The Squier Stagemaster (discontinued) is a guitar made by Squier, which normally manufactures less expensive authorized copies of Fender's more popular guitars and bass guitars. The Stagemaster is similar in appearance to a Stratocaster with a few cosmetic and functional differences, and is typically classified as a Superstrat. Generally, these differences are:

A reverse headstock
tremolo system (Mostly Licensed Floyd Rose, with the Stagemaster HSS NLT model featuring 2-point standard tremolo)
Humbucker pickups combined with single coil pickups
A contoured neck heel (Rounded corner where the neck meets the body)
A slightly narrower body
24 fret necks (Early models had 22 fret necks)
One volume and one tone control
Also see the badge change of Fender Showmaster due to legal reasons.
Versions
There were six major versions of the Squier Stagemaster:
V1 - Introduced in 1999 and featured a pick guard, top jack, reverse headstock, licensed Floyd Rose tremolo systems and 22 frets & 25.5" scale. Versions were HH, HSS, and HSH. V1 Stagemasters did not come from the factory in HHH or SSS versions[1] .[2] Colors made were Black (506), Polar White (581), Cobalt Blue Metallic (587), Galactic Purple (591) and Frost Red (577). All V1 models were initially available with a natural wood color headstock; toward the later production months they were made with a matching painted headstock. All came with chrome hardware. Discontinued in March 2000. Very early versions had CY98xxxxxx serial numbers but were assembled in early 1999, not in 1998 per Fender Customer Service. V1 bodies & necks are interchangeable with Stratocaster guitars. The Floyd Rose tremolo uses a 37mm high tremolo bridge block held in with three 4mm screws. It uses a 6mm screw-in tremolo arm. The V1 can be converted to use genuine Floyd Rose 6mm screw-over or push-in tremolo arm types.

Early V1 guitars have string tuners that are held in place with a set-screw (Type A). Later ones have tuners that are held in place with a recessed pin (Type B). V1 guitars were made in China.


