I think it would be cool to use 3D printers for game pieces and stuff like that. I mean I love to use it to make custom Monopoly items or just general pieces for games.
I never thought of that despite having heard of people doing this. You could make game pieces or pins of your favorite series, tools or vehicles.
Sci-Fi board game pieces with Delorean, Enterprise, Telephone Booth Time Machine/Tardis, etc.
Super, super impressed with the solo podcast. I won’t lie when it started I was wondering how it could work. Solo podcasts aren’t something I tend to dig. It kept my interest throughout though. It was weird. Like you were talking to me are something in a good way. Not saying get rid of your hosts or anything. Just needed to give out those kudos.
Really glad to hear you say that. I was trying to not get boring or to keep interest. Also I was trying to dig out of the box of what we used to do with the more random pieces of information. I’m glad it went over well and appreciate the kind words! I will probably be doing this every so often to discuss things but not necessarily need a host to hang with (not that I will be getting rid of them). I do have some plans to switch this show up in the future in a good way with new voices.
II’d love to have my own action figure. So I can say I’m playing with myself and it not be weird.
I know I’d love to have my own figure to display. I really love that idea honestly. Then I may actually have a battle with the Joker ROJ I made lol.
This is more like it. Not the talking about a Batman V. Superman rumor, then talking about how you hate rumors, then talking about another, then talking about how you want a trailer, then talking about another, then talking about how you are sick of the hype. I was never bored and Steve you kept it moving from one thing to another. Good mix of topics as well.
to be fair to steve…… I was the one who constantly bitched about the BS that is BVS, but that was just how I felt with each new stupid news item that came out about a film we’ve seen nothing from and is 2 years away! when it’s all said and done BVS will have had SIX DAMN YEARS of hyping up…. seeing as they announced it at comiccon 2012 or something like that.
As I was saying I’m glad the podcast had none of this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It was also announced in 2013 not 2012.
still it seems like forever LOL glad ya liked this weeks show.
My one worry with have an action figure of me is having my likeness in a package with the label WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD SMALL PARTS
LOL That’s really funny.
After this episode all I can say is: I want a full size house made of legos.
I would combine the questions and use a 3D printer to make my own action figure. I’m going to go with Star Wars classic scale. I would love to have my likeness in an old Jedi uniform or Storm Troopers.
