The Invasion Begins |
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, the
Geek Goddess AJ Lee and ROBOTECH RPG TACTICS.
Monday was
my birthday and was eventful. I went food ship with my mum. Go birthday wishes
from friends, work colleges, ex-work colleges, the MFC model CandyWhisper and
the deviant KittyStar. I also found that my Twitter account got suspended
during the latter half of the week before. I managed to get it unsuspended, but
it has been very buggy, many on my phone apps.
Coming back
to work on Tuesday was a big shock. We now do Smoothies and Frappés, and we now
have a new Boiler to cook the meat with. Also one of our Supervisors got a new
job during the work and has left us at the end of the week.
On Friday
night Simon and Lucy were in Milton Keynes celebrating Simons 30th,
which was of Tuesday. The plan was to meet at Colette at about 8pm before
heading out to bars and clubs. Due to work and transport I had to leave at
about 10:20pm to catch the bus home. When I left they were all still at
Colette’s, but were planning on leaving to a bar very soon. There was a good
turnout (sadly on Jake) and it was great seeing everybody.
Now for the
Mantic news. I forgot to state last week that Mantic’s estimated plan for shipping the second shipment of DreadBall KickStarter stuff over ran by a week. Also there have been several mistakes done. For example, my extra Robot teams and others have been getting two Anne-Marie Helder, BUT everybody who got Z’zor a second guard instead of a fifth Jack. Mantic have stated that they will be sending the missing Z’zor Jack to people in the third shipment. For leagues and tournament, Mantic have posted alternate starter teams based on the mistake. These rules can be found on their forums and will be discontinued on the 1st
of December of this year. Next month will be the start of the Summer of Kings
of War, Mantic’s fantasy army game. This is where they be released the new
stuff they had made from their Kings of War KickStarter from last year. Also
Mantic as teamed up with Topps (former owners of Wizkidz) to produces a Mars
Attacks wargame that will come out next year. I bet their will be a KickStarter
for it. Oh and Monday just gone was the third League event of the DreadBall
league I am in. I will report about it next week. With the Deadzone
KickStarter, during the week the extra goals that were unlocked were: the
Fortified Defence Line BattleZone; a Chovar Mercenary; two new Faction Starters
who are the Asterian and the Forge Fathers which you can get your choose of one
in the Striker pledge level for free; and an additional Building Sprue has been
added to each BattleZone. Also the active goals for the Deadzone KickStarter
when I went to bed on Sunday night were: Doctor Gayle Simmonds special
character added to Recon level and above (not including terrain only levels) at
$520,000; free digital copy of the Deadzone Short Story Compilation with every
pledge; and a new scenario to the Nexus Psi Digital Campaign for every 500
backers.
Next is
Crooked Dice Games news. There was nothing this week sadly. There has not been
a May newsletter yet, ever.
Now for the
RoboTech: RPG Tactics news. Well the KickStarter has just ended and in the last
week and Monday of this we have manage to unlocked: the Queadluun-Raus as an
add-on plus an Experimental Upgrade Kit; Miriya’s Queadluun-Rau in the Battle
Cry level; two more Artillery Battlepods have be added to Battle Cry level; the
VEF-1 and VF-1D Valkyies as an add on plus the ability to upgrade one of them
to a Super Valkyie; the Armoured Valkyries as an add on plus they were doubled
in number from two to four; decal sheets added to the Starter Set; and three
Nousjadeul-Ger have been added to Battle Cry level; Zentraedi Light Infantry
have be included with the Heavy Infantry add on making six of each; SF-3A
Lancer II as an add on plus they were doubled in number from two to four; all
Valkyries now include a R type head as well; two objective packs as add ons;
the Glaug-Eldare as two different add ons; two Super Valkyrie was added to
Battle Cry level; new high end pledge levels which makings me wish I had $5,000
to spent on one; three Queadluun-Raus have been added to the Battle Cry level