V1.0 Stagemasters are the original 1999 Stagemasters with tuners that have external screws to prevent tuner rotation.
V1.1 Stagemasters are the 1999 Stagemasters with tuners that have an internal tuner pin to prevent tuner rotation.
V1.2 Stagemasters are the 1999 Stagemasters that have matching painted headstocks.
V2 & V2.7 - Introduced in 2000, discontinued 2002. Has a side jack, back-routed control cavity, reverse headstock, licensed Floyd Rose bridge, bolt-on 24 fret neck & 25.5" scale, and a locking nut. Six string versions were available in HH, HSS, and HSH pickup configurations. These 2-octave models were made in three colors: Black Metallic (565), Cobalt Blue Metallic (587), and Purple Metallic (593). The V2 six string model Floyd Rose tremolo uses a 37mm high tremolo bridge block held in with three 5mm screws. The V2 six string models can be converted to use genuine Floyd Rose 6mm screw-over or push-in tremolo arm types.
The V2 models were also offered in HH pickup configuration in 7-string versions. The 7-string versions came in two models: a Floyd Rose bridge with locking nut (7FR) and a hard tail fixed bridge (7HT) with a regular nut. The 7-string models came in three colors: Black Metallic (565), Cobalt Blue Metallic (587) and Purple Metallic (593). The V2 7-string models are also depicted as V2.7 Stagemasters to distinguish them from the V2 six string models. The seven string Stagemaster can be converted to an HSH pickup configuration by a competent luthier. The V2.7 7-string guitars were discontinued on December 31, 2001. The V2.7 Floyd Rose tremolo uses a 34mm high x 70mm wide tremolo bridge block held in with three 4mm screws.
All V2 guitars were made in China and came with black hardware.
V3 - Introduced in January 2001, the Stagemaster HSS NLT (Non-Locking Tremolo) model number 032-2700 was the lowest priced Stagemaster sold listing for $349.99 (the street price was around $220 in 2001). Features a two-point bridge, back-routed control cavity, a bolt-on 22 fret neck 25.5" scale, and a regular type nut. Colors included Black Metallic (565), Cobalt Blue Metallic (587), and Purple Metallic (593). All came with chrome hardware. V3 bodies & necks are interchangeable with Telecaster guitars as it has a square neck pocket; Stratocaster necks will fit a V3 body but may have an exposed gap. The V3 guitars were made in China. V3 Stagemasters are the most common Stagemaster found today and sell for around $100 to $125 in 2019. The Stagemaster HSS NLT was renamed in January 2002 to the Showmaster HSS NLT with exactly the same features. The V3 Stagemaster uses a 35.6mm tall pot-metal Stratocaster type bridge block. Finding replacement steel or brass tremolo blocks is difficult as most Squier replacement blocks do not fit correctly. eBay vendor kevinh3324 does make steel or brass replacement blocks that correctly fit the Stagemaster HSS NLT. The V3 Stagemaster uses a 6mm screw-in tremolo arm.
V4 - Introduced May 15, 2000, The Stagemaster Deluxe versions with neck-through construction were made alongside these models and were available in HH and HSH configurations. The necks are 24 fret & 25.5" scale. The Deluxe HH neck-through came in three colors: Shoreline Gold Metallic (544), Atlantic Blue Metallic (569), and Wine Red Metallic (575). The Deluxe HSH came in three different colors: Pewter Gray Metallic (543), Black Metallic (565), and Emerald Green Metallic (571). No HSS or SSS neck-through models were made. All V4 models came with black hardware and were made in Korea. The V4 Floyd Rose tremolo uses a 34mm high tremolo bridge block held in with 5mm screws. The V4 models can be converted to use genuine Floyd Rose 6mm screw-over or push-in tremolo arm types.
V5 - In 2000 Squier made an exclusive run of six string Stagemasters for Mars Music. They came in HH configuration only and were available in three colors: Blueburst, Redburst, and Blackburst. A notable difference from the other Stagemasters is that they have regular headstocks that are not reversed. These guitars came with a bolt on 24 fret neck 25.5" scale, Licensed Floyd Rose tremolo bridge with a locking nut, black hardware, one vol/one tone knob, and a 3-way knife switch. These guitars are known as the "Mars Stagemasters" and are the only Stagemasters that have a burst finish. The V5 Stagemaster guitars were made in China. The V5 Floyd Rose tremolo uses a 34mm high tremolo bridge block held in with 5mm screws. The V5 models can be converted to use genuine Floyd Rose 6mm screw-over or push-in tremolo arm types.
V6 - In January 2001 Squier introduced the Squire Sub-Sonic Deluxe baritone guitar as a part of the Stagemaster Series. It is a neck-thru design like the V4 models but has a hard-tail bridge and a normal nut. It is tuned a forth below a standard guitar: B1–E2–A2–D3–F♯3–B3 (low to high). The Sub-Sonic guitar was made in Korea. It was only available as a dual humbucker (HH) and came only in Black Metallic (565). The scale length is 27" and the neck has 24 frets. Controls are a 3-way pickup selector switch, a volume control, and a tone control. Sub-Sonics with a 2002 serial number are technically Showmaster models but are identical to 2001 Stagemaster V6 models.
The V2 & V4 2nd generation 24-fret solid body Stagemasters featured many upgrades and were "designed to compete with guitars costing 4 to 5 times as much." One upgrade was wax potted pickups stock with the guitar. Another upgrade was a rear-routed control cavity for guitars lacking off a pickguard. The Deluxe models featured neck-through three-piece maple necks, while the Standard models featured a bolt-on one-piece neck with no scarf joint and a contoured heel. The reverse headstocks on the Stagemasters allow for completely straight string pull. Another nice feature is the inclusion of a brass bridge sustain block on the Ping licensed Floyd Rose bridge, unusual quality in a budget-priced guitar. In March 2002 the Stagemaster line was renamed to Showmaster due to a trademark claim from Kramer, who had made a guitar called the Stagemaster in the mid-late 1980s. V2, V3 and V4 model Stagemaster guitars are known to exist labelled as "Showmaster" (except for the V2 7 string guitars).
All Stagemasters came with rosewood fret boards. None were ever made with maple fret boards.
All Stagemasters have adjustable truss rod necks with a headstock accessible Allen truss rod nut. Allen nut sizes are:

