GSC and MAX party

GSC needs more sculptors? Gaah, I wish I was better. >.< Maybe after I take figure sculpting next semester. ;)

As for the images, I like the current format. The size is large enough to see some decent details even with my monster monitor, but not so big that it takes days to load or anything. On the other hand, sometimes images don't load at all, and I just get the little blue "?" box. When that happens, I usually open it in a new window and it comes up fine for some reason.

Well, i guess the people were right, it was Emiri

The freeing version of Emiri from the Haruhi series...
It's so nice to see that staff of figure companies do have fun times like these...
I have the DVD box too Danny!!!!!!
I got mine at Comiket 74 and it was autographed!!!!!

Makes me wish I could work with GSC's international marketing group or their doc 'n pub.

omg that freeing figurine look so sweet! :D and omg the food at the party *grabby paws* XD thanks for sharing with us! maybe I should pick up sculpting :P

LOL @ the pic with Mikatan and Hector in it!
Hector's doing finger as gun pose LOL

Sounds like you had lots of fun and the prices are really interesting... LOL who got the stress relieve balls?

And for the poll, I say stick with the current format! LOL my comp's super slow...

Wow the party looks fun ^.^ .

Wow, looks fun!!

GSC needs international branch XD

Man that party looks pretty fun, bingo seems like an old mans game though but hey whatever floats your boat. Man I wish I could work at a figure company but living in US, unlikely...

i never win at these kinda games either
the only thing i've won in an eraser when i was 10. i was cut deep man. DEEP

everyone else was winning free pc games, hats, free icecream coupons and loads of awesome stuff.....and i got was a lousy eraser!

i feel your pain danny...

Current size of pics in articles are just fine right now with clickable link that shows a bigger size on flickr. Not that the ones GSC aren't nice, but too much loading for 10+ multi image articles on DC. Fine on machine, murder on wifi.

Ahh looked like loads of fun. Though I'm not much of a socializer, I probably would have found something to do there lol

Mmm lovely pair of thighs indeed. Emiri is one of the best looking freeing bunnies imo, along with Ryoko.

images on Dannychoo.com is fine.
but i do have one complain about those on the GSC site. the landscape horizontal images are fine, but the portrait vertical ones are a tad too big. although I see the point of having the vertically oriented image width similar to the landscape oriented image width is to not have your article more streamlined and without gaps.
btw they are giving away gunpla?!? now I really wish I was invited. lol!

Answer Rock Paper Scissors / R P S

images are good as they are now.
Keept iy up dude ^^

I thought it was : Jan Ken Pon ( rock paper sciccors ) ;)

big party
i can imagine all people there talking about animes, figures n stuff ^^

I don't get chances to go out and mingle much...never could hold up much of a conversation...

Hehe, nice party; whish I'd been there. Although I probably wouldn't have won anything either ^^.
About picture sizes, I think the current size is good; otherwise you end up scrolling just to see 2 pictures. If a high-res is available 'behind' the shown image, it's all good in case you want to save something.

Sounds like the party was a blast! Looking forward to the reader's meeting in the future :)

I think images shown on articles are about right size. I rarely click them to see them in larger/true size so it looks fine as they are shown on the articles.

What was for dinner? It looks pretty good~

pictures that are too big need more loading time but too small cant see so I think the current size here is fine.

I thought it was Jan Ken Pon too? o.O

I try to mingle/network with new people as much as I could, but I'm very particular of which person I'll talk to, whether the talks will open down to many opportunities or it just simply a waste-of-time gossip. What environment you choose to be in will determine who you will become in the future, so choose wisely.

I prefer lower resolution photo on article, when click on it will birng forward a new window that display original (large) size of the high quality photo.

That party looks like a lot of fun. Meh... I'm not much of a party goer x_x

It would be nice to work for Good Smile... only I don't know how to sculpt and I don't live in Japan. I guess I'll really become an engineer XD

I'm not fond of mingling. I'm not a very social person. I feel that if you know a lot of people than you're increasing the chance of people using you/taking advantage of you (i.e. making the wrong kind of friends). I only talk to someone when that someone talks to me first.

From the 1st picture.. I thought it's a corporate meeting in a restaurant. lol

Looks like you had fun! I wish I could attend that Japan blogger dinner, not in Japan though, and not a big enough blogger...yet. ;) Can't wait to hear all about GSC's plans, they sound big.

As for the images, I can understand the need for smaller images, my personal preference though, would be larger ones. My internet connection can usually handle any size of image, and I like to get the highest resolution of things whenever I can.

Bunny Emiri Kimidori looks great. only complain is the very visible line on her legs where the two pieces are joined. bunny Haruhi and Mikuru have it too but they are not as obvious as Emiri.

I wish Bingo in our school had prices like that. :| I mean who wants lunch vouchers? :|

I guess it really depends on how much images you have in one post Danny... big pictures are nice when you have few of them.
Like on the Members Area.

But when you have lots of them, it gets kinda hard to roll down the page.

And it also depends on content. Big pictures are nice when you have many details to show.

Anyways, I think they are at a adequate size the way they are now.. :D And you can always click to see a bigger version. :D

Ooooh, I hope my job would be like that *when I get into the game industry*. I hear that there's alot of parties between games. Nice pictures by the way

I dont care about waiting for the images. They're worth it!!! Specially for the figure events, photo walks etc!! I can't wait to see Emiri up close!! I want her just cause she has the same name as meeee!!!

image size is just about right. dc.com has always been an image intensive site, i see no reason as to change that now hurhur
although i must say, the one column format for articles is definitely ill-suited for image intensive posts such as this one... you end up leaving too much space on either side of the article.

the current image size is just fine.
regarding meets, i run as fast as i can............ in the opposite direction. I'm a monosyllable guy. conversation eludes me.

