So a lot of the reason I’ve been really inactive lately is because I bought Strike Suit Zero and Strike Suit Infinity over the sale last weekend weekend and have been playing it like mad. It’s so much fun.This game almost feels like it was made for me. I am a huge fan of Macross, Homeworld, and Freespace, and this game combines almost everything I love about those things into one. I also always have ideas in my head of space sim projects I would love to do, and one of them is almost verbatim what Strike Suit does. I could go on for quite some time about how much I love the style and gameplay.Anyway after beating Zero, Infinity is a great way to keep on playing it. It’s an arcade version of Strike Suit where you fight waves of enemies. At the end of the round you get credits to purchase ally fighters and capital ships.

This is one of my favorite comics of all the ones he’s done. From F-35s love of FREEDOM and picking fights with J-20, to F-22 lamenting the way she’s portrayed in movies, I really love this one.

I often see GuP fanart where I see the tanks and think, “man, this artist has no sense of scale.” The M3 Lee is a tall tank sure, but it’s not THAT big.
Well… turns out it’s not that far from the truth. Karina is the worst offender of scale in that picture, so I figured I would do a scale picture showing what would happen if a life sized cardboard cutout of Karina (1.45m) stood next to a real Lee (3.12 meters).

Tanks are big.

Figured I would make one for Yuyushiki.

Too bad it's almost over, going the way of Joshiraku.

It’s too bad, but yeah I’m really enjoying Yuyushiki. Especially because I don’t need to keep Wikipedia open on the side for reference every couple minutes.

I’ve been wanting to say this for 7 months, but I physically cringed when I saw this. It hurts to watch.
