Magic Mountain

Today I did another thing that I'm probably too fucking old to be doing. That would be going to Six Flags Magic Mountain. It's been 10+ years since my last visit, and I don't recall having been on any roller coasters since then. What a world of difference in a decade.

Six Flags has been in troubles financially for a while now and it really shows. There were barely any lines to most of the attractions. It was ridiculous to be already to get right on the Viper without a second of waiting line. We literally walked right in and just sat right down. We ended up going through 10 rides in about 6 hours.

I don't know if it was because of the heat, not getting enough sleep, me reaching a certain age, or all of the above, but I was really dizzy by the time I got off the second ride. Totally weak sauce. I felt like crap after 3 rides, so we decided to go easy for a bit. We took one of those log rides where you come out soaking wet, like you just wet your pants while you were upside down on one of the roller coasters so your shirt is also wet. I got a lot better after that filler ride and we jumped right back onto the crazy ones. Of course, after a couple rides, I started to feel like crap again. Only the last ride we went on, there was a point when I actually felt like I'm going to puke. It's sad to know that I'm getting too old for this shit. Overall though, it was an awesome experience. One that I wouldn't try to recreate in a while...

Michael Lau BMX Blazer China

Michael Lau was tasked with creating the Nike China Federation BMX Racing Team Kit for the upcoming Beijing Olympics. The Blazers and the figures look very nice, but the most unique is the show box. It's made to mud with some tire trackings on it. This is surely a collectible item and will never reach my hands.

Gardener: SK3 and Jordan

For the upcoming Michael Lau exhibition, there will be an SK3 collection. It's sort of a tribute to 3 different Stanley Kubrick movies: Clockwork Orange, Space Odyssey 2001, and Full Metal Jacket. In addition to the SK3, there is also a Jordan figure.

Diablo III

This weekend's big Blizzard announcement is, as everyone predicted, Diablo III. This is exciting news as everybody has been waiting for it for many years. Knowing Blizzard, we will probably see this released in at least 2 years. This is what makes Blizzard games top quality as they're willing to spend time to hone and tweak until it's exactly what they want. Pretty much the whole original Diablo team had left to form Flagship Studios though, so let's see if they're able to live up to their predecessors. On the other hand, Hellgate: London flopped pretty bad, so... we'll see...
