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, Mekton and the Geek Goddess AJ Lee.
I was off
work on Thursday as I was going to Milton Keynes Collage to enroll for their A+
Certification course. But first I went to the shopping centre MK with my mum to
get haircuts and a little bit of shopping. We also had lunch at Nando's before
going to Milton Keynes Collage. One of the places we went to was Marks and
Spencer as my mum needed underwear.
While at the underwear section I kept on seeing panties that remind me
of the MFC model AraWhisper (formerly CandyWhisper). Because of that it felt s
lot more embarrassing than normal being in the woman's underwear section. After
the collage we went to do the food shopping.

On Friday's
MK HeroClix post I forgot to talk about the X-Men HeroClix TabApp set I
brought on Thursday so I have decided to talk about it here. Their states and
abilities are very great and playable.
The sculpts look nice on their own and are good quality, but the style
does not go with the standard HeroClix and they are massive compared is not
helped by the thicker dial.
It was
announced on Saturday that the Christmas special will be the last time Matt
Smith will play the Doctor in Doctor Who. Who will replace him? I have no clue,
but he will be missed. Three years of being the Doctor is about average. The
only ones that bet that are Jon Pertwee (four years), David Tennant (five
years) and Tom Baker (seven years).

| Asterian DreadBall Team |
Now for the
Mantic news. I forgot to state last week that there are now Beta rules for
Deadzone now that are free to download. Mantic has also now published alpha
army rules for the Plague in Warpath. A lot of the new aliens in the Rebel
faction seem to be alien races that people were suggesting for DreadBall teams
back during the DreadBall KickStarter. Before we had the Season Three team
backs wants humanoid animal like alien like cats, dinosaurs, shakes/fish and
hamsters in Mecha, as well as John Doe’s race, space elves and winged aliens.
We got the space Elves in the form of the Asterian. We got John Doe’s race in
the form of the Nameless. And we got dinosaur like team from the Teraton. Now
with the Rebels in DeadZone we have cats humanoid from the Yndij (well
Cat/Monkey), shake/fish humanoids from the Sphyr and winged aliens in the form
of the Kraaw. I hope these races will appear in DreadBall in the future
seasons, as well as human mutants and cyborgs (oh and may be half breeds). On
Friday we got an image of the Asterian DreadBall team, oddly they do not have
helmets. With the Deadzone KickStarter, during the last week the stretch goals
that we unlocked and other things being added on were: Hard plastic plague
zombies will be made that are compatible with the Kings of War zombies and five
were added to Striker level and above (not including terrain only levels); a Black

Boomer; and the Urban Pattern Iron Ancestor. Note there was no each figure to
the Marauder Faction Starter. We did not quite make it to Hard Plastic
Enforcers in Peacekeeper Armour, but so long as Mantic can make the remainder
of the goal up via Paypal after the first survey, they will still honour the
set. Deadzone managed to make $1,216,482 and got 4,306 backers. This makes
Deadzone Mantic’s biggest KickStarter so for, it has ever better Mantic’s
previous KickStarters all added together in money made: Kings of War ($354,997
and 1,568 backers), DreadBall ($728,985 and 2,539 backers) and Loka ($104,172
and 745 backers). We sadly never got vehicles for the Rebels unless the Corporation
Striders can be used by them. At the end I went for Scout level choosing Rebels,
a Rebel force bundle, both KickStarter Exclusive mercenaries and Sergeant
Howlett. Deadzone manage to do the have the same buzz fell as Robotech RPG
Tactics did which I was thinking it would not, in face I think we unlocked more
for Deadzone in the last seven days then the last eight and a bit day of
Robotech.
Next is
Crooked Dice Games news. The three time lost travellers: Eliza (Victorian
Samurai), Sachs (a mutated manservant), Genevieve (a martial maid) and the
alternate Saurian and Toad-face heads for Eliza and Sachs have been added to
their store for £4 each of £11 for all three. Also the Deal of the Month for
June is a bundle pack of Tweedy Mattison, WPC May, Daisy Taylor, Casual May,
Action Melody and Wiliam Killan for just £15. Normally to get them is two
figure set would cost you £22.50 (£7.50 a pack). So the deal is basically three
for the price of two. Good for Doctor Who fan who do not already have them.
Sadly I brought them about thirteen months ago at last year’s Campaign. Also
June’s newsletter has came out with greens of the four FedSec Support figures
that will come out next month, news of The Argonauts Programme Guide that
should be out later this month (finally, YES! YES! YES!) and that an add on
book to 7th Voyage called The Labours of Herakles is in the works.
There was no
Robotech RPG Tactics news this week.
Next is OVA
KickStarter news. During the week the stretch goals that we unlocked and other
things being added on were: Backers of the Bounty Hunter level and above can
now buy additional copies of the paperback version of the main rule book; all
backers will gain a special bonus PDF that will include material for playing
characters from Seven Seas’ manga, including Vampire Cheerleaders and
Paranormal Mystery Squad!; backers of Bounty Hunter level and above can add
packs of three dice, each dice in the pack has a different OVA character face
on it; and Miho will personally pack the deliveries and will slip in a custom
die with her face on it to all backers of Bounty Hunter level and above. Also
the active stretch goals for the OVA KickStarter when I went to bed on Sunday
night were: Nothing sadly.
Next is the
Mekton Zero KickStarter news. During the week the stretch goals that we
unlocked were and other things being added on: All backers at Ace level and
above will now get five Mauler and five Vector minis instead of one of each.
Also the active stretch goals for the Mekton Zero KickStarter when I went to
bed on Sunday night were: All backers at Citizen level and above will get the
PDF of “Metal Armour Warrior Mekton Zero: Episode One - The Shadow of War” at
$30,000.
Now for what
AJ Lee has been up to this past week. Oh
BEEP! It Monday the 3rd of June and I have not even started this.
Facepalm. I blame Mantic and One Piece for that. This will be another Massive
blog post again as it is taking up five pages on my word processor before
pictures. Ok best get onto writing about her holy Geek Goddess. First off last
week’s Raw AJ was supporting Big E Langston in a third match ageist Alberto Del
Rio. AJ tried to help Big E by pulls off the top turnbuckle, but sadly ended up
costing Big E the match. Big E was in a tag team match on Main Event as well
but it looks like there was no AJ at his side so I do not know the result of
the match.
On Smackdown
AJ was supporting Big E in a fourth match ageist Del Rio. Five matches
(including the tag team, but not including House Show) in the space of two
weeks is getting stupid. AJ tried to
help Big E by clawing pulls Del Rio’s eyes out when the refs back was turned
and this time it worked and Big E won. So the odds are 50/50 between Del Rio
and Big E. Also it looks like Dolph Ziggler will be back this week as well as
one of AJ’s ex-boyfriends, CM Punk.
I will try
to talk about the Triple H stuff and the John Cena stuff from Extreme Rules and
onwards next week as this post is already massive and I do not have the time at
the moment to write about them.
