Neoscream's Gamer life: 18th to 24th July 2016
Welcome everybody to another the "Neoscream's Gamer Life" post. This is my weekly post of life and gaming. This week's Kingdom Death opening pictures is the Gryphon.
On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a game of the Star Wars Imperial Assault. This time we were playing Biv Bodhrik's personal mission. Sadly we ended up losing on the last turn, however I was very close.
I have not done much Pokemon Go due to problem blog writing, parents being off work and room tidying. However I did go on a work with Liam and Crawford of Tuesday and I managed to get to level eighteen.
The internet is now back to normal, however the Ethernet ports do not seem to work. To cut down on cables and to be a quick fix my parents decided to got the wireless adapters for the Sky box and the Xbox 360.
Recently my parents have redecorating the house. Several weeks ago they got a bunch of new furniture for the living room and now last week we got a new bathroom fitted and my day painted their bedroom, the bathroom and the entrance way. Oh and removing the carpet and lino throughout the house apart from my room (and for unknown reasons the kitchen too) was take up as we are getting new carpet and lino at the beginning of August. Due to the amount of stuff in my room and needing somewhere to store stuff during the re-carpeting, my room is not getting redecorated or carpeted. My room will most likely be done next year. However due to the need to store stuff in my room, I have been tidying/sorting out my room so there would be room. I manage to get rid of another box of stuff as well as a bit of draw space. I just really need to do the mean work surfaces and the area at the bottom of my bed/behind my chair.
During the week I have had problems with my computer speaker this week. The day after (not on the day) a major power cut, the main speakers stopped working and sound is coming out of the tinny speaker of the monitor. I decided to leave working out what was the problem until I have done the work surfaces of my room. Then on Friday night I was getting set up for a game of L4D2 with my friends. I unplugged my speakers and plugged in my headphones like I normally do, However I the sound was still coming out of the monitor. I then plugged the headphones into the headphone port of the monitor, but still the sound was coming out of the monitor's speakers. As I was in a rush I decided to move the mic away from the computer and as close in me as possible. I later learnt that this was a bad move as it place the mic as it was where I rest my elbow while using my mouse. Sadly this was not the only little I had. As my surfaces still in a massive mess, I had to play with the keyboard on my lap. On top of that I was having connection problems with my keyboard. It was nothing new, however it was not this bad. Thought it was due to distance, so after having tons of problem moving around, I managed to cleared a space. However I was still having the problem and the keyboard was closer to the computer than it normally was. I tried changing batteries just in case that, even tho the low battery light was not on. At first it seemed to work, but it soon started to act up again making the game unplayable. On top of other bugs with Window I know I have to try and fix one day, I had to quite. The next day I picked up a new wireless keyboard and mouse and the new keyboard works great. Oh and I have fixed the speakers too. It was a simple software problem that never happened to me with this computer.
On Thursday I went down to York House for HeroClix. The scenario was "Ladies Night". 400 points, Female Characters Only. I ended up I ended up building an X-(wo)Men themed team who were:
Storm (003 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Emma Frost (005a Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 80
Kitty Pryde (023a Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 45
Rachel Summers (010 Marvel X-Men Day of Future Past) 76
Dazzler (008 Marvel Wolverine and the X-Men) 75
Jean Grey (017 Marvel Wolverine and the X-Men) 40
Nocturne (034 Marvel Super Nova) 35
=401 points
On the first round I was up against Darren S who was using a Lady Liberators team who were:
Wasp (008 Marvel Civil War event) 70
Scarlet Witch (055 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 75
Spider-Woman (055 Marvel Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD) 90
Invisible Woman (102 Marvel Marvel Chaos War) 80
Tigra (040 Marvel Civil War event) 80
=395 points
Like normal against Darren S, I lost. Also Michael won his game against his brother Adrian. On the second round I was up against Adrian who was also using an X-(wo)Men themed team who were:
Storm (003 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 50
Pixie (056 Marvel Uncanny X-Men) 75
White Phoenix Hope (103 Marvel Avengers versus X-Men) 175
Emma Frost (010 Marvel Avengers versus X-Men) 100
=400 points
I managed to win this game. Also Darren S won his game against Michael. On the third and final round I was up against Michael who was using a Femizons themed team who were:
Songbird (024 Marvel Civil War event) 70
Superia (032 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 140
Lyra (016 Marvel Incredible Hulk) 88
Thundra (012 Marvel Incredible Hulk) 88
=383 points
I am not sure I am right on what he used as I sadly never got a picture of his team. However I do know that the first two figures are correct. Also I forgot to note down the results. I have a feeling I won my game and Darren S won his game against Adrian, but I am not a hundred percent sure.
This week's scenario is 500 points, no figure over 500 points.
On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for a Cardfight Vanguard Tournament. I decided to go with my Nova Grappler deck as I have be using my Cosmic Heroes deck quite a lot lately. It was a Extreme format Tournament, meaning you can cross clans. Four timed rounds of best of three games followed by top four play off that are single game with no time limit. Draws are classed as a lost for both players. Due to the format I decided to swap the Nova Grappler G-Guardians for the new Dimensional Police ones.
On the first round I was up against a Pale Moon player. Sadly it ended up being a draw.
On the second round I was up against Jasper who was using an Oracle Think Tank deck. Sadly with one game win each and only like two minutes left we had to call it a draw. Afterwards we stopped for a lunch break.
On the third I was up against a Shadow Paladin deck. Sadly it ended up being a draw again.
On the fourth and final round before the top four cut off, I was up against Wai-Yin who was using a Pale Moon deck for the first time. I oddly managed to win this round quite quickly. Sadly with only one win I did not get into the top four.

