A few of my PGs... I display all my PGs in 2 Detolf shelves with LED lighting.

Nice shelves, I need some like that, I already ran out of space, will probably insert few shelves on my bedroom wall to move some over there. I guess after a while space becomes the biggest problem :). I own my place and rent out one of the bedrooms to my friend, so it doesn't feel right if I fill in the lounge room shelves with just my stuff.

I live by myself, so my Gundams are all over the place without shame. Good luck with the glass Detolfs. They are very heavy in the box due to all the glass, but it's very easy to build and setup if you have someone to help.

Can't wait for MG Epyon!

@jonnyboy383: See, that's exactly what I'll be doing once I move out and start living on my own. My computer room will probably be the "Geek" room with my PC and Gundam all in one room.

I've got too many Gundam's to put on my shelves right now and I have to dust them all off every now and then. The thought of getting dust on your PG's is probably terrifying, isn't it? :p LOVING those PG 1/60 RX models! I've got a huge weakness for Gundam RX models so I'm drooling XD That Zaku looks pretty sweet as well.

@Razorwing: Must...have! Now that I've finished rewatching Gundam 00, I think I might re-watch Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny :p Too bad that the movie from Gundam SEED never became a reality. Who knows what the future might bring. I really hope that they'll still make the movie a reality.

Eilegz posted that here last week :p There's been a 720p rip that's been released. Though I'm not going to watch it until I get my hands on the 1080p rip. It's not even been officially released yet as it'll be released the 7th of April.

I've found a 1080p rip so I'll be watching that today along with the rewatching of "Gundam 00: A wakening of the Trailblazer" to give the Gundam 00 rewatch a good ending :p

Can't edit my previous post so I'll make another one. The rip turns out to be a bad one as MPC can't even render the file. I'll be waiting for BSS to release it as I watch their versions of episode 1 and 2 as well.

The current rips are webrips anyways. First time I saw the 1st episode it was a webrip as well and it had horrible quality. So I'm actually kinda glad I wasn't able to watch this 1080p rip.

As I said man, the movie was not good at all. Too much story, not enough Gundam battles. :laugh:

It was the second time that I watched and I still enjoy it loads, as I said before :p There were enough Gundam battles though Qan[T] could've had a bit more screenplay.

To be honest, Gundam for me isn't only about the mobile suits but it's more about the actual story just like any other anime I've seen. If Gundam actually had the same suits they've used, but had a crappy storyline, I wouldn't have been a fan at all. It's the stories that actually grab me.

That is very true. It's mostly about the story. But I personally don't care about the story, just want to see some badass gundams fight. :D

^That's what I thought :p I'd rather have a reason behind all the fighting. The actual reasons makes me get all excited when they're actually fighting with their mobile suits and make me sit on the tip of my seat.

If it was only about mobile suits fighting each other, it would't really be fun to watch at all. It would just be a Deathmatch video from some game. Would you honestly still be watching if they took away the story line?

Then I get what you mean. You want the current way they do the story lines, but with more mobile suit fights. I thought that before, but then you said you don't care about the story :p

What's in that last post of yours btw? It's complete blank on my end.

It works for me now all of a sudden too. You could've saved the image and uploaded it to Localhostr or something though :p

It looks pretty damn awesome though. The new centerpiece looks so much better then the original and his shield looks great as well.

It doesn't really look any special compared with the other Ail Strikes that are out. Also, it doesn't really look real grade IMO unlike the RX-78-2. The later looks totally different then other RX-78-2 Gunpla and has loads added to the actual design. Even though it somewhat looks nice, I'd rather buy the RG RX-78-2 and the Ail Strike in MG 1/100 form.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By lonegull · Posted

      "...will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update...". Three names that all refer to Windows Update. Does the author even understand what he is writing about?
