Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 3:40 pm Post subject: Adam Savage shows off his custom blaster on Gizmodo.com! |
|
|
So, I was scrolling through my tech news RSS feed today, which I do everyday (with drug addict regularity) and came across this great post:
http://gizmodo.com/5485520/mythbusters-adam-savage-my-lifelong-pursuit-of-the-perfect-blade-runner-gun?skyline=true&s=i
I have to say, that final product looks both amazing and, dare i say, familiar. Adam are you lurking about in here under some kind of pseudonym? Or are you out in the open and I am just too dumb to have noticed before!
Either way, it's a great build and if you haven't seen it you should check it out. I am always amazed how often Blade Runner pops up in the media while still managing to stay just below the surface enough to never reached mainstream popularity.
Adam, if you're reading this: Great work and I am totally jealous!! _________________ Good against remotes is one thing. Good against the living? That's something else.

I've seen the pictures on the RPF but still get blown away by them, seriously cool.
Love seeing his 20% smaller blaster aswell. |

A fantastic job, no doubt. However, after all the time and effort expended, it's hard to imagine him missing something as conspicuous as the (red) LED's. |

He didn't miss them, he just isn't finished yet.

As I said before, Adam is the one to beat in terms of quality/accuracy...
Gun porn for sure |

Adam has been working on this for years, and is taking a little at a time. mainly because he is a busy man, but mostly because he wants to do it right. It seems like he is excited that it is finally taking shape, but I think he plans on working on it for a while to come. He does lurk here as he has told me. I would love him to become a full member, but I do understand why he is hesitant and doesn't need to.

I still havnt forgiven Adam or his buddy with the soup strainer for labeling Mad Max as a Hollywood production in their stunt special,
I nearly choked on my Koala roll and couldnt finish my Emu daiquiri _________________ Formerly offworld66 |

Great video Andy.
Glad to see him talking about his Maltese Falcon as well.
He'll be one lucky guy to get one of Rick's chess sets, a true work of art.
Not sure why he wont register here.
Neil. |

Thanks for sharing Andy! Great info about that build...while Adam might not be registered, I'm sure he's lurking around from time to time |
