Warlord update

Will get some pics up soon, but I have almost finished the conversion part of the model. Just need to add the Bonebreaker's tail and file back some the green stuff.

In the mean time, I'll sit here and bitch about the name replacement of games-workshop paints.

Ah to hell with it, I'm going to bed.

What is Brony?

Bronies.......Bronies.......

Hmmm, where to start. I play Skaven, first-person shooters (and Assassin's Creed) and loved the movie Aliens...and yet, and yet.....I somehow find myself drawn to this show, this 'Friendship is Magic'. When I first saw screenshots and images for this show I thought, oh here we go, another classic show getting a horrible updating (I hate the 'new' Looney Tunes show, WTF WERE THEY THINKING??). One day, I was at my mothers house sitting with my two sisters and saw an episode they were watching, followed by a second. As I saw more I realized I was getting sucked into it.

So why? Well, the first is that the characters are actually likable, the story is extremely well written and that it's just overall enjoyable to watch. Upon trying to get pics n stuff for my sisters I came across the term 'Bronies'. Reading about it I realized that I myself may have fallen into this category; so how do I feel about it?

I find it surprising just how much hate gets thrown at Bronies considering that all they do is support a show about friendship and other positive feelings. It's ironic how liking such a show is considered wrong, yet it's ok to support a cartoon that's contains constant violence, animal cruelty and visually sexualising and degrading women. I had hoped society had evolved enough that males could be more open with such positive feelings, certainly that's what we're always told. If you don't like the show, fine - that's your opinion and your allowed to have that. However flaming such things is simply not on and simply doing it because you think the show is girl-y or because it makes you feel superior is just sad.

So, would I be willing to be called a Brony? Yeah, why not.

An update too late.

Well, that went fast, so what's happened since then?

Photography front - nothing. Seriously, Queensland weather lately is ether too bloody hot or raining.

After my first successful Movember challenge, my bro enters his first Shave/Colour for a cure.

Finished the Cannon & crew as well as handgunners for my 500pt challenge. On the other hand, his High Elves are now 2,500pts which means more clanrats to compete (as well as a rat-ogre mounted warlord).

Not sure what I'll enter into Golden Demon this year (I'll have that many fantasy single mini's to choose from), though I almost have everything for my 40k entry (something I'm looking forward too). As for the rest, many idea's though nothing started yet.

Alot to catch up on so I should be updating very soon.

End of Year

So, updates have been lacking....what else is new. I'm hopeful to complete a few side projects for start, and update my Skaven to 2,000 points. Sice I only play occasionally, I doubt I'll go much further. With my brother now purchased a full 2,000 point High Elf army, I've been asked to do an allied force. For this I'll go Empire and am looking at 500 - 750 pts as a starting force.

I'll also be extending my photography and hope to upload some of my practice shots so far (and there are a few). As for the rest....we'll see.

Sonic Generations

Ok, been playing Sonic Generations on Xbox 360 (I got the big collector's edition. Europe and Australia only they said and thank god I'm an Aussie).

Anyway, I actually liked this game (considering the last Sonic game I liked was Sonic 06 and that was only cause of Shadow n Silver's levels - Sonic's were just shit) and think they may have got modern Sonic to the level that's enjoyable to play. I also like the fact that the camera didn't screw you over when you play. Game play is good and the controls are easy enough to use.

Music is just what you expect from Sonic games these days (though this one lacks modern theme, using the classic one instead). The cut-scenes are also well done. Story wise is fairly simple and predictable.

The real fun is experiencing those classic levels from different perspectives as each one has been designed for Classic Sonic and his classic 2D game play style and one for Modern Sonic and his 3D style game play. Rivals and Bosses are designed only for their Sonic's (So Classic ones are classic Sonic only, Modern ones for Modern Sonic) with 3 Rivals, 3 Bosses and a Final Boss. I'm still trying to figure out which Final Boss was the worst, this one or the Sonic Unleashed one? Still, I enjoyed this game overall. If you want a good Sonic experience, at least give this one a shot.

Wot...Still Noffin?

So many things, so little time on the net to add them.

Arg Sorry!

Apologies for lack of recent posts. So much is happening at the moment and I'll have full updates within the next week or so, so err....stay tuned I guess?
