I've been playing some video games lately, one of them being a underrated 2D shooter called BRAIN / OUT. I thought it would be cool to build some of the skins in the game.
From left to right:

Mercenary, with SPAS-12
Ronald, with M60
Soldier, with AK-74
Agent, with M1887 Shotgun
Bundeswehr, with M79 Thumper
Diane, with AK-74SU
I have been having some brain fog lately not able to focus on anything on the weekdays. It 's similar to this picture that I took at Mt Diablo two years ago. Perhaps I need to get out of the house and resume my daily walk routine. I might have overworked myself sitting in front the computer for too long.

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage & Eclipse -
Psicosi
È una grave forma di patologia mentale nella quale sussiste distacco parziale o totale del soggetto dalla realtà delle cose e delle persone, abolizione del potere di critica e di giudizio, disadattamento al contesto socio-ambientale.
Pink Floyd
Brain Damage
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"
Pink Floyd
Danno Cerebrale
Il pazzo è sull'erba,
il pazzo è sull'erba,
e ricorda giochi, corone di margherite e risate.
Bisogna tenere i matti sul percorso giusto.
Il pazzo è nella sala,
i pazzi sono nella mia sala,
il giornale tiene le loro facce rivolte al pavimento
e ogni giorno il ragazzo dei giornali ne porta di più,
e se la diga crolla molti anni troppo presto
e se non c'è spazio in cima alla collina
e se anche la tua testa scoppia di oscure inquietudini
ti incontrerò sul lato oscuro della luna.
Il pazzo è nella mia testa,
il pazzo è nella mia testa,
tu sollevi la lama, procuri i cambiamenti,
mi curi sino a quando sono rinsavito,
chiudi la porta
e butti via la chiave.
C'è qualcuno nella mia testa ma non sono io
e se la nube esplode, un tuono nel tuo orecchio
gridi ma nessuno sembra udirti,
e se il gruppo di cui fai parte inizia a suonare melodie diverse
ti incontrerò sul lato oscuro della luna.
"Non riesco a pensare a niente da dire tranne...
penso che sia straordinario! HaHaHa!"

This is the shot that we'll be serving at the Halloween Party on Saturday.
It's called a Brain Hemorrhage - bet you can guess why.
Honestly, it looks ghastly, but tastes wonderful.
Shall I pour one for you?
The drink goes like this.
1/2 - 3/4 oz. Peach Schnapps
Float 1-2 Tbl. of Baileys on top
Drop 1 tsp of grenadine through the Baileys.
Theatrical magic . . . and it tastes like Peaches and Cream!
Chiquita bananas always have thee greatest stickers, in my opinion :)
HEY! So, if you find a cool banana sticker post the picture and send me the link. I'd just looove to see it !

For reasons unknown to us, Nex and Stringer would never see another release after 2012, despite two full waves of sets they could easily have been integrated into. With Bulk growing increasingly orange and Stringer’s lack of unified color scheme, my belief is that Nex and Stringer underperformed in BREAKOUT as the two cheaper sets of the second wave and were cut from the lineup for the remainder of Hero Factory’s run.
Until today…
With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Nex. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with an Energy Sword for melee combat and a shoulder mounted missile launcher (inspired by @ems_mocs) to fend off the evil Brains invading Makuhero City and the galaxy beyond.
I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:
- Melee weapons
- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color
- Transparent armor piece
- Hero Core Clamp and Visor
This build also emulates the arm seen on his 2.0 form, only this time in silver! The shoulder addon is a bootleg part.
Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Nex the form he deserves.
Self Serve cold ice flavored beverages, last month at the carnival at the Wells Fargo arena parking lot in Des Moines, IA.
As I mentioned in the previous photo's description - I have contracted COVID-19. I spent almost the entire January sick, tired, and coughing, but overall - the symptoms weren't nearly as bad as they can be (thank you, vaccines!).
*
I'm now feeling almost as good as new and my quarantine period is nearly over. But the darn brain fog is so persistent! When covid combines with my naturally scattered mind, it's quite a disaster: I forget words in both languages, I forget where I put things, I forget what I wanted to do two seconds ago... It's pretty annoying, but it can also be hilarious.
*
Oh well, I'll keep taking care of myself, taking vitamins, avoiding alcohol, and creating - as it seems that I'm my focused and sharp self only when I create.
No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya
Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head
Brain Waves
One of the best things in Whittingham and I never saw it till my 9th visit, an old ECG machine used to measure brain activity of the insane. Hooked up to 4 aa batteries I scored a 9 .

