I still like the stormraven (or atleast, once the top turret and engine vent are removed)

Herm... I know I might be going against the general opinion... but couldn't the dread knight be a possible base to be converted into an Imperator Titan?

Last year I bought Hypershot Web edition to make small renders of my Otterware. It cost me $300, and has worked to my satisfaction. It's oriented around quickly setting up a scene, and the controls are simple and rudimentary, so it's very well suited to my needs.

Last week I switched to a new computer. Like so many damn programs these days, I had to re-apply for a license to activate Hypershot on the new computer. I was then informed that they don't sell Hypershot anymore, but I could apply my $300 credit to a $1000 purchase of their new product.

One nasty email later, I got a rather apologetic voicemail from a salesman, who indicated there's some mismatch between management and sales there. He then proceeded to offer me a new deal: a free copy of their new product, but with a mandatory 'maintenance plan' of $200 per year.

So, Bunkspeed, makers of Hypershot, cram it with walnuts. I'm going to spend money on a new renderer and a company that won't screw me over in a year.

Rant successful! Bunkspeed has been shamed into upgrading me to Shot, which is harder to use than my older software. Begin new rant! I bought the damn software, let me use it!

Royal Mail! I deride your ability conduct even rudimentary operations to the States! You've been hogging my Evilcasts for months!

Why don't you simply put the boxes into a plastic bag and chuck them into the Channel? It would be cheaper and as effective as your current technique. Perhaps they would float to France where they will receive the respect they deserve?

I'm pretty sure it's USPS that lost them in customs, but regardless a second package shall fly. :-)

And if you replace Royal Mail with USPS, the above is even funnier.

Send in a padded envelope rather than a box, they're not getting caught in customs.
