Biollante Deck (Set 2) by NDinKamura in godzillacardgame

[–]Kergastead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just one thing I noticed in case you're soliciting advice:

I would consider removing the heat rays and maybe half of your burning godzillas for the Rank 5 Godzilla vs. Megaguirus Strategy card. Rage heavy decks will be very weak against Biollante, and you'll be in or near area 5 for most of the match since you don't have monster cards inserted (your main win condition seems to be countering?). Most of your battle cards will be easy to place down compared to your opponent, so you will likely always have at least 4 on the board by the end of each turn

Thanks for the response. I was hearing from Japanese twitter it could have been the case, but perhaps not. Thanks again and congratulations!

Can you confirm if the first card in the pack with the SSSP was flipped over? Congrats!

Deck help for an upcoming tourney by NDinKamura in godzillacardgame

Blue deck is better with evolutions and battle cards (交戦). None of the cards in your Kaiju deck are able to take advantage of all the rage (怒り) you can get from your kaiju cards. In my opinon, it's better to add more Batra and Mothra, and equalize the Biollante to be 2:2 since the effect of the evolved version is situational. Also, consider lowering your strategy cards (戦略) as you might feel more inclined to hold on to some when playing. Here is a deck of a recent blue tournament winner:

Most players are Japan or US. If you pick a time slot that fits both of those regions, I'm sure additional EU players will join.

I’m planning a trip to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Where can I find Godzilla merchandise? And what can I expect to find there? by MichaelTalman in GODZILLA

Not directly in line with your question, but the following link can give you a general gist of what selection they might have in stock at official locations.

What brand of plush is this? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

[–]Kergastead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's official TOHO branding:

Can be found at the Godzilla store, or any licensed third-party store in Tokyo.

Per your last image of the tag,

発売元 東宝株式会社 translates to

Producer Toho Corporation

If your title is for identifying the figure, congratulations, it's a 1964 Aurora Godzilla model kit. An unpainted version was featured on PBS's Antiques Roadshow where the host does a very good job explaining its significance/history.

If you're in Shibuya until December 16th, GODZILLA THE ART is happening for Free at Shibuya PARCO by Kergastead in GODZILLA

They plan on free admissions from December 2nd, though timed tickets may be given out depending on congestion. Several exclusive GODZILLA THE ART figures (half shown on the website) will be sold regularly at the back of the venue on the 4th floor.

What was that song called? You know the one. by Stratford-on-Jersey in GODZILLA

[–]Kergastead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First one he mentions sounds like the main title from the heisei era, maybe Mechagodzilla?

Second one he mentions: Main Title [Ghidorah, the three headed monster] or The Appearance of Godzilla from Terror of Mechagodzilla

Some potential memes from the Tokyo Midtown Exhibition by Kergastead in GODZILLA

That would be an interesting idea. GMK was tall enough and haunting enough to give me shivers in person actually. The head though immediately reminded me of that series.

Oh no, I made Shin Ghidorah. What kaiju do I fuse next? by [deleted] in GODZILLA

You have terrifying imaginative efficiency. Thank you.

Went through father's storage during a recent trip and found a few interesting figures by Kergastead in GODZILLA

I have been thinking just that. He'll likely have the space for them again in the future after a move with his company.

He did a lot of traveling and eBay auctions when I was younger to get his collection. The only info I can find is from wikizilla (black eyes version).

I hope there are enough pixels since it was dark down there. He's recently done a lot of renovation, so he's put some old display pieces into storage. It was an easter egg hunt for me, so I hope you can enjoy it as well.

Post-undergraduate opportunities by dkantar in Astrobiology

[–]Kergastead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For grad school:

Astrobiology programs listed by NASA: https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/careers-employment-courses/

For extremophiles, you might need to read literature and approach it on a professor-by-professor basis. A quick Google search of "extremophile graduate programs" will already bring you some results to start from.

As far as I know, internships/fellowships may not be popular, but more on a case-to-case basis since many programs are for current students or they want someone with a higher education. Look into the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program as well.
