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.
With
my Tonsillitis this week, they are fine now. Just still on the medication until
tomorrow.
We
have been having major problems with our washing machine for quite some time
now and I would like to talk about it. For several weeks before hand the
washing machine was making a huge racket, even our next door neighbour
commented about it. So on the 22nd of June (guessing on the date) my
mum booked a visit from British Gas for the 27th of June. So on the
27th a British Gas engineer came to check it. The bearing had gone, so they had
to replace the whole drum. As it would have to be ordered and installed by
Hotpoint, we had to book another appointment which was the 4th of July. The
washing machine was also too dangerous to use in this state so we could not use
it until the work had been done. On 3rd of July we had a phone call
from Hotpoint. According to them, British Gas never told them that the drum was
needed to be ordered, so they could not install it on the day we booked it. So
we had to re-book the appointment for 8th of July. On the day a Hotpoint
engineer came and installed a new drum. According to my dad the engineer was
quite clumsy with handling the new drum. Over the next couple of days we
noticed that the washing machine was leaking. My mum called British Gas again
on the 13th of July. They told us to stop using the washing machine
as they expect it might be a cracked drum and booked a British Gas engineer to
come on the 15th of July. They came and after a lot of looking they
found it was a cracked drum. They booked a Hotpoint engineer to come and
install a new drum on the 18th of July saying that the engineer will
differently come with a new drum. When the Hotpoint engineer came on the
Thursday and looked at the washing machine. He told my mum that the drum was
cracked, which my mum replied we know that is why you are here to install a new
one. The engineer said that they do not carry drum as standard as drums vary
from model to model and that they were not told anything about ordering in one.
My mum had to re-book for the earliest they could do was the 25th of
July. After being passed around on the phone to different people trying to make
a complaint about all this my mum finally got someone the following morning.
The person was quite rude and unhelpful. Basically to them it takes time for
these parts to arrive. Which is true but they should have order it straight
away than wait until they booked the appointment to order them. They could
write it off and give us money to a new one, however that would be only 30% off
the new one. So that is a no. Sadly the damn it is costing us money as we had
to buy some new clothes for work to keep me going and hand wash some pants so I
have enough too. Not a nice job when you have a runny tummy due to Antibiotics.
Figures cross the damn machine gets fixed on Thursday.
Next
is the Mantic news. Images for the Plague Faction Booster figures have been
revealed and I have a feeling I forgot to report that the fantastic Rebels
Faction Booster figures were revealed a couple of weeks ago. A couple of small
images of the new human army for Kings of War have appeared and Mantic is now
doing the standard Enforcers, Cyphers and Forge Guard in hard plastic now for
Deadzone. Also Jake has finished off the Season Three rule for DreadBall.
Now
for the Robotech RPG Tactics. Finally a store for getting the add ons is now
up. My add ons were the Special Edition Resin SDF-1, Objective Pack 1 (that has
a Valkyrie arm carrying Linn Minmel, a Giant Tuna and "Infiltrator"
Max Sterling), MKII Monster, a pack of YF-4 Valkyries and UEDF Token Pack.
Next
is the Warmachne and Hordes news. This coming Wednesday will see the releases
Aurora the Numen of Aerogenesis (Convergence Warcaster), Clockwork Angels
(Convergence Unit), Deliverers (Protectorate Unit), Greygore Boomhowler and Co
(Mercenary Minion Trollkin Character Unit) and issue 49 of No Quarter Magazine.
Also we have unlocked on the Warmachine: Tactics KickStarter before I went to
bed on Sunday were: a Character Colouring system; the four character Warjacks
of Apotheosis; an extra Sturgis Collector’s Coin as an add on; the artwork
“True Blue” for Epic level and above or as an add on for $350; a PDF add on of
a book of short stories about the new characters called “Rites of Passage” from
the game for $5; and ten exclusive cards of the new characters from the game
for the Warmachine card game High Command as an add on for $10. Known stretch
goal still to go are: single-player mission pack called “Fire and Ice” at
$1,010,000; four more Mercenary characters (currently un-named) each at

downloadable images of the Warmachine: Tactics maps that can be printed out and
use on the tabletop (SWEET) and Kickstarter Exclusive custom mod kits featuring
wild warcaster re-designs that you have never see anywhere else. I want the
maps and I might up my pledge to include the High Command cards and the short
stories. I am not planning on getting the card game (yet) just want them just
in case I do in the future. Oh and this Monday was the second week of the
Journeyman League. I will talk more about it next week but all I will say is that
AJ Lee must equal Cyriss just like Zeus equals Jupiter.
