I've been wanting for so long to dress up in my proper Metro Cosplay gear with my friend who also has some really nice gear, and just go out in the snow and take some really good Metro Cosplay photos. But the thing is, I really didn't know of any good place to do it... until now.

-Today I was at a southern coast-area here in Norway with some friends, and they knew the place very well, so I got a sort of guided tour around the place. There are actually old basements and bunkers inside the mountains, one with a command center on top and another with a huge cannon on top that you can access. It's all from the second world war, and is now abandoned. It's just standing there, available for anyone to walk in and have a look. Old abandoned dirty dark scary military bunkers, and to top it off, there was snow on the surface. One of the ways out of the bunker went upwards as stairs, so it reeeeally looked like we were coming out of the Metro, onto the cold snowy surface.

At the summer, there's probably a lot of people there, and tourists, but now in the winter when the weather is bad (which is perfect for Metro Cosplay photos), nobody's there. I'm considering not only bringing a camera to take photos, but also my father's GoPro camera, and a helmet that you can attach it to. Then I'm gonna wear that, and my Metro Cosplay clothes, while my friend wears his cosplay clothes, and I'm gonna film it from the top of my head. Maybe we'll even make a short unprofessional fan film out of it. This is great, I can't wait!

 

:jaw:

That sounds fantastic and exciting! Wow, very cool. Exploring a place like that sounds like it will be good time, well spent. I'm looking forward to seeing some metro cosplay pics from this place if you ever go back with you gear.

Yeah, it really looked amazing. One thing I didn't like were the motherfugn massive gigantic spiders hanging in the ceiling, especially in the low passages where you had to hurl together to get through so they hang just centimeters above your head. But I guess that's just another addition to the metro-feeling, eh?

To get to the command center place, you actually had to walk up some old rusty stairs along a mountain-side, and then walk across the snowy slippery mountain-ridge, from one mountain to another larger mountain. Now, the cannon-place is not owned so it's free to access, but the command center has actually been bought by private people, so it's most likely locked. But, there's probably nobody there anyway, so we'll go and see if we can't find a way in. If not, I think we'll at least be able to get onto the roof of it. There are also some small outposts placed further away on other "mountains" (I really don't know what to call them), but they pretty much consist of just telegraphic radio-transmitters or whatever he called them.

I'll want there to be snow on the ground and trees and the skies to be grey, to give that extra surface-feeling. But at the same time I'd be satisfied if it's not snowing while we're there, so the camera equipment can stay dry. Only problem is, next weekend the snow will probably be gone with the weird temperature-changes we're having here recently. Let's cross our fingers!

Yeah, that sounds badass - best of luck with the pictures/film.

I'd be interesting to see what would happen if some tourists decide to go up to the mountain fortress, thinking nobody would be there in the dead of winter, and encounter you guys all geared up D). And the cobwebs made me think burning them with a lighter or torch.

It snowed, about a week ago, over here, but I didn't take the opportunity to snap some pictures in my outfit (obviously, or else I would have posted them).

 

Oh yes, we did consider that possibility, and laughed :lol: Luckily we didn't see a single person the whole trip. We got some pretty decent pictures and videos today, they're being edited right now and soon uploaded!

alright. Good to hear there was now random encounters at your end. Though, I gotta say, if I was a tourist and decided to go visit an old, WWII mountain fortress, over there, and crossed paths with some people geared up in gas masked and all, I would be pretty excited.

And I was writing a quickly reply to the Zombie RP and accidentally clicked on "Previous Thread" instead of "Post Quick Reply" and lost my entry of RP

 

I know the feel, bro. I know the feels.

And when you think you're finally done with school and the teachers throwing homework at you, guess what... I got homework at work today. Apparently the two apprentice-years do involve some schooling. I've gotten a username and password for Toyota's Europe-site, and I'm now doing Toyota-studies on the internet at home In addition, I'm being sent to a famous big High School here in Norway, about a 45-min drive from home, for seven weeks this year, each week spread evenly through the year. I'm gonna be studying car-theory with a big class and all. And to top it off, Toyota might send me on an Electrical-course in June. (Another study, except this is at some Toyota study-center) :noidea:

*throws unknown gang signs* Awww, man! You just got schooled, thinking you never gonna go back to school! >:O
Kind of suck to hear that your class is a 45-minute drive away, though hwell:

I'm taking some electrical classes right now: Intro to electrical engineering and Intro to digital systems. The electrical engineering one is something I imagine what your electrical class might be like -more about finding different values throughout circuits and all. Digital systems is just stupid and introduces new mathematical methods that opposes everything you were taught about simple arrhythmic - it makes no sense. :rant:

I'm still working at my art and book, have to start looking for a new job soon, as my contract is ending in April. Other than that, working out a lot

Noice.

Btw, Nuclear, congrats on ruining the post count without anyone realising.

By the way, guys... If you ever need to remove all the color-markers on the front page that means a forum is unread, *cough*, there's a little button on the top called "Quick Links". In that button's undercategory, you'll find a button called "Mark all forums read"

Or just press the button at the bottom of the forum.

 

.... Never seen that before :laugh:

EDIT:

I just tried finding out how to bind the extra buttons on my new mouse to something specific, and ended up with this:

"Angry Ninjas who don't want Mikey_B to win again" :lol:

Double-edit:
Wow, I just downloaded a program that comes with the mouse, that allows you to customize it a lot: How many sensitivity levels it should have, and what sensitivity the different levels should be at. You can customize it perfectly for yourself. So now, I have the lowest at very low so I can use that for precision-firing in Arma3, got three more medium settings for browsing the internet and playing normal FPS games, and one very high sensitivity for when I'm playing Chivalry Medieval Warfare. And in addition, that is only one specific profile on the mouse. You can have up to three profiles, and you can even assign any button you want on the mouse, to change between the three different profiles. You can also even edit the lighting of the "G" logo on the mouse, how bright it shall light and if it should pulsate, and if so, how fast. -And lots more.

 

I'm using a TeckNet Gaming Mouse M268, it's much less fancy and simpler - but also cheaper, works well and still looks nice.
