Hier j'ai vu l'entrevue de Marie Eykel aux Francs Tireurs. C'etait un baume pour mon petit coeur de fillette.
Alors me voici encore dans une de ces crises existantielle qui me sont si cheres. Qu'est-ce que j'attends pour faire tout ce que j'ai a faire de ma vie, bordel!?!?!?!

9/5/2006 - Not fair

Posted by Neneuche
It's never my turn. I'm always average and almost there but not quite. Meh.
There's this "Alumni" show at my old school and my friend was selected and I wasn't. Makes me quite more sad than I would have tought. I mean, it's just a little something to show stuff from people who used to be students there, but I make a living doing what I learned in school; so why not me? I know, I'm probably just complaining for nothing and it could be worst and stuff, and it's true.
But I still feel like a piece of shit. I'm never best at anything. I'm at best above average. And in the bottom of that selection. And in this case, not even close.
Bitter you say? You bet your sweet ass.
Here are some sketchies.

8/31/2006 - OH No they di'nt!!!??

Posted by Neneuche
I learned last night that 2 of my friends are getting a divorce. They were the model familly, married for 7 years, a little boy and a baby girl, bought a house recently and Little boy is starting the first grade.
But it's all over.
I feel so sorry for the kid. The baby will be fine; she's a baby, she won't understand. It still sucks, but it's bearable. But the boy is starting school and is 6 years old. He's in bad shape apparently. I just want to hug him. I haven't seen them since last month. Everything looked fine. But it's bad enough that they've gotten lawyers involved. They're both great parents, at least they were, so why can't they try to settle this without getting nasty?
When a little boy of 6 years thinks life is shit, then it's not worth any amount of money. He'll be fine in the long run, but it's probably still going to leave an ugly scar on his fragile little heart.
This sucks.

WOOOOOH!!!!
I drew this on OC at lunch. We were 4 today on it. The other's stuff is pretty great. the theme was " Demon Bunny from Outer Space". But I got in halfway through lunch and not only didn't I finish my drawing, I didn't do a space bunny either. Oh, well...

8/22/2006 - The sad homeless man

Posted by Neneuche
Yesterday, we went to get a few groceries at the store. There was this very opiniated older gentleman who started ranting to us how Ontario is much nicer and we Quebeckers don't have a backbone. "En Ontario, on paye ben moins de taxes! On se fait manger la laine sur le dos icitte!"
We had a hard time getting rid of him. I felt bad; he's probably just lonely and picks up human contact where ever he can.
And then as we left, after paying our stuff, there was this really friendly looking homeless man, skinny and dirty but with a gentle smile, that asked for some change. I didn't have my purse and Marc-Andre rummaged through his pockets for some change. He tought he had some but it turned out it was a bunch of guitar picks. So, feeling lame with our groceries and nothing to give a poor hungry man, we left the store. Then Marc-Andre tought about going to a bank machine to take out some cash and give him something. We didn't see one so instead we went to a pharmacy and bought something using interac. That way, Marc-Andre was able to take out some money without paying stupid atm fees.
We were away for 10 minutes at the most. But when we returned to the grocery store, the homeless man was gone. We drove around the parking lot trying to find him but with no luck.
So we went home and had a very bitter-sweet diner.

8/22/2006 - Happy Tigers & Vegas

Posted by Tiramisue

Hi hi!! I have some amazing news:
TOYBOX SAFARI  has just launched today!! :D 


Timid Tiger Dream Pet
"Rrrraaaaarrr!!!"

Please head on over and take a look!  If you're as obsessed with odd vintage toys as i am..then you're gonna want to check in often.  TBS will be updated very frequently with it's multiple authors!  It'll feature tons and TONS of photos, stories, drawings; even VIDEO... of rarely-seen toys; both vintage and modern.  'Help spread the word, and give us a link :)



I'm over-due for a new DS game. 'Either finished or got bored with the ones i have! 
Fox StickerIt's "Happy Starfox Day" on the 28th. I'm not ultra-excited...but
the Wi-Fi mode could be fun :D  The last few installments of this franchise have been pretty dull...from SF64 on...(( though i still bought them all  :P ))  Nintendo can put their name on a half-eaten moldy mayonnaise sandwich in the trash and i would still buy it. 
....Ask anyone.

