Neoscream's Life: 23rd to 29th November 2015

Welcome everyone to another the Neoscream's Life post. This is my weekly post of life, what games I have been playing, what I have been painting and what I have watching and reading. The current opening pictures are of Cardfight Vanguard clans. This week is Megacolony from the Zoo nation.

"Life"

After work on Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK like normal. This time I was playing Kingdom Death Monster with Bob, Michael and Will. Will and Michael decided to hunt the level one Screaming Antelope. Bob was not around when we were deciding and did try to point them to the White Lion, but Will and Michael wanted to fight something new. However we draw the Screaming Antelope hunt event that replaces it with a White Lion one a higher level. So instead of a level one Screaming Antelope we faced a level two White Lion that exploded are heads. We did do almost remove two thirds of its AI cards. With out the resources from the hurt their was hardly any upkeep during the Settlement phase. Even the event only effected the returning survivors which there was none.

On Friday night I went down to Simon's with Richard. We had a couple of games of Munchkin I lost the first game badly and I managed to pull of a win out of nowhere on the second game from being behind for most of the game. It was great seeing Simon. Wish Darren H could have made it.

"Loot Crate"

They have started another crate service. This time is Pet Crate. Geeky crate for the pets of geeks. However by the sound of things it is many aimed at dogs than any other level. I have a feeling that AJ Lee Brooks will be signing up for that.

"Cardfight Vanguard Tournament"

On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfigh
t Vanguard Tournament. It was extreme format, so I used my Genesis deck with a bunch of Strides from other clans, which I ended up mainly using "Meteokaiser, Vic-Ten" from Nova Grappler. I did not do too well, however I had fun and got some trades in that should improve my Nova Grappler deck. Oh and a I won a Love Live deck box which I am now using as the deck box for my Angel Feather deck, as due to being double sleeved my Genesis deck will not fit.

"Painting and Converting"

For this post I have for you all Koba, Hitch and Viktor from Arcadia Quest.

On Friday's post I should have for you all Pluck from Arcadia Quest and both versions of James from Zombicide. During the week I managed to finish paining two Zombie figures. Below is an image of my painting table at the end of last Sunday night or the start of Monday morning.

Neoscream's Life: Christmas Week 2014

Koromaru from Persona 3

Welcome to the Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of some of the things I have done during last week and news on the great Geek Goddess, AJ.

“Life”

On Monday I went to the cinema to watch the new Hobbit movie with Darren H, Richard and Roxy. Also before it me, Richard and Roxy also had dinner out beforehand at Revs. It was a great night out with my friend.

Work felt very uncomfortable during the start of the week due to the stuff that happened last week. But Christmas Eve was a real good day, I will not go into details way. OK, I could name several things that would have made the day even better, however it was still a great day. I wish that there were more days like that. Friday felt like there was still a lot of tension, but the weekend was better most of the time. At a guess I just found a way to avoid it. The only real problem on Sunday was that it felt that there was no me in team. Most people helped everyone else out than me and when I try to help people out (especially ones I class as friends) and they do not want my help (even when management tell me to help them). It was really getting annoying. I will leave it as that as if I go on I might be going into too much details and take too much time writing it.

Matis from Persona 3

I do feel a little disappointed with my co-workers on top of all this. I got all of them Christmas cards and gifts and only the Area Manager got my something. I know not all of them celebrate Christmas and I was not expecting much, but not even a single card from anyone did felt a bit hurtful (on top of a couple other things that I will not be covering).

Like normal I sent Christmas day watching TV with my parents, however I did also work on blog posts too. Like the Christmas day post, Friday's "Gaming News from Neoscream" post and this post too.

I will be changing the ending of my posts from the start of the New Year like I do every year. Here is a little history of the ending. In 2010 it was “Until next time enjoy”, in 2011 it was “Until next time, have fun”, in 2012 it was “Until next time, Mecha up”, in 2013 it was “Until next time, Armour Up” and in 2014 it is currently “Until next time, Keep Rolling”. What will it be in 2015? Excelsior! No that is the comic book God Stan Lee. Ummmm!!! I will have to do some thinking.

