Dtoid community attending Cancun: PLEASE READ!
 by Colette Bennett on 03.31.2008      30 comments





Hay guys. I am making a schedule of arrival times and dates for Cancun and I need a favor, if you are attending, please reply and let me what time your flight arrives and what day if you don't come in Thursday (the majority of attendees arrive that day.) We're trying to arrange carpools so transport to the hotel will be cheaper for everybody. Lemme know!

Also, the picture of ChadBorg is unrelated, but still pretty awesome.

Tomopop's first contest: Win a signed, limited edition Kid Robot Ninja!
 by Colette Bennett on 02.15.2008      8 comments






I went to the Huck Gee signing event party last night at Kid Robot Miami, and look what I snagged! Toy collector or not, I know ninjas set many a heart aflutter, so I thought I'd share with you guys that Tomopop is having our first contest and giving him away. He is signed by the artist, Huck Gee, and limited to 1000 pieces.

Go see the contest details at Tomopop and let the entries fly! It runs through February 27th. Normal thank yous such as cards are accepted, but please don't send the bottled semen, it really isn't welcome. <3

Tomopop soft-launches (Full launch coming next week!)
 by Colette Bennett on 02.01.2008      37 comments






The boys behind the scenes are working hard to make sure Tomopop looks it's best, but as you can see if you go to the page we still have some more work to do. I didn't want to be late on the launch date for everyone who has been waiting, but for now comments are disabled. They should be good to go after this weekend. Any feedback you have on what you think would be cool as a part of the final layout, now is the time to tell us!

And now, unrelated pic.

Did I just preorder a toy 6 months in advance? Why yes, I did.
 by Colette Bennett on 01.24.2008      44 comments




Toy collectors are odd people: We see a lot of toys we love, but when you see one you must have, there is this impulse you get that feels like a bolt of lightining striking you. You must have that toy NOW! This is what keeps me from buying hundreds of toys a year and therefore not becoming a homeless (albeit extremely stylish) bag lady. I've never bought a Nendroid figure before, but I've spent plenty of time lusting after the Death Note set and feeling perhaps if I watched the entire Death Note series maybe I would deserve to own it. Expect plenty of Nendroid coverage on Tomopop in the future....the launch is very soon ^___^

New freelance work (if you guys want to read)
 by Colette Bennett on 01.18.2008      19 comments






I accepted some freelance work at a new blog called Colourlovers, which is not a part of the game industry. I love art and design and wanted to be able to write about those topics as well, so now I have the opportunity to do so. I don't know if any of you will enjoy the site, but if it's your thing check it out and feel free to give me any feedback you might have:

Colette at Colourlovers

Of course I snatched up the opportunity to spread the word about vinyl toys. ^____^

HUMILIATION
 by Colette Bennett on 01.07.2008      40 comments




Guys, I just listened to the first ten minutes of RetroForce Go with me in it and I am horrified by how bad I sound. If you listen to this week's episode, I AM SO SORRY. I really wanted to be on the episode, but now that I'm listening to it I wish I had skipped it, because I sound like total ass. UGH!

In other news, Niero and I do not abuse animals, but we do find joy in doing stupid things to them. Hence, this picture was created while packing boxes last night:


I know. We're bad people.

Christmas Eve lulz (bad words within)
 by Colette Bennett on 12.24.2007      27 comments






<Turkeyslam> oh man I saw pure gold at lunch, I was sitting near this group of black guys at a table and they all had tucked in shirts and shit, looked educated, I think they were studying calculus or something
<Turkeyslam> and across from there, there was another table with a bunch of white guys, all ghetto looking, three of them wore fucking grills, sagging pants, and one was playing some 50 cent ringtone or some shit
<Turkeyslam> going "yeah boiiii"
<Turkeyslam> and one of the black guys in the table next to me muttered "fucking niggers"
<Turkeyslam> I choked on my fucking jolt cola

Lemon, you might have to try hard to out-lulz this one
 by Colette Bennett on 12.11.2007      44 comments




From QDB:

(+ware) I rear-ended a car this morning. So there we are alongside the road and
(+ware) slowly the driver gets out of the car . . . and you know how you just get sooo
(+ware) stressed and life seems to get funny?
(+ware) Well, I could NOT believe it . . he was a DWARF! He storms over to my car,
(+ware) looks up at me and says, "I AM NOT HAPPY!"
(+ware) So, I look down at him and say, "Well, which one are you then?"... and
(+ware) THAT'S when the fight started . .
COLETTE IS THE FUCKING TITS.