Here are some more life-accomplishments:
life accomplishments
....next: the Matterhorn



*LAS VEGAS 2006*  'Awesome time, as always....
card shark!  hahaha

  This year, we kinda planned our trip around the Fabulous Fantasy Pinball 10th Anniversary Show... which was held at the Plaza casino in downtown LV.  Fun!
Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!  I'm positive the nerds scored more that weekend than any high-rollin' -young billionaire with money coming out of his ass....

i scored

...we didn't play as much pinball, actually.  Me... i was glued to the Mr. Do machine  :)  The Canadian champion was there at this thing.....and whoa... i've NEVER seen anyone so skilled in my life!!  'Saw him beat Twilight Zone.  That ,alone, was well worth the price of admission!  :D

We stayed at the Plaza for two nights, and the Mirage two nights.

Our pal, "Disney" joined us the next day.  While him and Rob played blackjack for 94593574563 hours, i went out exploring.  'Met some really nice roller derby girls and watched them beat the shit out of eachother!  Man...they fall pretty hard alot of the time... scrape up their legs ...but then get right back up like it's nothing.  'Wish i was that tough. 

The Wynn Buffet: Does it live up to it's hype?  Well... i can say this:  unlimited king crab legs and prime rib is EXTREMELY satisfying...even when paying $34.00 a person.  One thing that stood out: the food was arranged real nice along the buffet.... 'kinda artsy, if you can imagine.  I didn't get very far in my documentation 'cause the prime rib nazi told me photography was not allowed.  :P  Man...getting yelled at by a man wearing a floppy white hat is pretty pathetic.  Oh well... here.  You get the idea:
wynn buffet

Bottom line: Huge variety at this buffet, including juicy med-rare cuts of PR and king crab legs; unusual decor; artistic food presentation; expensive as fuck.  There's a waaay cheaper alt if you only care about the seafood... "Freemont"'s Seafood Special Buffet is just $16.99....and they have the SAME crabs; though no steak. 

On to Circus Circus: Ok... have any of you guys heard of an arcade machine called "The Stacker"?  'Cause holy crap...i had my first encounter with this pile of shit, and let me tell you.............UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

The object is to line up a bunch of scrolling red lights; row after row; stacking them up to the top of the display screen until you reach a "prize line".  If you reach the first prize line, you can choose to end your game with a small crappy prize (( like a keychain, or a hacky-sac ))...OR you can continue playing, go for prize line #2...and win something a little better...  Like an I-Pod Shuffle or a Gameboy Advance SP. 

NOW.. i have really good reflexes.  I had absolutely no problem AT ALL clearing my way to the very last move
on every single game i played before a grand prize item would be awarded. I go to lock the lights into place on the last move, and i SWEAR i've got the timing right, ....and that's when the damn machine yells "OH NO!!!!!" and the sad noises play!!

I had my "WTF" face on for $7.00 worth of plays @ 0.50 a shot.  o.0

'Like the Wiki entry states...and this is just too true: you get hooked...'cause you think you're sooo damn close to winning a cool ass $100 prize...but this crapfest is RIGGED! 'Timing on the last shot is off!!

 AVOID-AVOID-AVOID-AVOID!!

Well... i opened with a tiger, and now i'm gonna end with a tiger.  Here's the bad-boy who turned Roy into a pez-despenser.  ...ok he's not THE tiger, but it's his friend.  :)

'Are you still reading this?  o.0  ...damn.

8/18/2006 - the Breakfast Queen & Comicon 2006!!

Posted by Tiramisue

Hey look!  It's August!  Who wants to kick my slacker ass??  :P  'Sorry....  I guess i was stalling so that i could incorporate some news regarding 2 website launches.  Some of you may already know about this.... but for those who don't:  YES: 2 new and exciting web projects to be launched very, very soon.  So, here's what i've been up to  :)  ....

My sister flew in from NJ for a week-long slumber party at my apartment. 
Here she is in all her sky-high french toast-eating glory.  (( And yes, she totally killed that mountain of balanced breakfast.  :D  She doesn't mess around. ))  She brought along her friend, Jade.  And in case you're wondering, Niles did NOT maul anyone....which is a damn miracle!

