Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer…You're Falling in Love With Them

The Guardians of the Galaxy are here! And they are hooked on a feeling, high on believing that you're in love with them. Yes the song in the trailer by Blue Swede is oddly appropriate for this ragtag band of cosmic misfits that no one in the Marvel Universe or OUR universe for that matter seems to know. 

Nerd Builds: HG Sengoku Astray

Hello nerds! Once again sorry for the long lapses between posts. And while the internet beeps and hoops and uploads and downloads, the real world still turns. On this rotation of the earth my grandpa had a stroke and a best friend had a baby. It's been a long week. But you can rest assured that if I ever have to choose between the internet and real life, I will choose without hesitation…real life. 

This week Nerd Builds features the 1:144 HG Sengoku Astray Gundam from the Gundam Build Fighters series. Once again every model that comes out from this series looks great because they are supposed to be customized models. This model was build by American Nils Nielsen and is a custom build of the Astray Red Frame.

Comic Book of the Week for 2/12/14

Before I talk about today's CBotW, I just wanted to let everyone know that…WonderCon is back in Anaheim this April and the badges came out Friday~! If you've never been to a comic convention you should buy your badges ($50) and go to WonderCon at the Anaheim Convention Center!

Also I originally intended to publish this post Saturday, but there was a family emergency and my gramps is in the hospital. Sorry for the lapse, and your prayers are much appreciated.

Okay, today's comic book of the week features another new comic book from the Marvel NOW! line. She-Hulk #1 is out this week and if this is the caliber comic that this issue portends to be, were in for an hilarious ride a-la Hawkeye.

Don't let the awesome cover art fool you, this is a quirky, hilarious comic.

Jesus Loves Noobs: Mobile Fighter G Gundam

Hello fellow noobs! It's been awhile so hopefully y'all have had the chance to hope on to some of the stuff we introduced the last few JLN's and you're ready for something new. Today I want to introduce you to my guilty pleasure Gundam animated series: Mobile Fighter G Gundam! I say guilty pleasure because it may not rank up there as the best series but it's just fun, and at the end of the day isn't that what matters?

Nerd Builds: HG Wing Gundam Fenice

Happy Monday nerds~! Today's build is the High Grade Wing Gundam Fenice from the Gundam Build Fighters series~! Custom built by the Italian Ricardo Fellini, it definitely has an ethnic flair as the normal Gundam colors have been replaced with red, green and an off white. The asymmetrical look really works for this Gundam also. Anyways, enjoy!

All the Gundam Build Fighters have been good looking so far including the Fenice.

Comic Book of the Week 2/07/14

So this week's CBotW is actually TWO comics! Because Marvel is starting the "Marvel NOW!" line, there are a lot of new comics coming out and this week we have a couple comics, one for a new take on an old villain, and the other, one of my personal favorites since I was a child.

Nerd Life: The Compton Initiative

This past Saturday some of our church members and I had a chance to go out to the city of Compton to serve the community through small beautification projects. We've been joining the Compton Initiative on their quarterly service days for the last few years and every time it has been a blessing to see just how much God works through the willingness of a few people (well 2-3 thousand to be exactish). Anyways, Sometimes it's houses, sometimes it's churches, and sometimes it's schools. In any case, the projects vary from cleaning, to painting and this past Saturday we were blessed to be able to paint a church in the community.

Nerd Builds: RG Aile Strike Gundam

Happy Super Bowl day football fans, and if you're a Seahawks fan then congratulations. Today's build is the Real Grade, 1:144 scale Aile Strike Gundam piloted by Kira Yamato from the Gundam Seed animated series (which was recently voted 2nd best Gundam series of all time!). This build was the challenge that I needed since I've been kinda stuck on the Gundam Build Fighters line of HGs for awhile. It wasn't as hard as my first RG build which was the RG RX-78-2 as I have picked up some tricks since then.

Per usual, some great box art.