Abused & Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
OK, here's the deal, Baby Bean Brain is
to scared to go down the cement stairs.
They are steep, wet & covered with mold.
The insert photo of Rocky shows
just how steep they really are.
Mama & Rocky have already raced down and
have positioned themselves in front of Buddha .
Rocky is laying on his side with his tail pounding the
floor. Mama is next to him doing dog maintenance.
When I go down these stairs it's sideways while
holding on to the cement handrail. Dangerous.
Mickey is whining not sure what to do. You can
see one of Rocky's eyes is watching us as his
tail continues to pound the floor. He thinks
it's so funny. Mama continues grooming.
The Panda behind Mickey, I painted when the
aliens were attacking us at The Dog Palace.
Eventually I told Mickey Bean Brain that if he
wants to ride with the Big Dogs he's got to
grow up. Take a chance & do a little dance.
I turned and made my way down the steps.
Two seconds later he went flying past me
and landed on Rocky who's tail was still
pounding the tile floor. Mama jumps on
Mickey while Rocky continues to lay on
his side with his tail pounding the floor.
In short order all three dogs were in a
pile on said tile floor rolling and wiggling
about. Rocky's tail continued pounding the
floor as his eyes never left me. He's so funny.
Another Big Thank You for the donations.
With out them the animals all suffer greatly.

my friends! You make my day every day!
A plant on a deserted expanse resembles a neural network stretching out into the sand and into the air trying to fight for its living space in a highly hostile environment. Even in such place, connectivity is apparently the key to survival.
’ve waited nine years for this moment…

With a helmet commissioned from @galva_nize_ I present BRAIN ATTACK Stringer. He is of the same height class as Stormer and Surge and is equipped with a Hero Sword. He also has a scanning apparatus affixed to his arm for performing sonar sweeps and picking up thermal signatures. I went for a more hefty build as Stringer deserves the extra muscle. I have also tried to combine his blue BREAKOUT color scheme and his orange 1.0 colors to create something that honors both.
I have taken great lengths to keep the design language of the other BRAIN ATTACK sets:
- Melee weapons
- Silver or Gunmetal secondary color
- Transparent armor piece
- Hero Core Clamp and Visor
This build uses a shoulder configuration first used by Beardly_Designs. I don’t think anything else draws inspiration from other MOCs but, if you feel it does, let me know!
Building this MOC is honestly a dream come true for me. I’m glad I can finally give Stringer the form he deserves.
My little tribute to the fantastic Mickey Mouse short RUNAWAY BRAIN - jmaruyama.com/blog/2014/10/22/runaway-brain/
This image features a 4 km-wide impact crater that formed on the rim of an older 15 km-wide crater on Mars. The linear ridge to the top of the image is the rim of the older crater, which itself intersects the rim of an even larger, 40 km-wide crater.
To the left of the image, so-called ‘brain coral terrain’ is visible – so-named because of its likeness in appearance to the ridges on the surface of the human brain. It appears to sit on the floor of the largest crater, although this deposit may be related to the lineated fill that lines the floor of the 15-km crater to the right of the image. Both types of terrain are associated with ice-rich material found near the boundary between Mars’ northern plains and its southern highlands.
Information held in images like these – best viewed with red-blue ‘3D’ glasses to give the impression of depth – help scientists make a detailed study of the order in which the many interacting layers were formed, thus piecing together the history of complex regions.
The image was created from a stereo pairs taken by the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS) onboard the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on 7 February 2019. It is centred at 32.9 ºN/13.7ºE.

This image has been rather tricky both in its making and post processing.
First, the location. Well it’s as about as photogenic and evocative a scene as you can find. Not only is it hard to get to and after miles of twisty single track roads, it feels like major achievement to actually get there. It has wonderfully smooth, sand polished slate outcrops (conveniently graphical), but not just a few, hundreds of them! The incoming tides protrude towards you at different speeds (I assume due to the width and particular geology creating drag on the water), which offers richness to the photographic opportunities when it comes to movement, (incoming and receding water creates different forms and textures). It also has the advantage of being west facing, and here comes its one aberration, it’s exceeding tricky to work with the setting sun at this time of year to create a balanced composition. Yes I could go towards the end of September, when the sun would be at the end of the beach, but then again it would probably be too easy and predictable (I can’t anyway).anyway, the graphic angles take your eye in the wrong direction and it feels like your making two separate images every time you direct your attention towards the drama.
You should have seen me in this 5 minute period before the sun popped out beneath the cloud bank, knowing that it would illuminate the scene perfectly, knowing that I was going to have only one shot at this location, literally (30 seconds of illumination to be accurate) and knowing that I had to find a composition that would balance every element and that I would have the opportunity like this again. As you can imagining I hurdled the outcrops faster than a world champion and by the time I found this interesting, moderately graphic foreground rock I was totally soaked, breathless and almost ready to make the best of the elements before me. Anyway I made this image and walked back to the car dripping wet but happy.
Now the second part to this image is the processing, well as you can see, it’s a thorny customer. The dynamic range is massive and processing a balance believable single image was (and is) fiddly. Well as you can see it’s a high contrast movement image. The medium length of exposure has taken just a tad too much movement out of the water than I’m happy with, but the imbalance in the centre of the image needed most of the attention. Anyway, even considering the technical post processing challenges, for me this image works. Yes if you’re a pixel pushing, 100% viewing photographer, then you’re going to point out that I’ve lost detail in the shadows and the dynamic range isn’t working, but if it makes you happy to tell me then cool, bring it on! And I see this may should like an excuse, But for me photography is fundamentally about how the images stimulate our primitive deep brain not the frontal hemisphere.
