Hello all!!!

Pleased to join such an awesome group of people!! I've written a little intro in.... http://thelifestream.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18645 thread, so I won't really repeat myself....

BUT HELLOOOO!!!!!

I've been on a huge binge of listening to the podcasts & love that I understand the level of nerdom and fit in with you guys!!!

I boast having been interviewed for a show down here called 42 Geek Street based on my FFVII collection of figures, statues, books and all that is awesome in the FFVII world! It's my claim to fame but was shattered at how much the interview got cut down & with not having been able to prepare for it, spoke completely off the fly & would love to have my time again and answer better! I may find the link if anyone would be interested... but it does not show my whole collection. Maybe I could make a thread in time showcasing my lovelies!!

Peace out for now and remember to always protect the Crystals! (I love that saying! Good one Vader)

^isn't that the guy who had his beer belly sculpted to look like abs? I hope his approach to plastic surgery isn't reflective of his approach to politics :lol:

Oh, do share anything you got! Here's a grand oul spot for it right over here :)

(I think I found a link to your interview, actually - you're wearing a blue FFVII t-shirt that I want, right? I can send it to you first and you do what you wish with it - you know, just seeing that you weren't 100% sure on whether you wanted to link or not)

Apparently O_O. I think I knew this, but chose to forget it.

Yes Ghost X, yes you are correct, Octo is also right on the money... Where are you guys? Are you Australian or internationals?

The proverbial shit has hit the fan and higher government has booted him and his council out in the past week or two LOL!!!! Whoever would have thought there would be bullying, harrasment and intimidation in Government right?

Anyways, that's another story.

(I tried to "quote" but being a newbie, it said I couldn't do it yet.)

LOL JT, you're a funny one! Are there many other Australians on the forums? I'm sure there must be! I see that many FF cosplayers at cons!

RedFFWolf, yeah I'm sure that's me :D The interviewer is dressed up as Aeris. It's a short interview & I was spewing that the main dude who was behind the camera didn't exactly edit in the more prestigious stuff.... and the link to the other thread.... My jaw dropped!!!! Rhadamante's pictures almost gave me a heart attack!!!

I just missed out on an opportunity to purchase the "Holy Grail" being the Sculpture Arts statue of Aeris.... I've just gained paid employment again and it was 2 days before where an opportunity to purchase this masterpiece was on offer for I think it was just under $1100 AUD, I said/asked my wife, if I start getting paid, can I buy it?! Sure enough... it sold! The seller dropped a few hundred $USD off of it which someone else must have been watching keenly too.... The search continues but yes, I will get some pics up soon I hope. We've shifted house recently too so I need to get my display cabinets filled again!

By all means, bring over the link if you have it on hand. But I stress again, I screwed up & I feel, it doesn't do my collection justice. Plus, unfortunately (I don't know why the main dude didn't see it), one of the light posts was shining on the cabinet door with my more precious statues SO YOU CAN'T SEE THEM :(

I think there are two other regulars from Australia. Most others are European or from North America.

Ahh, hard luck on the Aeris statue!

Here's your link just if you do end up sharing your collection, may as well have the video to go with it :D

I thought you came across really well in your interview! But it is a shame about that glaring light on the cabinet; it's pretty intense, all right.

Ghost X, cool cool! Do you attend any cons in your major city and see much FF cosplay being done?

Thanks RedFFWolf, thanks heaps for that :). I'll try put some time towards getting all my gear out & take some fresh photos then upload them to the appropriate thread this weekend, being a long weekend. I'm juuuuuust about at the end of the 3rd disc of FFIX so I want to smash it out to finish the story, then go back before the point of no return and do some extra stuff with the Moogle Central & the rest of the Chocobo forrests & treasures. SOOOO CLOSE TO THE END!!!

Unfortunately, I never did finish IX back in the day & in one of the pod casts there was a particular spoiler about a character that took me by complete surprise, but I guess it's my own fault for not having finished IX all those years ago.

Tell me, I may have just not searched enough, but is there a thread on the forum per podcast to discuss points? I had something I wanted to share if I could work out the appropriate podcast which my input applied to.
