What are these called and where can I get a pair? I've been calling them "those scientist goggles" but I don't know the real name.

If you goto a welding store, you can purchase a pair of gas welding goggles with very dark lenses and the bonus that the lenses tilt upward out of the way. This would be a great pair of goggles as a base for additional fittings.

the mad scientist has been around in science fiction for almost as long as science fiction itself. the best steampunk example I can think of is Dr Frankenstein, from the book Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus which was published in 1831 but Doctor Steel's latex lab coat isn't very steampunk, neither is his lab in the Dr Steel show. should this be moved to /disc/

I liked where he was going when he said that by being crazy he can avoid the rules of today, letting one flex their steampunk muscle without being called a "nerd." Modern convention can be so dull and dictated sometimes. But when he got into the "reality is subjective" part, he went a bit off the deep end for me.

If Dr. steel asked me to I would burn a city to the ground and raise it again as an amusement park if only for ghosts.

Been trying to compile a healthy multiple hour playlist of steampunk music. So far half of it is The Decemberists, and I'm feeling like I'm lacking.
I know of Vernian Process and Machinae Supremacy, but it's usually to industrial when I'm trying to relax with a bottle of absinthe and look out my window and imagine airships floating by.

Reccomendations...

The Decemberists

Yann Tiersen's soundtrack to "Amelie"

Shiro Hamaguchi's orchestral score to Final Fantasy VIII (mainly the tracks "Blue Fields", "Ami", and "Fisherman's Horizon")

and some random track I have by Steven Cravis (?) called "Children of Beslan", got it from Orisinal

Westons scrumpy cider is as steampunk as absinthe IMO. any other steampunk drinks you guys like? also isn't brewing cider and beer not steampunk in itself? obviously not with all the modern equipment made out of plastic but for wine and cider I always use 1 gallon demijohns which are probably from Victorian times. I also have a copper condensing tube for "purifying water" that looks very steampunk.

Mmm...If you want to see some steampunk looking environments, go into a old whiskey distillery sometime. Copper pot stills and tubing EVERYWHERE.

ugh,ugly camera whores...
>> No. 2545
people don't post on this board because most steampunks think that it consists entirely of wearing a pair of goggles and drawing a bad attempt at a boiler once in while. Steampunks are in general a really lame sub caste of hipsters

Just trying to avoid the mannish camwhores, I suspect.

I remember a game when I was a kid in playstation it was about a anthropomorphic(furry) guy living in islands in the sky riding a steam robot jumping/flying from one island to another shooting out steam and bubbles(like how the guy in steamboy flew) the setting there was pretty much steampunkish with a bit of more industrial

sky mines,victorian towns and IIRC he is a postman of somesort

and no its not the last exile

If you're willing to accept alternate history with Lovecraftian overtones, the Shadow Hearts series spans from 1898 (counting Koudelka) to 1929, and I consider it my own personal gateway to steampunk as a genre.
