Okay so yesterday two great things happened - my student loan came in, and I had my first games of warhammer in almost 3 years.
Both losses.
You see in the first game, using my two newest modes - a duel pistol wielding trenchcoat wearing rogue trader, and a riot armed trenchcoat wearing judge with his cyber dog - I had high hopes. Especially when afformentioned pistol wielding fella jumped off a ledge pistols first and fired at both my opponents arms.
He however, had assassins. And it all went wrong.
The target assassin, obvious annoyed at being shot at, dashed across the table and lopped off my fellas arm. Her partner then dived through a window spectacularly and lopped off the judges leg and arm.
The pistol wielding guy, realising that he was soon to die, pulled his pistol out, aimed it at the assassins head matrix style and she dropped like a fly.
The second game wasnt so... equal. The same pistol guy accompanied by two bodyguards were butchered by an inquisitor lord.. the whole thing took about an hour as he tore his way through three guys.
Pain. Unspeakable pain.
My response to this, as well as the issue that the only other players in our little campaign group have space marines, was to buy up every servitor in the shop - on my desk right now theres 8 servitors, two with heavy bolters, the others with very stabby instruments and there accompanied by dave the floating skull.
Now Dean (the guy with the inquisitor lord) will face off against the space marines whilst I GM. About half way through the game though I intend to add a nice surprise....
Mwahaha I'm evil. So evil.

Dont download Itunes7
Posted Sep 13, 2006
Just a heads up.
Basically Itunes 7 is huge. It eats CPU space for goblin knows what reason. Music becomes totally distorted if you try and so much as move your mouse to another part of the computer, and just forget visulisations.
Apple have kept stum about this, which makes me think they've actually released a beta version and not the real thing by mistake and its made them look stupid.
Oh well, I'm late for work although thankfully I'm about to spend the entire night painting my true love- Space Marines
In Gold and Red. Yes its a simplistic color scheme, but having all that shinny gold armour marching through a CoD table is EXACTLY what I want to see, especially when my opponents fielding a medevil guard army. Mwahaha I'm evil, EVIL!

When house mates go bad
Posted Sep 8, 2006
I have two flat mates - lets call one Tony and the other Tommy.
Tommy recently moved in, and he's insanely brilliant. Clearly has got out less then me (impressive), a Doctor Who nut, and a bit of a slob. However Tommy has mad me laugh so much (his 'What sort of Porn ladies do you like?' question was surprisingly blunt - in fact he's caught me off guard several times and only Caroline usually manages that) I've been in tears, whilst the debate as to whether you could describe 2001 to someone raged on for about two hours (although it resulted in me coming up with a theory that perhaps the film isnt spread over thousands of years, instead over a short space of time with the Monkeys being symbolic of the film itself - oh yes, lots of hypothesis about 2001) - which eventually concluded with 'Its like an Opera in Space with Monkeys - you dont know whats going on, nothing makes sense, and it has Monkeys in'
Tony on the other hand is slipping slowly from the sane. The arguement over the pots (which resulted in him cleaning the entire kitchen) was a sound victory for me*. However the saga continued as Tony made a cunning counter strike and turned off the internet**
Comes internet paying day he demands I leave the money outside his door. Okay says I, and heads for my penny jar...
Now I've been issued an ultimatum through Tommy - to pay him in proper money or no internet for me.
Hmmmmm....
*Strokes longest beard he's ever grown and reads paper*
Oooo whats this, 20 pound a month for television and broadband?
*Having watched dark crystal all night, is still immitating the chancelloR*
MMmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Plus... might be able to rig the xbox to it...
MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm
* Hey I use my pots and mine alone - hence why I keep them upstairs and laugh at everyone for being dirty so and so's. Also helps when they bring girlfriends over - they start washing the pots and end up looking foolish.
** Just nasty I say

Steve Irwin
Posted Sep 5, 2006
I havent been to bed since about 1pm yesterday, and when I've been up for 24 hours the good taste inhibiter switches off and I get very giddy, so you can imagine my reaction to the news that Steve Irwin had been killed by a sting ray. Lets just say that if I were to repeat what I did here this journal would be removed as insensitive..
You know I'd like to die like Steve Irwin - not killed by a stringray of course, more reflective or what I loved.
For example - crushed by a camera, crushed by my DVD collection, lead poisoning from years of old GW figures, perhaps from the metal and plastic filings working there way into my blood stream and stopping the flow of blood around my body.
Like I said on warseer, he was a daft sod for screwing around with animals that clearly wanted to eat him (the komodo dragon was the best - it bit him right through his shoes and chased him up a tree), but he clearly loved what he did and his pratting around was for a reason.
I remember him winning an award for best attraction in Oz, and he said something like 'See the wildlife does matter'. It was pretty odd because he had a go at all the other attractions for having no animals, but I liked him for that.
Heres hoping that baby Irwin grows up and follows in his dads footsteps... and stays well away from the great barrier reef; leave that one to the fish experts.

Halo 1 and 2 - the 16 hour session
Posted Sep 1, 2006
Yep. Me and Howard - sadly moving out - decided to turn Friday into a Halo session.
However we had a leaving part last night for Howard and Yendrek (also leaving) and when I casual mentioned we should start the halo session early well...
We started around 2am, had about 2 hours worth of breaks and finished the full game.
Howard was point man, due to his eggerness to charge in and kill, I was covering fire - a task that I love because I get to sit back with a sniper rifle and have fun.
Anywho Howards back with food so Im off to eat tea and reminisce over a wasted night that was absolutely brilliant.
