Ultraman’s number one ecological message.
If only humans would stop micturating, we’d have significantly less kaiju attacks. So, please, for Earth’s sake, hold it.

The S.I.C line feature artistic interpretations that are usually a wee bit too X-T3M3 for my tastes but this is one fine set.

I feel the need, the need for … more frames per second.
The last time I did a major PC overhaul was back in September 2003. The resulting system, based on an AMD AthlonXP 2500+ CPU and a Geforce Ti4200 graphics card, wasn’t a stellar performer even when I first got it but it served me well.
An upgrade was by no means necessary as I can certainly continue doing most the computer tasks I’m doing now for the next few years quite satisfactorily with this system. But I would like to get back into PC gaming once again and I would like to do that with some bells and whistles.
It would be nice to see more than 20fps at a resolution greater than 1024×768 on my 20-inch widescreen monitor and it would be great if I could try some of the stellar games I’ve had to skip because of inadequate hardware.
It would also be nice to install software without first having to deliberate over what I need to delete from a 30GB hard disk. Even downloadable apps have installers in the 1GB range these days and games are starting to need upwards of 10GB of space.
So, yeah, an upgrade was warranted even if it was not, strictly speaking, necessary.
I planned to use the Dell 2007WFP monitor, the Sony AW-G170A DVD-RW drive, the D-Link DSL-200i ADSL USB modem and the Wacom Graphire CTE-640 graphics tablet from the old system but the new PC was otherwise going to feature all-new components.

Konami’s Diorama Studio software is a remarkable program that puts a virtual action figure (based on designs from the Busou Shinki toyline) on your PC. It’s a free program but the fact it’s in Japanese may intimidate non-Japanese fans who are keen to try it out.
In previous guides, I showed you how to download and install Diorama Studio, display Japanese text on a non-Japanese edition of Windows XP, create a Konami ID and pose a CG model in the Diorama Studio Model Editor and create a diorama in the Diorama Studio Diorama Viewer.
In this guide, I’ll show you how to add access codes found on scratch cards that come with the figures to Diorama Studio in order to gain access to CG model equivalents in the software.
