Well, this article sounds like an awesome argument for almost purely foot-based armies in the 'new' edition of 40K.
Especially when everyone is going MECHAnical heavy. With all those tanks, speeders, dreadnoughts, flying troopships, gunships and, Gods help us, TITANS.
And almost every race now has something that is the equivalent of the Imperial Titans. So, who says that the Galaxy is unfair?
Anyways, perhaps I'll eventually dust off my old army of Wolves and unleash them across the tabletop battlegrounds of the future.
Perhaps.
... and we find my love of miniature wargames.

>>> Of mechas...
Well, being the genius that I am, I've decided to do my own SAVE JAPAN piece. So, store rules be damned, I'm going to do some designing today!
Ha!
And while searching for ideas, I came across this illo of a mecha from Zone of Enders 2. It looks pretty cool, especially with what I believe are electro-magnetic accessories (possible fin-funnels?) that are hovering around its thruster pack unit. Plus the designer has elimanated the difficult design required with feet/boot parts by removing them and giving the legs a tapered look that end in flat, slightly runneled ends. Not sure how it would stand on them, but perhaps the mecha itself is just required to operate in vacuum. Or perhaps it has, like its free floating accessories, some sort of electro-magnetic field that holds it up while standing upon them. I may try out this design idea for what I'm going to design.
I have a whole buncha ideas bouncing around in my head, they all seem great. But then, everything seems like a good idea at the time.
*chuckles*
Let's see where it goes, ey?
Wish me luck!
... and a certain rising sun.

>>> April's almost over...
*chuckles*
I'm going to keep this short since my brain is not exactly functioning at full capacity right now.
I blame my sinus rhinitis. My nose is running like a tap on a slow trickling flood of silliness.
See?
Did that even make any sense!?
*sigh*
Anyways, life's been rather quiet of late.
In more ways than one.
At least the family's moved into the "newer" place in AMK and we're slowly settling in. The Move has been insane and tempers were worn thin & fraying around our necks. Hopefully Peace decides to settle in soon, too. The unpacking is going at a snail's pace, but at least it's going along. My nose is suffering from the amount of dust that's been thrown around PLUS the way the boxes and assorted stuff are stacked is not doing my claustrophobia any favours.
*pained look*
When all's said and done, I just have to finish clearing the boxes in the boys' room and then it's a trip to the storage hub to retrieve my art books and some other stuff. After that, I have to find a way to get my clothes washed.
Why?
'Coz the washin machine hasn't been set up and I'm running out of boxers.
But you guys didn't need to know that.
Sorry.
Well, not really.
But, anyways, I'm off to do stuff.
Laters.
... and it's not much of a tragedy.

>>> In so much pain...
I'm having the worst migraine that I've ever had in the past decade by my reckoning. I'm suffering from sensory overload since everything around me is being rendered in exceptionally sharp detail. Sight, sound, smell, touch & taste [Oh, my god, I can still taste the LJS chilli sauce! XP - Dust] are all overwhelmingly clear and right about now, I want to turn off most of the lights in the store, up the temp of the A/C and hide in the fitting room till everything goes back to normal.
But I can't.
Because I have to work.
Seriously, fuck this, I really don't need it right about now.
I shouldn't even be in front of a computer screen, either.
*flat look with pain flashing like sirens in my eyes*
And thank the Gods for Van (from Red Mango), the little bundle of endless bubbly good cheer, who is such a sweetie. She bought me lunch from Long John Silver's and gave me a coupla panadol extras [That's extra strength aspirin for those from the Western Hemisphere. - Kaze] that she had in her store. She is such a savior, a veritable Gods-sent lifesaver.
Now to wait for the meds to kick in. The food has stopped the gastric pains and the hiccups [Thank you very much, Van! - Dust]. So, please, pain, go the hell away. Far, far away. Like a dozen zipcodes away kinda far away!
However, there's an upside to this whole mess.
The event that really made this day rather memorable, in a damn good way, is that I served Rui En and she bought an Obey t-shirt from the store!
Why the giggly, flushed fanboy gushing?
Confession: I used to have a mad crush on her, once upon a time, a long time ago. I still like her, but not like a crazy fanboy stalker-ish kinda thing, aiight? I'm not a creep, thanks! *laughs and the winces* Stupid migraine...
... Anyways, I didn't even know she had a wikipedia entry! *holds up a sign with "XD" on it* Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera on me so no pictures of her in the shop nor of me standing with her. *sad sigh*
Oh, well...
... can't have everything.
And now Ting-Ting is yelling at me over BBM to get my head checked 'coz my migraines are getting worse. I really should. She's right. So's Vik, and Marshmello, and Pervalidus, and a buncha other people.
Nice to know people care.
*smiles*
Well, gotta go.
More work to do.
Laters!
... and feeling like Death has come.
But I can't.
Because I have to work.
