We just added a “like” button, I was torn on whether to add the button or not. I prefer people to comment and give opinions, but sometimes you just want to like something. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts?
can i “dislike” the like button? this is why i hate Facebook. i don’t find the like button very social. i know a lot of people find it convenient but i think it moves us away from true communication and down a path of one button mashing monkeys. comments create friendships and dialogue, the like buttons just becomes a faceless number.
I hear ya there – and one of the reasons sites like Facebook or Youtube have this feature is because it yields very easily quantifiable data.
But on the other hand, there are times when I think it’s genuinely useful – when I want to say “I like this” – but don’t have anything else to say worth saying. It lets me show my support without writing a…[Read more]
Usually I get dinner and a gift from the family. My father tends to send me some cash as well. I’m hoping to have that day off of work. You think that would be easy since I make the schedule but it doesn’t seem to work out that way.
Since I started Gunpla I always make it sure to buy myself a MG Gundam Model Kit as a gift for myself. I don’t usually get gifts from others. I’m happy enough to be greeted Happy Birthday, and be glad that they remember. 🙂
Hmmm I used to get a diecast plane from my wife on birthdays and for Christmas. These days we would pretty much “buy” each other a shipment from HLJ, birthdays or not! Figures, Macross, Gunpla, Nendoroids… Ever since we discovered Private Warehouse, my goodness… there’s no end to the orders!
I stronglu agree! Private warehouse’s been awesome for the past year or so! Helped a lot. Helps with organizing your gifts too. 😛 Whenever I can “poke out” something from either my brother or my girlfriend-soon-to-be-wife I just dump it there and I’m set. 🙂 Arrangement of package as you see fit is the best part. You can really cut some costs on…[Read more]
i’m usually get nothing..but after growing up and seeing gunpla tv I started to remember my first MG Aile strike that I shared buying with my brother..and now I started to collecting gunpla after 18 years from my last gunpla again :))
I have a very nice friend with more money than sense, so whenever we go to a comicon or convention, I’ll normally point at something and say “buy me that for christmas/my birthday.” Last time was the HGFC Shining Gundam. I can rely on him for Gunpla related gifts 😀
Best decision I ever made when building the PG was put huge tags on each runner, already saved me an hour of messing about looking for the right runner.
Very smart. I separate frame runner and armor runner and go at it but I can see your idea working too. By the PG is awesome and can not wait until next episode of Gunpla TV.
That’s a smart one Ryan. 🙂 I experienced building two PGs although the sad part is, it’s not mine. Just done a favor for my friend. Oh well, someday I’ll have own. ***fingers crossed***

I like the “like” button. 🙂
@Ryan Yea, while I agree with you that comments are more useful (and fun to read), sometimes you just want to “like” a post. Old habits die hard.
