The Neurotic

So I'll probably resurface and see you guys in a month after this is released. I expected it early next year..... ><

I thought I posted about this great video but I can't seem to find it in my previous postings. This is great fun, especially for gamers like me (incidentally, Richard, the character who is singing, is a Warlock. Yep, my character is Warlock as well. *evil*).



The guys who made this also has a great webcomic that I follow. Check them out at http://www.lfgcomic.com/

About a month ago a small company called Figureprints reared its pretty head onto the gaming world. Specifically the WoW gaming world. Besides the obvious appeal of the product this also appealed to the engineering side of me.

When I was still working as a Mechanical Electronic Consumer Product Design Engineer (*whew* try saying that twice as fast in a party), I would be making a lot of prototypes. I would basically design a product, be it an audio system or printer, over in a 3D CAD system and have a prototype made through a process called SLA. Yes, too much acronyms, jargons and technical stuff being tossed around. I apologize.

Besides the obvious draw of Figureprints, I am actually more interested in the technology behind the product. I have actually listened to several interviews with one of the owners of the company and to my great surprise (and later on, hours of "imagineering") found that it actually merges the basics of the SLA process and printer techology! Why is this so exciting for me? I basically worked with SLA to produce possibly new printer technology and it never crossed my mind to merge the two! It's like a damn orgy of sorts for me! Would I like to see that baby at work, must be a sight.

Yes. I told you guys I was a geek.

One of my favorite webcomics, Penny Arcade also made a funny jab at the product and its possible consequences. lolz

*This has got to be my most link extensive post to date.....or at least the post with the most "<>" to make use of those "fancy" LJ tricks. Yes...I'm usually too lazy to bother with those. :P

This is an awesomely funny WoW commercial. When I was posting this I got to thinking that most likely people below the age range of 25 and below did not even watch Mr. T and the A*Team....I can barely remember those shows myself. Still, that doesn't take away the fact that it is still an awesome commercial. :D
