I'm not getting the Edifice

I thought of dropping off a comment at the casio edifice post. but then making a new post on it seems much appropriate when i've decided NOT to get that particular watch.

The watch looks really good, no argues about it. But when it's strapped on my wrist, it grows bigger! yes, the watch is a giant for asian wrist. plus not to mention the full stainless steel construction of the watch and metal strap. wearing the watch is like strapping a brick to the wrist. it is in fact heavier then the cheap rolex knockoff that i owned many years ago. and having a lightweight watch strapped to my wrist for the past two years, i've gotten sensitive to how a watch should weight.

time to look for a full aluminum constructed watch.

SWATCH?

Doom Revisited

I've already uninstalled Diablo 2 and installed this instead XD



The good ol doom. Enhanced with full 3D engine. no more 2d sprites causing headache and nausea. and it has mouse look too!

Yeah, i'm getting nostalgic, replaying old games that i grew up with.

Gundam OO Anime series

After what I heard some friends say about the latest Gundam anime series - Gundam OO, I went ahead and watched the full first season of it. And I have only one thing to say - It is GOOD!

The storyline is much tighter than Gundam Seed Destiny (the only other Gundam series I watched. Haha). And the graphics and animation is just amazingly done as compared to the older series'. I even like the fact that all the mechas are unique in some way (but some Gundam hardcore fans might disagree as some say Gundam OO is a bit too 'altered' from the original series').

Gundam OO season 2 is currently airing in Japan, and I'll try to watch it one by one once I find time.



And because of this series, it has sparked my love for Gundams! Of course, I was always interested in their model kits for quite a long time, but this gave it the push that was needed.

Recently, went to Famitoys @ Kota Damansara. Prices are competitive and the boss there is very nice. This is the keychain that I bought recently. It's supposed to be an original. Costs RM10. Cute, huh?



This is the rest of the Gundams:
- 1/100 OverFlag (one of the modified Flag mecha units in Gundam 00)
- SD BB Gundam Exia (Gundam Exia is the star mecha in the series. He's melee-focused which is why I love him!)
- Black Action Base (to be used with the OverFlag once I've completed it)



For now, I'll just start very slowly I guess. The BAKUC 2009 will be coming in June 2009 so I guess I have about 6 months more to prepare for it!
