Atari Memories

Checkered Flag for the Atari Jaguar.  Possibly the worst racing game in history.  And yes, I was playing it tonight. :-)

Phantasm Friday

"This won't hurt a bit.  Well, maybe just a little bit."  Rounding out Phantasm Friday with the last (so far) installment.  Reggie is back in his ice cream delivery uniform and Mike makes a bomb out of a car...or something.

Arioch! Blood and souls if you aid me now!

Another game by Ken St. Andre.  I'm a big fan of Michael Moorcock and Elric.

Miniatures Monday

A Chaos Space Marine from the Iron Warriors chapter.  Death to the False Emperor!

Phantasm Friday

"It's never over..."

The Tall man is back, and so is the original Mike.  A reunion of the original cast that makes no more or less sense than any of the other films in the series.  I love it. :-)

Seven Challenges Await!

Today I received the latest Tunnels & Trolls gamemaster adventure: Seven Challenges of Kartejan directly from Ken St. Andre himself!

And it's autographed to boot!

Beware my son

So this weekend, I finally finished assembling my Jabberwocky miniature.  It was way more time consuming than I'd hoped, but I'm pretty pleased with the results.  Now to prime it and paint it...
Does anyone have any colour suggestions?

Tunnels & Trolls en français!

Je suis l'heureux propriétaire de l'édition française de Tunnels & Trolls. C'est un livre très agréable avec une superbe décoration. Je souhaite juste que je pourrais le lire. :-) Je ne peux pas attendre de voir Tunnels & Trolls Deluxe en anglais!

I am the proud owner of the French edition of Tunnels & Trolls.  It's a very nice book with great artwork.  I just wish that I could read it.  :-)  I can't wait until we see Deluxe Tunnels & Trolls in English!

You can get your own French copy here.

Today we see a lone (and brightly attired) superhero preparing to fight crime!

My dirty little secret of gaming

There are a lot of games on the market, many of which I've owned and played.  There are also many that I've owned and never played.  For the most part, this is because the game seemed neat, but either wasn't really my style, or I just couldn't find enough people to play it.  But there are a couple of games out there that I have owned, never played, am pretty certain I never will play, but every so often I com back to them to re-read them and wish that I played them.  It's no secret that I'm a huge miniatures fan, so perhaps it makes sense that my dirty little secret would be Games Workshops Warhammer Fantasy Battles and Warhammer 40K.  I own the rules, I own enough miniatures to field three armies, one 40K army and two Fantasy Battles armies in various stages of assembly.  So I am a closet Warhammer fan, I've watched the game being played and it seems like it would be fun, but I'm not sure that it would really be my thing to play.  Building the miniatures and setting up the terrain though?  I'm all over that!  So, does anyone else have a dirty little secret of gaming?  Something that they wished they played but for some reason just don't?

Here we see my plague marines being lead into battle by Typhus the Traveller for the glory of Nurgle. 

Phantasm Friday

"You think when you die you go to heaven.  You come to us!"

Phantasm on a big budget with a chainsaw fight.

A sly rogue skulks through ancient ruins!

Sunset

I snapped this photograph of the sunset the other night.

Phantasm Friday

So, it's October, which mean Halloween is near, and for me, Halloween has always been about horror movies.  This month, I have decided to revisit Don Coscarelli's Phantasm series.  I'll be watching a different one each Friday, starting tonight with the best of the four, the original Phantasm.

I'm not going to bother reviewing it.  It doesn't make much sense, and maybe that's why I like it so much.  Zombie space dwarves, an ice cream truck, a 1971 Barracuda, and of course Angus Scrimm as The Tall Man.

The dreaded green dragon stands guard over his lair!