As far as I know we call it rock, paper, scissors over here.

Hmm, I have done a bit of sculpting but for minor mods on figures, I don't think i would rate my skills for a whole figure so looks like working as a sculptor is out.

Painting however, I can do! Any chance that they need painters danny? I would love to have a crack and paint some of their prototypes before they get released!

As for the other thing, I would say that the pics are a little too big. Fast load times are important but so long as the pic numbers aren't too high, then it shouldn't be a problem. But if more pics are needed, then maybe a resize would be in order...

I don't really mingle much - which is a problem, because like all entertainment industries so much film work is dependant on networking. I just don't talk to people often enough to get invited to parties, or people see me as the type to refuse all invitations so they don't bother. ><

Awesome party!!!
I wish I could make my own figures, maybe if we had a portable figure making machine,
Danny!! Convince Good Smile to produce a figure making machine!!!

Or if you're in my family there is the shotgun that beats all... but it kind of defeats the purpose of the game and is just used to make little kids madXD

Nice party you've got there, it somehow makes me hungry after seeing the pictures.
Japanese really likes RPS. ^^ About the picture, here in dccom it's fine but in Danny's corner it's big.
Change is good, though it's hard. It's good because everything changes, except 'change' itself. ^^

>>GSC are also great at embracing change. Many Japanese companies establish processes which is taught to new staff throughout time. Staff don't think to question the process even though there could be a better way of doing it.

WHOA WHOA WHOA, is Good Smile /really/ a Japanese company? :V

I've always heard it as "Rock, Paper, Scissors", and I've never heard of a shorter English version. In my area its used but not often (North Central U.S.).

Good Smile C. is the best!
So happy for those workers guys celebrate lol!

Any Idea about What Hobby Events are coming for October, November and December?¿

Everyone needs to party hearty every once in awhile!
Emiri is HUGE. o.o Then again, all the FREEing bunnies are.

Some of the article posts take longer to load than I like currently. If the images were larger it would be even more painful. I'm only on a 512/128 ADSL connection :(

I am happy being able to jump to Flickr to possibly get higher res versions of the images I want to see more of ^^;

"For example, Some companies who I work with take forever to decide something because nobody is given responsibility. The head of X needs to ask his boss, that boss has to ask her boss etc etc."

Well, this kind of system sometimes works with some Japanese companies and it is this system that took with the likes of Toyota to where is it now.

But what's great about Japan is the ability to have the tradition and change side-by-side.

Maybe sometime I would make some business with GSC and Maxfactory in the future ^____^

I'm in Michigan, and we usually call it "Rock Paper Scissors." We also use "thumb wars" to solve conflicts.

The party seemed like fun and the food looked amazing. It's a shame I rarely mingle, but I suppose I will have time for that after graduation. We share the same bingo fate--I have never won a single game. The prizes were much nicer at this party though~

I used to bingo all the time out of boredom when I was younger. Looks like you have way too much fun with your job Danny!:D ... Someday, someday... I will work with you!:D

Nice boat... mean, party!

The Penguin DVD Box looks very very nice. And both Aki and Max Watanabe looks like nice bosses.

Nice coverage! And larger format images would be great:)

The GSC crew sound like great team to be a part of, glad you're happy working with them ^w^.

Try playing any version of janken from --> http://www.umop.com/rps.htm xD;
Tip: Claim the prize you want in your mind Danny, as if it belongs in your hands, worked for me recently when I wanted the prize badly enough x3

I used to go to the city almost every Monday when I was working closer [25mins or so via express train] for life drawing and got together with some people from the SMASH forum to draw [haven't been in a while as I live 1hr away]. Apart from church on Thursdays and Saturdays [only really chat with 2 people there], I can only meet up with my two closest friends about once every 2 months or so for dinner, we're all so busy ^^;; And I attend anime conventions when possible [Sydney].

As for images, I like how they are now, even on cable they take a while to load, and if I really like the image for some reason, I view the original at flickr

How come we never get to see Hector?

Wow so GSC is looking for more sculptors? Damn I need to get better at figure sculpting and improve my Japanese!

I can sculpt and stuff...but im too young!:( This is my first post btw so heya folks and yo Danny!

That must have been a fun event, Danny! Thank for sharing it with us.
I am always amazed how GSC pleases it's fans.
Such a pity that I have no experience in sculpting as of yet T__T Still, good to know that GSC provides (b^o^)7

Green hair and bunny outfit was sorta a dead giveaway... Man, it must be fun to work at Goodsmile and the other figure making companies.

Hector doesn´t look so happy there... or he just waiting for something XD

woooh. cool party. i'm sure it was a whole lotta fun being there. i haven't played bingo since my highschool days.

And yeah, bigger image formats are better. ^^

I can sculpt, but I currently do not reside in Japan.

If a candidate looks promising enough, though, would Good Smile Company consider sponsoring a work visa?

it is a privilege to work instead of dreams (it's wonderful)

What a great work environment ~ parties and all ... in North America work is like a prison sentence and so hostile :|

Too bad Emiri Kimidori Freeing Bunny doesn't come with that crystal block for a stand like in the original initial pictures ~ I'm not feeling the round white plastic tub :( I wonder how much it would cost to get a crystal block to sit her on ... :

ha ha they need more sculptors what do i need to apply though i only do movie stuff will that do i also sculp warhammer figs if your familiar with them

damn that is a big party! good job u lot at GSC and MAX factory oh and of course u too danny and hector. want that dvd box seta anyone where to get it?
