So… Guess who’s been reworking those Pacific Rim ID badges?
Because some nerd on Tumblr realised that the pilot badges in the art book aren’t actually screen accurate, and some other nerd found screen-caps of Burn Gorman and Charlie Day which look super dang close to the photos on Hermann and Newt’s badges respectively (and may well be the actual images used)?
Hint: It’s me. I am.
With all the recent discussion on the Asylum’s history, you know what I’ve never even made a failed attempt at cataloguing? The blog. Not once.
The habit (or lack there of) likely stems from the early days, when the blog software I was utilising had absolutely no security, so if spam-bots began adding comments to an entry, I’d just delete it. Initially it was a matter of deleting the comments only, but keeping up became tiresome and I sure am lazy.
Considering the highly personal nature of my online activities back in the day, removing that old mess is something which likely would have eventuated anyhow.
Not that we aren’t about to get super up-close and personal here right now! Please, sit down comfortably and pay attention to the rambling tales of my mundane everyday goings-on!
Hello friends.
We recently talked about the Asylum being one year and ten years, which got me looking for any backups left around, even going so far as to try my luck with the Wayback Machine; while there were some snapshots of one of the early versions of the site, all of the images (and many of the links) were unfortunately broken.
Remembering the Asylum was used as a part of my interview folio for tertiary education upon finishing highschool, I had a search for the disk, without much luck. With so many books it may have been tucked into, paired with the fact I’ve moved house since then- it may have been straight up thrown out, or still be somewhere in my parents’ house- for the time being it feels like a lost cause.
Father is disappoint with my inability to reliably maintain such important historical records.
All said and done, I was able to locate a copy of the most recent version prior to the domain change:
This is an image-heavy entry.
Because that book, the one I’ve been working on based on Journal #3 from Gravity Falls, is finally finished. As many pages as I was able to dig up references for have been filled out.
Even references which were unclear or inconsistent were fair game.
