For real this time

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, Robotech RPG Tactics, Mekton and the Geek Goddess AJ Lee.

I took in my laptop Computer into Currys and PC World on Monday for a software check-up. As there internet has been down all weekend they said that there will be a delay. They will contact my ever on Wednesday or Thursday to let me know that is going on. Hopefully it will be fix by then. I have switched from the old computer to my mum’s laptop (NOT THE CRAP DELL she once had) as the old computer was slow. It is about eight years old. The only problem I have with this new laptop is that the space button is a bit stiff and the track pad can be a bit of a pain at times. This may be due to the lack of use as my mum only really uses it for half an hour a week if it is lucky. But is not the Dell crapbook so I am happy using it. I got my laptop back on Thursday. Chrome is now work fine and the overheat problems have been fix too. The only problem they found which I never knew about was the Ethernet port was not working, they did not had the time to fix it but as I use the wireless it was not important and left it to next time I SEND it off. Which might be soon as the "DOWN" button has came off during the weekend.

Now for the Mantic news. They have revealed sculpts for the Nameless Spawn for DreadBall, angels for Kings of War and several new Goblin and Ogre bits that will be out next month for Kings of War. Mantic has added to their store several more pre-orders. This time with several new Orc and Undead armies, as well as the Undead Vampiress Lady Ilona.

Nameless Spawn from DreadBall

On the Crooked Dice Games this week they have revealed alternate character creation rule that deal with stats. How office these are is still up in the air. Will they replace the old one in a rules update? Fairer alternative rules that will get a PDF and/or book release with alternate SMG rules in the future? Just optional rules that are hidden somewhere randomly on the forums? I have no clue. Here is the post from Graeme@Crooked Dice:

"Here's my (almost) official suggestion for how to increase stats:

Archetype Stat Adds 

Increasing stats now costs a variable amount depending on the increase desired; increasing any stat higher and higher now costs the number of adds as given on the table below.

Stat Increase To (Adds Required)
2, 3 or 4 (1)
5 or 6 (2)

Stats increase one point at a time; so increasing from 3 to 5 would cost 3 adds: 3 to 4 (1 add) then 4 to 5 (2 adds). Stats cannot be increased to higher than 6. Hits cannot be increased.”

I have asked does this might include the Move stat, however there has not been a reply to the question yet. Oh and Argonauts Programme Guide should be coming out on the first week of July. Due to this I will have to redo most of my 7TV teams. I will be posting redone teams as images starting with my Martial Arts Detective School team at 100, 200 and 300 rating on Wednesdays starting from tomorrow.

There has been no Robotech RPG Tactics or OVA this week.

Next is the Mekton Zero KickStarter news. It was a week was the last week KickStarter. The stretch goals that we unlocked and other things being added on or revealed since last week’s post were: All backers at Citizen level and above will get the PDF of “Battle Guide: The Kalidur Island Front”; the physical book is hard back and fully coloured; and everyone at Citizen level and above will receive one Uru Killer Miniature and everyone at Ace Level and above will get two Uru Killer Miniatures instead of just one. It managed to make $50,125 and had 618 backers.

Next is WWE Payback and the fall-out. I will be making this short as I been busy westing time on mobile phone games (D.O.T. and Divine Armaments). Sheamus defeated Damien Sandow in their Kickoff Match. Sadly Sandow is still targeting Sheamus with his partner Cody Rhodes. Paul Heyman’s new client Curtis Axel pinned Wad Barrett while the Miz had Barrett in the Figure Four Leg Lock in the triple threat match for Intercontinental Champion. As I revealed last week AJ Lee defeated Kaitlyn and is now the GREATEST Divas Champion of all time. It looks like she has made Stephanie McMahon jealous. United States Champion Dean Ambrose defeat Kane via Count-out and Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins defeated team R-K-No (Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan). Now Orton and Bryan are fighting ageist each other. The returning CM Punk defeat Chris Jericho. CM Puck drop Heyman from his side on Raw and now Brock Lesnar is gunning for him. Alberto Del Rio kept on brutally attacking Dolph Ziggler head, even when officials tried to check on Dolph. This led to Del Rio winning the World Heavyweight Championship and the hatred of the fans. Dolph was meet to be off as he was not medically cleared to be on show, but he came out of nowhere on both Raw and Smackdown (without AJ and Big E). He was meant to be back this week on Raw, but I do not think he will be due to the blows Del Rio dealt to his head after Jericho hit him with the Code Breaker for costing him the match. Lastly the Three Stages of Hell Match between WWE Champion John Cena and Ryback. Ryback won the first match which was a Lumberjack Match. Cena won the second one which was a Tables Match. Then in the third match was an Ambulance Match was won by Cena when he slam Ryback though the top of the Ambulance.

Now for what AJ Lee has been up to this past week. Well like I said in last week’s post and above AJ became the Diva’s Champion at Payback. AJ appeared on Raw reporting that Dolph was off with injured again and then talk about how she has always been a champion and now has proof. Stephanie McMahon came out. She congratulates AJ. She then move on to say that she does not understand why AJ is perpetuating the stereotype that women are trying to tear each other down, that what AJ did to Kaitlyn was degrading and that AJ should grow up and act like a real champion. First off AJ is acting like you stereotypical (villain/anti-hero) champion and second all this coming out of Stephanie’s mouth. Major hypocrite or what? Kaitlyn and several of the Divas came out. Stephanie was not happy that Kaitlyn interrupted her, but let her of this time ONLY due to what she has been thought and then Stephanie left. Kaitlyn chatted for a moment and then she attacked AJ. Big E pulled AJ out of the ring and the Diva’s Championship and carried her kicking and screaming out of the arena. AJ also had a match of Smackdown against Natalya which AJ won.