V1 5mm
V2 5mm
V3 5mm
V4 4mm
V5 5mm
V6 4mm

If the Stagemaster was made in China, the truss rod nut is 5mm. If the Stagemaster was made in Korea, the truss rod nut is 4mm.
History
The Stagemaster line of guitars were introduced in the 1st Quarter of 1999. The first 1999 Stagemaster looked like Fender Stratocasters with a reverse headstock and the Stagemaster 22 fret necks are compatible with a Stratocaster. The V2 design of 2000 was essentially a superstrat with a 2-octave neck that is incompatible with a Stratocaster. In 2001 Kramer sent Fender a letter stating that Fender was using Kramer's trademark of "Stagemaster" for electric guitars and demanded that Fender stop using the Kramer trademark. Kramer had released a line of guitars from 1986 to 1990 that were branded as "Stagemaster" and had the trademark "Stagemaster". Fender agreed to stop using the trademark beginning January 1, 2002. The Squier "Stagemasters" were discontinued and some Stagemaster models (V2, V3, V4 & V6) were renamed "Showmaster" and were released on Jan 4th 2002. The 7 string Stagemaster models were discontinued and were not re-branded as Showmaster. There was never a lawsuit - Fender and Kramer worked the issue out between themselves and the case never went to court. The details of the settlement between Kramer and Fender were never revealed to the public. The Showmaster guitars were later discontinued in 2004 and were sold through 2005 until the stocks were depleted.
Identification of the Stagemaster guitars is quite easy. If it has a normal head stock it is a V5 Mars Stagemaster. If it has seven strings with chrome tuners it is a V1.7 model. If it has seven strings with black tuners it is a V2.7 model. If it has a pick guard it is a V1. If it has a back-routed control cavity and a bolt-on 24 fret neck it is a V2. If it has back-routed control cavity and a bolt-on 22 fret neck it is a V3. If it is a neck-through guitar with a 25.5" scale and has a Floyd Rose bridge it is V4. If it is a neck-through guitar and the neck scale is 27" and it has a hard tail bridge, it is a V6 baritone.

The Stagemaster guitar shares similarities with the Heavy Metal (HM) Strat which was produced by Fender and discontinued in 1992. It also shares similarities with the Squier Heavy Metal (HM) guitars made from 1989 to 1993.

Thoughts on Troupe Leads.. And Will She-Hulk Become a Defender and NOT an Avenger?.. (TL:DR)

 Hi

Firstly, a little background..

Background

I really have enjoyed She-Hulk.. a couple of times I got worked up and impatient waiting for Daredevil, but once that anticipation was met, I loved that episode. Looking back.. it is what it set out to be.. a comedy.

Acting troupe's have 'leads/captains'.. people who lead and set the tone for the other actors; for the larger MCU it was Iron Man/RJD, for AOS it was/is Coulson/Clark Gregg, for the Defenders it's Matt Murdock/Charlie Cox.

Think of them like a captains of a sports team.

I enjoyed seeing Daredevil/Matt in She Hulk's episodes.. it REALLY felt like a 'Defender's Blessing' on the show and Disney+ in general. But more than that..

The show also draws themes in to view for the audience.. and while I am very far from being a feminist.. 

(I believe in gender equality and third generation feminism is merely female supremacy, unlike second generation feminism which was women righteously fighting for the rights they deserve.. third generation feminism is about women having MORE than men. If people believe in gender equality they fight for men's rights also, which these feminists do not.)

I started to think about how few woman troupe leads the MCU has.

