Welcome, loyal subjects of the Cobra – er, OG13 empire, to the unveiling of this week’s Research and Development projects.

Over 30 individual customs were revealed, including an incredible 18 from one of our newest recruits, CiBe240! Read on, if you dare, and be sure to leave your comments below or follow the links to the individual threads. COBRAAA!

[CUSTOMS] Dravenheart’s Royal Flush Gang

From the desk of Dravenheart:

If Spawn was the single most difficult figure I’ve ever made, this is definitely the most agonizing set I’ve ever fixed up. So much trial and error. And white. Didn’t help that these guys have looked different in just about every appearance they’ve ever had. So, it took some discussing to work out exactly which designs were desired in the request. And then we had bonus stuff.

For Jack, Queen and King, the arms and torsos were all sculpted. Added hair and the crown to the King head, and just the crown to Jack. Added some sculpt to an alternate Ace head to give him the battle damaged look to show part of the cybernetic head underneath. Added some sculpt to King’s belt to give it a smoother look, and then sculpted the crown onto Queen’s hair. From there, everything was just parts swaps and then some really tedious repainting. And then the cards. Card stands were requested, so I custom made Ace’s out of those washable tattoo sleeves. Glued two together to make them sturdier. For the other cards I glued them three thick. Added a magnet in each figure’s foot, and then a metal piece to each card. After all that, I cut out some throwing cards for Jack, throwing spades for 10, modified a Cable gun for 10, modified the Halo grenade for Queen, and gave King a sword. Whew. And…done!

Nerds With Attitude Podcast: Episode 11 – VIDEO GAMES!!!

News Comments Off

Dec 232015

Video games are currently a billion-dollar industry, with games available for everything from your phone to your home computer and gaming consoles. Popular gaming titles have spawned franchise tie-ins such as movies, comics, and other media. Games weren’t always this popular or widespread, however. Although many of the games listed here are now available to play at home and on mobile devices like the ones from onlinecasinoreviewsuk.com, once upon a time you had to go to an actual arcade to play these seven classic video games.

I have been playing computer games since I was six. It was through gaming that I learnt how to access computers. In those days you had to know what you were doing with your computer for the games to work on it.

Nowadays almost everyone plays games on the new mobiles and tablets. All age groups, all social strata. Gaming is socially acceptable today. You are no longer the nerd gaming away on his own; you are connected to the rest of the world via the internet even when you are playing games. You communicate via a headset and camera, drink a beer as you play and chat about everything under the sun.

Personally I prefer to play shoot-‘em-ups and strategy games. I don’t like MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games such as World Of Warcraft). I find it too stressful and it takes up too much time. I usually play games for two hours at a stretch every day. But I don’t have a television.

Deep from inside the Nerds With Attitude basement, fully stocked with Mountain Dew and Funyuns, it’s an episode all about video games! Wondering what are the best free casino games? check the from gurusway to the best gaming experience.

OG-One-Three Filecards: An Interview With… CodeNameSparks

News Comments Off

Dec 122015

Time to dust off what IS one of the coolest features of OG13.com…a personal salute to our Brothers-in-Arms!

Welcome once again to another installment of the OG-One-Three Filecards Thread. Today we get to trade barbs with codename: Sparks, also known as CNF (hard to shake the undying adulation he has towards one of our founders, but hey–a fresh supply of dead hookers whenever your heart desires? Who can resist?)!

In 2012, at the behest of OG13’s recruiter-extraordinaire Spiderpumpkin, our PIF group from that other forum–including codename: Sparks–defected to OG13, and instantly found a home here. codename: Sparks, along with his pretty chill wife, was the first BrOGer I had ever met in person, back in 2013, @ Indiana Joecon. He was a huge part of my first Joecon experience, as friendships forged via OG13 have me eagerly anticipating each year’s Joecon. To hell with high school reunions!

I am proud to shine the spotlight on my good buddy, Adam! Enjoy the insight into this integral member of the greatest forum on the planet…

Let’s get cookin’ with gas. Adam, what all do you collect?