Some adventures:
We took her to Nine Thirty at the W Hotel in Westwood; the most "LA" restaurant we could think of...  (( *stock-photo alert* ))


...it's got some very 'hip' decor, and food is excellent...though expensive.  **While entertaining out-of-towners, we tend to go to more places and spend more money than we normally do in an entire year.  ;)  I believe the pretzel bread, alone, was worth the trip, though, the highlight of the 930 experience was definitely the rat we met around the valet area.  We were his biggest fans!



....i think we were his only fans.  Some dumb ass bitches kept screaming at the top of their damn lungs as they attempted to 'run' away in their ridiculous heels.  Hahaha.  Rats = the perfect 'dumb ass bitch repellent'.  

We visited the second happiest place on earth: Disneyland!  :D  The infamous, Rob K., my hilarious brother, joined us for adventures....  

Yeeee-hawwwwwrrr! 





       <------Rob K. and Melissa: love them varmints!  ^^               







(( 'More disneyland pics in my flickr account....including your favorite pirates!!!  ))



**COMICON 2006**  We only attended for 1 and 1/2 days; Rob and I drove down early Saturday morning along with magic-pants-Larry.  It was so great seeing all the out-of-towners from the drawing board again  ^_^  Alberto Ruiz, Marty ( Paintmonster ), Clarke ( CSnyde ), Brad ( Agent Helix ), Bob ( Animal Qwacker ), Francesco ( TheRonin ), Big Al, ScribbleMonkey, Ragnar, Bill Presing, Cedric, Monkeyfeather, Steve G., Autumn Turkel, Michel Gagne.... dammit, i think i waited too long to write this report  /:P  Apologies if i'm forgetting anyone.   Picture time!

 

              
Ugly Doll           Ed             Rodolphe        Marty            Brad        Bill&Alberto    Pastaface


We didn't buy much.... 'though i made sure to pick up Chris Sander's new sketchbook and put my name on his mailing list 4 thousand times  :)  Alberto, very generously, gave us an AMAZING set of his most recent prints!  'Also got copies of Marty "Paintmonster"'s new book, Clarke's book, stickers from Ragnar and some awesome Pea and Bear pins....

 

comicon goodies

 

 












This year, we crashed at my brother's new San Diego apartment... which was just a few miles from the convention center.  CONVEIENT! That saved us at least $200, so he was the comicon hero  :)   Larry bought these really awesome King Kong and Godzilla movies and played a few select scenes before we headed out for breakfast Sunday morning.... ahhh, the sound of a boulder hitting a sea monster in the head  ...i'll never forget.    ...Never.


Also worth a mention: my brother recommended this cute local place for breakfast:
The Broken Yolk.  'Not a fan of eggs in the least, but the pancakes there were top-notch  <:)  It's one to keep in mind for next year, guys.


'Vegas entry coming soon....

8/17/2006 - Camping with wolves

Posted by Neneuche
We went camping this weekend. Apparently everyone decided it was a good idea; when I came back, several friends told me they had gone camping too.
We saw shooting stars and heard wolves, but I selpt very badly due to unseasonable freezing temperatures.
But nothing beat good friends, good food, good booze and that view.

'Nuff said.

7/22/2006 - A new exodus?

Posted by Neneuche
A bunch of friends at work have decided to move on to another work place. It happens at the end of every project, but this time, I was very close to these guys and I feel like they let me down or something. I know we'llstill be friends and other friends are staying. Things aren't so bad. I know they wanted to work on more prestigious titles, and I undersand, but it's still a blow. I wish they'd had told me before, you know?
Well, sun rise, sun set...

Posted by Neneuche
This is the bruise from when the washer fell on me. I took the picture a week after. It's almost gone now, but it's still sensitive. To give you a size apreciation, thebruise was about the size of a standard dec of cards.
Wanna kiss it better?

Tasty!

To kat:
I had fun last evening. It was cool to catch up. But thank god we stopped 'cause walking home I realised I was really drunk. I was singing along to my mp3 player. How lame is that?

Every time I hear the song by Gwen Stefany "what you waiting for", I feel she's talking to me. I have to get moving and do cool stuff with my energy. Not just complain. 
I stole this from Ket's blog. I find it so funny yet so motivating. Where did this dude get the money to do all that?

7/9/2006 - It's been a while!!

