I wanted to get the small one for a long time but I never bothered.

I've gotten a few things of my favourite heroes, but I'm not really into action figures anymore. Ones I have i either got back in the day or as a gift (friend gave me a Luke Cage action fig for Christmas one year). I'm more into busts and statues, but even then I'm not really. I have like one bust (Cage, again) and there's a Supergirl one I want but can't find.

I've bought a McFarlane Sports figure (which is really a small statue) of Kevin Garnett from the Boston Celtics and am fitting to get another player. I also have a statue of ReBoot's Glitch-Bob. Other than that I'm not really interested in the stuff unless I see something really well made (like the Supergirl bust I want, and the Cage bust I have). I generally don't care that it's a character I like or anything if the quality isn't above average.

Those are the same model kits as the one I have. I like them a lot more than the Jazwares acion figures.

Also, the GL revoltech is top notch, and they also had one at my SS, but it was cheaper at the store down the road.

[Johncarllos]

Aw, what a cute kitty.

[preventerWIND]

Why's that cat in a bowl? Goddamn JC, does your hunger ever stop!? I bet you'd drop a few pounds if you eliminated live animals from your diet.

[Johncarllos]

It's a basket silly.
He lays in it on his own.
We wash it out and try putting fruit in it? He sleeps on the fruit or pushes it out of the basket.
Unless it's bananas, then he chews on them.
Quite a silly cat.

[preventerWIND]

John has a silly cat
if it tried to chew on my food
i'd hit it with a steel bat

[ASR]

Remind me to never eat any fruit that JC offers me.

"Are those teeth marks?"
"Huh-OH NO, NO, THESE ARE SPECIAL BANANAS. THEY GROW LIKE THAT. WITH TEETH MARKS."

[Mikero]

Cats aren't stuff, you asshole.

Also that cat looks VERY similar to my old cat, who died. :-(

[ASR]

That's not a cat... THAT'S A CHAT!

[Mikero]

I speak French because I'm better than yoooou!! But that is bad 11-year old Mike French, as it's supposed to say "mon chat".

[ASR]

I honestly didn't know it was supposed to be French, I thought it was just silly writing.

Anyway, yeah, the resemblance is uncanny, but then again, lots of animals look like each other.

[preventerWIND]

I lol'd at "ma chat"

[Mikero]

Go French Immersion.

Uhffff.

[preventerWIND]

I passed Gr.9 French with a 52, go me.

[Johncarllos]

Your cat was much fluffier.
Tom is a very laid back cat. Fun though.

[Mikero]

I mean pattern-wise, 'cause yeah Fatches was a fluffy one.

[Johncarllos]

Well yes, very similar fur pattern.
Course, that appears to be an outdoor cat in Canada.
Tom is a house cat, he is exposed to less cold and thus would have a shorter coat anyways.

[Mikero]

He was a house cat that we'd let out. Even so, that was just in our yard when we moved, and it was summer.

[Johncarllos]

My cat Butterscotch was sick, we let him outside for a minute one day to see what he'd do, and he just laid in the yard all day, maybe climb some trees.
NEVER left the yard.
We live in the city, he could have gone anywhere.
He just laid around or chased butterflies all day.
THEN HE DIED A FEW MONTHS LATER.

[Mikero]

My cat beat up bigger cats. I saw him. He fought dirty.

He only came home hurt once. And once he was gone for like a week and I lost my ##### over it.

[Fatso]

I passed Gr.9 French with a 52, go me.

Come on! I mean, French sucks and all, but it's a bloody EASY CLASS! If you can't get As...

[Mikero]

Maybe applied French is easy. Extended French and French Immersion are totally different. Extended is only sporadically offered, and in Immersion you have to be MORE fluent than actual French people, since it's drilled into you since kindergarten.

[Fatso]

Having never even heard of Extended French and being somewhat neutral to French Immersion (though I went to an immersion high school, I had no interest whatsoever in taking any immersion courses, and like I said earlier French is 95% useless in BC) I can do naught but shrug.

I also think my perception is warped a bit by the fact that school in general is easy for me. If I get a B, it's because I didn't try.

[Johncarllos]

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

[ASR]

If I don't try I get a D.

[Johncarllos]

One thing I loved about high school, for the first 3 years I was addicted to following the rubrics, and I got great grades. This year, I realized that putting forth half an hour's worth of effort into a 2 hour project still got me a mid B instead of a 95-100.

My grades were on average not as good this year.

[Mikero]

The other day I almost got 5 new green shirts. But I just held myself back and got 2 and a pair of green and white board shorts instead.

[ASR]

Sounds like you're... GREEN with envy of my wardrobe, ohoho!

[Mikero]

No I just like green.

[ASR]

I know, I just had to use that cheesy line.

[Johncarllos]

Green?

Edit: forgot to NOT make the face green.
2: the ball thing he's crouching on was green too. Fixed.

AND I forgot the rain.
*3rd edit*

[Majikn]

Oh God.

[Johncarllos]

Why not?

[ASR]

NINJAS ARE NOT COLORFUL

'TIS SOMETHING MIKE HAS TO LIVE WITH

HE CHOSE HIS PROFESSION

[Johncarllos]

Hey, it's a VERY dark green.
Great for hiding against trees.

Besides, he has like 4 different costumes at LEAST!
Canadian ninja.
It snows in Canada.
He must have a white one.
And at LEAST 2 stained white ones.

Maybe.
Green isn't that far fetched.

[preventerWIND]

m i doin it rite??

[Johncarllos]

That's one of his stained costumes.
He tried washing the blood of him victims out but it's tough.....

[preventerWIND]

laundry > ninja

[Mikero]

Actually only my dryer is a ninja, so my washing machine gets it wrong sometimes. I should get a ninja washing machine really, but I don't need to go into my basement and find my washing machine and dryer have killed each other.

John is actually on to something I hadn't mentioned before, but there actually IS multiple versions of the Mikero costume for specific missions. The snow one is my favourite of these right now. It looks kind Russian, I guess. Few of them are as simple as a colour change, really. Of course, like my good pal Spider-Man, original costume will always be the best.

[Johncarllos]

Of course.
But if you were going to not be seen at a Celtics game, you'd not be seen while wearing the green one, right?

[ASR]

He has Celtic pride! He wants to be seen at a Celtics game!

[Mikero]

ASR's got it.

Also, as a side note, I hate team bandwagoners. I literally wore my Celtics shirt on the day of almost EVERY playoff game, and only met two people other who were Celtics fans. And they were older people who got to see the team back in the glory days. And I met them on the same day.

Now all of a sudden I keep seeing young high school #####s wearing Celtics jerseys. And EVERY LAST STINKING ONE OF THEM is wearing Ray Allen's jersey. Which means they all got them somewhere in the city, and didn't go search in upstate NY like I did or buy online like I am. Which means they aren't really fans but are on the bandwagon since they're only fans now that the team won. Which means I hate them. I just LOOOVE how the amount of Celtics fans in Ottawa went from 3 to 30+ over night.

[MOX]

Recently I got a new phone that's actually from this century (i.e. has a camera) I decided to take some pictures with it. It's night right now so the pictures arent clear though changing the brightness settings helped a bit.

I'll post my other stuff some other day.

First image is my SNES which I would play if it werent for the fact Im missing one of the cords. Second image is my Wacom tablet.
