When we entered into covid quarantine at its onset, my wife suggested that I start live-streaming & you-tubing my love of building in The Sims 4. That's all it was, but now it's actually beginning to gain some forward momentum! So here I am continuing to make content to share my 80s/90s pop-culture knowledge whilst playing games, playing with toys, drawing, and well, just simply sharing what makes me, me.
All this, plus millennial dad-humor with authentic South Jersey charm...and accent. Now if that isn't a win-win.
Thanks! Be wary, it's incredibly weak in its engineering. It broke again after this video trying to transform him back! Maybe there's a reissue with am update. Either way, gotta love small objects become gigantic robots!
Thank you for showing us a tour of your Deviant Art and your Soundcloud profiles. I'm glad drawing has been helping you. Your art is very good. I love that you are redesigning the Decepticons with wheels and for a modern age. It's really fun that your cat (McKatten) inspires you too. I also appreciate you opening up about your diagnosis. I know that can be a very personal thing to do for some people, especially online. I feel like this information aids in understanding you better. I enjoyed watching you play this retro Megaman game. I hope you continue enjoying things that you love. I appreciate you sharing it with viewers. I know you have been struggling with a few things over the past couple of years. It is refreshing to hear someone talking openly about life's challenges. I'm genuinely hopeful for the best for you and your family. I consider you a friend. Be well, Greg. Talk to you again next stream. "Have a day."
It's nice to see you again, Greg. I'm happy to see you making any content again, let alone, The Sims 4. Thanks for pushing through the struggle to share your talents with us again. ❤ Your top-tier pop-culture references still make me laugh with recognition. I'm sad to hear that you and your wife are sick with Covid. I wish you both a speedy recovery. I also hope that you find a workplace and an employer who understands you and your unique talents and needs. I am glad you were able to get a diagnosis. I hope having knowledge and understaning of yourself empowers you and doesn't hinder you. I think you are a really great person and I enjoy interacting with you when given the opportunity. I hope more people take the time to watch your content and get to know you.
Oh heck yeah, the diagnosis helped tremendously, especially factoring in being the scapegoat of the matriarch. It also gives me pleasure to stop, mid random comment, and think, "lol, I'm a schizoid." Also with looking for work amd understanding what I need to succeed. So many past issues make sense now, for better or worse. Thanks for the kindness.
its a relly cool castle, a shame you don't have more praise for your work. Its sure it would be not as cool since v rising lack some feature in building like changing roof, interesting to see in v rising.
Loved it! Very well done, man! And I do have a suggestion, but man would it be an absolute migraine to pull off… the mansion from ‘The Conjuring House’ game lol Publisher had to later change the name of the game to ‘The Dark Occult’ due to copyright issues with the conjuring movies lol)
This is an amazing build. My wife and I just recently played RE2 this year, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour through your build. It was a good time seeing all of the different locations where we have been frantically running away from Mr X. Super blown away with this. It absolutely deserves way more views!!
Good job .. I personally disliked his robot mode .. and to be honest my MP Meg . Stays in hun mode .. even though he’s magnificent.. I don’t want to risk a broken part
Actually the paint probably helped some of the looseness of some of those joints.i know mine which is the 2005 Japanese reissue has loose arms and legs
Really enjoy watching you make these lots from scratch. Idk how to say, but you're relatable and down to earth. Right down to the writing you mentioned. I enjoy writing, cinema and media. I'm the same way when making video game/random lots, I've done resident evil, silent hill (subway system, school, alleyway, the town, and most otherworld lots for sh1, sh2 and sh3), cyberpunk, the witcher, and a lot more. Everything you say out loud is literally what I say in my head while building and analyzing the build and making errors lol. I'd share my lots to give you an idea if you'd like man. I tend to use them for photos and story telling. Only difference is that I use a ton of cc so I can't even imagine how more badass your builds would be if you used cc as well. Keep up the amazing masterpieces! Feels like we would have been good bros if we met irl. Subscribed!
Just some advice from a longtime modeller. Strip the old paint off the metal (because the new paint will never look 'right' with the old paint under it, especially on metal). Sand it and fill the pits in it and sand some more:) Then primer it. Then your color. Then your top coat. It sounds annoying...because it is:) But you'll get a real smooth finish.
Man, jot a clue. Ice been out for a while, so I can't even check! You ll need yo share pics whereupon uou embark on your quest. I'm actually debating undoing what I've done and go classic, either new decals and all. Thanks for watching,!