Posted by Neneuche
Sheeeeeeeeeeeee'!
Sorry kids; I've been busy, wha with the Concept Art Workshop and the move and building Ikea furniture, I had no time for myself at all. I have some drawings to post but they are on my computer which is stored at my boyfriend's mother's house.  I'm using the wireless internet we had instaled and my laptop.
The place is getting nicer by the day but Im not too happy about the location as most of you may know. 
Longueuil n'est pas exactement la place la plus intéressante au monde, même si on est a 2 pas de l'île.
Marc-André is a bit saddened by my lack of enthousiasm and I can't blame him. But it was to be expected. I' a city girl, not a subburb lady that likes shopping at walmart and payless. It's no so bad. I'll get used to it I guess. 
Living with my boyfriend is pretty cool tough, but it'd be much cooler on the island. But better here than Verdun or the west island. The view is quite something too. I'll post a photo soon.
I have the nastiest buise on my arm from when the washing machine fell on me. I'll post pictures as soon as I get my real computer running. 
One of the fun things about living on the southshore touh is that since most people in my neighborhood are either old and/or ugly, I have moved up from regular looking girl to hot sexy chick.

5/25/2006 - Well it's come to this...

Posted by Neneuche

I'm participating in super cool lady artist Nofret's Potter Fan Art Special. I find fan art extremly geeky and lame unless it's well done; Then it's pretty cool. Hers is so funny and great that I had to give it a shot. But I think mine leans a bit more over the geeky/lame side. I liked it when I first finished it, but now I see a bunch of things I could have done better. I guess it's too late now.  I wanted to have it a little naughty without being gross and sick like some fan art can be. If you want to see some of that, Google can help you. I wish I had cute guys secretly peek under MY skirt when I was 16. Then again, I didn't wear skirts. Or know any cute guys.

C'est la premiere fois depuis que je dessinais des bonhommes de Disney pour mes cousins que je fait quelque chose de "fanart" plus pousse qu'une simple parodie. Je suis un peu decue du resultat, meme si quand je l'ai termine, je me trouvais pas trop pire. Bof, peutetre que ca va mieux sortir imprime. J'ai hate de voir ce que les autres artistes vont avoir fait pour la petite publication de Nofret.

5/24/2006 - Happy Crabby Beetle...Squid..

Posted by Tiramisue

 

Hi again!  Ready for more?  'So soon, too! 

 

BEHOLD!!  Everyone's favorite squid-pal, GEZORA!!!:

Love Gezora NOW!

 

Larry and I are starting a Gezora internet frenzy.  GET SET!!!  It's gonna be huuuuuge, you'll see...

 

 


 

 

And speaking of squids, guess who came in the mail last weekend????  Why, it's your other favorite squid-pal: CAPTAIN SQUID direct from the land of eBay!!  Yaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! :D

Captain Squid and Jolly Roger!

Jolly Roger (( right )) has been reunited with his bastard sidekick.  They can go pillage and plunder the bookcase, now! 

 

This would probably be a good time to mention, Katie and I will be launching a toy blog soon.  :D Tons and TONS of pictures of all the retarded little treasures we've been collecting over the years... and yes, that means DREAM PETS galore  :)  Once that's up, we'll make an announcement...so stay tuned and be excited!

 


 

 AWWWW!!! LOOOOOOKIT THE BABY CRABBY FACE!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Anemone Crab! Last weekend was another rad one, of course: on Saturday, Rob, Larry, and I took a trip to the Long Beach Aquarium.

 

(( Yes, as a matter of fact, there were squids there, too. )) 

 

'Kinda bummed to discover my most-admired Anemone Crab was MIA  :(  How shit is that?  Here's a picture of him i took 2 months ago.....

 

I just added a few more pictures of him ( and other things ) to my photo album; be sure to check those out!  ^_^

 

 

 

A few shots from Saturday:

Clown fish and Corals

 

Of no relevance to squids:

we are rad

(( left ))  'No doubt these two are plotting against me  :P 

(( right )) Gameworks: House of the Dead 9845358...or 4, whatever.  "This can't be happening!"

 

While walking over to Gameworks, we over-heard some guy talking to his female companion.... and days later, it's still on my mind:

 

"Your mother warned you about that apple......"   

 

........................................and that's all we heard.  I'd give pretty much anything just to find out why mom did not approve of that apple. 

