Summer two months in.......

It is now August and summer is all but over.

Strange how this was supposed to be a summer of winged death. It hasn't. Whomever brought that G.W. rumor out was sadly mistaken. Yes I know that there are "technically" two months of summer left. However, I think this rumor is dead. I am surprised how everyone was all geeked -out for these cool planes and such we all were getting. Then all of a sudden silence. Nobody seems to remember the madness this rumor instilled in people. There was that 6th ed. thing flying around to distract everyone, and then the Sisters of battle showed up too. The flying stuff was forgotten and possibly never spoken about. Weird how that happens. A super cool awesome heard it from a good source rumor...that doesn't pan out or is forgotten due to shiny new distractions.

Although, I'll happily eat crow if a bunch of plane pics show up from G.W.

The Sisters of Battle, the nuns with guns are soon to be a White Dwarf codex over the next two issues. This was how the Blood Angels started to get them into 5th, and the Sisters are getting a similar treatment. Will it be a good intro for them into 5th? Who knows. I kind f don't care. If this was an official codex with model support I'd at least grab the codex for a read and to know my enemy. However, as a White Dwarf only, I'll just wait until they PDF it on their website. I imagine it will make them playable, but not super awesome like the seven people who still run Sisters want.

On the nerdery front, Friday nights are awesome for cartoons. G4 has started running the Iron Man and Wolverine anime series. It isn't awful. Cartoon network has also dusted off Thundercats. They have received a suitable redux. I had fond memories of this show, until I watched it again back in the late 90's. The original was drek! It was further proof that all thing loved as a kid were awesome, until seen as an adult.

The redux of this cartoon is, so far, well animated and full of homage to the original show. It is more mature than a lot of kid shows, think Batman animated/ Justice League level of maturity, so far. I'll keep my eyes on it, until it begins to suck, which will probably be halfway through the season.

Futurerama's new season is also worth it on the comedy central. They haven't lost a step writing that show. I'm very happy it is running and still funny.

Munchin the card game by Steve Jackson games, is a riot. We played a bunch of this game latley and it is a good time. We run the original D&D-ish version of the game. It has some great humor and the screw your buddies aspect is great fun. It runs fast and you can get through quite a few games in an hour. It has become a fun little staple in the house this last month.

One of our favorite curse cards , next to the Chicken head curse.

Gen Con T-minus 1 day 15 hours!

Last is the fact that there will be an N.F.L. season this year. The lockout nonsense is over and we can get back to large meat covered robuts kicking the crap out of each other over four quarters.Now I just need Denver to get rid of Tim Tebow and his cult of fan/media worshipers! Well even if, and for some sick reason won't, that doesn't happen there will still be the Foozball being played for another ten seasons!
