Your stuff has shipped

I shipped out packages, if I owed you something, stand-by for the Delivery Confirmation numbers so you can track them.

Uh oh...

Alrighty, so because Corey ("TAO" at Articulated Discussion) linked to me from his site, I have to post more often to keep you punks entertained! Hard to do when I'm constantly fighting-off sleep, hunger, and a neverending invasion of bedbugs. I pray for those of you who I've shipped items to, who knows what vicious bedbug has snuck out of the package and into your homes.


Well, I don't pray for you guys, more like wait for the angry emails so I can laugh for a while.


I tried bug-bombs last week. Let me tell you what a bug-bomb is, it is not the magnificent cloud of poisonous death that seeps into every crack and hole to strangle the life out of any bug caught in it's venemous grip that you may, by all reasonable means, think it is. A bug-bomb is more like a sissy little mist that spittles out of the canister. It flows along the floor and settles in your carpet, where it rests and dozes like a lazy security guard. All bug-bombs do is piss-off whatever bug you're trying to kill, to the point where they come out while you're sleeping and bite the shit out of you for ever thinking you could stop their insectile juggernaut.


Tomorrow some guy is gonna come and fumigate and do fun extermitaor stuff, like wear a ridiculously huge respirator-mask and talk like Darth Vader. I had to put all my toys into tupperware things, I'm not looking forward to setting them up again, so many tiny pieces to keep track of...


Oh, and-


Unbreakable [2000] - Don't know why I haven't seen this sooner, I even remember seeing the ads for it way back then. Anyway, it wasn't bad! I didn't even know it was comic-book related, I just wanted to see Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson spit lines at each other, and they did! Line-spitting! Awesome! Lol, okay, I liked it up to the part when, inevitably, they put in some stupid little kid who I wanna punch in the face. Anytime I start to like a movie, BAM! Stupid little kid gets put in to annoy me. Whatever. The movie wasn't overly-dramatic, not too much action either, but it's interesting enough to want to know what happens next.

Some movies I watched that you can ignore

Posted at 07:23 AM on May 03, 2009 Comments comments (3)

Yar, some movies and a quick thought on each:

  • The Broken [2008] - For a film that made it to Horrorfest, this thing was boring as hell. Granted, it did do a great job of building suspense thoughout, everytime you saw a mirror you'd be like "OMG! The might be someone there when next she looks into it!" Okay, that's pretty lame too since, like, ALL horror movies do that nowadays. And they have, you now, horror in them. Blegh. 6 Broken Mirrors / 10

  • JCVD [2008] - Yes, Jean Claude Van Dam! I'm sad to say I couldn't find any version with English subtitles because the whole movie is in French. I still watched it though and pretended to understand everything, it was pretty awesome. Jean Claude is a secret agent from Pluto sent to earth to capture his evil doppleganger from taking over the galaxy! Nah, this actually looked like a good film, Van Dam looks and sounds so natural in this movie. And there's some cool monologue that everyone is raving about, that I thought was cool, but not epic...  Squiggly~Line / 10

  • Dark Reprieve [2008] - Yuck! This thing sounded cool, but it's soooo boring. Bad acting but it's a really creepy idea. If the acting was better I'd probably have liked it. I remember seeing an old Twilight Zone episode that had basically the same plot as this movie, so I guess it's like a tribute to it or something. Lame / 10

  • Solo [2006] - No, it's not porn, you freaks. It's an Australian film about a hitman who wants to retire but his bosses won't let him so interesting stuff happens. I wasn't expecting much out of it, so I was surprised that it was pretty decent. I mean, I love Australia and all, but it sounded kinda generic on paper. Coolness. I hated the ending though, it was kinda telegraphed thorughout the film. 7 Cute College-Girls / 10

  • The Line [2006] - Not a horror flick, it's a straightforward crime drama/action thing. Not like CSI or Law&Order, those shows suck (sorry), more like...wel, I don't know what to compare it to, I don't watch movies that often! xD Anyway, it's a lot less epic than the descriptions for it make it sound. Two cops need to stop a gang war, but there's some croooked cops running around. The film isn't as "deep" as I wanted it to be, but it made it's point. It's okay. 7 Fuzzy Moral Lines / 10

    I really just like anything with angry Brits/Aussies/Kiwis in it, they're hilarious! Don't believe me? Take a look at this angry Kiwi and tell me it isn't hilarious:



    Um...okay, that's actually pretty fucking scary...like Big Bird and Chupacabras combined...um...moving on...