 


 

 

On Sunday, Howie and I checked out the Long Beach Flea Market.... This marks the 3rd consecutive successful visit!  'Found 3 more Dream Pets i needed...... Including "Unknown Beetle" who was just laying in one vendor's pile of crap toys.  'Good thing for my Dream Pets radar:

 Unknown Beetle

No one has been able to ID this one yet.  I've never seen one with tags attached....  Once in a blue moon, he'll turn up on eBay, and usually ends anywhere from $30-$50.     .......I paid $5  :)   

 

Also of note: one vendor (( who specializes in reproduction 60's / eames-style furniture )), put together a pamphlet listing 31 of the absolute BEST vintage shops in Long Beach!!  :D  It's called "Reece's Antique and Retro Shopper's Map".  I'll scan it and add it to my photo album shortly....  this list doesn't seem to be on the 'net anywhere....  and i'm sure some of you guys may be interested  :)

 

'Until next time.....

5/17/2006 - E3 2006: Wiiiiiiiii! :D

Posted by Tiramisue

Hiya gang! ‘This’ll be a long one…get set. 

 

At the absolute last second possible; I managed to get into E3! I won’t bore ya with the details, but yeah…. After pretty much accepting defeat, as my credentials were not up-to-date, it was an unexpected surprise; leaving me in super-charged nerd mode all week.  I typically dislike going to most conventions, but I *always* enjoy myself, here….

 

Day 1: Since I hate Nintendo so much, I decided to go there first just to get it over with.  :P

Nintendo Jellyfish

 

Their booth looked like a giant jellyfish  :D  ….a Jellyfish you can walk into and there’s lots of games in his belly. ^_^   I played Yoshi’s Island 2 for a good long while, which was very similar to the original SNES title. I have an uncontrollable weakness for all that is Yoshi, so my biased ass loved the ever-loving crap out of it. ‘Though I can see you unbiased asses loving this one, too  ;)  It’s a Nintendo platformer for cryin’ out loud!  Those almost never suck.  Speaking of 2D platformers…quite a few of them are in the works; including THIS ONE; Super Paper Mario!  :D  Somewhat odd: the Gamcube had ZERO presence at Nintendo's booth.

 

me_playing_DS_sm.jpgRob and I also liked both volumes of Brain Games, a lot!  Brain Age and Big Brain Academy. We got a little competitive …which was just more indication that we’re gonna have to get another DS sometime down the line.  ….And oh, convenient enough: the DS Lite comes to the US next month.  Well, DANG! 

 

The Wii line was roughly an hour and a half long right around opening time on day one (( 10:00am on Wednesday )).  Rob and I declined…thinking it wouldn’t be as bad the following day.  Ha!  It only got worse…a LOT worse.  ‘More on that later…

 

 

Here we have Sony’s booth.  ‘Nice use of the Spiderman font, here.  Mmm-hmmm…

Sony

 

Let’s see….  I liked Capcom’s Okami  (( but I played that one last year, too )).  ‘Same ol' thing… 3D platformer…smash crates…get items...blah, blah, blah… BUT!  It’s oh-so-nice on the eyes.  ‘Very interesting art direction; which is nice for a change.  ‘Not a big fan of that muddy rendered "realistic-as-possible" look that constitutes sooo many 3D platformers these days.  I'll take bright colors and a stream-lined look, over exceedingly complex, desaturated models any day. 

 

Sony kids

 

I’m regretting not returning to the PSP area to try out Loco Roco…’cause that one looked like it’d be right up my alley. 

 

For me, the Sony area highlight was Guitar Hero II.  It was my first encounter with the game, and I was sold after just playing through one song!  The masses are positively SPOT ON with this one: it’s a total must-have.  I’ll be picking this one up very soon.  ^_^ 

 

 

Namco’s booth always rocks.  The dancers were there again this year…

Namco dancers

 

PacMan treasure

They also get the “best gimmick” award for keeping my ass stationed there for a good long while.  If you play one of their cel phone games (( not for you fellas with the long nails :P )), you’ll be rewarded with a pacman token...which can then be used in various capsule machines they had set up all over the area!  Collecting all the little PacMan capsule toys became a fun little side-quest  :P

SUE!!!  :D

Thankfully, many were eager to trade with me, making my little enterprise much easier.  :)  ^^Sue!