Right now, Marvel has two divisions that can have troupe leads.. I would argue Charlie Cox is the troupe lead for the TV side of things.. but if you wanted to point to someone else.. (cough Clark Gregg cough) I probably wouldn't disagree with you too hotly.. but there is however an open position for the lead troupe actor for the MCU movies..

While Tony and Steve shared this, both are now gone.

I think after watching She Hulk this should go to a woman.. 

Do I have any suggestions?.. many who would fit the bill either have left or have character conflicts..

My first choice would be Gweneth Paltrow as 'Rescue' / Pepper Potts.. it makes a lot of sense to me, equally she was there at the beginning, she is very intelligent and has a suit just like Iron Man, also when a family are grieving they often turn to another family member to fill the role of the one they lost. She has access to both Stark money and Stark tech.

But then again.. Pepper is SO very Anti-Super Suit.. how could that make sense for her character..? 
Even despite this, without a doubt she is my first choice to become troupe lead for the MCU, as the rest lines up to perfectly.

Could this be a character arc for her? She is torn between 'doing the right thing and suiting up' and 'resisting what the power makes her become'? And what of her grieving for Tony.. how could she ever don a suit again?

Questions I don't have the answers for..

Black Widow is gone.

Scarlett Witch.. while still alive is MIA. Elizabeth Olsen has earned the right to be troupe lead.. I don't question that at all, but her story arc is a mess right now, with her being half hero half villain. Perhaps if Ms. Paltrow took the lead for now they could have a joint lead in the future? I don't know.

You could say Brie Larson.. but the fact that she's new and the rumors surrounding her that she hates men.. adopting a brand of 'militant feminism' .. and on top of that she seems unpopular with the rest of the wider MCU cast.. no, I wouldn't put her in the forefront.

I do enjoy the idea that Monica/Spectrum (may) be the opposing voice to Captain Marvel.. and in a small way oppose the views of Brie Larson while giving others who oppose Ms. Larsons views a voice. But again Ms. Parris is too new. Excellent actress though! great in Wandavision and can't wait to see her again.

In conclusion for this section.. I don't have an answer.. not a perfect one anyways.. 
but after all the male captains it should rightly next go to a female.

I didn't want to go too deep in to gender politics.. and besides I'm from Scotland, we have ALWAYS had strong women and it's not a big deal here.. we are also the descendants of the Gaulish Picts who had gender equality (Gauls in Scotland 7000 BC to around 600 AD).. but She Hulk had many of these themes and so kindly, I felt pretty justified.

The Defenders

Is She Hulk really going to join the Defenders??.. I can't help but sqee like a valley gurl.. but really could she?

The Defenders are much darker in tone than She Hulk was.. MUCH darker! I don't see it all fitting together, at least not smoothly. Fourth wall break during a Daredevil episode? erm.. no, that doesn't work for me.

We already have Luke Cage doing the heavy lifting.. wouldn't She Hulk joining the team make him redundant?

I love all the Defenders series.. my favorite being Jessica Jones.. I recently watched it again for the fourth time from start to finish. The Punisher first series and the JJ first series being masterpieces in the art of not just television storytelling; but any storytelling.

I would enjoy She Hulk becoming a Defender instead of an Avenger.. striking out in her own way and not just following her cousin's path.. but I am short on answers on how that would work.

Daredevil/Matt Murdock is the closest we have to Spider-Man..  that Marvel can use without rights woes.. within the MCU, I hope Marvel expands this, but I do worry about them turning him in to a clown version in his upcoming series.

Those are my thoughts.. I hope it made you think also :)

Dava


--------------------

I'll take a guess.. stab in the dark..

Julia Louis-Dreyfus will be the lead for the Thunderbolts. The first time the MCU has make a female lead for an ensemble cast of supers.

Kristen Ritter is an excellent actress.. can't wait to see her for a fourth series! Ohw.. I hope Hellcat/Trica does a Dark Defenders.. :D (I mentioned this before in another post)

New To NMS This Month.. a Few Thoughts

 Hi

I'm new to NMS.. so please keep that in mind and be gentle.