to celebrate hitting $1m plus an Experimental Upgrade Kit; the QF-3000E Ghost
drone fighters as an add on plus they were doubled in number from two to four;
Command Points tokens have be added to the starter set; resin bases based on the
SDF-1 flight deck as an add on; a resin 70-80mm tall SDF-1 as a KickStarter and
convention exclusive add on; command upgrade parts added to the standard
Destroids Sprue; two SF-3A Lancer II were added to Battle Cry level; the
Quel-Gulnau Recovery Pod was added to the Starter set and Battle Cry level (basically
Battle Cry level will have two of these as it will be part of the Zentraedi
Battlepod command sprue); the VF-4 Valkyies as an add on; the VF Orguss
Valkyrie as an add on; two QF-3000E Ghost drone fighters were added to Battle
Cry; the Artillery Battlepod add ons now included an upgrade kit to make
Experimental Heavy Particle Cannon Variants; the Spartan pack add ons now
include an upgrade kit to make an
experimental Phalanxes. I decided to include the stuff from Monday and very
early Tuesday morning as when I first started writing this post I thought is
ended Sunday and it would be easier to post as well. The last eight days of the
KickStarter was epic. It has beaten DreadBall, Kings of Wars and Loka all put
together. It has made Deadzone look crap, even though it is doing well. At the
end the Robotech RPG Tactics made $1,442,312 and had 5,342 backers. Sadly the
goals we did not do by the end of the KickStarter were: the Artillery Battlepod
Experimental Upgrade Kit would have been included in Battle Cry level at
$1.455m; an experimental NousJadeul-Ger would have been added to the add on at
$1.48m and to Battle Cry level at $1.525m; the experimental Phalanx upgrade kit
would have been added to Battle Cry level at $1.5m; and two VF-4 Valkyries
would have been added to Battle Cry at $1.6m. The only one I really upset about
is missing the VF-4 Valkyries from the Battle Cry level.
So in
December I should be getting in my Battle Cry level shipment: nine standard
VF-1A/J/R/S Valkyies in all three modes, Rick Hunter’s Valkyie in all three
modes, Roy Fokker’s Valkyie in all three modes, twenty-four Regult Battlepods,
two Glaug Battlepods, Khyron’s Glaug Battlepods, eight Destroids, two Quel
Regult Battlepods, four Artillery Battlepods, three Gnerl Fighters, three
Nousjadeul-Ger, two Super Valkyie in all three modes, three Queadluun-Raus, Miriya’s
Queadluun-Rau, two SF-3A Lancer II, two Quel-Gulnau Recovery Pods, an
Experimental Upgrade Kit for the Queadluun-Raus, two QF-3000E Ghost drone
fighters, Laminated Cards for all the units, a softcover Rulebook, an Art
Print, twelve UEDF faction dice, twelve Zentraedi faction dice, an Artillery
Template, a UEDF decal sheet, a Zentraedi decal sheet, ten UEDF faction Command
Point tokens and ten Zentraedi faction Command Point Tokens. That is about £1.20
a figure including postage. I also up my pledged to include the Mk II Monster,
Objective Pack One and the SDF-1. I might also add the Armoured Valkyies and
extra UEDF faction Command Point tokens during the survey. I might also buy a
pack of VF-4s to paint one red and make its gun more guitar like and maybe alt
the head to be more human like (Macross 7 all the way).
Now for what
AJ Lee has been up to this past week. AJ was on Raw three times last week. The
first time was when Teddy Long had to make a decision over the triple threat
ladders match for Extreme Rules. The reason was because on Smackdown the week
before, Dolph Ziggler suffered a concussion at the foot of Jack Swagger and now
is not medically cleared to wrestle by Extreme Rules. Teddy decided to change
the match into a Number One Contender I Quiet match between Swagger and Alberto
Del Rio. The second time she was supporting Big E Langston in his match. His
opponent was chosen by the fans. Their chooses were Swagger or Del Rio and they
chose Swagger. Big E dominated the match, but lost by countout The third time
we saw AJ was in her match against Natalya where AJ revealed a new move, a
submission move she called the Black Widow. The style and name fits AJ
perfectly. Love the way the opponent has to tap her fantastic ass. AJ was not on Smackdown this week.
