Oh, this is fascinating

So, I'm a big fan of music (both listening and playing). I was just looking around Google for Steampunk stuff when I happened upon this:

CLICK ME!

A Steampunked guitar! Now, I am a bassist at heart, but I certainly would not mind having one of these on my person. The orb thingy at the bottom piques my interest. I'm not sure if one would actually use it for anything. Maybe the pickups are steam-powered.

It must be good for playing heavy metal.

Steamboy?

What a fascinating movie. It was really quite interesting to see Steampunk meet anime. By virtue of what I have seen in the past, there were many elements of Steampunk which were included, but also many which were left out of the picture.

To give the movie credit, it was full of action and always moving at an incredibly fast pace (typical for anime). It also employed many different kinds of advanced steam technology. These ideas were actually quite original (some were not, but there are some inventions that simply need to be included, regardless of banality).

On the other hand, though, it lacked the post-apocalyptic element that exists within Steampunk. All things considered, Steampunk is a dark genre that exposes the true innate nature of man to be inclined to evil. This was not at all the case in Steamboy. I would say that, as a family-friendly cartoon, it was good. As a Steampunk work, I am forced to say that it lacked one of the most vital elements of the genre.

The little transportation-like device on the right kind of creeps me out. I imagine a decrepit old villain trying to take over the world in that thing.
