The Ramblings of Guise Dugal

Wow, it’s halfway through the year. About 6 months since and until Christmas and I finally get around to discussing my thoughts and feelings on the Playmobil Advent Calendars that I bought for Christmas 2009.

Day 1 (Pt 1): Guise gets Bunny-fied in a random act of Christmas magic Day 1 (Pt 2): Guise wanders the Playmobil wilderness and two mysterious characters are NOT introduced! Day 2: Guise wanders the Playmobil wilderness STILL. The mysterious man gets some rather suspicious goodies. Two advent calendars still hide their secrets! Day 3: [...]

Previously on The Great Guise Advent Rip-Off: Day 1 (Pt 1): Guise gets Bunny-fied in a random act of Christmas magic Box 1 Guise: Well, this is just perfect…seriously, what could be better than being transformed in to a Playmobil bunny? You know, besides NOT being transformed in to a Playmobil bunny! At least I [...]

Wow, been a long time since I updated. In the meantime I’ve tried my hand at daily vlogging (which is a lot harder to do when nothing interesting has gone on), changed jobs and am still in the process of settling in to having the homestead all to myself. However, that’s the past and the [...]

It’s the first day of December, the day to crack open the first door of Advent Calendars and marvel at the joys within. The day when you can actually start humming Christmas songs without too many strange looks. The day that you can see if it’s ‘festive novelty’ to insert tinsel and baubels into demonstrative [...]

This one ties to an earlier entry and comes after Dio’s recent story on her dA. Once again, crossposted to dA. T.H.R.E.A.D Floor Five – Habitational Level “Aha,” Guise exclaimed lifting the handheld device in to the air, with just a little backlighting and a miniscule fanfare he would have been mistaken for being sucked [...]

Once again, cross-posted to dA T.H.R.E.A.D Floor Four – Global Surveillance Operations Centre Alpha-Five “Amy, any news?” Will asked as he and Guise enterred the room. Amy stood hunched over a tabletop LCD display of the world, a stylus between her fingers as she poked the display zooming in to areas around the globe. “Some,” [...]

Firstly, Dio, don’t kill me. I swear, there’s no way you’d corrupt Lucas, you wuv him far too much, I know. Second, sorry if I missed anyone. Thirdly, sorry if I characterised badly. Fourthly, Bill, it was too hard not to make Veggie Macabre a voodoo superhero. Fifthly, I’ve had too much caffeine today. Sixthly, [...]

It’s that day, Monday 13th October. Anyone who has placed a ‘Zombie Story Day’ related piece on their blog, DeviantArt or whatever and wants to be linked to, drop a comment here (with title, link and brief summary) and I’ll add you. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read more here. Zombie Story [...]

Will you come with me to play? Will you take the trip, past the dilapidated and derelict structures of the old Hannah Mills, and then follow the tree-arched road through the dark Winnicott Woods, where the long fox stalks and slinks through the shadowed growths? Will you join me at the house on Gardiner Hill [...]

Essential Cybernetic Science Department, DugalCorp Headquarters FC-D23: I hope you realise, organic, that your usurpment will not be forgotten. Ryo: What a pity. FC-D23: You might think that you are tough, but we are made of sturdier stuff. FS1-D23-U3: Mainly composite materials. Ryo: Ah-huh. FC-D23: We are the great builders, the weaponsmiths…whereas you, you are [...]

Essential Cybernetic Science Department, DugalCorp Headquarters FC-D23: It just looks a little ‘pedestrian’ to me, where are the high action and heavy artillery features. It’s got nothing remotely threatening. FS1-D23-U1: Unless you count kung fu grip and spinning blade action. FC-D23: It’s meant to be a giant robot that will crush spirits and structures, not [...]

Essential Cybernetic Science Department, DugalCorp Headquarters FS1-D23-HUD: So, how are the Arm Alliance doing, boss? FC-D23: HUD, are you going to continue to insist on creating bad team titles or do you intend to avoid a trip to the trash compactor? FS1-D23-HUD: You prefer Limb League, right? I knew I should have gone with that! [...]

Essential Cybernetic Science Department, DugalCorp Headquarters FS1-D23-U3: I mean, what is with this colour scheme, it’s like they don’t trust us to use the right pieces in the right place if they don’t colour them differently. FC-D23: I wouldn’t trust most of this crew to get the right pieces if I crushed their faceplates with [...]

Essential Cybernetic Science Department, DugalCorp Headquarters Shuuhaijin Yuki: The supreme leader ordered delivery of components for top secret plan and transfer of data and schematics, I am honour bound to follow these orders. FS1-D23-U2: Because otherwise you must commit sekkupu? Shuuhaijin Yuki: Worse, bukkake…but also, I get sacked. FC1-D23: Never mind that, how did you [...]

Private Chamber, DugalCorp Headquarters Guise (B): Sparks…vector sigma…cybernetic gods…robotic medics…folded space for mass conversion… Guise (B): …but no damn instructions! Is it too much to ask for a simple “how to” on building giant war…I mean peace-keeping robots to help me spread my message of World Peace under my tyrannical rule?! Guise (B): There must [...]