Neoscream's Life: 11th to 17th of April 2016
Welcome everybody 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. There is no Kingdom Death opening pictures this week. This was done to make room for pictures from Salute 2016 as I decided to not do a Salute post.
"Life"
On Monday evening I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for another game of Kingdom Death Monster. This time Bob, Adrian and Michael turned up. We hunted down another level one White Lion. It was a slippery bugger, but we managed to kill it in the end without losing anyone or anyone suffering for any major injuries during the Hunt, Showdown or Settlement event. There was not any real Settlement phase other than the Settlement event (which was Dark Trader) as the Butcher turned up. Sadly we did not have the time to fight him on the day. So we have to wait until next time.On Friday my mum somehow accidentally reversed back into the shed, destroying it. Facepalm. By the look of things the content of the shed is OK, however we cannot safely get into it to double check things properly. Lucky her cat was fine.
On Saturday I went down to London for Salute. It was good time. I got to play a home made table top XCOM Enemy Within game, which was great and they should be e-mailing me the rules. Sweet. I always went ed to play XCOM as a miniatures game, it was the reason I brought the board game. Now I need some suitable alien miniatures.
I also picked up a couple of great bargains at the Troll Trader stand. Dungeon Saga for £30 instead of the £49.99 RRP and the Temple of the Dawn with bonus figures for Malifaux for £24 instead of £32.99 RRP without the bonus figure. Sweet and curse you Troll Trader for making me spend money. LOL.
The only problems I had was I sadly do not see any of the Beast of War crew or Bob all day. I wished at least one of my close friends, Richard, Darren H an Simon could come as it is quite lonely travelling and hang at the conversation on my own. Plus I wish I had more money to spend.After I got back to Milton Keynes and had dinner at home, I went to the Xscape for some bowling to celebrate a friends birthday. It was a good night.
On Sunday morning before work my mum gave me some terrible next. My Uncle (her brother) had sadly died on Saturday. It was sadly expected to happen. He had been fighting cancer for over a year now. At least he is not suffering any more. He will be missed.
"HeroClix"
On Thursday like normal I went to York House for HeroClix. The scenario this time was "Avengers Assemble". 500 points, must be a Avengers themed team (which includes things like West Cost Avengers). You cannot use characters from the Captain America Civil War film.
My time was:Echo (010 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 96 + Avengers Response Unit (ATA) 3 = 99
Firebird (011 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 105 + Avengers Response Unit (ATA) 3 = 108
Hellcat (012 Marvel Avengers Assemble) 73 + Avengers Response Unit (ATA) 3 = 76

