Seriously, could it possibly get ANY worse than right now? Oh right, I have to explain first. Okay, this may sound ridiculous to you, but Gin-chan, my second laptop has died on me, this time because of some internal problem (either fried RAM or motherboard). This happened a couple weeks ago, and it's just now that I have access to the internet again, thanks to my PS3 (but I'm limited to weird interfaces and 500 characters per message), so I'm recovering from my cyber withdrawals.

So now, I can't access anything on my computer, since it'll simply restart itself over and over every time I turn it on until it runs out of power or I turn it off manually. All my documents, schoolwork, music, pictures, programs. Everything, gone, and yet the thing containing it is within my reach.

So yeah, I'm pissed, to be honest. Computer problems are happening way too much to me in such a short time to be a coincidence. I think God's conspiring against me. Again. Anyway, it seems that the only computer that might survive with me using it is something better than a top-of-the-line PC. No, I still refuse to use Macs, since I need to do virtually everything on it, and Macs can't do everything. Then again, PC's can only do everything if they wind up dying in the process.

You know what I'm about to say...so say it with me!
One, two, three!

I hate my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After taking part in what is starting to become this massive steal chain, I came up with a Zoid concept that is both original and somewhat official. Surprisingly enough, the idea received a lot of props, despite the idea being a mere side note. In my previous journal, which can be found here: [link] the subject was on Zoids (duh), and covering some of one's preferences and history.

Anyway, when I had to figure out what Zoid I would pilot, I had a hard time choosing (and not just choosing between one or two). As you all know, Mugen Liger's an immediate "hell yes" (look at my avatar and be awed by its awesomeness, newcomers!), but when it comes to practicality, Mugen's not exactly a good choice, as its sole weapons are all close range or melee.

Practically, I would probably be using an Energy Liger (the Hasbro/Guylos Black), and that on its own has more than enough firepower (with only two weapons, mind you!) to take down a small squad of foes by itself. With max speed of 412.8 mph (yes, I did the conversions, damnit), nuclear generators, and a wide range of customization and hard points available, I <3<3<3<3 it. However, since I'm not using the Fuzors version of it, E-Liger has a HUGE flaw. I don't know if it's common knowledge or not, but the Energy Liger has an operation time of exactly 5 minutes. Not exactly my idea of my personal mount. Also, the Imperial Liger also lacks (to an extent) melee capability, as most of its weapons or that type are realistically hard to use.

Now, I was just thinking on a tangent here, but what if I could throw Mugen Liger and Energy Liger together? It isn't that unrealistic, as I made 7 different E-Liger variants (a few of them required multiple Energy Ligers. Though I didn't take pictures of them, these are the configurations.

HAS, (Heavy Artillery System, featuring Death Stinger's CPC and tail weapons, Fire Phoenix's leg cannons among others, for long-range, devastation bombardments);
GBX, (GunblasterX, featuring, multiple E-Liger weapons, some of Gunblaster's Rolling Cannon armaments, among others, for long-range, suppressive fire/precision attacks);
KWX, (Konig WolfX, featuring E-Liger stripped of all armor, replaced with some of KW's armor and jump boosters, for max speed);
CU, (Commander Unit, basically a slightly heavier armored E-Liger without the horn and with Elephander's chest guns on);
CPX, (Chimera PhoenixX, featuring a fusion between E-Liger and virtually every BLOX component I had, for firefights);
RF, (Retro-Fitted, customizing the wing/stabilizers, armor, and mounting Flyscissor's X-Breakers on it, more like a personal unit);
Omega, (The only E-Liger variant never finished, featured Berserk Fuhrer's Buster Claws, HAS, GBX, RF, and CU units).

So I thought, if I could do that, why couldn't there be a mixture between Mugen and Energy Liger? At first, I merely thought of adding some of Mugen's armor and its katanas to E-Liger, but now that I read the comments from my previous journal, I feel like actually attempting a full merge between the two. Of course, I have to use either DoGA or Metasequoia, but I actually want to try to attempt this. This will be the first time since I have joined DA that I have tried working with pre-made, "official" designs, even though I'm fusing two of them. Well, wish me luck!

I stole this idea from , who stole it from , hope neither of them mind. Since I've left the realm of Zoids alone for a long, long, time, I felt that it was only right to give them the attention they deserve.

First Zoid:
My first Zoid, if I remember correctly, was a Hasbro Zaber Fang, which somehow disappeared, except for one or two of its parts. After that, I started getting more Zoids (both BLOX and regular, usually the Liger/Tiger/Fury sized ones).

Favorite Zoid:
Ah, crap, here we go. Well, favorites from all of the Zoids that I've seen, Mugen Liger, hands down (come on, look at my avatar), followed by Berserk Fuhrer, Konig Wolf, Liger Zero, Blade Liger, Pteramander, and I'm going off topic, but they're all a close second. Model wise, Energy Liger (also one of my favorites.

Favorite release/line:
Honestly, I don't really care as any Zoid from any line is better than none.

Holy Grail:
Again, ah crap. If I absolutely had to choose... I hate my life, I can't choose. All Zoids would be my Holy Grail (especially if I wound up customizing them). Hell, all mecha are my Holy Grail (with some exceptions).

Zoid(s) I'd pilot:
Besides the Zoids I design? Well, odds are, they're going to be heavily customized... Off the top of my head, Mugen Liger, Energy Liger (merge them together and hell yes, I have my main unit), Konig Wolf, Berserk Fuhrer, Pteramander, Buster Eagle, (I'm not going to go any farther into BLOX, as every single one I got was fused with all the others). Basically speed with a mix of both close and long range, usually with strong weapons.

Favorite series:
All of them, minus Fuzors, as I never got to finish it.

Stuff I'd like to see in the newest lines:
Remakes of EVERYTHING from beginning to end (although I have heard rumors that the Zoids line has been ended permanently).

Misc:
I wish I could have all of my old Zoids back and some of the ones that I have never obtained. Odds are, I would still be tinkering and customizing them to no end. And as I have seen awesome paintjobs and customs on here, I would be attempting to do the same.

uber cybernetic cookie to whoever knows where the title came from

Yeah, I'm sick (as much as I hate to admit it), and despite all of my protesting, I'm now stuck in my bed with only Gin-Chan connecting me to the outside world. Normally, students try to feign sickness to skip school. I try to fight my sickness to continue going to school. Kind of ironic, isn't it? Especially when the person saying this is the only person (or one of very few people) that normally wear outfits made famous by the people that fight the system (trenchcoat, tripp pants, chains, all of them black obviously, the works).

So my symptoms started showing up on Tuesday, the day when my fashion teacher called in sick (for the same reason apparently), and it took the staff all the way to Thursday morning to convince me to go home. At that point, it got really bad (the sickness). My symptoms are currently:

-Massive Headache
-Really Painful Cough (both dry and producing)
-Runny Nose
-Mucus in the Lungs
-General Pain All Over My Body (from sleeping)

In the case of the last one, from Tuesday to now, I've slept for about 60 hours in a more or less uninterrupted phase. It's probably a lot more, but I don't remember that much. Anyway, I'm confined here with my sick self, and virtually nothing to do today (more like forbidden to do anything that requires me to get out of bed). I hate my life...