  • Wall-E [2008] - Actually, I saw this last month, but it's such a cute and adorable movie that it's still in my head. Go watch it! Unless you hate cute things. Baby-haters. Lol, just messing with ya, I hate babies too. 14 Cute-ass Robots / 10

Oh! Go buy Black Label Society's albums! The music just sounds like a bunch of noise, and all the songs start to sound the same after a while, but it's still good! Har, it's good heavy banging to knock the cobwebs out of your crappy Jonas Brothers-infested brain. You really need to have a good ear to enjoy this music though, I'm not kidding about the songs all sounding the same after a while. You need to be able to pick-out the different sounds happening at once to appreciate it. This is one of the reasons people don't like Black/Death Metal, it just sounds like a bunch of noise, but if you take the time to understand what's happening within the song, then...um...a leprechaun gives you a pot of gold! No, it makes you realize just how much work the performers are putting into their music.


Man, I think it's hilarious, how can they go from Pounding Riffs to THIS, within the same album? And by hilarious I mean awesome, that song is fucking epic. I liked listening to like 93% of all the songs across all the albums! Because they all sounded the same! xD Srsly though, the banging songs are all okay, but the acoustic and mellow songs are epic. I love these guys.


Oops, almost forgot, I love you Zooey Deschanel. Be mine. Please? Oops, again...


  • Yes Man [2008] - Jim Carrey and my beloved Zooey, best movie ever! This movie hit me pretty hard. I got all introspective and shit after it, wanted to be a better person and junk, and it almost happened, but luckily I drifted off to sleep and forgot about it...until now...crap.

    Zooey sings! I love her more now. The fake band, Munchausen by Proxy, plays music I love to make fun of. You know, that awful synth-techno-pop or whatever the hell it's called. It's awesome too. Look them up, they made 4 songs for the movie and they're all pretty to listen to.

    The title song, Yes Man, is the least goofy, I love it. Keystar and Sweet Ballad are fucking hilarious.

    And this is NOT a glamour shot, Zooey look slike this ALL THE TIME! Lol...


#1 Reason to Buy a DS

Posted at 01:22 AM on April 29, 2009 Comments comments (1)

Forget about all the homebrew and hackability of the DS for a second. Honestly, this one game may completely, and singly, justify buying a DS. It's called Jam Sessions, where you assign chords to various buttons (you hold them to play that sound) and strum with the touch-screen. I'll have a review on it soon, this is just crazy cool! I wonder if you can finger-pick?


In the meantime, check out this quick video of a simple and beautiful song, played entirely with this "game"

This was a Green Lantern made by feralwolf of the ToySoup forum. I like how gritty it is, this custom was based on a picture I found on Deviant Art, I say she's Samus Aran's sister :]


Eventually my PS skills will improve, for now it's basic cut and paste:


Nightmare interviews The Articulated One!

Because you demanded it! I lie a lot.

Interview with The Articulated One

I forgot all about this!

Posted at 07:36 AM on February 22, 2009 Comments comments (0)
The guy who runs ActionFigureCustoms.com interviewed me a while ago, I stumbled across it again just now! This was even back when I still used that old logo for my customs :P

http://www.actionfigurecustoms.com/2007/12/31/afc-interviews-nightmare-customs/

"This week, AFC Interviews Nightmare, a customizer with a great sense of humor and can back it up with some kickass customs. Let?s learn more about this talented fellow!"

AFC: Tell the fans of your work a little about yourself

Nightmare: My name is Nightmare, no last or first-name, like Cher, but cooler and more ruggedly handsome?wait, I have fans? My address is doc_night665@hotmail.com if anyone wants to throw stuff at me or you can always post on FigureRealm.com?s boards to get my attention. I write reviews on anything, make comics about anything, customize anything, and complain about everything for fun. I live in Hollywood, California, and it can sink into the ocean, man, ?cuz the ugliest place in the whole wide world. I?m 21 soon, but that doesn?t mean anything. I don?t know why I even brought it up. I grew-up poor, I still am, it?s great sometimes. Punisher is my idol. Red Sonja is my Goddess. I have a twisted sense of humor.

AFC: When did you start making customs?

Nightmare: Around the time I started reading Green Lantern comics in the 90?s. I?d use markers to make everything black, white, and green. Ninja Turtles, Ken-dolls, sock-puppets, everything, none escaped my markers? fury.

AFC: How many customs do you work on at one time?

Nightmare: A hundred. No, really, there are tons of ideas floating around in my head all the time, it?s hard to keep track of them. Even when I write them down, a few days later I look at what I wrote and don?t know what the hell I?m saying. Enough fragmented ideas make a whole custom sooner or later though. I have maybe 6 or 7 customs in-progress right now, they?re awesome.

AFC: What is the custom you are most proud of?