 

 


 

Day 2: I stood in the West Hall’s entry line with Rick at 8:00am, thinking we’d have a good shot at avoiding a bit of the Nintendo line Wii-tardedness we’ve witnessed the day prior.  ‘Quite the opposite: as the doors opened at 9:00am, the nerds practically trampled eachother running over to the Nintendo area!!  Holy crap, the sliding glass doors were actually shaking!!  STAMPEED!!!  Oh man, I wish I documented this…. You’ll just have to trust me; it was a sight to behold. See, this particular crowd wasn’t exactly in the best physical shape… <:)  ’watching them clumsily run with over-sized backpacks while trying not to spill their coffee was quite a spectacle.  Rick and I decided to keep our dignity and power-walked instead.  Our wait for the Wii: 2 hours 15 mins.   I held our place and played 7-player Mario Kart DS with my new pals I met in the line while Rick explored.  That 2 hours+ went by pretty quickly, actually.

 

Wii area:

Wiiiiii area

 

Wii demos

 

Impressions….

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves...  I’ve always loved this series.  In the demo, you have to point and move the remote around to clear the stages (( no buttons were used )).  Rick loves it:

Hahaha, Rick loves it

 

Zelda; Twilight Princess: ‘Had to wait an additional hour to play this one  /:P  I played through the dungeon level and boss battle.  Fun!   ‘Took a few minutes to adjust to the new gameplay, but once I remembered what all the buttons did, I thought it worked surprisingly well!!  Using the remote’s pointer for the bow-and-arrow mode required a very steady hand, though.  If you’re a total spazz, this’ll be a huge pain in the ass.  ‘Having a fairly big TV screen would probably help, too.

 

Most everyone I talked to around here was just completely apeshit over the new Smash Brothers Brawl trailer.  ‘Not a huge fan of this series, but Pit looks really, really awesome  o.0

 

‘Some gaming celebrities:

Sue &amp; CheapyD

 Video Game Pianist

(( left )) Me and head cheap-ass, CheapyD, of www.cheapassgamer.com !  Cheapy’s site has saved me hundreds of dollars over the years.  I visit CAG almost daily.

(( above )) The-Artist-Formerly-Known-as-The Blindfolded Pianist: ...The VideoGame Pianist! 

                                          

 

(( ‘Just taking a break to mention… it’s been extremely difficult typing up this E3 report when I’ve got THIS nearby in my peripheral vision.  I haven’t even opened it yet!!!  It wants to be played in the worst way.  Tell it to shut up!  ))

 

 


 

 

Day 3:  More Wii.  ‘Got in line AGAIN in the early am; the line was just plain ridiculous: a 4 HOUR WAIT from where I entered the line (( which was now wrapped around Nintendo’s booth, then through the fire exit area, and then into Sony’s area. )).  Soon after I took my place, the line was CLOSED. 

While standing there, wondering if I should forget it and move on, I get a call from Larry telling me he had arrived and was looking to meet up.  ‘Figured now, I could at least give him the option to bypass about an hour or so of waiting if he were to join me line where I was standing.  ‘Though, just 10 minutes later, that was no longer an issue:  a Nintendo executive was walking along the line and shouting “DOES ANYONE HERE HAVE ANY MARIO TATTOOS??”  Nobody was really paying attention….   'too busy playing their DS's.

As he got a bit closer to me, I showed him my Bowser pin that’s been a permanent part of my PF messenger bag for the last few years.

I got this “Oh c’mon! … A pin isn’t even CLOSE to an image forever inked onto you skin.” expression. Ha!  ..But then that quickly changed to a “Hmmm…oh wait…does that count for something..?”.  ((  I’d like to think it was my adorable smile and the little hip twist thing I did  :P  ))  He agreed to let me and my pals jump to the front of the line!  I called up Larry; I sounded like the fast-talking guy from the old micro machines commercials; ‘telling him we can just walk in! 

 

 We  Wii got the royal treatment…Here we are in the VIP couch area!!  Larry and I are taking turns playin’ some Zelda:

Larry loves the Wiiiii  :P

 

Wii = rad

I think I remember Larry saying something like “OMG THE WII IS SO AWESOME!!!  AHHHHH!!! GREATEST EVERRRRR!!!111!1!!”   It’s sooooo damn obvious from these photos; he fucking just loves this thing  :D  Haw! Haw! Haw!

Before leaving the Nintendo Jellyfish, we had a booth girl snap a picture of Larry and I around where we met for the first time last year.  Rob, unfortunately, missed the photo op since he had to work that day.  Thank goodness for our radical time machine!!!
