Let the Chaos Begin...

Today was the first day of my two rest days. And most of it was spent taking down the displays on my shelf. 

I want a total change of scenery on my shelf. Those displays have been on there for too long and got a little boring. So tomorrow I will start putting my figures back on the shelf plus the newer stuff that I’ve got in recent months.

In other news, our office bought an Xbox 360 for all the employees to play with during breaks, lunches and down times. It comes complete with Kinect and all that stuff but it doesn’t really have a lot of games in it aside from UFC and NBA2k12. Nobody plays with it (much to my delight lol) so earlier I played NBA2K12 for over 6 hours! I’m still getting used to the xbox controller because I’ve been a PS player all my life but I’m getting better. 

The LA Lakers have their own big three. They have one of the best front court players in the league right now and arguable the second best player to ever play the game. But what is lacking? Why are they in this dangerous spot early on in the season?

I am not really a basketball analyst but I love watching the game and I do know how it goes. So here is my attempt to figure out what the Lakers need to better their game and get to the finals again this year.

• Better back court assistance - No offense to Derek Fisher, but he is getting old. He is known as the league’s current “Iron Man” for not missing a single game since god knows when. He has been playing for over 500 games straight and he needs a lot of help especially now that his backup Stephen Blake is out with a rib injury.

• Go Deep - The Lakers’ bench has never been the same since Lamar Odom left and Metta World Peace is doing his best to be the bench’s leader but the team has not gotten any substantial help from them since the season opener. Young guys like Morris and Goudelock need to step up their game.

• Better Execution - Phil Jackson’s absence can be really felt most of the time and that is understandable since the team is still adjusting to Mike Brown’s new system. They have been utilizing the triangle offense for so long and trying a new system could take some time but they need to hurry up that process if they hope to end the regular season above .500.

I’ve been trying to find out what I can do with the new Marvel Legends and here is what I have going so far.

A classic scene of Commander Steve Rogers taking on some HYDRA soldiers.

In the comics, he uses a transparent photon shield that comes out through his wrist and it’s available as a variant but I don’t have that yet. And I’m planning to make a custom one soon.
