*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 [...]

Life’s little challenges and surprises have kept me off the blog for a while. So much has happened in the realm of nerd that it’s difficult to remember it all, but for you, dear reader, I shall try:
Ashlynn complete!

I was rushing to get her finished during the Nightfall league so I could get [...]

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, [...]

It’s June, and that means videogame releases. Good videogame releases to be exact. Since Operation Finish My Goddamned Games is yet again a failure, I’ll have to resign myself to the inevitable.
The Ghostbusters game comes out June 16th. This is, as we say, a “must-buy”. I’ve loved the franchise for 25 years (except for the [...]

As this huge and vibrant thread on Something Awful can attest, there are a lot of Games Workshop fans out there! I can add myself to that list, even though I chose Warmachine over Warhammer 40K for my hobby gaming needs. While I don’t care much for GW’s business practices, at least historically, they’ve shown [...]

I have a bit of a pet peeve when it comes to role playing games, and that’s players who concentrate only on the dots on their character sheets. Those who define their characters by what they can do, how many dice they roll, and the kewl powerz that their character has.
Why does this bother [...]
