Either I'm in a dead time, or ranked PvP is not hopping right now. Trying to get to Crystal so I never have to do ranked PvP again, and it's been a 11m wait so far.

We're a week out from another major patch, which brings a new PvP series and season. Things have probably slowed down a good bit all around since a lot of people are likely waiting for 6.2.

Which I understand, but it's silly that nobody's doing ranked at the last minute (there are ALWAYS last minute people). My queue btw? Over 2 hours so far (combining the times before it kicked me for the map changes). This is simultaneously hilarious and amazing at the same time.

It was probably a blessing in disguise that I never got the first season frames, meaning I could never do ranked again. I'd hate to feel compelled into thinking I have to do it every season for the numbered frames.

I don't care about the number, I only care about the frame color. That crystal one is legit good. I never got it last season, so I wanted to get it just so I'd have it.

"1" is objectively the best frame since it's the first, and will always be the best frame set due to it. But the number is a big issue, because can you imagine having "1" and not "2", or "2" and not "1", or, God forbid, "3" and neither "1" or "2"? Just wouldn't work for me.

As for what they look like, I can't remember. Although with rank loss coming, this is probably the last season you'd have a chance to get it easier (unless you got lucky). Unfortunate.

Space Coke may be no more, but now there is "Dreamworld" Coke.

It's got an... odd berry flavor. Blackberry? Subdued. Not as good as Space Coke, but a nice change of pace nonetheless.

I tried that as well the other day. I thought it tasted so weird, but ended up finishing it off anyway during lunch. It has such a weird taste, like a cross between cotton candy, coke, and blueberry. I couldn't taste any blackberry if there was any in it.

In other news, a store manager that had quit the company I work for released a letter addressed to the upper management we've got, and it's an interesting read, if not ominous one about a possible internal collapse of one district. Maybe possibly the rest of the company if they don't get their butt in gear and start treating us employees better.

I'm quite fond of the Figure-Rise Standard Amplified Digimon model kits, and picked up Imperialdramon Paladin Mode when I saw they had it at my local hobby store.

Predictably, it's just a palette swap of the Dragon / Fighter Mode model with a sword instead of a cannon. The wings are new pieces and make it much bigger (YUGE!), but have a hard time staying in place. Humorously, since it's just a palette swap of the Dragon / Fighter model it uses all the same runners, so you can use the spare parts to build it a Dragon mode for itself (despite that not existing in canon). Just missing a couple stickers for the cannon.

Looking forward to the Alphamon one.

After further tasting thanks to a mini-can 10 pack, and further consultation with the internet, I have concluded it's mango citrus.

That's what Coke thinks dreams taste like, apparently.

... I want the Space Coke back.

Anyone here remember Crystal Pepsi and Pepsi Blue? I wish those were back =(

I'm a little behind on those, still need to pick up Gallantmon and Beelzemon (was hoping for Crimson Mode and Blast Mode, respectively, but nothing so far). So far Machinedramon is my favorite of the line.