"AJ and the WWE"

Sadly there was no AJ the previous week and last week. She is most likely spending the holiday time with her husband CM Puck, getting him ready for UFC next week. I have a strong feeling there will be no AJ this week too.

“Watch, Listen and Read”

Gaming News from Neoscream: Boxing Day 2014

Welcome to “Gaming News from Neoscream”. This is my weekly gaming news post for miniature games, RPGs, some card games and computer games. I hope everybody had a Merry Christmas.

“Gaming News”

First off is the Privateer Press news. They have release a list of new releases for March which will be a quite month for them The releases will be Iron Kingdoms Unleashed Roleplaying Game Adventure Kit, the Warmachine All-in-One Army Box for Protectorate of Menoth, a redo of the Khador Unit Kossite Woodsmen, the Hordes All-in-One Army Box for Legion of Everblight; the Minion Gatorman Battle Engine Sacral Vault and issue 59 of No Quarter.

With Tactics new, they have now added a Warcaster and three Warjacks have been added the Mercenary. This has made it possible to use a pure Mercenary force in the game now.

Xmas Special Pinup Twilight Knight

Next is the new version Paranoia news. Playtest rules in PDF format is being sent out to backers at the right pledge levels.

Now for the Kingdom Death news. On Christmas Eve, they have added three new products to the store and restocked on three old productions on their web store. The new ones are Xmas Special Pinup Twilight Knight (unlimited stock until the end of the year), a set of Warlords (one Female, one Male) and Flower Witch (sold out). And the restock were Twilight Order Knight, Twilight Relic Knight and Deserter. The Xmas Special Pinup Twilight Knight comes with stuff to be used in Monster. It is a new piece of equipment called Axmas. I do plan on getting this.

The Retail version of Shark from Guild Ball

Next is the Guild Ball news. OK, I have been a bit bad with reporting about Guild Ball, but here is an update. They have posted CAD images of a couple of retail versions of Captains and a couple of the extra players that are not in the team sets. They have sculpted about 99% of the figures. However I have a strong feeling that they will not get everything done by January 2015.

Now for the Battle System news. They have revealed the Sci-Fi version of their Star Dimensional Gate from their Fantasy Dungeon KickStarter. I am so glad that I have ordered a set of them.

The Sci-Fi Dimensional Gate from Battle System

Next is the Mantic news. The pledge managers for both Kings of War Second Edition and Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King’s Quest should be up online in the start of the New Year. Also about two thirds of Deadzone wave three has been shipped.

Now for the Yashima: Legend of the Kami Master news. Most of the stuff for the main box set is in production, however the extra stuff are taking longer than planned. They might have to push the shipment date or slit the shipment into two waves.

Next is the OVA news. Sadly the book is being delayed by the printers. So they are taking the time to make some changes like some layout adjustments, additional examples, text tweaks, and updates to several characters.

Now for the HeroClix news. Well no real news, I just wanted to say that sadly this year WizKids have not done the twelve days of ClixMas. It was always a great thing to see up and coming HeroClix and Dice Masters products.

Oh, there is a Yu-Gi-Oh contest happening on there websate to win the whole of wave two of the HeroClix stuff, a ton of DVDs and a Blu-Ray. Sadly it it OWN open to people living in the USA.

Lastly for a bit of other gaming related news. If you had not checked the "KickStarter Dates" section last week, Bubblegum Crisis Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray Set had started shipping. On Monday of this week, I received my copy. Why do I have this under gaming while it is Anime based news? Because in comes with ta PDF copy of the old RPG version on the discs too.

Neoscream's Life: 15th to 21st December 2014

Shinjiro Aragaki from Persona 3

Welcome to the Neoscream's Life post. This is a weekly post of some of the things I have done during last week and news on the great Geek Goddess, AJ. I am doing two Persona 3 characters this week and next week as opening pictures to get them all out of the way. What will I replace them with and what will be the new ending phase with next year, I have not decided yet (and barely have any ideas). 

