She even got on Colbert with some of her creations!

she's also famous for getting a brain tumor(Brian the Brain Tumor) a year ago and getting really, really real with talking about it, showing the process, afterwards, etc. like the videos she did on it are still funny, they're informative, but they're also heartwrenching and she doesn't cut out the ugly crying or anything. She's an amazing person and I wish I had half the drive and ingenuity she does.

Ah okay. I am passingly familiar with the lovely robots thing. Didn't realize it's the same person. That's cool. She seems awesome. :)

She's also best buds with the Mythbusters guy Adam Savage who is best buds with Weta bossman Peter Jackson who both love doing cool creative stuff with cool creative people. Jackson even let Savage use some of his WW2 biplanes for his aerial dogfight laser tag game.

She does less lovely robots now, I think partly because a lot of them were very similar (put a robot arm on a thing, give it really rough movements that technically do the job), and partly because she actually got better at making them, so they were less genuinely lovely. She's been doing some larger weird projects instead lately, like the Businessmantis Shrimp or turning a Tesla into a pickup truck.

He and Savage toured together with edutainment shows. He also donated his spit so Filthy Frank could bake a cake from it. Vsauce Michael is a man of contrasts.

I've heard nothing good about Deadpool cosplayers, unfortunately

I imagine Deadpool cosplayers would try too hard to be on character. Which only works if you're Ryan Reynolds.

I'm only posting this because I'm in it. It was my first time Cosplaying so obviously a lot of work needed, not least my very un-Daredevil poo poo eating smirk but gently caress it, it's not every day you run into yourself.

It only works about 50% of the time even when you're Ryan Reynolds.

Just about everyone at a con hates Deadpool cosplayers. They're the worst.

quote:

The head is made of out eva foam and paper mache. We layered a beach ball and balloon with about 5-6 layers of paper mache then added the bumps which was just cut up toilet paper roll wrapped in newspaper. We sanded it down and then we covered it with Mod Podge to seal it. Then we painted it and added the ring/skull made out of bristol board. We made the hat by using a heat gun to shape the eva foam and gluing two layers together. The smokestack is made out of Bristol board. We installed two fans: one inside the head blowing air towards our faces and one sitting on top of the head which blew air upwards through the stack to get rid of hot air inside the head. Then we added the smoke which is just cotton balls finger painted with green eyeshadow lol. The eyes and teeth are white craft foam.

All in all we worked on it on and off for about 2 weeks and then really crunched down 3 days before this past weekend.

They take in poisons and toxins through their mouths (hence the mustache) and pump out clean air through the top of their heads

Comes out late November, and now that there's a (non-dockable) version of the Switch that's $100 cheaper, there's never been a better time to jump back in

Especially if you don't care that not all the pokemon are going to be in it - we're redoing Gen III's pokemon availability reboot, so it'll be a few more games before we have the full 'dex back, which has made people mad for some reason

Yeah my kids got switch and a remote broke already on it. I’m hesitant to consider the cheaper model because the controls are built in. Probably just buy a full size one and pick it up before I go do navy stuff for the year.
