Neoscream's Life: 22nd to 28th April 2013

MRX-010 Psyco Gundam Mark II

Welcome to the Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of some of the things I have done last week and news on stuff from Crooked Dice Games, Mantic Game and the Geek Goddess AJ Lee.

On Saturday a small group of us had a meal to celebrate Roxi's birthday. By small group I mean me Richard and Roxi. Darren H could not make it as he was doing over time for his work. We cannot blame him as he was earning £35 an hour for this over time. We had a meal at ASK Italian and then we went to the cinema to watch Iron Man 3.

Also on Saturday before going out me and Roxi completed the story line of Skylanders on co-op mode and played some Boarderlands. On Skylanders I have now gained all of Sprocket's upgrades.

During the week I managed to find an A+ Certification course from Milton Keynes Collage that start at the end of September. I plan on doing it. This will most likely affect the blog when it starts. It will meanly affect the Neoscream's Life post as the course is on a Tuesday.

With the introduction of Deadzone I have decided to change this section from just DreadBall to everything Mantic. First off, DreadBall. On Thursday Mantic finally began shipping the second shipment. Everything should all be shipped out by the end of this week. Remembering how they ship out stuff in the first shipment us in the UK will be having our stuff ship us the end of this week.  So at a guess I will not be getting it until early to middle of next week. They also revealed that they are in the middle of tooling the Season Three production moulds. Oh and it looks like there will be no Orky in the second shipment. Next is Loka. The survey for the KickStarter has been sent out and I have filled in mine. I was at Rook level which I chose the Ice set and I added the Queen of the 5^th Element to it. Lastly I move onto the Deadzone Mantic news. I learnt at Salute that states and dice rolling will work like DreadBall, you roll X number of dice with a target number being the state. However I learnt this week that it will be using D8s (eight sided dice) instead of D6s (standard six sided dice). I really like the move to D8. The KickStarter for Deadzone started on Friday at 1:30PM and made its original goal in just 33 minutes. WOW. I have gone for scout level. I have been enjoying painting the DreadBall stuff from the Striker level from its Kickstarter, but did I really need all those teams and MVPs. Truthfully no. Maybe just one team from each season plus several MVPs would have served better. So I will just go for one team with Deadzone and get whatever add-ons I need for them. I was planning on going for Enforcers starter force, but the Rebels have won me over with the Survey Drones and the Teraton. I am also thinking on getting same scenery from add-ons if they will do them as add-ons. Shame you cannot choose which of the two teams you get Recon level or I would have gone with that and chose Enforcers and Rebels. During the weekend the extra goals that were unlocked were: An alternate two Scenery Sprues, two Specialist figure for each starter force, two Support figures for each starter force and a Mercenary Character called The Survivor in Recon level and above. Survivor is a Limited Edition figure like the MVP Limited Edition from DreadBall. The active goals when I went to bed on Sunday night was to get another alternate Scenery Sprue and an extra scenery Sprue for Recon level and above at £250,000.

Next is Crooked Dice Games news. Sadly the only bit of news I have is that there are painted images of the three new United Radionics characters that are coming out next month.

Now for the RoboTech: RPG Tactics news. The KickStarter is going well. As you can see below I have upped my plague to Battle Cry so I will have the starter set the two KickStarter exclusives (Rick Hunter's and Roy Fokker's Valkyries) and a bunch of extra stuff (three Valkyries, one Valkyrie upgraded pack, nine Battlepods, one Officer’s Battlepod, one Reconnaissance Battlepod and art work). Due to money I am trying to avoid the add-ons, but I would really love to get more Destroids and the big old Mk2 Monster. This week the extra goals that were unlocked were: Roy Fokker Valkyrie, a Reconnaissance Battlepod in the Starter set, an extra Officer’s Battlepod in Battle Cry, an extra Reconnaissance Battlepod in Battle Cry, Mk II Monster, replaced the twelve standard dice in the Starter with twelve Zentraedi Faction dice, an extra Gnerl Fighter in the Gnerl Fighter add-on and Support Battlepods. The active goals when I went to bed on Sunday night was two extra standard Destroids to the starter set at $430,000, add both the Spartan and Phalanx Destroids to Battle Cry at 2,200 backers, replacing the cardboard templates with plastic ones is the Starter set at 2,400 backers and adding two Support Battlepods to Battle Cry at 2,600 backers.

Now for what AJ Lee has been up to this past week. AJ appeared twice on Raw last week. The first time was when she and Big E Langston were supporting the World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler in his match against Chris Jericho. It was a long and good match, but Dolph won that match. Before the second time AJ appeared on Raw, Big E had his second ever singles match. Both Dolph and AJ did not come out to support him Big E destroyed his opponent Zack Ryder. The Next time we see AJ was in a Diva Battle Royal for number one contender for the Divas Championship. She was up against Naomi, Layla, Aksana and Tamina Snuka and won. Hippy.

On NXT this week which I did not see, AJ hsd s match against Kaitlyn for the Divas Championship. Now is this THE title match or not I do not know. Sadly Kaitlyn got her first ever win against AJ. BOO Kaitlyn must have cheated BOO.

Sadly due to some unknown problem, the Sky box did not record last week's Smackdown. Luckily AJ was not on Smackdown this week.
