2: Company you’re always loyal to?

At first I was completely loyal to Sega… talking about consoles, It even took me ages to buy a SNES because I couldn’t betray Sega. The only NES game I allowed myself to play was Megaman and I hated Mario so much ugh. Back to the companies, after that I became a SNK (the future is now) fanatic and I only played SNK fighting games specially Samurai Shodown 2 and KoF 95 - they were my fav. Also there was Squaresoft (way before enix fusion, pls) because of FF series basically.

7: A game you’ll never forget?

So many… if I have to choose just one it would probably be Phantasy Star.

17: What game do you never tell people you play?

Klim Nick is both love and life.

That was fast and it looks awesome. Awesome job!

Actually that was one of my slower builds, mainly because I kept getting distracted by the internet last night

Looks awesome. Keep at it. Titans colors are the best colors lol.

Yeah. I have both versions of the RG, but the Titans colors version is missing it's v-fin, and I didn't want to build the same model a third time, so that's part of why I got the MG. After I got the MG-esque 1/20th scale Scopedog, MGs finally sort of clicked with me. Before that, I had only built the MG Crossbone, which I built back in high-school when I was fucking terrible at Gunpla (I was removing parts from the trees with my fingers), and the MG Zeta Plus, which I like, but it's on the older side and it has some flaws. The point is, neither of them made a strong enough impression on me to really make me want to spend the money to get more MGs, especially since I had leanings towards the 1/144th scale.

Anyways, when I got the Scopedog, that sort of showed me what a good MG is like, and so naturally I wanted more of them. I got the Mk II because it would allow me to have my preferred version of the Mk II in my collection again without having to build the same model twice.

Even though I've only built a bit of it, i have to say I might like the MG a bit more than the RG, even though the RG has better articulation and more advanced molding techniques. I think the two models are trying to accomplish different things, an I think I like what the MG is trying to accomplish more. The RG is trying to be a modernized, more detailed Mk II, and it does a really good job at that, whereas the MG feels like it's trying to really capture what was on screen, and honestly, I think that's more what I want.

if I may digress even further, when I first ordered it, I was thinking of making it a long term collecting goal to eventually get all the Zeta MGs they made, but then I realized there was a huge pastel-yellow elephant in the room.

The O

The damn thing is fucking huge and it costs 12000 yen, and honestly, it doesn't seem like it's worth it. The Sazabi Ver Ka is around the same size, looks to be much more complex, and is 3000 yen cheaper. That makes it really hard to justify The O.

I'm excited to see it built.

Well I have a no idea if it's actually gonna get here today or not. I ordered it from a Japanese seller on Amazon with standard shipping, and it didn't include tracking. I'm just going off the fact that it shipped 2 weeks ago, and I've found packages from Japan typically take 2 weeks to get here. Amazon's estimate says it won't be here until at least the 17th, but I've found they tend to overshoot their estimates, especially on international packages.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

Woah, don't say that. Never say stuff like that. If you need help and are actually feeling that way please let somebody know. Hang in there!

I've never acted on these urges before, so I doubt I'm going to now. Still, it can be really hard sometimes. Sometimes the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I know my family wouldn't be able to handle it. Still, I end up feel like I'm only living for other people, and not for myself. I don't always feel like I have much to live for and I can't seem to figure out how to get my life on track. I'm wondering more and more if I should talk to a professional. The thing is, I'm sort of afraid to. I feel like I might be kind of reluctant to open up to the degree necessary. I'm also not always a great verbal communicator, particularly with people I've never met before. And finally there's the factor of my Asperger's Syndrome. I'm so afraid of being dismissed as just another depressed, hopeless Aspie.
