Ok Fine, One More For The Road

I know I said that I would be going today (and I still am), but I'm having some problems sleeping right now. See, I fell asleep around midnight. When I awoke, I begin having thoughts of "Well, time to finish packing" and "Time to make myself some breakfast". About that moment, I decide to see what time it was and looked at my clock (which is about 20 min slow because of a power outage) and see something I did not expect: 2:00 am.

"%@#$%!", I exclaim. It appears that I was only asleep for no more than two hours. I tried going back to sleep, but I eventually gave up as the thing that keeps me awake more than anything is sleep itself.

Out of boredom I begin browsing the internet, checking my email, facebook and the such. During my browsing, I come upon and article from Kotaku (and yes, one of my goals is to diversify my gaming news sites) about something I wrote of not too long ago.

It appears that the IRL Gundam built in Japan has also taken a step into the virtual world as well. To celebrate the 30th anneversery of the Gundam franchise, a virtual replica of the Gundam statue will be added to PS3 Home from today until July 23rd.

Hey I'll get to play Left 4 Dead 2 at Comic Con...

So that's what Japan's been doing

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise, a life-size Mobile Suit in Japan's Shiokaze Park. Oddly enough, it'll only be up for two months. One would think that with all that effort to build it, it'd be up for longer than that. Must be a Japanese thing.

Sadly, the only parts of the Mobile Suit that moves is the head, along with little mists that come out from various parts. I for one, would have loved to see a real, fully-functional giant robot. It'd sure show North Korea who's boss, that's for sure.
