So anyway...

So shits bad at the moment and I am way behind with anything I'm doing. I will be trying to get some updates done soon with a quick review of Skarsnik and a look at some models I got. Am also looking at getting into recording game time of me and my bro just playing casually (still looking into the whole recording sound and video editing).

Hopefully something will be up soon.



Update 6/9/13: So, not as fast as I thought. Turns out soon after typing this I spent two days bedridden with migraines, before spending the next week or so with a head cold. Now I have a chest infection (Yay Me!) and it's ticking me off. Still, expect some updates within the next week or so.

Updating...Sort of....Well....Not Really!

There is probably a lot of crap I need to say and do, but as is with life, I just can't.



Instead, I will give the new remake of Rise of the Triad a shot instead.


....and wouldn't you know it, the blasted game won't load the levels. Oh well, back to Minecraft then.

Framed

Well, it's done. My print was finally framed and now home, waiting for me to hang it up. The only problem: I can only hang it in my room, which I guess is probably just larger then a prison cell (feels like one sometimes). Still, I'll figure something out.

The title of this print is Laugh Out Loud (L.O.L) by Michelle Pike. I actually saw the original version of this up the Sunshine Coast I believe a year or two back, but never got round to buying it. Sadly, that one is now gone, but I was still lucky enough to get the print version. Very Australian and humourous and that's what I love about Michelle's work.

If you want to see more works from Michelle Pike, you can see what's available from her site at:

Samurai Pizza Cats in October.

What else can I say but.....Hell Yes! It's about time!

A Very Goon Find

Just another day in which the depression eats away at you, so instead I decided to visit that second hand book store that's just up the road. What compelled my to do so I still don't know, but in doing so I did come across a great find.

I am a fan of The Goon Show and despite it's age, it still has many great stories and jokes. These two books are mostly script prints from a number of there shows. For me, I enjoy most of those show, but there are a couple that I don't like. Thankfully (for me anyway), none of those shows are in them. The Book of the Goons also contains copies of Correspondence between the goon cast done in the form of their respected characters and is quite amusing (if a little confusing).

Also, saying 'Thynneeee' does indeed cure you of monkeys on the knees.

The Illness of July

And so I find myself still recovering from a bad cold I got last week and the consistent torment that is depression and anxiety. Sometimes, I just wonder......

Thank goodness for a few things to have recently happen. My tax return came in and I finally got myself a new t.v. Spent over a year using my old tiny colour television, which isn't much use for gaming. Had that one for over 12 years and even though it's speaker has gone, thanks to it's headset port and my iPod dock, it still useful. Even got a Blu-ray player to go with it and all at a very reasonable cost.

It's also Steam's summer sale time and this has also seen a few new games to my collection. These include my favourite Dust: An Elysian Tail as well as Killing Floor, Don't Starve, Guns of Icarus Online, a mass of Sonic games for a bargain price and one game I'm having lot's of fun with, Castle Crashers.

Work is slow on the miniatures. Somehow this whole nonsense with GW's main heads and their attatude has really bummed me out on further purchases. With that said, have ordered a pack of unused Reaper miniatures off Ebay and will give them a shot. I felt that I was more painter/converter/story writer to this hobby compared to actually playing games. Who knows, perhaps something will happen in the future to change all that.

We'll see.

Dragons 2 Teaser

The teaser for How to train your Dragon 2, coming mid 2014. Judging by this clip, Hiccup could invent just about anything, plus I suspect that the flight scenes will be spectacular.
