  3. Ah, it's been eons since I saw Gundam Wing! One of the many Anime from my early childhood, even though I like some of the others, like Last Exile and Kino's Journey, better. And I'm with you on your travel destinations. I really want to go to Ireland and Japan, and Egypt has always been a passion of mine as well!

  4. Gundam! The best sci-fi there is. The original is my favorite in terms of story, but G Gundam has gotta be my favorite overall even though it's considered the black sheep of the family. I never finished Wing, I should get around to that eventually. Dude, you ever play Dynasty Warriors 3: Gundam? It's awesome, favorite Dynasty Warriors by far. It's pretty much the closest you could get to piloting a mobile suit. I wonder, if I paint my camera red will the shutter speed suddenly be 3 times faster than the average camera?

    1. Yeah I've got all of the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam games, they are so much fun. Have you ever played any of the Gundam Pod games they used to have the older ones in arcades in Houston. Those were awesome because it was fashioned as the cockpit of a mech and it used actual controllers. I think private buyers can still get the game for major $$$

    2. No I've never seen that, but man it sounds cool. That's like the F-Zero AX machines, the whole thing is in the cockpit of the Blue Falcon, which is the coolest thing anyone could have ever done. I wish we had a decent arcade around here.

  5. I love some old school Gundam. Endless Waltz is probably one of my favorite things in all of anime. Do you watch a good bit of anime?
