Nina came down with a cold, which prevented us finishing this week's episode. We're going to take a few days off so that she can recover, and be back on our normal release schedule next week!

Quattro: I would like to start by apologizing to the members of this Assembly and all Federation citizens. We mean no disrespect to you by taking control of this session.

Chotiner: OK

Quattro: Deep down, we all believe that humanity should no longer pollute the Earth! Only the Titans, whose souls are weighed down by gravity, still think of ravaging it!

Chotiner: But that's not the only reason you've come here today, is it?

Quattro: What do you mean?

Chotiner: I've heard you have another name.

there is no universe in which Char turns down an interview with Chotiner

That’s not true, but as of the year 0079 of the universal century, a half-century had passed since mankind began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic orbiting space colonies to avoid an interview with Chotiner.

Two mstal pins. The left still on a paper card back saying Mobile Suit Breakdown Year 6. Its a yellow robot head where a head set. 
Right pin is a Ball suit with a boom microphone rather then a gun the Ball normally has. It has little sign also saying Mobile Suit Breakdown. 
I already forgot what suit the yellow one is based off and too lazy to double check it. Victory suits blended together for me.

Just got my pins from @gundampodcast.bsky.social

Damn they look super good. Glad I finally broke down and supported them. Almost caught up to current eps. Now where do I display them?

Are the locations in G Gundam's third episode real or imaginary? Are they faithful depictions of famous sites or an effort to conjure Chinese "vibes" based on an amalgam of pop-imagery and classical art? We try to figure it out: www.patreon.com/posts/msbs-g...

We are proud to present MSB's Guide to Visiting Paris during the 13th Gundam Fight!

Thom and Nina agree that the best way to see Paris is on-foot, but they didn't have access to an airship...

G-Companion pt 4: We watched a single music video!

Why did we watch it? In an interview, Imagawa talks about using the video to get a sense of the streetscapes of Paris.
(After watching, I can't imagine it was terribly helpful...)

Because someone asked, the missing states are Vermont, South Dakota, Montana, and Mississippi. Also most of the other US territories (Guam, American Samoa, Micronesia, Marshall Isl., US Virgin Isl., US Minor Outlying Isl., Palau, Northern Mariana Isl.) and two of the 3 armed-forces postal codes.

Once they've got their shipping labels, they'll be ready to send off into the world - expect another update when they've all been mailed 😊