Gaming with Neoscream: 20th July 2014
Welcome to “Gaming with Neoscream”. This is my
weekly gaming report and event write up post for miniature games, RPGs, card
games and computer games.
“This Week's Events”
On Monday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for
some Zombicide. We played mission nine (Might Makes Right) from Season One
three time sadly we last each time. But we the last game we were close. We were
using pure Season One rule to be ready for next month’s tournament, however
will did add the other survivors to it to bulk up the choses.
There was no HeroClix this week due to one the
brothers not being able to make it. However we did have a game of Zombicide. We
played mission six (Rescue Mission) from Prison Outbreak. It was a long game
with a ton of Abominations. We lost, like normal. We were use Prison Outbreak,
Toxic City, both dogs and the survivors and Zombies from Season One.
On Saturday I went down to Wargames Workshop MK for
this month’s Warmachine/Hordes tournament. Every one had to bring two tier
lists of at least tier two. We had fourteen players this time, but for
Warmachine/Hordes this was a low turnout.
In the first round I was up against Paul. He was
using Menoth force lead by Feora (Protector of the Flame) while I was using my
Maidens of Gears list. My Maidens of Gears list was a list I was not too happy,
but as we had to at least use both lists thought out the tournament I decided
to get it out of the way now. Sadly I lost, but I did not have high hopes for
this list in the first place.
The next round I was up against Ed. He was using a
Cygnar force with Haley leading it. From here on I was using my The Great
Machine list. Sadly Haley's Telekinesis screwed me over, however ever she did
have to waste focus on in as she kept on missing the first attempt at.
After a lunch break we started the third round and I
was up against Matt. He was using a fantastically painted Menoth force lead by Grand
Exemplar Kreoss. The fight was a tough one but Forge Master Syntherion did
stand his ground, however we ran out of time and he won by control points.
As the tournament had a clear winner after round
three, which was Paul, the tournament ended. I luckily did not get lost play
this time. This was due to losing to the tournament winner.
Afterwards was talking to Ian (the one who was
running the event) and I learnt that the Maintenance Phase and Control Phase are
not meant to be part of the timed turn. This will save me a lot of time in the
future as both Aurora’s and Syntherion’s have time eating effects during the Control
Phase.
With Persona 4 this week I have have not been
playing much. only just unlocked the Heaven dungeon. However I did great to
play some more Persona 4 Arena. I managed to complete the first half of Yu's
story line (which unlocked both Kanji's and Teddy's story lines) and complete
Kanji's story line (sadly I did not unlock any more story lines, but it was a
laugh a moment).
With the Let’s Play I made a major mistake in last
week’s post. By time I had posted it I had finished watching the Let’s Play,
but I forgot to update the post for what I wrote on the Saturday morning
before.
“Armies”

tournament.

Neoscream's Life: 30th June to 6th July 2014
![]() |
| She's Back |
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”
Several people I use to know have made a comeback. First there is
Marisa who I use to know from work. She is back at our store for two weeks,
however she is not getting along with the newer staff. Other is the girl who
workers at Starbucks I use to have a crush on. She has now finished her
university course and is back in Milton Keynes. Go and you cannot forget that AJ is BACK too.
“Money in the Bank”
Here are the results from this year’s Money in the Bank
pay-per-view. The Usos managed to defeated the Wyatt Family to retain their Tag
Team Champions titles. Baby sitter Paige defeated Naomi to retain the Divas
Championship for a day. Adam Rose defeated Paul Revere Damien Sandow cosplaying
as Paul Revere. In the Money in the Bank ladder match for the briefcase, Seth
Rollins managed to defeated Dean Ambrose, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler, Jack
Swagger and Kofi Kingston, with the help of Kane. The Dust Brothers, Goldust
and Stardust (Cody Rhodes), defeated Rybaxel. Rusev sadly defeated Big E by
submission. Layla defeated Summer Rae in a match were Fandango was the special
guest referee. And lastly in the Money in the Bank ladder match for the WWE World
Heavyweight Championship, John Cena manage to defeated Randy Orton, Roman
Reigns, Cesaro, Sheamus, Kane, Alberto Del Rio and Bray Wyatt. The next
pay-per-view will be Battleground.![]() |

"The Return of the Geek Goddess"
On the Raw after Money in the Bank, AJ made her glorious return.
Due to the fans, AJ got her rematch against Paige the babysitter of her baby.
AJ won her baby back, the WWE Divas Championship, to become a two times Divas
Champion. Also it looks like she has been doing the mic practice with her
husband. Raw also sure the return of two more former WWE Champions, the Miz and
Chris Jericho. Sadly there is no sign of AJ’s husband, CM Punk, making a return.
She was also on Smackdown where she had a very short match against
Eva Marie while Paige watched from ringside. AJ defeated Eva in just over a
minute.

| NZ-000 Queen Mansa |
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 Lee.
“Life”
On Saturday I went to Colette's Birthday BBQ. It was a very
enjoyable time, sadly there was no Darren H, Jake or Simon there.
Other then that i have been game. All the Persona 4 stuff for last
week was in Sunday's "Gaming with Neoscream" post. However I have
picked up Persona 4 Arena for £12 online. It is a beat 'em up game with the
cast of Persona 4, a bunch of Persona 3 characters and at least one new
character. Sadly Risa is not playable, but there is a new version of the game
called Persona 4 Ultimax coming out soon in USA and is out now in Japan. No
clue when it will come out in the UK, that is if we get it. In the new version
Rise will be a playable character.
“Painting and Converting”
This week we have Edge, a rebel Zee, a rebel TK-Zero Team, four
Crates, eight Crate lids, a Berserker Zombie Fatty and five Zombie Dogs.
