2012: The Road Ahead

January 13, 2012

2012-the-road-ahead

The future lies before us: a glittering, gold-paved superhighway that leads to The Land of Milk and Honey.  Scratch that; The Land of Pewter and Silicon.
I’d say that 2011 was a good year.  Everyone in the Gow clan is healthy and (generally) happy, I got a new job with a substantial pay increase, and our [...]

Excuses, Excuses

December 6, 2011

excuses-excuses

I wish I could say I’ve been busy, but it would be an absolute lie.  Sure, family life takes up a great deal of time, especially during the holiday season, but that’s not the main reason I haven’t been painting lately.  I’ve been playing Warmahordes just fine, it’s just I haven’t felt the urge to [...]

Morrow and Thamar, Together Again (and Some Wrath)

June 30, 2011

morrow-and-thamar-together-again-and-some-wrath

The whole Morrow / Thamar divide is one of the few things I remember about the history and lore of the Iron Kingdoms.  This past month I painted up their miniature equivalents in a strange, albeit temporary, bout of unity.  Versh and Alexia will never be seen on the same table again, so I hope [...]

Nerd News Round-Up

TV Character Actors!?  In My Videogame!?
Gamestop was “kind” enough last week to take my tired old Black Ops in exchange for a sparkly new LA Noire.  This is what I would consider a “good deal”.  The first game I’ve gotten for the PS3 in years has well been worth it, even though I’m a terrible, [...]

Vacation Wrap-Up

May 2, 2011

vacation-wrap-up

My usual end of April vacation was, for the first time, disease free, yet very rainy.  In my previous post, I highlighted the models I’d completed, and here’s how my display case looks after about a year’s worth of SA oath threads and the slow grow.

I may have to kick Mel’s camera stuff out [...]

Big Meaty Fists

Behold the first models to be produced from my dedicated painting desk:  a Dire Troll Mauler and Madrak.

While it has nothing to do with meaty fists, I picked up CoD: Black Ops (BLOPS!) after a particularly crappy week in which I really needed to shoot (internet) people in the  (internet)face.  So long removed [...]

Gotta Move That Gear Up!

July 12, 2010

gotta-move-that-gear-up

Before I get to the usual hobby game portion of my post, I’d like to bring your attention, yet again, to how awesome Team Fortress 2 (and by extension Valve) is:

Last week the engineer update dropped (check out the link, it’s worth it), thereby completing the updates to all of the classes.  As usual, players [...]

G8* News

June 24, 2010

g8-news

*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 [...]

Hello Christmas Present!

June 10, 2010

Okay, it’s a tad early, but good god, the Rock Band franchise just pulled me back in!  We have achieved maximum keytaur here, people!  This little preview has made me realize a few things:

My old as dirt instruments from RB1 will need to be replaced with what I’m guessing is a deluxe version of RB3.
I [...]

Stuff and Things

March 16, 2010

stuff-and-things

Who knew that having 4 teeth removed from your face could be a detriment to one’s lifestyle?  Going on three weeks from the procedure I’m still having some discomfort in the morning and evenings.  I think it’s going away, but who knows how well it’ll take.
So, painting (until the last couple of nights) has taken [...]
