Heroscape

I just got some Heroscape for Christmas :). It is a less serious wargame, with a multi-genre slant. It is an easy game for beginners with some simple game mechanics, and is a good introductory wargame for non-gamer friends. I really like the terrain pieces and miniatures that came with the game. Some of which I'll be incorporating into other games I play.

SNOW!!! :)!!!

I wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!!! :)!!!

Chaos Vindicator

So, I'm going multi-media now and trying out posting videos. I figured I might as well put some of this technology available to use. It looks like I definitely need a better camera though :(.

So I painted up another Warhammer 40,000 tank last weekend. This one is a Chaos Space Marine Vindicator. This is the old version of the kit and has many metal plates and parts. It was very difficult to put together due to the parts not fitting together very well. The newer kit is all plastic and looks much simpler to build. I might get one for my Dark Angels army :). Anyways, here's some still pics for those that can't view the video.

Digital Copy - Read the Fine Print.

Some months ago I bought the Family Guy: Blue Harvest DVD. It was the hilarious Star Wars spoof they did. This was a Fox DVD and was labeled as including a Digital Copy, which you can download to your computer and mobile devices. It was so cool :). It had several options. I was able to get a copy of the DVD through iTunes for my iPod and also download a WMV version for the computer, which I was also able to upload to my PSP. All of this was absolutely free and awesome. I thought this was how grand the future would be.

Then recently I bought the Warner Bros. DVD of the movie Mongol. On the package was labeled "Get a Digital Copy." Now based on my previous experience, I was overjoyed. I thought I'd have another movie for my mobile devices. So, I just tried to download this Warner Bros. branded "Digital Copy." Following the instructions I went to the WB website link, and it redirects me to a third party site I've never heard of, where to my surprise I'd have to pay $1.99 to download the "Digital Copy" :(. I had failed to read the very fine print on the packaging that said there were additional charges to get the "Digital Copy." I know $1.99 isn't really a lot of money for that convenience. But, after the freebie from the Family Guy DVD, it just seems lame to charge for the "digital copy." It seemed like such a cool reward and selling point for buying an official DVD. In any case, I'm going to be much more careful in reading the fine print on DVDs with "Digital Copy" labeled on them.

Hail to the Geek

I really get a kick out of this song :).



Hail to the Geek by Deaf Pedestrians

(Note: Extended Lyrics)

I got a Spiderman t-shirt
I got Converse that are rotting off my feet
I got a bad mustache
A reoccurring rash
And not a lot of cash
I spend it on my stash
Man it's good to be a geek

Well it's good to be a geek
It's good to be a creep
It's good to draw my pictures
That no one will ever see.
It's good to be a geek
It's good to be unknown
It's good I'm never waiting
Right beside the telephone
Cuz no one ever...

I play Dungeons and Dragons
I got a 13th level halfling fighter thief
Got seven hit die on my backstab
Sometimes you know it's good to be a geek.
It's good to be a geek
It's good to play the freak
It's good to comb my mullet once every other week
As far as I can see
It's good to play the Wii
Then stay up painting miniatures 'til 2 or 3
Cuz no one ever...

Someday I'll learn to play guitar
Start up a band and be a star
And when you wind up pumping gas
Just fill 'er up and kiss my a$$...

I'm addicted to star trek
I'm a Klingon speaking Federation freak
I find I'm more inclined
To spend the bulk of my time
On the starship Enterprise
Than talking to girls I meet

Well I never get the girl
But I like to be alone
Cuz I can always m@sterb@te when there's no one home
It's good to have a plan
It's good to be the man
It's good to download p0rn0 from a website in Japan
Cuz no one ever...

Someday I'll learn to play guitar
Start up a band and be a star
And when you wind up pumping gas
Just fill 'er up and kiss my a$$...

Ninth grade is when I got the swirlie
Tenth grade is when I got the indian burn
Four years of continuous wedgies
Wore nine pairs of briefs so they could all get a turn
Someday I'll buy a fancy condo
Someday I'll drive a car that's more than your house
Someday you'll kiss my a$$

It's good to make some noise
It's good to scream outloud
It's good to feel immortal
Like your last name is MacLeod
It's good to be a geek
Its good to be unseen
Its good to watch The Wrath of Khan on a plasma screen
It's good to be a geek
It's good to be the man
It's good to download p0rn0 from a website in japan
It's good to be a geek
It's good to be unknown
It's good I'm never waiting
Right beside the telephone
Cuz no one ever...

I got a bad mustache
A reoccurring rash
And not a lot of cash
I spend it on my stash
Man it's good to be a geek
You know I've gone in debt
To look like Boba Fett
I got my Holland set
Although it makes me sweat
Man it's good to be a geek!

Some Fun with ANIMOTO

So, I've been playing around with this ANIMOTO site, and am very impressed with the results. Basically ANIMOTO is a new way to make dynamic, slideshow videos set to music without any editing. Just upload your pics, pick a song from their list, and then the site mixes it up into a cool video. It amazes me actually. Unfortunately it only lets you make 30 second videos for free, about 12-15 pics. But you do get to make an unlimited amount. Longer videos you'll have to pay for. I believe $3 per video or $30 for a year's unlimited use. Not a bad deal, but for now I'll just play around with the free service.





Here are some videos I made of my Warhammer 40,000 collection. These are some of the models that I have built and painted :). It's really cool to see them this way :).
