You don't need 8 gigs of ram and a quad core processor to play half life. If it wasn't for editing I would just use my computer for games and the internet meaning I'd probably just have a 3ghz Wolfwood (dual core) and 1 or 2 gigs not a massive Nehelem proc with 8gigs of ddr3.

My ratio between money spent and actual amv productivity made makes we want to cry in a corner.
I love to wear absurd and totally impractical garments. What's more, I derive great pleasure from spending time with women for no apparent reason.

I am saddened no one has added the costs of their figure collections. It is a well known fact AMV creators use these for brainstorming/inspiration. I think we would see much higher costs if this is factored in.

We couldn't edit properly if we didn't keep our energy levels up either. We should also figure in our grocery budgets.

I even used them for a video. I was happy that that series actually showed on the box which one was inside, then pissed that I ended up with a few pure-white "variants" that I had to re-buy. :?

theres a way to stretch the box to see what is inside without damaging or breaking it, but it requires a bit of skill.

LOL
I don't even wanna go there! I have a closets full of figures >_< not including the ones in my living room and dining room.

I promised myself last convention, no more figures....and then bought a whole set. It's a sickness I tell you.

....and they don't really help my editing, they just improve my work area :D

$84 got me a rare Hiyama Hikaru figure. But it doesn't help me edit. In fact, it takes time away from editing.

I'll need to paint it and give it a base. I am still not done with Madoka...