Next
is the Crooked Dice news. They have revealed that the green of next month’s
figures. These are Tweedy Mattison 2 (their second sculpt of Matt Smith’s the
Doctor), Belle (Clara Oswald) and Ms Temple (Donna Noble). I am over the moon
about a figure of Clara Oswald is being made (sadly there looks like a
sculpting error due to badly placed knees), however I would have prefer Martha
Jones, Mickey Smith, older version Sarah Jane Smith or any of the Touchwood
team than Donna Noble. They should hopefully be out on the 1st of August. Anyway I plan on ordering these guys as soon as they are
out (more due me wanting a Clara Oswald figure) with the Time Lost
Investigators set (hope there might be a bundle deal) and may be the 7th
Voyage Cursed Creatures set as I want the harpy.
The
only OVA news from last week is that the survey is now up.
Before
I move onto the AJ Lee news from last week, let us talk about Money in the
Bank, well the results anyway as I have not seen this pay per view. WWE Tag
Team Champions Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns of the shield defeated The Usos
sadly as I expected. Ryback defead Chris Jericho. The fantastic, awesome,
divine, black widow Divas Champion AJ Lee kicked “HUlK SMASH” Kaitlyn’s butt to
retain the championship.
Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel defeat The Miz. Damien Sandow won
the World Heavyweight Championship Contract Money in the Bank Ladder Match by
backstabbing his now former tag team partner Cody Rhodes. Randy Orton won the
Money in the Bank All-Stars Match for the WWE Championship Contract, which CM
Punk was about to win until Paul Heyman back stabbed him. World Heavyweight
Champion Alberto Del Rio defeat Dolph Ziggler by disqualification. OK let us
talk a little more about this match. During the match AJ came out with her
music playing. She wanted to be by her boyfriend’s side. Dolph was distracted
and told her to go back to the locker room as he wanted to do this by himself.
Del Rio used the distraction to get the up hand on Dolph. AJ panicked as Dolph
was now losing to Del Rio. So she clobbered Del Rio with the Divas Championship
ever forgetting the ref was in sight or that it was not a No Disqualification
match. She was only trying to help. Lastly WWE Champion John Cena defeat Mark
Henry.
Now
for what AJ Lee has been up to this past week. The new GM of Raw, Brad Maddox,
gave Dolph another rematch against Del Rio. Backstage before the match AJ tried
her best to apologise to Dolph for what happened last night on Money in the
Bank, but just Dolph dumped her. The match between Dolph and Del Rio was a good
and long match. Dolph was winning. He pinned Del Rio, but before the Ref could
count to three the ring bell went. Was it time being called on the match? Nope
there was no time limit. Did the Ref call the match? Nope he was confused why
it went like everyone else. Was Vince McMahon trying to get one over his son in
law, Triple H? Nope! It was divine interaction. The Geek Goddess herself did
it. (For those who do not know, I am talking about AJ). Del Rio used the
confusion to recover and then win the match. After the match was over and when
Dolph was distracted by AJ, Big E attacked him. Dolph was knocked unconscious
down in the middle of the ring. 
AJ
briefly appeared on Smackdown last week too. Her and Big E were watching from
backstage Dolph’s match against his former friend and team mate back when
Vickie Guerrero was his manager, Jack Swagger. Dolph won the match and the jerk
said he regretted not dumping poor AJ sooner. AJ was upset by the comments and
started beating up a bunch of chars in an emotional rage. Big E was a gentleman
and by the look of it the only one in the WWE) and tried calming her down.
After AJ beating him up, Big E manage to calm her down and give her a kiss on
the forehead. (Big E is properly doing what any male AJ fan would want to do,
protect her.) There will be hell to pay Dolph for upsetting the all mighty Geek
Goddess and Big E will be her weapon of mass destruction. Oh and on another
note, Vickie was made GM of Smackdown, replacing both Booker T and Teddy Long.
Vince McMahon must really hate the WWE fans.
