I paint wargame models every other blue moon and ramble on about other hobbies. May or may not be an actual cat. Opfor is Bestfor.
Squad 3, "Eco Round," named for it's members using the least amount of resources in Lambda Platoon (that there's not much choice in the matter is rarely brought up.) A group for fresh rookies and diehard pistoleers. Finished a squad for my Enforcers. #Necromunda #paintingminiatures #Nerdlings
134.) Negative Space Started out really good, but slowly the writing got more and more up it's own ass until all I can give it is a very long exasperated sigh. Specifically the 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘺 of the suicide epidemic, Whorl, and the rituals was doing some very heavy carrying here.
The Chaos Warriors half of the new Old World set finally popped up on ebay and for a pretty decent price too, can't wait for it to come in.
133.) LotR: Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition (rewatch) Ever since I finished Game of Thrones (the book, not the series) I felt like balancing it out, so here we are. They don't make em like they used to- I don't think they could even if they tried. All three movies, lightning in a bottle.
132.) BLKOUT: CONQUEST With the name I expected an overview/play-by-play of the land war in Abol, but instead half of it concerns the war's void combat, which was also pretty cool. Excited to see what the eventual models for Boone's Spartan- I mean, GREL- I mean, Homo Novum units look like.
131.) The Furious One of the most generic action plots I've seen in a long while, and the final fight went on for wayyy too long, but everything else was cool. Unno his name but the guy with the bow sure gets around, huh? He's been in like every single SEA action movie I've seen so far.
130.) Count Zero Really solid, liked it just as much as Neuromancer. Always a fan of the mysticism that's been married to AI, really glad that's been a genre staple from the very beginning. Also, it's a bit eerie how prescient it gets at times, especially given it's age.
129.) A Game of Thrones Oh HO, now that's good, I liked that. Surprisingly wasn't as hard to keep track of everybody like I thought- at least, not until the civil war. Then it gets rough. Wouldn't call it a slog since I enjoyed it, but it's definitely dense. Loved the Lannisters especially.
Finally tried out my idea for a scheme for my Enforcers, worked out pretty well. Def prefer a cyberpunk look over the regular gothic one.
128.) Doom: The Dark Ages (Revelations DLC) So, I loathe movement shooters, which made the spear completely dead to me. The first 1/4th of the expansion where you're forced to use it? Utter dogshit to the point that I almost dropped this. The other 3/4ths? They're great, just like the base game.
>Start Doom Dark Ages' DLC >Oh wow it's the spear they were hyping up, wonder what it's deal is >It's Eternal's movement mechanics, again
Oh, no, Iron Lung came out before that happened, that graph is about the spike in purchases the game got when the titanic sub imploded
127.) Darktide (Skitarii DLC) Actually feels really good, the best DLC class for Darktide thus far. The class-exclusive weapons all feel great to use, the skill forest is far and away better than the normal skill tree, and the servoskull being able to hack independently is godsend.
All of the Worldwalker's own are unusually erudite for soldiers of Chaos, but his Chosen are especially so, more akin to warrior-scholars than anything else. Finally finished a full squad of Chosen, but I still have the command version to go. #WarhammerFantasy #TheOldWorld #Nerdlings
126.) Godzilla: Final Wars The secret unlockable ending where, if you collected all the hidden Manilla Gems, Godzilla becomes the kaiju Doom Slayer Was nothing but fanservice and early 2000s action schlock and it was fucking great, I had a big doofy grin on the entire time. Magnificent.
125.) Godzilla: Tokyo SOS Better than the last one, but ultimately mid. Not much else to comment on. Damn, the Millennium Godzillas kinda suck, don't they? Only Final Wars left to go but even if that turns out good then that only makes 2 winners, an abysmal number compared to the other eras.
I did read Dune sometime around then but this is what I got and finished first and y'know what, yeah, that really does explain alot
124.) Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla Kiryu's the second best Mechagodzilla of the entire series design-wise IMO and the best in terms of backstory, which was so good that Godzilla vs. Kong reused it years later. Everything else? Eh... save yourself the time, just look up clips on youtube instead.
123.) Godzilla: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack "Godzilla as the sins of imperialism" is metal as hell, they really need to bring that back. Maybe in Minus Zero? Hopefully, though you can see a lot here that influenced Minus One. Really good, the best Godzilla film since Destoroyah.
Continuing to chip away at my Chosen. I've got a full 10 stack of em right now so I'm set, but I am interested in seeing what the proper Old World sculpts will look like once they get to making them.
Microsoft, seeing Sony magdump into their foot, quickly announces "Hey! I can do that too!"
122.) Godzilla vs. Megaguirus I'm sure "Godzilla can survive a black hole" has factored into powerscaling arguments at some point. Liked it better than the last one, but the human portions were a mess. We've reached the 2000s now my guy, I can't keep grading the writing on a curve for much longer.
AHKTUALLY actually it's multiple thrones playing for a higher throne, therefore the title is correct
Only tangentially related but I appreciate the layers of the ogre illiterate meme, since the author of Ulysses pretty much outright said "it's really not that deep bro"
121.) Godzilla 2000 Poor Orga, forgotten among Godzilla's rogues, your design was the only good thing about you. Pretty poor. A reboot that doesn't act like one, CGI that *really* should've been models, and a family adventure tone that clashes hard with the note they left off on with Destoroyah.
Well shit, I never knew that. Don't have much experience with kaiju outside of Godzilla. Seems like he was blessed/cursed to be a doofy guy no matter which era.
