I figured I’d put these videos up as I had them all uploaded (had to reup ep 5 as the sound was off slightly but yeah). I wanted to redo the music as a lot of people found it annoying but I haven’t had a chance yet, and the blog posts and information aren’t done, and won’t be until I have time.

I’m sorry for not being active these days, I just can’t find the time to write about beyblades like I used to. I’ve got a bunch of stuff nearly done (eg the force smash thing I mentioned last update) but those last few steps are still too huge for me to take right now. I’m busy job-hunting at the moment, too, which doesn’t help.

Anyway, the videos are now up. Seem a bit shit to me in hindsight but whatever, maybe someone will enjoy them.

Sup

Oh hey, small number of people who are reading this!
I’ll have a new post real soon. I hoped to have it done yesterday, but it’s taken longer for a few reasons – I’ve split off a drier version of it for posting in the advanced forum (as the topic needs to be discussed there) and had to work on my entry for the Design a Zero G Burning Kerberous for the WBO’s 4th Anniversary Celebration (well, I couldn’t really skip it, could I?)

Anyway, sorry for the delay to anyone I promised it to sooner, but I promise I’ll have it done in the next day or two!

It’ll be about “Force Smash” and how dumb a name that is and other stuff. Might be a bit dry as it’s not really focussing on a beyblade but eh

Why I shouldn’t work on the database when tired

Griffolyon (Takara)
AR: Cross Griffon
-Four well spaced, sharp contact points
-Hits very hard, slightly more recoil than triple wing but power more than makes up for it
-Do not pick it up while spinning
-Seriously, do not pick it up while spinning
-YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE IS BLOOD SO MUCH BLOOD LET ME TELL YOU WHY
-YOU PICKED UP CROSS GRIFFON WHILE IT WAS SPINNING
-It’s a really Cross Griffon (maybe because it comes with such a pathetic base)
-Violent nature results in more opposing part/stadium breakage than normal.
WD:Whatever
BB: Griffolyon Base
-Four poles hang down to destroy any possible LAD, and they bulge out of the perimeter even at the top of the base to create massive recoil when hit by opponents
-Sharp tip so it doesn’t move and scrapes real fast
-Tip extends from a solid cylinder sitting inside a tube in the BB, allowing minor free spin. This does not make anything better.
-Arguably the worst base ever made
-Seriously you’d be cross too if you had to put up with this cramping your style

twitter ok

EDIT: I’ve added a twitter widget to the side bar so this blog doesn’t totally stagnate while I’m super busy writing for beywiki. I’ll try to finish the video series and get another blog post up soon but yeah.

So I made a twitter that I will actually use as a proper twitter (I have another that I don’t use other than for angry,
yet impotent raging at various things). It’ll be mainly beyblade related – largely because beyblade is how I spend a lot of my time, though I’ll also cross into other things I like/find cool, and just general inane twitter babbling. Also, seeing as I’m at least temporarily (hopefully permanently/until project completion) doing beywiki plastics stuff officially, there will be plenty of dull tweets about that, in terms of progress, todo lists and other updates on what I’m doing.

140 characters is a silly limit but I guess it stops me rambling so that’s something, but I can’t do chatspeak any more so it might be tough. Also, seeing as it’s of a more impulsive nature and I am ‘strayan (and a horrible person), I will probably swear semi-regularly, so if you’re a little babby you should steer clear.

But yeah here’s the link (I’m still setting everything up, though): https://twitter.com/th1nkWBO
I reserve the right to abandon it but I’m a self indulgent little prick so it may well last.
I’ll quite happily talk to myself anyway so whatever.

The Mighty 10bBistool! Part 3: Budget Buys and Real Compacts.

Yeah, no video yesterday, didn’t have internet. Anyway, here’s part three, in which we watch 10bBistool face off against Driger G Uncustomized (more on that after the break) and a Driger S Compact – something it’s supposed to beat! Will 10bBistool finally win a match, having come so close last episode? What? If I told you it’d spoil the video, why are you even asking? Exactly! Video after the break!

The Mighty 10bBistool Part Two!

Second video of this five part series is up! In this video, we watch 10bBistool do glorious battle with two types of upper attack (traditional and spin stealing) as well as a nailbiting match against a Circle Survivor Defense (AKA Wolborg 4) combination!
Video and information after the break!

The Mighty 10bBistool Part One!

First video of this five part series is up! I’ll be trying to upload them either daily or when they’re done depending how I feel.
In this episode, I introduce 10bBistool (i.e. ramble at length), and then we watch it battle a hybrid attacker, weight based defender (my customize metal change setup) and a defensive zombie!
Video and information after the break!