So I actually had this figure. I loved it. But my step mom decided to look for it, steal it and then break it. The piece that holds the barrel to the rest of the figure, it was already hanging on by a thread as I bought it that way, then when my step mom stole it, she broke the rest of it off and when my actual mom got her to return it, it was broke, beyond repair. I was only 16 years old too. Had bought it with birthday money. 😭😠,
Aww, man. First, the design was so poor I swear no one who actually played with it as a kid didn't have that barrel come off. But it st least could still hold in place in gun form. That's BS about your step mom. She did purely to hurt you? Like, no other reason? Man, I feel ya.
That's how a "Transformers The Movie" (or "Retro") 2023 reissue of G1 Megatron would look like if there was no law against realistic toy guns. Great job!
They do that anyway and that toy was never all that realistic. Kinda like banning those little gunpowder noisemaker toys. Was really silly. Not that you'd opt for that over a tablet pc anyway.
A insightful review with comparisons with the og toys, good original music, interesting points, funny video, amazing editing. Did i find the transformers Holy Grail?
That was my biggest disappointment with the movies; straying completely from familiarity. The only connection I had was Peter Cullen. Everything else was like the infamous Aklaim TMNT. Like, the names and general concept were there, but that was about it. Ahem. I digress.
Wow... I didn't think anyone would make a video about this! I really like this house. Sometimes I get confused about the house in this game, and I really want to know what the outside of this house looks like. And I found this video, I was so happy to be able to see what this house looked like from the outside, even though it might not be the same as in the game. And I've never played this game before, but I've seen people on RU-vid playing it, so I got interested in this house. And I wish I could play this game and have this house in real life. "Thank you for making this video"
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed this game and had to decode the house's ridiculous Floorplan. It is soooooo not a real plan. Thanks for watching!
bluestreak was named after the expression to talk up a bluestreak. He was supose to basically talk nonstop. Thats why he was called bluestreak not because of his color.
Never heard of the term for talking. So they went with what we thought when they made Silverstreak: being named for the color. Just call him Streak like the original.
Completely untrue and this is only being passed around as a fact through internet discourse. There is absolutely no evidence for this with even Bob Budiansky refuting it.
@adadwhogames no evidence of what that other guy was saying. He was not named because he "talked a blue streak." He was named Bluestreak because the toy Bob Budianski was given was a Diaclone blue Datsun. He's confirmed this.
kinda sad that we can't get modern Transformers figures with altmodes that are even remotely gun-like anymore without fudging a 'submarine mode 'due to a mix of cops mistaking them for real guns and hurting innocents, and people having used them as props in 'armed' robberies. Good work! Also I gotta ask, does isopropyl damage more recent clear plastics?
Dude, I swear I responded! Yes. Too much fogs it, but I'm pretty sure polishing would remove it. I painted to clear portions of the others to replicate the cartoon. A little is great for decals, though. It's the classic, test-on-an-inconspicipus-area, kind of thing. So sorry for not responding sooner!
I just got on a kick, restoring a vintage G1 Optimus. I know how you feel when restoring something! It's amazing! Megatron's gun mode is fantastic! Robot mode, not so much.
Sing it. I custom painted my G1s, but I might try to bring them back to OG glory. My brother took my Optimus for his kids Then I went no contact. You have pics? I'd love to see it!
@@adadwhogames Nice! Where should I send the pics? As for Optimus, get your pre-order in for Missing Link Prime!! It's a MUST HAVE. Pulse is sold out of both flavors. (Toon w/o trailer, toy with trailer) You'll have to see if Amazon/ BBTS ect still has it available for pre-order. Don't miss it! I ordered the Toon variant and will pair it with a vintage 1984 "T" #2 trailer using a bloated prime gray Roller!
I’m holding out hope that Takara will create a more posable version of G1 Megatron, or even a total redo so that he has properly scaled limbs and no trigger crotch
Well there ya go. 😉 I was pretty arbitrary with my designing. I only focused on making sure the outside worked. It's nice to know that my effort at recreating the vibe worked! Thanks for stopping by!
@@adadwhogames Was looking tours inside the house and your video showed up on my recommendation. I was around 13 when my mom introduced me to The Nightmare on Elm Street franchise.
I just remember my teenage cousin talking about how scary it was (I was in elementary school when it came out). Her name was also Nancy, soooo she was all the more spooked by Freddy.
Man, this is incredible! I once attempted this on my own, but it was really hard and gave up, so I understand the effort and time you put into this, great job!