Firstly.. NMS has taken over my gaming life over the last 3 weeks with 175h of play, I'm about half-way through the main story.. I think.

NMS is a new favorite of mine and I have much high praise for the game in general. With that thought.. I also have some passionate criticism; in the hope that the Dev's listen to my voice.. which is equally as valid any other in a sea of voices a successful game with passionate players brings.

To be clear.. I think the game is *excellent*. I have my moments of malaise.. but that is true of many epic games.

I'm a generational gamer.. I left consoles in 2011 with the death of the 360 with my 30 games, moved to PC and had over a hundred games in the first year.. and never looked back. Being a generational gamer also means I play exclusively on PC with a gamepad.. playing with keyboard and mouse feels 'unnatural' to me.

So enough praise.. as a new player I also have some criticisms..

Exocraft

On PC with a pad.. the crafts don't operate in a way I would expect. I edited the buttons with Steam but still it is *very* weird.. I expected GTA but got a throwback to the early 2000s PC gaming. The controls for gamepad on PC don't make sense. And the Exosuit.. I expect it to work like Power Armor in Fallout.. but no. It controls like I'm riding a toaster with arms.

The Nautilus was better as we have full directional control underwater.. but still could use improvement.

Customization of Starships

As yet we have no 'mechanic's garage'.. to respray, redesign interiors, redesign exteriors..

We spend half (?) our time inside our ships.. it should rightly be a comfortable space for us to explore the universe.. with panels in the correct position.. correct being a matter of taste and so we should have the ability to visit a mechanic and have them installed where we want them.

Even internal cabins and being able to walk about inside your ship I think would be cool.

External features to our tastes.

Respray is apparently a long time coming.. as I gather the community desires this badly.. and as a new player I noticed it after 20h as the sore thumb it was.

The community is correct; repraying needs addressed. And the other ideas here are simple additions of my own desire.

Story
A few days ago I had the ending of the game revealed to me.. to be honest it didn't bother me. In the topic of spoilers.. I say 5 years minor and major 'spoiler lock' and a decade on major spoilers locked down. But this (and I won't spoil it for others) didn't bother me as I said.

I would like to see 'in universe'.. the 'Boundary Failure' machines leading to common galaxies.. such as the home galaxies of Korvax, Gek and Vy'keen.. each Traveller home galaxy.. as well as Human.

The 'quest' to find Earth fascinates me..

Imagine it like.. Post-Game Plus.. any sight of a traveller in say.. the Gek or Vy'keen home galaxy would be treated with upmost prejudice.. ultra hard combat mode. Freighters and frigates trying to kill you and stop you getting to their homeworld.

If you are one of those races... then you would be fine. But trying to reach Earth would be much much harder.

Each 'Boundary Failure' Machine leading to a specific galaxy.. and only *that* galaxy. Meaning you would have to go in to other peoples systems .. and once the ones to the Milky Way/Andromeda/Triangulum the person who's world that is.. can charge limited tax on usage*.. which leads me nicely to the next part..

While I'm not 100% finished the main storyline.. I have thoughts on an in-game backstory.. if yous will kindly indulge me..

Our 'races' have negotiated licences for Travellers.. each type of licence entitles races to do certain things.. but that doesn't matter to us, as we have the top licence.. I was asked in game if I was 'Baron' of this system.. which I was, so I said 'yes'.

A 'Baron Licence' meaning we own Star systems and planets... the other NPCs we meet have mining and exploration licences.. this is why they are there already. A Trading Licence for NPCs on the space station.

This explains why there are other lifeforms there.. but we are the first to 'discover' the system.

The NPCs don't have a 'Baron Licence'.. they have lesser licences.
To be clear.. I'm not suggesting we can have lesser licences or a system of licences.. only NPCs have them for the purpose of story.

