I'm assuming this is just for the regular version. I figure the HD + Cage kit will be slightly different.

The end of imgDump

Well, the time has finally come. imgDump will become a memory of internet past.

Why you ask? The cost. Since our big server jump a year ago it's cost me around €25, ad revenue only brings in about €7, monthly. At the end of this month that price is slated to nearly double, something I can't keep supporting from my pockets anymore.

Thus, it must come to an end, but we will have a swan song. There are two things I'm planing if I can sort the logistics.

Verizon Wireless has blocked 4chan

Has Verizon Wireless pulled an AT&T with their blocking of 4chan?

via status.4chan.org


Over the past 72 hours, we've been receiving reports from Verizon Wireless customers having difficulty accessing the image boards.

After investigating, we found that Verizon is dropping traffic to/from boards.4chan.org, only on port 80 (HTTP). No other subdomain/IP/port is affected, which leads us to believe this block is intentional.

A call was placed to their support staff last night, and we were told that the ticket would not be looked at until Monday at the earliest, and: "You'll need the customer to call to request it be unblocked..."

If you've been affected by this block, please contact Verizon Wireless customer support. The numbers we were given are: "Verizon Wireless NRB: (866) 298-5373" and "Verizon Wireless DSO: (800) 770-1179".

Note: Users with mobile browsers that proxy (BlackBerry, Opera) won't necessarily have issues accessing the boards.

Should be an awesome kit, assuming you don't mind an inability to stand up.

Dry Brushing Tutorial, finally done!

Behold, the legs of my MG Victory Gundam...

JDW_7258

What a fucking nightmare this kit has become. A full review should be coming soon. Bah.

In the meantime, I finally finished the dry brushing tutorial for the Guide. It only took so long to post because I've been faaar to lazy.

Also, enjoy the typos and bad grammar while it lasts. I'm bound to properly proof read sometime this week...

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Ep 34 Preview

Since my "rundowns" have been more of a tease than anything, I figure I'd change the title...

Time for my preview of this past weekend's FMA: Brotherhood release, episode 34. Of course, spoiler free.

Mike has described this episode as the best since Lust vs. Roy. Granted, he has a hard on for the General.
