Phone home, from a trash heap!

That ugly little space  monkey has been found! It looks like he never made it home.

Artwork of a grey, vertical rectangular box. The top half reads "Atari 2600. E.T.* The Extra-Terrestrial". The bottom half displays a drawn image of a brown alien with a large head and long neck beside a young boy in a red, hooded jacket.

Well I never thought this was actually real. It always sounded like some nerd urban legend, until now.

I guess the truth really is out there...................

Clicky here if you haven't heard.

E.T. game found 

Seriously E.T. games found

Don't fear the reaper?


Diablo 3 reaper of souls box art 0


I have made a triumphant and glorious return to the world of Sanctuary. Reaper of Souls, the first Diablo III expansion, has been played and conquered once so far.

The main campaign kicks off with Malthael the Angel o’ Death grabbing the much bally-hooed Black Soulstone. This houses Diablo (of course) and he is wanting to use it along with the Worldstone, souls, angel, demons, duct tape, gauze pads, ball bearings and the Colonel’s 11 herbs and spices to put an end to the eternal war of evil vs. good. You must fight your way through his army and stop him in the typical monster slaying faction.

Old model gets a retouch.



Long ago I grabbed a boneswarm to paint for fun. The look and pose of this model is great stuff. A pile of human bits and pieces rising up like a snake to attack is fantastic!

Priests of Mars review


Priests of Mars, is another Graham McNeil book set in the hum-drum dark bleak world of the 40K universe. I have enjoyed the majority of his stories so I grabbed this without even thinking twice.

Why Hordes/ Warmachine #3



Another reason I dig the Hordes/Warmachine? They advance the game universe. What? The fluff of the game sometimes alters the game. Wait…what? An advancing universe that actually means something? How cool is that? For me very! I like the models, the game, and they are moving the story forward. Well played Privateer Press well played. Wait won’t this advancing story ruin the game or change the way certain models play? Nope!

A better movie than the WOW dungeon.



Well it is April and Hollywood has thrown out another of their quarterly ghost/demon possession/haunting movies. This time it is Oculus and I chose to go see it? Why? Well there was a commercial where Karen Gillan (one of the two main characters) goes to eat an apple and instead eats a light bulb. That looked suitably creepy and I like me some creepy.

4-14-14 was another palindrome!

Thanx kitten!

If my previous post didn't choose my Warmachine force for me, well then this did.
Not only was 4-14-14 another April palindrome (4-1-14 see numbers are fun!) but it was also the day I was spawned.
This is the cake my special lady friend made for me. How awesome is a Cryx cake? Totally super is how much! It is red velvet to boot, another favorite of mine.

Now to finish my necrotech upgrades to become a fully fledged Cryxian cake-thrall!
