Site Map

Lost? Nosy? Here's an attempt at cataloguing both the organized portions of my site and the ones that amount to "a mess of directories".

Models - Battle Story - Fan Stuff - Other Media - Site Stuff

Models

Guide & intro
Basic info on what Zoids are, in a model kit sense. A guide (currently in progress) covering what you'll find in boxes, how to put the models together, what they're like, and just what you'll be getting into collecting these things.

Reviews
My collection in a much more interesting manner - my thoughts on each Zoid, ranging from silly to in-depth...and sometimes with pictures. Some even have pictures covering the building process, though usually of dubious quality.

My Collection
For those who like to look. Pictures of my Zoids, crammed on shelves in their native habitat. I'm lazy about updating this.

Photography
Hosted on Flickr. This is an album/set of my favorite Zoid-related shots...the more artistic and/or interesting stuff.

Commercials
Video clips of various Japanese Zoids commercials, including old-school promotional videos. They're downloadable Xvid avis, no Youtube-squished FLVs here.

Want List
Zoids I'm looking for - at sane prices, anyway. I can't help but be hopeful, eh?

If you're looking for custom Zoids, they're under Fan Stuff below.

Battle Story

Introduction
A really basic summary of the Battle Story's setup and plot, made as uncomplicated as possible so people new to it can get a frame of reference. Will eventually contain other useful-to-new-fans references like a timeline, a guide to the factions, and some frequently asked questions (with answers).

Summaries
Translating things takes time - so this section will be summaries of important bits of story. Once it's done.

Translations
Exactly what the name suggests: Battle Story text, badly forked from Japanese to English by yours truly.

Resources
Official images and text in raw Japanese, mostly for fanbooks and other harder to find merchandise. None of this is translated besides the OJR stats file, but one current project is a guide to better navigating Japanese materials even if you don't understand a word. Ah, Excite...

Articles
My own ramblings on the battle story and its universe. Some of these are informative (more like essays), some are rants about misconceptions and bits of fandom that irk me, and some are just me being silly in ways that aren't quite fanfiction.

Fan Stuff

Writing
Stories - fanfiction, that is - involving Zoids. This section's sadly unupdated right now, but if you want to read my really old writing, here you are.

Art
Offsite link to Liger's Union. This is a gallery of a good amount of my Zoids-related art, complete with descriptions...considering some of the odd things I draw, explanations are often a good thing.

MMM
Stuff relating to Metal Machine Music, a Zoids RPG...my character's profile, battle record, some logs and guides and other such things.

Wallpaper
Pretty 1024x768 pictures, free for the ganking and applying as desktop backgrounds. These are mostly edited photographs of models.

Music Videos
Fan videos made by sticking together clips over music...aka AMVs, since they involve animation (yes, I call anything involving animation an "AMV". Considering how Japan uses the word anime, purists can deal). These are all WMV 9 and downloadable - again, no Youtube.

Customs
These aren't grouped with models because I don't really customize many Zoids myself - this section's mostly custom contests and things I've been involved in running. I'm also hopefully taking fan submissions, so if you've got a custom and no site to host it on, you're in luck.

Adopt a Gilvy
Scary googley-eyed SD Gilvaders that can be "adopted"...that is, you stick them on your site or in your sig and link back to the page so others can get one too.

Pairings
This is basically a high-tech way of sticking character names in a hat, pulling two out, and pondering what would happen were there a relationship going on. Great fun if you don't mind the inevitable augh-worthy pairings.

Other Media

Games
There's plenty of guides to the newer Zoids games, so this section will eventually be about the older ones. For now, most of the content is limited to Evil God Revived! ~Geno Breaker's Story~ (aka Jashin Fukkatsu, that game with the limited Command Wolves), but there'll be Silver Zero stuff later...and the NES games, when I get around to finding a good way to play them.

Fuzors
A very neglected section devoted to Fuzors - you can tell it's neglected because it's got an older version of one of my older layouts! Most of what's there so far are episode summaries.

Screenshots
Screenshots of animestuff, nothing more, nothing less. Most of them are from DVD, however, and properly cropped/resized to 4:3 aspect ratio. All are free for the taking.

Anime clips
This is where most of my bandwidth goes - clips of the anime, most of which are Xvid avis. A few are WMV 9. There's a few cut scenes and oddities mixed in...and one of these days I'll get a good copy of the textless /Zero ending. I promise.

Site Stuff

Site Map
You are here.

FAQ/About
FAQ = frequently asked questions. Some of them are actually made up questions (preemptive answer strike!), others I have been asked. About is both my profile and about the site.

Links
Links. Many links. I do my best to keep them up-to-date and link to good content, not just every random thing I find. Covers forums, English-languages sites, Japanese-languages sites, and online stores.

Contact Me
I opted for this over a simple e-mail link, since I have two e-mail addresses.