“Life”

(I will reply this one more time) I would like to make this statement first before going into things. PEOPLE! If you are going to make judgement about the post(s), READ the post properly FIRST. I am saying this as in the post from five weeks ago, I talked about a nightmare that I had. I clearly stated it was a nightmare, however people I know for work only read parts of it, not the whole thing and were saying I was bitching about people and talking about things happening at work. I was just saying what happened in a nightmare, not what happen in work or bad mouthing anybody. I have always tried to do my best to not to going into detail on what happens at work and I rarely bad mouth people, and when I do I do my best not to use names (unless it has to do with the WWE, beeping Bella Twins). So PLEASE READ the whole thing before making judgements.

Ken Amada 

This past week I have been busy with Christmas again. I got all the wrapped, done cards written and most of them give out, apart from several work colleagues, Jake's main gift and Simon and his family.

For most of the week work was OK, apart from the news for the Sunday before I heard on Monday (which I talked about on last week’s post) and a minor thing that happened on Friday that I will not going into. There was a VERY last moment Christmas dinner on Monday (the second Christmas celebration the store has had in all the time I have been working there). It was being planned for at least a couple of week. But as of the Sunday before there was still no date or time. Then at about 4PM on Monday, they reviled that they will be doing the dinner on that day at about 8/8:30PM. Four hours noticed. At first I did not want to go as I had made other plans and because of what I learnt about what happened Sunday. However I did change my mind as it was Christmas and that it was the second ever Christmas celebration during all the years I have been working there. However due to communication problem I ended up not go I sticking to my original plans, going to Wargames Workshop MK. By the sound of things the turnout was poor and in was not much fun.

However on Sunday several things happened what really pissed me off. People being stupid, bullying and people thinking that they are above the rules. Over than what I said I will not be going into any more details sadly, however I will be have words with the manager when they are back from sickness.

On Friday I meet up with a bunch of my mate for some drinks before Christmas. There was a huge turnout and it was really good seeing everybody before Christmas, even Roxy. But sadly the person who was organising it could not come as their work place changed there hours.

"WWE TLC and Stairs"

Here are the results of this year's WWE TLC pay-per-view:

The New Day members Big E and Kofi Kingston defeated Gold and Stardust in a tag team match.

Dolph Ziggler defeated WWE Intercontinental Championship Luke Harper in a Ladder match to become the new WWE Intercontinental Championship.

The Usos defeated the Tag Team Champions The Miz and Damien Mizdow by disqualification in a Tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Sadly as it was by disqualification the titles never changed hands.

The Big Show defeated Erick Rowan in a Steel Stairs match.

John Cena defeated Seth Rollins in a Tables match. Had Cena lost the match, he would have no longer been the number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. There was a ton of interference in this match. J and J Security and the Big Show were helping Seth, however a returning ex friend of Seth's came out to destroy Seth's plan on winning.

The fake WWE Diva's Champion Nikki Bella defeated AJ Lee in a Singles match for the WWE Divas Championship. Brie Bella tried to Interfere, but the Ref noticed. However while the Ref was busy with kicking her out from ringside, Nikki pulled out what looks like a small can of hair spray and sprayed it into AJ’s eye. This lowdown move cost AJ the match.

Ryback defeated Kane in a Chairs match

The WWE United States Champion Rusev defeated Jack Swagger again by knockout in a Singles match for the WWE United States Championship.

That Arkham escapee Bray Wyatt somehow defeated Dean Ambrose in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.

"AJ and the WWE"

Sadly I have not had the chance to which ever Raw or Smackdown last week. So I will have to leave a write up of what AJ did on them until next week. However it looks like she was not on them at all this week. She maybe still having her eyes wash out due to what that bitch Nikki did on TLC.