Nightmare: Well, I?m going to cheat because I?m most proud of a custom ring I made for a friend, not a figure. The following has nothing to do with figures so feel free to skip this answer, folks. It was silver and simple, there were like three little sharp-leafed flowers in the center and the petals were made of some blue stone, topaz? I don?t remember because it was a while ago and I pretty much scavenged for the parts. The ring was pre-made but I had to make the little flowers and set the stones, which may or may not have been real, hah. I worked on it in Metal Shop class, and I realized half-way through the process that I didn?t know her ring-size, and I obviously couldn?t ask or she?d be suspicious, but I went-on anyway. The teacher was cool and he helped me a few times with melting-point temperatures and tips on soldering, few days later it was done, the ring looked good. Too good. I wanted it to look like I had made it myself but it looked like I had bought it somewhere! So I used a few smelly liquids to try and age the silver, scuff it up a little but ended up deforming it instead, the stones cracked too. That sucked. So I went out and tried to find a ring that matched the one I had made, I found one that was close enough (and cheap enough, lol) and gave her that during lunch in the library. She didn?t know what to say, I wasn?t expecting anything anyway, so we kept talking and lunch was over. I never saw her again. It was the last day of 10th grade, when I got back after vacation she wasn?t at that school anymore. Probably moved somewhere, she was cool. She is missed. I buried the ring in a cave in the nearby park, maybe someone will find it again, good luck to them. Figure-wise, I like my Punisher with the brown gloves and boots. I wouldn?t change a thing.

AFC: What is your favorite toy line to do customs for?

Nightmare: Anything articulated is fine with me because I like using them in my comics, but I?m running low on cash so I?ll have to start customizing some of my older static figures like McFarlane?s military stuff pretty soon. Great chance to make some G.I. Joes, never tried making one before.

AFC: What customs do you have lined up for your next ones?

Nightmare: Ack! Samus Aran, Black Widow, Red Sonja, Buick, Spider-Carnage, Warhawk, Ninja Turtles, on and on. I was talking to Mike of Apathy Ink recently and he suggested I make my own re-invented line of Avengers. I didn?t realize how much black I use on my customs, he suggested I use that ?dark? style on Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Thor, make ?em evil. I would if I had the money to buy the figures needed?

AFC: If you had one piece of advice for other customizers out there, what would you say to them?

Nightmare: Rebel on. When someone tells you Wolverine has to wear brown, make yours purple. When you see everyone painting Transformers to look shiny and new, throw yours out the window, fart on it, and sell it for $100 bucks. When Kyle Robinson and Captain Coder tell you to stop posting libelous spam, kick dirt at their feet and spam away because we all know that spam is delicious. Don?t imitate anyone?s style, learn from it and make it better. Be rugged, be strong, be awesome, be more like that guy from the ?Dos X? Mexican-beer commercials. And don?t take crap from jerks that complain about everything. Next one you see, pop ?em on the nose and tell them Nightmare sent you.

Got nothing important to post, just some stuff I found.

This is the cutest Kirby ever, Tails-Kirby by FighterAmy at Deviant Art.

I had no idea how much Zelda-on-Samus action there is drawn on the internet. It's another one of those things I guess everyone wants to see, like Cammy-on-Chun Li action. Part of me wants to be grossed out by it but most of me wants to laugh and look anyway ;-]

Warning, hentai, lol: Samus and Princess Zelda, Cammy and Chun Li

Saw this on Ebay, someone will make you a custom Revenge Spell to use on someone who broke your heart or something. Now, I'm no tmaking fun of it, I believe in this kind of stuff, but I don't believe in people who spell "Fool" as "Full" and "Faith" as "Fede" xD!!!

Revenge Spell Auction

And behold, the greatest cosplay costume in exsistence, Samus Aran! Besure to browse through her Gallery for more pictures!

Now, just to annoy you, some silly lines I wrote aboot nothing in particular:

swirls are simply crooked lines
once sharply straight and true
curved by sticks or blades of grass
swirls are constant inside you

build a bridge on hopes and dreams
you'll fall among the sea and rocks
effervescent midnight laughs
stem the tide of darker thoughts

some vines are poison when they're cut
leave them be and take a walk
some flowers know that same art
those are the ones we want to fuck

think of petals, not of thorns
feel no pain as fingers shred
in time you'll earn your weight in blood
whether you be among the living
or the dead

Meh

So yeah, I hate you all.

I got some of those beloved Plan B soldiers finally into my hands, these are awesome. The only thing missing to make them perfect is a thigh-swivel somewhere, otherwise they have DCUC-style articulation.

Plus, this guy has a mohawk. Review coming soon.

Also, if you haven't seen it by now, I added the lame Basecoating video to the Video page. Brilliant
