Curt’s Warhammer 40k Adventure, part 1

So, with the cancellation of Star Wars tonight and the fear of incurring back pain by spending any more time on the computer, I decided to take a crack at getting started on putting together all the fiddly bits from the Battle of Macragge box I bought the other day.
I also decided it might be [...]

Examples of Play

Y’know, every time I read the corebook for an RPG, they always have an example of play. Usually goes like this.”Here is an example of play that doesn’t get into the rules (we’ll leave that for a later chapter) but rather demonstrates roleplaying.
The DM is Chris, John is playing Urthden, a Human Fighter, Giles is [...]

Space Hulk Remade

Does anyone remember that uber-hard DOS game from back in the day? Well, as it turns out, some folks have decided to remake the game in it’s entirety and they finished the project just a little while ago. I haven’t yet tried it, but it looks pretty neat.

Lunar Eclipse

Tonight we had a full Lunar Eclipse. Last one until 2010.
I managed to snap off a few with my S6000. Not bad but I would really like a telephoto lens.

Warhammer Space Marine Painter

This is just plain cool. Check out this Space Marine Painter on Bolter and Chainsword. There’s also a bit of a how-to here.

I’m [...]

My Spidey Sense is tingling, or my foot just fell asleep.

Bush’s Presidential Library Plan

I found this floating about the intertubes and thought it was worth a laugh.
The George W. Bush Presidential Library is now in the planning stages. You’ll want to be one of the first to make a contribution to this great man’s legacy.
The Library will include:
* The Hurricane Katrina Room, which is still under construction.
* [...]

Questions I have never been able to answer.

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?
Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?
Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check [...]
