WARNING NSFW images It has been a while since I did an anime figure unboxing and, if I am honest, this is likely to the last one for a long time. Whilst bigbadtoystore were excellent as usual the poor exchange rate, high shipping costs and the customs duty meant that this model had nearly 50%Continue reading “Revy unboxing; definitely needed two hands for this one”

Honour among thieves. Enough cheese and ham for a sandwich but still pure DnD
Honour among thieves is the latest attempt to bring the popular role playing game to the silver screen; but this time it seems that Hasbro have finally managed to pull it off and create a movie which is actually a Dungeons and Dragons film. The early noughties efforts may have had the excellently overacted performanceContinue reading “Honour among thieves. Enough cheese and ham for a sandwich but still pure DnD”
GW pre-orders. Here we go again, and again and again
I had not planned to do a GW article this weekend to be honest. I had intended to do an unboxing blog for my new anime figure and none of the pre-orders/new releases this weekend interested me. I like the new Farsight model but not enough to want a box of Tau (I still haveContinue reading “GW pre-orders. Here we go again, and again and again”
Begun the culture wars have (round 300 million-ish)
So recently I have not been online much due to a mix of ill health and real life events. It’s no bad thing to take a break of course but predictably as soon as I went back online I saw that Magic the Gathering was trending. Never a good sign. So, ignoring all wisdom andContinue reading “Begun the culture wars have (round 300 million-ish)”
Do all roads lead to ten?
You have to hand it to GW; they know how to both build a hype train and also shoot themselves in the foot at the same time. We’re a few days out from adepticon 2023 and they simultaneously drop this and then they manage to send a model out which had not even been revealedContinue reading “Do all roads lead to ten?”
Battlefield Earth – not quite as bad as the film
February 5th 2023 Battlefield Earth is a classic piece of pulp science fiction where the bad guys are either capitalist, greedy business beings or priests, the good guys are so good that the main character is even called ‘Goodboy’ and the good guys not only win; they totally defeat the bad guys by using theirContinue reading “Battlefield Earth – not quite as bad as the film”
Shards of Earth; a stunningly well sculpted piece of SciFi
Shards of Earth is a beautifully sculpted (and yes that is an intentional pun for those who have read it) piece of science fiction which manages to blend the technical depth of ‘hard’ science fiction with the character driven fast space of space opera. I will say from the outset that this is an excellentContinue reading “Shards of Earth; a stunningly well sculpted piece of SciFi”
High on Life, a glob of meh on my hard drive
High on Life is a game you play if you want less frenzied gameplay than Doom, less zany nonsense than Saints Row 3 and are a fan of the Rick and Morty animated series. For anyone else though this game is a glob of sheer meh all over your console or PC. I am generallyContinue reading “High on Life, a glob of meh on my hard drive”
Otherland, the book which broke me
So after hundreds if not thousands of books I have been defeated. Otherland by Tad Williams is the first book I simply gave up on as it had no redeeming features. It is long winded, dull and after nearly twenty percent of it I had no real idea on the plot, connection to any ofContinue reading “Otherland, the book which broke me”
Goodbye 2022. You will not be missed
So 2022 has come to an end and frankly not soon enough. This has been an awful year for me personally what with the sudden death of my father, shocking mental health and the rising cost of living in the UK just making life feel like existence rather than living. However there have been someContinue reading “Goodbye 2022. You will not be missed”
