Dudeeee, the way his posture changed before dropping the crutches. Incredible!
My personality circa 2002:
π€π€
Can I get a ZEONG YEAH!?
What really gets me about finally starting Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is not the "What if we just made Top Gun in the Gundam universe" energy of the show but that none other than Miki "STAY WITH ME" Matsubara sings the theme song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJeU...
Also, I just realized I never closed the loop on my Zeta build. It turned out solid! It took some finagling to get the red on the rear wave rider wings, but it got there eventually!
HI, I BUILT ONE OF THE BADDIES.
Enjoy.
(And go watch Zeta Gundam, plz)
Incredible. I'm absolutely gutted.
OH YES, of course, what was I thinking.
I finally got to the second OP in Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta, and this shot instantly got me laughing. CHAR, WHATCHU SCHEMING, BUDDY:
ORE WA RAZIEL.
Greetings all, I present to you Soul Reaver 1 in Japanese.
I, uh, have been getting pretty sucked into the rabbit hole of this new hobby haha
I wanna say Iβve built all these in the span of maybe 2 months? Building and painting kits is CATHARTIC and shockingly helpful for my mental health! Absolutely love it.
Current Build:
I really loved building this one! It had a lot of fun color correcting challenges that required me to think a bit outside the box! It also really tested my skills with painting miniature pieces π
It is finished.
Same! My oldest brother always hyped them up when I was a wee lad, but he never owned any of their albums. So, when we went to our local Target, we tried looking and saw this album promoted front and center at the endcap when we walked in! I listened to it so much on my CD Walkman. So frickin' good!
Brilliant album!
WHOOOOOOOAHHHHHHHHH.
ADRENALINE IN MY SOUL.
EVERY FIGHT OUT OF CONTROL.
DO IT ALL TO GET THEM OFF THEIR FEET.
CROWD IS HERE, ABOUT TO BLOW.
WAITIN' FOR ME TO START THE SHOW.
OUT THE CURTAIN, LIGHTS GO UP, I'M HOMEEE.
Ending my tenure, dancing to Yakuza 0's "Friday Night" at the end of that morning meeting is probably my only true claim to fame working at GameSpot.
(Credit to @jeanluc.bsky.social for capturing the moment unbeknownst to me at the time haha)
I adore video games and everything about them. I'm also into other stuff I'd love to share with folks. So, if you're okay with a dude posting about things like the artistic genius of DQ Slimes, City Pop, the importance of mental health, and why Part 4 is the best Jojo arc, you're in the right place!
Oh, I should probably give newer followers context as to who I am. I'm Matt EspinelI! I used to work at GameSpot for 7 years as their Features/Guides Editor. But in 2021, I moved to a consulting agency called Off Base Productions, where I write and manage all sorts of stuff on their Editorial team!
Hey, thatβs half of a Big O!
Wow, I had not realized youβve been doing this for the literal past month haha. Pardon the sudden onslaught of likes. I only realized like 20+ in. BUT WELL, I shall continue my onslaught on the remaining entries when time permits!
Iβm making a starter pack of editors who commission work at various video game outlets.
If you see someone is missing or would like be removed from it yourself, let me know. go.bsky.app/MSCEw2X
Not so much progress tonight cuz of errands and recovery group, but that arm is starting to come together!
Oh gosh, Iβve been totally sucked into this hobby. Someone plz send help.
Ending the night off with some amateur model kit builder vibes.
βBut I will never join forces with a wannabe Roman Reigns.β
OHOHOHOHO.
Awwww man, he said no tho. But WHAT IF he says yes laterrrr.