When you are 'Baron' of a system.. you get taxes.. of which the Space Station takes 95% for 'operational costs'. The 'Stock Market' scanner could fill this purpose of paying you your dues.

Sentinels respect the Baron of a system.. and so after 24 hours all debits and crimes done within your own systems are wiped. But if you commit crimes in another Baron's system.. you either need forgiveness from the Baron of that system or you will be forever hounded by the sentinels in all that Baron's systems.

I see 'in universe' the sentinels .. as the police.. and I am happy for them to police my systems for me. (I know I know spoilers etc but even despite that.. )

The ability to build up trust with the sentinels (which I have been doing with the AI already and I think it's starting to work)..

The ability to create my own sentinels with my own colours would be cool too .. a workshop that I feed with components and it manufactures them, but instead of Atlas ones, our own with directives that WE give them.

We gather the all the things we need to create their ships etc..
I have more thoughts.. but that's enough for now :) Thanks for reading this rather long post, I hope you enjoyed.

Lost in space

----------
Ohw this feels SO GOOD! glad to get this off my chest been thinking about it for weeks!

I also keep thinking what would The Outer Worlds meets No Man's Sky look like? :D

taxation: like the user gets 5% so say the cost to enter the boundary failure is 100,000 units then for each person who pays this the Baron of the system gets 5000 and the rest goes to upgrading the system.. meaning better and better classes of ships locally.. and better and better goods.

Can charge in multiples of 10,000 units up to a max of 100,000.

But also for resources.. 5% of everything another user takes from your system is converted in to units and given to you. copper gold tritium any resource.
5% of everything another user spends in your system you get back.

Planet Nirn (Skyrim fanfic) 'Pangella' Period.. like Pangea was for Earth.

The Mundas System & Planet Nirn

1. Location and System Elements.
2. History and Geography
3. Strange Happenings

Location and System Elements.

Planet Nirn is a dwarf planet with a highly dense Magma-Iron core. The planet itself is highly magnetic and has many strange magnetic properties. It has two moons, Masser and Secunda.  

Nirn is in the Mundas system near the center of the Triangulum Galaxy.This galaxy is between the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies, but much closer to Andromeda.

The Mundas system has several satellites; Akatosh, Arkay, Dibella, Julianos, Kynareth, Mara, Stendarr, and Zenithar. Their sun gives off many strange magnetic resonances and is called Magnus. Nirn is 1.2 AU away from Magnus and is the closest of Magnus satellites.

Zenithar is a cyan Gas Giant, with it's own Moon Giant/Dwarf Planet called 'Mara' which has its own satellite called 'Dibella'.

Nirn's moons, mentioned above, Masser is a dessert moon, with a thin atmosphere and is the larger of the two moons. Secunda is a rocky moon and has no atmosphere. Nirn seems to have captured Secunda from Arkay. 

Arkay is a rocky planet with a normal magnetic core, however the other planets are so highly changed it makes Arkay have comparatively weak gravity/magnetism. Julianos and Akatosh are on the same plane and orbit, but are near opposite and have such strong fields they move Arkay in to strange orbits. Julianos is a Red Dwarf sun and has a micro dying star called 'Stendarr' orbiting it. Akatosh is a Yellow Dwarf sun. Kynareth is a Ice Giant.

The order of the system goes thusly; Magnus: Nirn, Arkay, then both Julianos & Stendarr and Akatosh, Kynareth, Zenithar,

Zenithar's Mara is a the Moon Giant/Dwarf Planet whose 'Dibella' is another micro dying star, like 'Stendarr'. Mara is a water world approximately twice the size of Nirn. It has a rich oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere and has many plants floating on the surface. Zenithar is around 25 AU away from Magnus, however 'Dibella' provides enough heat and light that 'Mara' is not a frozen world.

History and Geography

The Mundas system was formed from the collision of two massive stars, the remnants of which are Stendarr, Dibella and Magnus. One of the two cores fragmented becoming Stendarr and Dibella. The other core lost much mass, but as 'Magnus' the second core managed to collect enough mass and re-ignite again, albeit smaller.

