*That would be the Geek 8. It would have been the Geek 20, but there simply isn’t enough going on.
My twice-repaired 360 has finally died for good. Not due to the Red Ring of Death, but it simply won’t turn on at all. Luckily, a co-worker had a barely used one for sale with a [...]

Yep, no witty title for this post. I was able to finish up my Nomad for the Blasted Heath Battle Dressed stamp on the weekend. This Quickshade stuff is great, but it does have a learning curve. For instance, the Strong tone is not best used on anything other than earth tones and metal. As [...]

The sun is up, the children are fed and happily watching the Electric Company, and I find myself with some time. Time to recap the week.
The D&D group fianlly got together last night, but I’ve come to the realization that I don’t have the time to really put my all into running it. After being [...]

What a punishing experience. I had fun, but it didn’t mean that I wasn’t feeling the burn of the losses in the Resurgence Tournament this past weekend. I had cool opponents, the dude who got the Cygnar coin well deserved it and I won at least one game. Oh, and I got a best painted [...]

Don’t panic! Dread Cthulhu is not about to breach the surface of the sea, stalk the world of man and consume the faithful and the ignorant alike. No, the stars have simply aligned and fortune has smiled upon this humble nerd. Yes, there are some fiscal expenditures involved, but overall it’s nothing but good news:
Mini [...]

2009. The final year of the first decade of the 21st century. Mindboggling and somewhat disquieting. Where did the years go? Where’d all these grey hairs come from? And these children?
Regardless, 2009 was a banner year for nerdy old me. Lots to keep me occupied in the 1 or 2 hours per day (week?) that [...]

More like, what didn’t I do. Oh my, the things I did…
My usual two weeks off at the end of the summer were unusually productive; downright Millhousian in the way everything came up my way. Boring RL stuff aside, here’s what geeky stuff was accomplished:
Started things off on the Friday night prior with our [...]

The sun is high in the sky, the temperature is on the rise, and the geeks flee to the shelter of nice cool basements across the land. Ah, summer! Such a great season for nerdy activities.
The Dueling Grounds is back in business, and from what I saw last night on their opening day, [...]

This past Saturday our intrepid gaming group finished off Keep on the Shadowfell. For what was meant to be a training ground for 4E D&D, the module took us an entire year to complete. This is only, in part, due to people’s busy schedules. Primarily, it has to do with the design [...]

The Golden Globes? Pathetic. The VGAs? Meritless. Mighty Marvel No-prizes? They’re okay, but not as good as…
The First Annual GG’s! (I think the Geekies was taken)
Please note that these are purely my opinion. They are also solely concerned with geek crap only. Let’s hope my esteemed co-blogger contributes his own “best of” list at some [...]
