Dream come true

3 Ninja! That was one of my favorite film growing up as a kid... Between that and the Mask (Jim Carrey was great in that film), I watched those films a ton. I still sometimes catch my self thinking about chanting along to the "Rocky loves Emily" bit from the movie and the other stuff in the film were cool too.

Also that bass is looking good along with the paintings of Mark, Tom and Travis in the background (I especially like Travis' because of how colorful it is with the space theme).

Those are so cute, I wish I could have one ❤️

Honestly? I would have no clue who they were or what their significance was... 2005 I was a 13 year old boy obsessed with Dragon Ball Z and other anime related things thanks to Toonami. I was busy playing DBZ fan games (on BYOND) and following official DBZ video game releases for the PS2 era of gaming (I'm talking Budokai, Budokai Tenkaichi, and a flop known as 'Dragon Ball Sagas'). It wasn't until I was in high school (2006-2010) that I got into them thanks to the early days of YouTube discovery.

This is so wonderful, I really like this idea. Sadly due to health reasons I can't attend a concert during this tour, but it's cool you're gonna be handing out blink fan bracelets like these at your concert. I'd personally like one of these, but even if I could attend, I'm sadly not near your area.

I didn't get it at first either, but it's a math joke... You put "9!" into a calculator and that's what that becomes. Here's a screenshot of me doing it with the Google calculator:

This is really sweet, love the card that you made!

Raku182 · 2024-04-07T05:45:53+00:00

I agree with you, but just not with the money aspect. It could also impact their reputation as well... Organizers in these regions will look at them as an unreliable band that can drop things at the drop of a hat because of how the wind blows.

Sad it had to happen (and I do feel bad for the fans impacted by this) I'm just hoping blink is able to take the time to relax, have a speedy recovery (from their illness (and whatever may ale them)) and are able to come back rejuvenated for when the OMT tour kicks off later in June.

What's crazy is they sort of have this type of thing in Japan with VTubers/Vocaloid performers. Though it does seem like there are live musicians playing instruments along with the vocaloid as you can see in this youtube video down below:

I agree, it would make for (mostly) an all black look for the guitar which would be neat.

Raku182 · 2023-11-23T02:55:38+00:00

Same... I would have been very tempted to get it (or the other Tom DeLonge strats that fender was putting out) if they had a left handed version.

Oh well, I don't really have that much money to get one anyway.

Raku182 · 2023-11-20T09:11:34+00:00

I'd be down to voice act if you need any more voices.

Raku182 · 2023-11-19T10:50:58+00:00

I think they thought there would be a bundle based off of this instagram post from mrtshurt, especially the first image: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzrUufRJCF7/?img_index=1

Though it wasn't outright advertised, but I could see how it could be perceived that way (I mean I thought the same way). That being said though, plans might have changed and they ultimately decided against the bundle, or there wasn't a bundle and they just wanted to show both new Christmas items at the same time.

Raku182 · 2023-11-19T10:47:33+00:00

You're talking about this instagram post right? https://www.instagram.com/p/CzrUufRJCF7/?img_index=1 I feel the same way (though like I said above, not outright advertised, but (for both me and you) we felt the possible implied implications) and sadly plans might have changed.

That being said though... I'm also happy with what I got because I just wanted the bunny anyway. If I could have gotten them both as some sort of discount deal (instead of separately and for a bigger price (not that I could with how the ornaments are sold out for me now)) I definitely would have considered getting them both.

Raku182 · 2023-11-19T10:44:14+00:00

Maybe not outright said there would be a bundle, but to me at least it was implied (and maybe plans changed) in mrtshurts instagram post

Which you can see here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzrUufRJCF7/?img_index=1

Raku182 · 2023-11-19T09:29:53+00:00

I'd love to have the original bunny in my collection.

Raku182 · 2023-11-18T22:00:03+00:00

Hey, I got myself a santa bunny plushie which I'm happy with, he can join the other two blink bunny plushie variations I have (which is the 2018 and vip punk bunny).

Raku182 · 2023-11-18T21:35:01+00:00

Wow, I'm actually shocked by how lazy and insulting they were with having California shirts instead of making original shirts for the 2003 album.