The collision is what most likely what has caused the resonant magnetism throughout the Mundas system. However, it would also be easy to suppose that Arkay is a captured planet as it does not share the rest of the system's strange magnetism. 

Early Nirn 'Pangella' Period:


Currently


Currently the inhabitants of Nirn are, many mammals, piscine, flora and sentient humanoids. They are a Class Zero civilization, worshiping once living humanoid deities.

Only one 'race' the Dwarves had any technological prowess but these creatures seem to have died out.

'Seemed' as s spaceship based on their technology was found on Mara, but when further investigated by probes, no non-Mara life was found inside or in the vicinity. 

Mara has strange fish creatures, the probes could not ascertain if they are fully sentient, although the probes are not advanced enough to be sure. The fish creatures are 5 meters long and 3 meters wide and eat the plants on the surface. The creatures seem very peaceful and did not attack the probe, or were observed to attack each other.

We did not make contact, but the probes were spotted by a few Nirn local humanoids.

Strange Happenings

The probes observed strange ghost like apparitions, which the inhabitants  could see also. The data was checked then verified. We are putting this down to radio-magnetic imprinting, a sort of weak time-travel like event.

This also has happened on-masse with the whole planet, Nirn bringing its former self forward in time, which they called 'Planes of Daedra'. A harmonic resonance in the magnetic fields lead to an.. event. where the strength of the radio-magnetic imprinting jumped. 

They also have large lizard like creature like our mythical 'dragons', its a very odd.. coincidence .. these creature even breathe fire, ice and other elements.

The Nirn humanoids posses the strangest properties.. they repel most types of radiation including cosmic radiation, making it very save from them to travel outside their system, they also live much much longer, if it wasn't for their dangerous environment and fighting they may live on average to 110 years old.

Thanks to TheMapleMatador over on Reddit. they are the Cartographer :)
The modified version 'Pangella' was done by myself, Dava.


In Fallout.. the Zetan's are the Aliens invading Earth.. in Elder Scrolls, I fanfic's that WE humans, were the invaders to Nirn :D .., well not invaders, but Alien investigators. .. invasion comes later :D

Hit Monkey Season 2..

 Wow what a show! Accidently found it back in January.. like no press for it.

Tried it out expecting a filler show while waiting for the next Disney+ show, but Hit Monkey wow, so good! . I recommend you all stop what you are doing unless vital to your continued existence and go watch that show! 5/5 stars

Hit Monkey was stated as 'non-MCU'..

Now I hear there's no season 2 coming.. whoa!

I was thinking as its 'non-MCU' and set around Tokyo.. it could be set in the Supaidāman universe (which Marvel has the rights to via animation.. and did a special on Japanese Spider-Man recently before Stan Lee's sad passing.)

Expanding on Japanese heroes would be cool.. I know I would love that for Scotland, but we only have one and a half, both too OP (Over Powered) to be in anything that's not end game level.. Proteus/Kevin MacTaggart and Legion/David Haller (maternally half Scottish).

A kind of 'Tokyo-verse'.. while on a case I can just imagine Bryce looking up to the sky at Leopardon and saying : Pfft! show off!

Cars I like and think are Stylish (even though I don't drive)

 Hi WWW


Been thinking about this over many years since I first got interested in Top Gear in the early 2000s.

I also keep thinking.. why don't manufacturers bring back their classic designs? Like the ones below but electric versions? They'd make a fortune and save a fortune, due it being just batteries and a electric motor.. OG chassis, suspension and originally styled leather interiors.. 


Citroen DS

As Top Gear claims.. the most comfortable suspension ever made. Bit pretty too.




Toyota Levin.. 

First became aware of this due to GTA. Ultimate sleeper! Looks like a total 'mom' car but will blow the doors off most regular cars. ( twin cam 16v SC 1.8L does 0-60 6.9 secs, top speed 143mph)
