Welcome to the new Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of
what games I have been playing, what I watch and news on the great
Geek Goddess, AJ, for the last time.
“Zombicide”
On
Monday I went down for some Zombicide. We played the first mission from the first
Compendium book, "Lost", three times. As it was an "Easy"
season one mission, I added Toxic Zombies and Zombie Dogs to the mix (as well
as Survivors from season two, dog companions, and Toxic City Mall equipment
cards). An Abomination appeared in the first building we opened. We lost. We
played it again without the Dog Zombies (and the non-English Toxic Zombie cards
that somehow made it to the deck. We ended up with an Abomination In the first
building again and we got swamped with Toxic Zombies. We lost again. We tried
again a third time, but without the Toxic Zombies. We got an Abomination again in
the first building. We did a lot better this time around, but we still lost.
Face Palm.
“Warmachine/Hordes Tournament”
On Saturday I went to Wargames Workshop MK for the second time
during the week. This time was for the Warmachine/Hordes Tournament. As I have
not been doing well with my Convergence, I decided to try a different faction
that I own. I have a bit of experience with Menoth, but I decide to use Cygnar
which I have never used before. My team was:
Captain Kara Sloan (-6 PC to Warjacks)
Squire - PC: 2
Cyclone Heavy Warjack - PC: 9
Defender Heavy Warjack - PC: 9
Lieutenant Allison Jakes - PC: 3
Ironclad Heavy Warjack - PC: 7
Stormsmith Stormcaller - PC: 1
Black 13th Gun Mage Strike Team - PC: 4
A six man Long Gunner Infantry unit - PC: 6
= 35
On the first round I was up against a Skorne army. I ended up
losing, but my opponent did give me some helpful tips at the end.
On the second round I was up against a Menoth army. Again I lost,
but I am starting to get more use to my force. It did not help that most of the
guys I killed came back to life. Beep! Beep! Beep! We then stopped for lunch.
The third round started after lunch and I was up against a Legion
army. It was a much closer game, however my opponent won. I would have won if I
did not fail to hit so much against the Warlock (and the hidden second Flurry
token. Beep! Beep! Beep!).
On the fourth round I was up against a Retribution army. Shock!
Horror! I won this game by assassinating his Warcaster. I think this was my
second tournament win for Warmachine. OMG.
Due to time we did not have a fifth round. I ended up at sixteenth
place out eighteen players. An improvement. I will give Cygnar another go in the
next tournament. But I will do some changes, like replacing the Long Gunner
Infantry with Arcane Tempest Gun Mages, drop Lieutenant Allison Jakes and the
Ironclad and add a Hunter light Warjack or two. I really enjoyed use a shooting
army.
"Wrestlemania 31"
Wow
want a show. OK, let us go with the results. Starting with the two preshow
matches.
First
we have the four way tag match for the WWE Tag Team titles. WWE Tag Team
Champions Tyson Kidd and Cesaro defeated The Usos, Los Matadores and The New
Day's Big E and Kofi Kingston.
He
second match was the second annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Big
Show won this thirty-man Battle Royal claming the prize he deserves. Damien
Mizdow did well as well, by dumping the dead weight, The Miz.
Now
we move on to the main show. The first match was the seven-man ladder match for
the WWE Intercontinental Championship. It involving the defending champion Bad
News Barrett and challengers Daniel Bryan, R-Truth, Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper,
Dolph Ziggler, and Stardust. Bryan won the match to claim his first
Intercontinental Championship.
The
second match a match between Seth Rollins and Randy Orton. Randy Orton won the
match be delievering s wicked RKO, which was given additional elevation as
Orton countered Rollins' Curb Stomp by flinging Rollins up into the air.
The
third match was a pinfall and submissions-only match between Sting and Triple
H. Both D-Generation X (Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, X-Pac and Shawn Michaels) and nWo
members (Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Hulk Hogan) interfered in the match. However Triple H won the match with the help
of a broken sledgehammer. Following the match, Triple H and Sting shook hands
in the ring.
The
fourth match was a Divas tag team match between the team of AJ Lee and Paige
and The Bella Twins. The Geek Goddess, AJ won the match for her team by locking
in the Black Widow to make the Diva’s Champion Nikki Bella to tap out.
The
fifth match was for the WWE United States Championship between defending
champion Rusev who was accompanied by his manager Lana and John Cena. Cena dealt
Rusev his first pinfall loss in WWE, to become the new WWE United States
Championship.
Now
normally (unless it involves AJ), I do not talk about the non-match but the
t-shirt calls out to for this to be bought up. The Authority (Triple H and
Stephanie McMahon) came to the ring to talk about how well the show was doing,
but then The Rock to come to the ring in but this head in. After a verbal
exchange, Stephanie insulted the Rock and slapped him across the face, taunting
that he would not retaliate because he dare not hit a woman. She told him to
leave the ring which he did, but then he brought UFC Women's Bantamweight
Champion Ronda Rousey (who was sitting in the front row) into the ring. After Ronda
let Stephanie know that she "owns every ring she is in" Rock attacked
Triple H and Ronda then threw both Stephanie and Triple H from the ring, first
teasing an armbar on Stephanie. This was awesome and Ronda’s t-shirt was
fantastic too. It was a Dragon Ball Z Vegeta “It’s over 9,000” t-shire. The
t-shirt and seeing her kick Stephanie’s butt makes her my third if not second
(sorry Paige) female wrestler.
The
sixth match was a singles match between the returning Undertaker and the Arkham
escapee Bray Wyatt. The Undertaker won the match. He look a lot healthier then
what he did the last time we saw him, Wrestlemania 30.
The
main event of the night was the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match
between defending champion Brock Lesnar who was accompanied by his manager Paul
Heyman and Roman Reigns. Lesnar deliver suplex after suplex onto Reigns. But he
just smiled and laughed them off. Oh and Reigns had beaten Lesnar’s face to a
bloody pulp. Lesnar then hit a fourth F-5 on Reigns, but was unable to follow
up due to fatigue and blood loss. While both men were down, the rat Seth
Rollins ran in from the back with his Money in the Bank briefcase and cashed in
his contract. The referee turning the singles match into a triple threat. Which
Rollins sadly won as he was up against two heavily warn out powerhouses who had
beaten the crap out of each other.
“AJ and the WWE”
On
Raw last week, AJ was in a six Diva tag match. It was her, Paige and Naomi
verses the Bellas twins and Natalya. Naomi won the match for her team by pinning
the Diva’s Champion Nikki Bella
If
you have not read Sunday’s “5th Anniversary” post, please do. As it
talks about AJ retiring. However I will reveal that this week’s Raw all we got
was a statement from the commentary team talking about her retiring. So sadly
this will be the last weekly “AJ and the WWE” section. If I hear any AJ news I
will do an “AJ News” section but I do not know how often it will be, if there
are any as AJ in VERY private with her life outside WWE.
“Painting and Converting”
For this post I have for you both version of Angry Mery and the
human version of Red Cap from Zombicide.
