excalibur

Good Smile Company just released a new series for its “Metal Charm” line up. This 2nd series, with Nanoha as the 1st, will be based on the Fate series under the name “Fate Metal Charm Collection” ^^

The first release from this new line up will be Saber’s Excalibur, “Fate Metal Charm Collection #01 – Excalibur”. It’s scheduled for November 2008 release for 2,800 Yen. I think GSC’s did an Advanced Sale on this during Comiket 74.

I don’t know about the Thompson Cotender gun, but maybe it’s from Fate/Zero? Not very familiar with the series’ story ^^;

Death Sauce & Sudden Death Sauce

August 7, 2008

Saw this video today. It’s so funny I just have to post this~XD

Basically the clip is about some people who tried to taste one of the most spiciest Tobasco sauce in the world, Death Sauce and the higher level Sudden Death Sauce. Their reactions are just too amusing~XD Even the old man, who is supposed to be really good with spicy stuffs, can’t even hold a straight face~XD You can hear the word “Karai” a lot, which means Spicy ^^

Can you guys eat spicy food? I can eat spicy food, but I remember eating one that is so spicy it makes me cry~XD
