Thanks for the tips guys, going to probably start work on the thing tonight.

Also BUILD FIGHTERS YES

GUNPLA BATTLE HYPE
 
Luckily my father was kind enough to help out with bills so I'm covered for a few months, so I was "allowed" to get myself an "early birthday present"
Not quite June yet but okay

Ordered MG Freedom 2.0 off of HLJ. And some Gundam Markers from Amazon (to avoid dealing with customs if I had gotten them from HLJ).

Turns out this will be my 20th MG (and a 2.0 of my first MG). And probably my last kit for a while until I find work.

EDIT: http://pastebin.com/TmKtX3tD Alot of these I no longer have but this is my complete list of built Gunpla :p

What happened to my MG Freedom 1.0, you ask? Well...

But no really, I had left it at my home when I moved out, Dad was living with step mom, house got repo'd and everything left in it got tossed out somewhere.

Don't forget to set your GP Base.

Actually have one of those for my HG Kampfer Amazing; still need to pick up a light unit for it to make it really A-Meijin.

Also, I finished working on the decals for the Nu Gundam's shield. I fucked up the sticker for the warning text near the top of the thing, so I'll have to replace it with a different sticker that has duplicates on the sheet.

Wait a minute Sum of Zero, you actually bought all three versions of Gundam AGE?
 
MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN RE:0096 Episode 6 – Under the Mask

Compelling discussion even if Banagher kind of got over the "killed a person" thing kind of fast, though maybe thats because it was mainly the point of the episode. The time with the discussion at the dinner table witk Tikva and Marida. Banagher seems to come to life with everyone other than Audrey honestly. I hope we learn more on Marida soon too.

Angelo being emotional was fun too, hopefully he can let Banagher make amends for the wrong he already committed.

Next mission from ECOAS (they never even said what this meant) I hope wont kill all the people in Palau.

Chara was at least entertaining sometimes. Nina is in the same boat as Beecha of being frustrating to watch

She needed some kind of penalty for being a shit. But she's just there at the end to pick up Carrot boy from prison like nothing happened and that he should be happy to see her

Bandai released the MG Freedom 2.0 and that itself looks amazing. But Dragon Momoko is also making a MG Strike Noir 2.0...

Fuck gunpla is really testing me this year...

Goddess that design is hideous.

Never understood the love for Strike Noire.

Tired of SEED based DM Releases until they get to Gold Frame at least.
 
So I started SEED Destiny and there's a blonde masked man with the same voice as a blonde character that clearly died in SEED. Clearly died. As in, the wreckage of his mobile suit floated around in space along with his bloodied helmet. So there's no possible way they can say he lived through that, right? Koyasu voices a lot of Gundam characters, so it's possible, right?

Also, there's a bunch of Zakus everywhere as well. And somehow Athrun is going by a pseudonym when I assume people in his own homeland should be able to recognize the son of their former Chairman....

And Char's voice is as recognizable as ever.

Welcome to Seed Destiny. It only gets more nonsense from there.

Yo GundamGAF,


How long would you say Gundam Breaker 3 is story wise? just to get through the main story thing or w.e?


can't find the answer to this on regular google

I checked a JP wiki and it looks like there are 5 chapters in total. But after chapter 2 the chapters look to be twice as long. I've only just gotten to chapter 3 myself, but I would say from the looks of things it's probably < 10 hours long if you're just going through the story stages without any grinding. But customization is totally time consuming in the game, so that can take hours if you're into that.

Screw "Alex Dino" his code name will forever be "Cinco Labia" to me. Seed Destiny makes no damn sense, never did, never will.

The helmet was edited out in the movies. So yeah.... it's just dumb.

Navigator-chan finally getting the love she deserves /s

Sthesia had to happen eventually after the recent events in EX A.

Gonna requote to remind everyone that no matter how much you think a certain gundam series is garbage and terrible, there is always Gundam EX A.

Okay so Gundam EX A is basically a series of Gundam manga that ties in even further than Turn A does where all the parallel timelines are adjacent to one another and in EX A the universes converge and the characters interact making it "canon" in that sense because humans have started to stagnate as a civilization and is starting to break itself apart. So they make something called the General Answer plan to fix all that.

Like you'd think this would be kind of okay because you get to see all your favorite Gundam characters fight each other canon like in the EXVS game, Kira Yamato vs Banagher Links Vs Heero Yuy.

So this is Sthesia Awar, she's an AI called a Holo-Actor. She works as the navigator for the protagonist Leo Alloy and they're both really thirsty for one another even though she has no real physical body but can manifest her consciousness in one.

9wAaDKW3_400x400.jpeg


But she isn't the only Sthesia and there are multiple Sthesia being used as AI navigators across the series.

However there is another group of alternate universe Sthesia called Dark Sthesia full of batshit crazy versions with real physical bodies piloting their own gundam.

b7adbf9a2191eaca.jpg


They all exhibit different personalities parallel to the real Sthesia so Nono is a sadist, Acht is the hothead tsundere, Sesto is the gloomy one, and Primo is the happy childish one who has some connection to Elpeo Ple and falls in love with Leo.

They all pilot their own versions of Extreme Gundam and seek to alter the GA plan for their own goals. They function as bosses in the EXVS game too and they have their own batshit crazy dialogue there too.

If you thought Frozen Teardrop was bad stupid... This is a whole different level of stupid.

item_0000010352_10.jpg


Nothing has killed my brain cells even more than following Gundam EX A and the EXVS games.

It's not even just that, this is the stuff that the Dark Sthesia pilots and what's even better is that that shit isn't even their fucking final form.

The Dark Sthesia have the Extreme System like Leo does and they can power up their Gundam and turn their hair golden like Super Saiyajin too.

I'm dying from how stupid this is. it is hilarious.

I thought you were cool, Beth :(
I'm sorry!!

Seriously though I don't know what it is but I just don't care for 99% of SEED based Mecha.

Beth is Beth. She's like the one person on here that hates 95% of the Gundam franchise, minus what is now one of my favorite lesbian trash ships in Relena and Dorothy.

LOL have more Katoki and that percent wise rise I swear :)

Also don't forget I got Allenby and Rain as well.

And while I'm harsh on Gundam but the things I like I really do love.

Plus I do activity promote and champion people watching stuff like G despite my dislike of it.

She also likes Wing. Must be all the Bish&#333;nen!

While I'm also not the biggest fan of Seed it still had a few good units like the full armor Duel Gundam.

Duel Assault Shroud is great.

I also love Blue Frame L Revise and Stargazer is interesting.
 
Biggest problem I had with Seed when it was over were two things. A ton of great mech design wasted in a sub par show, and a ton of great names wasted along with it.

As much as I want to like Calamity Gundam... it's just a off green gundam with two Blastoise cannons on it. Not even the most powerful type in the series...

Yes Calamity Gundam is the things that grinds my gears a ton.

That's an interesting combo...I can't see Raine being the top there though. There's nothing really wrong with G though, it's just barely a Gundam show.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I'm playing Stellaris and trying to recreate Char's Zeon.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Zeon philosophy to determine its ethos. The race creator lets me choose from:

Militarist vs Pacifist
Spiritual vs Materialist
Collectivist vs Individualist
Xenophile vs Xenophobe

Either side has two ranks so you can be Militarist or Fanatic Militarist, for example. And you can't be Militarist and Pacifist at the same time.

So Militarist (cause gundam) and Spiritual (cause Newtypes) seems obvious. I'd think Collectivist would be compatible with Newtype ideals of empathy but then again the exultation of Newtypes is very individualist. Xenophobia/philia has to deal with how you treat other alien races and isn't really relevant to Zeon thought I think.