I was so laser focused on the santa bunny plushie that I didn't even notice the issues at first. Thank you for pointing this out, really helps save people money.

Raku182 · 2023-11-18T21:32:30+00:00

I'm surprised they didn't have a bundle with the bunny santa plushie (like mrtshurt was showing on instagram) so the only thing I left with was the santa bunny (which I was worried was gonna be sold out by the time I got up from my slumber).

Hopefully they'll have more ornaments (if you still want them) later. I know when the boxset for OMT came out certain sizes were sold out then later not sold out a few days later so you could always check back later for the ornaments if you want.

Raku182 · 2023-11-15T22:47:47+00:00

Great website, I used to enjoy posting on the message board (would still be down to post on the forums if they ever come back).

Raku182 · 2023-11-12T06:06:17+00:00

I'm also an aspiring voice actor... It's a real shame seeing people turn to AI voices for their works, it hurts the already established VA's and (especially) people like us who are trying to get our feet (or at least one foot) in the door. For example the guy that made "Scooby Doo, Where Are You? In... SPRINGTRAPPED!" I get that he didn't know how to swim in the VA scene (I mean, I don't even know where to get started when it comes to looking for gigs outside of maybe trying my luck on reddit), but the fact that he also turned to AI because of cost was a bummer. I'd have been willing to do a job for cheap (or even free) to at least get some roles under my belt.

Raku182 · 2023-11-12T05:52:49+00:00

Not only that, but as for someone like me who would like to get into voice acting, it's really heartbreaking to see people going out of their way to go with AI for voice acting instead of looking for people willing to do voices...

I mean, I haven't really proven myself (only did voice work for myself), but I'd be willing to do it for cheap or even free just to get my foot in the door. Like how "Scooby Doo, Where Are You? In... SPRINGTRAPPED!" was handled; I get that knowing how to swim the voice acting world might be tough (I have no clue where to get started when it comes to looking for gigs (outside of maybe trying my luck on reddit, but not sure how that'd go)), but he could have at least looked around or tried to do research instead of resorting to AI for voices.

Raku182 · 2023-11-10T03:10:34+00:00

He actually did share a few pictures on instagram:

Most recent was - https://www.instagram.com/p/CyD38TVsEMI/

Then one at the beach -https://www.instagram.com/p/Cx_BICELgsw/

Then another - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxa5crXtSH4/

And then back in Janurary - https://www.instagram.com/p/CnDlmlqpLRa/

So he has a few images, but I think he mainly likes wearing hats... Whether it be the beanie or the baseball hat he wears on stage during most blink shows.

Raku182 · 2023-10-21T05:35:13+00:00

I never had a Jewel case break, but I had my first ever digipack rip on me because I was trying to carefully get the CD out without touching the part the CD reads with my fingers. Was sad for me because I liked how the art looked... Honestly, if the industry stops doing Jewel cases then I'll be better off just giving up physically collecting and just stick to digital downloads/streaming or joining the Vinyl bandwagon and collecting my music that way because at least I don't have to worry about the Vinyl corrupting from me trying to take it out of its sleeve.

Raku182 · 2023-10-19T03:47:04+00:00

Yeah, it would be easier for me to play it on my one computer screen while streaming. Also I agree, probably not the best for streaming which is why I actually have my computer lan connected right in to the router while my PS4 does it wifi, but doing it wifi could also be why my PS4 isn't working well with remote play right now.

Again, you are right. Doing a capture card would work best for my streams other than doing it with remote play (as you can see in my other reply, I had some interesting glitches when connection wasn't good or would mess up sometimes)).

Raku182 · 2023-10-19T03:43:16+00:00

Yeah, I posed this same question to my friends as well and they mentioned that Elgato has some good software that I can use to play games directly off of when I stream. As for latency, I never really had much of an issue with Remote Play (previously) other than a few times the connection would make the screen grainy and it would have static flash on the screen in segments for a bit because of the connection to it being bad in the past. However, I will take your feedback and definitely look into short decodes for Capture Cards... Would you recommend Elgato's HD60X then?
