Toy Fair 2010 Transformers!

It really truly is a day of love — there’s a big unloading of official images of the Transformers toys shown off at the NY Toy Fair over at TFormers.com!

Apparently, 2010 will be about returning to Classics — now renamed TF Generations.  Here’s my favorite of the new bunch so far: Drift!

Check out images of Power Core Combiners, War for Cybertron, Generations, and of course, Hunt for Decepticons on TFormers.com!

Fallout New Vegas Trailer

Because this thing’s been out for a week, and you know that I’ll be playing it!  Woohoo!

the applicant.

The iPod’s charging up — forgot to charge it earlier.  See, you need some music to maybe distract you while you wait.

I was confused at the instructions given: provide a list, but in essay format?  WAT.  If you notice anything wrong with the grammer — I was using a sign pen.  )

Job interviews are pretty much the same since 2006 — they still ask what you were, what you’ll do for them, what your top 5 all-time greatest strengths and weaknesses are (list in essay format), etc — it is interesting to note that different offices operate differently.  Of the 6/7/8-or so jobs that I’ve had, only 2 of them were in offices — and they were both different.

Of the last month, I’ve had several interviews — and the result?  Some feel just right, but can’t give what I’m asking for.  Some feel wrong, but are interesting in a way that I get to see how other offices operate.  Some are like girls who fail to call back.  )

I see it as self-help too — you get to appraise yourself in front of others (not that you’d need others to appraise yourself and prove your worth, you know that already) — you get to look back and wonder, “HOLY SHIT, DID I REALLY DO THAT?! / DID I REALLY PULL THAT OFF?!”

So tomorrow, I straighten my tie, step out into the world and maybe impress someone enough to maybe provide value for them (and their company).  Of the interviews that I failed — I think of them as a way for clearing up the position for someone else who wants/deserves that job more and can provide more value for it than I can.

Look at me, talking like an adult.  )

P.S.

If you have a Twitter account  — you could do me a solid by RT’ing this tweet.  I’d really appreciate it! 

Bruticus Maximus Upgrade Preorders!

Preorders for the Fansproject Bruticus Maximus Crossfire Upgrade kit is now up on BigBadToyStore!

From the makers of the City Commander and Superion Appendage Upgrade Kit, these two (yes, t-w-o) Crossfire robots replace 2 units on your existing Bruticus Maximus figure and adds not only sheer awesomeness to the already-awesome combiner, but also more guns and infinitely-better-looking appendages!

Crossfire XF-02A Explorer is a sort-of rocket trailer vehicle transforms into a new right arm for Bruticus, while Crossfire XF-02B Munitioner turns into a new right leg and has most of the guns.  Each figure $48.99 — amounting to almost a hundred dollars for a complete upgrade.  If these protos are any indication though, it’s gonna be fantastic:
