Uninitiated in the lore of G.I.Joe? Me too. But that doesn’t mean we couldn’t  appreciate a ninja in a pyric gear, emblazoned with 既濟. Yes, that’s an I Ching hexagram there (63), meaning “after completion” or “already completed”.

If you’re not into Hellgate or I Ching, don’t worry. Meditate on this: that’s Ray Park there, better known as The Toad or Darth Maul, posing for the first promo pictures for G.I.Joe as Snake-Eyes. (via io9)

  1. Actually to be correct. The I ching symbol not only represents “already across” or as you say “already complete” but that is only the beginning. The rest, even though it would be never perfectly translated do to lack of words in the english dictionary, means ” at the end, disorder”
    so already complete, disorder must follow

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, an alternative community portal for some, a media experiment for him. DJ'd and organized for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights, the VK/jrock Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Key figure behind the cyberpunk PDF magazine THE DOSE and he's making a comeback with it.

He's currently an IT/science journalist, with a love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee and chili, eyecandy, Japan and a life-long devotion to all things cyberpunk & slipstream.
