Neoscream's Life for the week of the 2nd to the 8th of April

MS-06 Zaku II

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new  to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last my mum finally got a tablet and I finally ordered the Trike and my mum finally got a tablet for herself, but what did last week bring. However, first I like to remind people the starting this week the opening pictures will be mobile suits from Gundam now instead of the Straw Hat Crew from One Piece.

On Monday I worked from 9:50AM to 2:20PM. In the evening I finished basing all the figures I own for MS wars that I could as I ran out of bases and I realised there is some things that are needing different bases too. After that I finished off tomorrow's Neoscream's Life post and I wrote up a 250 points Gruntz force which I could use to make two of the same forces to test the game at a later date. In it there is:

• A commander in large power armour.
• Three human Gruntz squads with two attachments each.
• One Dwarf Gruntz squad with no attachments.
• Two tanks.
• Three Mecha.
• And a Jeep.

I also looked up the results of Wrestlemania which I would like to talk about as I never had really talked about the wrestling. Congratulations to Sheamus for his quick victory against Daniel Bryan. 18 seconds should be the new chant from Daniel Bryan. Also congratulations to CM Puck and Big Show for shutting  up their opponents Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes. It was sad to hear that John Cena and Triple H lost there matches. And now chaos will rule the WWE as John Laurinaitis is in charge of both Raw and Smackdown thinks to that hoeski Eve.
Watched: Episode 25 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and episode 285 of the subtitled version of Bleach. 
Listened: Episode 313 of Anime Pulse and episode 57 of VG Pulse.

On Tuesday morning I posted last week's Neoscream's Life post. I worked from 9:50AM to 2:50PM. In the evening I ordered some more bits from Pendraken and post a video of the first four One Piece opening which are dubbed in English. The stuff I ordered from Pendraken was more bases (a pack of 15 mm round, a pack of 20mm round and a pack of 15mm by 20mm rectangle), a pack of officers to use as commanders instead of my power armour guys and some Dwarves with flame throwers as special weapons guys for the Dwarf squads. If this stuff arrives before I get time to test the game the forces I made might change.
Watched: Episode 10 of the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and this week’s episode of WWE Raw.
Listened: Episode 184 of Manga Pulse, Gundamn!@MAHQ Comic-Con 2009 Day Two Wrap-up! and episodes 72 and 73 (with Vic Mignogna) of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast.
Brought and Received: I orders volume 3 of the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 manga.

On Wednesday I worked from 9:50AM to 5PM without a lunch break. Just as I finished work I received a phone call from Richard about two things. To see if I would be interested on going out for drinks with him and Jake and the role-play is happening on Saturday evening. Sadly as I was tired and knew I would be too busy Thursday to write up the Two Year Blog Special I had to turn him down about drinks. This turned out to be a good move as my time table for Thursday morning got even more busyer, meaning I had to push more stuff into tonight as both my Trike and the robots from Russia arrived in the post. Sadly I was not aloud to open up the box the Trike arrived in until tomorrow morning. I spent the evening collecting up the HeroClix figures for tomorrows game and getting the Two Year Blog Special ready to post quickly tomorrow morning.
Listened: Episode 74 of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast.

On Thursday morning got up half an hour early so that I could posted the blog birthday special before I can get the Trike ready for using. Both my parents were off work today. As my dad was not ready to do it when I was due to the bloody cricket, so I started putting together some of the Astroid robots. until he was. However just before he was ready, my mum decided that we should at least get it unpacked while waiting for him. When he finally came out he ended up breaking th lock for the folding part of the Trike. After about half an hour he managed to fix it. He then attached the handle bars and adjusted the seat. With the Trike ready I tried it out round a near by park. The paths around it had lots of turns and slopes to help me get use to them as Milton Keynes is very hilly. Afterwards before I started work, we went to pick up some accessories like bike lights, pump and a crash helmets. The helmet was a hard thing to find as my head is very large. Yes (face palm), I have a big head. We could only find one helmet out of the two stores we visited. It was an XL size helmet, 60-66 inch. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. Work was super busy. I the evening I went to HeroClix like normal. When I got home there was a major update for Office Suite. It went from version 5 to version 6. Luckily it still works fine, unlike the update for the other office suite I use to use about six months ago. The only real difference in version 6 is that it is set up in pages, which is a good thing, but the default screen size for the text is quite some.
WLR: Nothing.

Friday morning I finished off and posted the MK HeroClix post and then I went food shopping with my mum who was off work as it was a bank holiday. Sadly I did not get time to practice on the Trike so I was hoping to do it after work. I worked from 12PM to 5PM. I bumped into Anup, the former head of organised play for WizKids UK back when Topps owned it. He seems to be doing OK. When I finished work, I could not get to practice on my trike as both my parents cars are blocking it as it is packed behind them. Sadly I will not get time to practice with it tomorrow as I will be too busy with coffee, work and role-play. I posted one of the openings to One Piece on the blog. I did not get a round to watching much as my internet was acting very slow.
Watched: Episode 200 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden and this week’s episode of The Gadget Geeks.

DO NOT BUY

On Saturday I had coffee with Darren and Richard. After coffee I we popped into Waterstones before I left for work. I noticed Waterstones had the Avengers Movie HeroClix Mini. I had a long thought about getting. The standard starter pack would be out in two weeks time, but looking at what the back of the box said only differences between it and the starter set was the fact that the mini game had four instead of six figure (the four are the same as figures in the starter), a board normal size map instead of a double side paper map (I forgot it had two double sided maps than the one in the Fast Forces) and the mini game was several pounds cheaper than the starter, oh and it was available now instead of in over two weeks time due to shipment speed from America. The full size board map pictured on the back of the box is what sold it to me. I worked from 12PM to 4:30PM. On the bus to Richard's for role-play I had a good look at the Mini Game and was super disappointed due to two major things. This first is the "Rulebook" the box listed it had was in fact a sheet of A5 paper with quick play rules with a web link to PDF version of the full HeroClix rules. It was not the fact that it was not the full rules that pissed me off, it was the fact that they state "Rulebook" while is was a sheet of A5 paper. The second thing, which is thae major let down which has pissed me off with WizKids, is the "Game Board" they listed and show a picture of a 2' by 3' map was in fact a 2' by 6" map. A huge case of miss advertisement. What is the point of this set when there is a good starter set coming out. If WizKids wanted to range out to the general public with HeroClix, give stores the start set is a box than this crap. It would had been better if the figures in the set had different dial to the standard starter. My advice to all players new and old, DO NOT GET THE BOX SET, want until the real starter is out and get that. Rant over. We finished of Pete's Cyberpunk game by failing the mission, but as we were up ageist a guy in power armour, we were doomed anyway. But We did survived that game. I Got knocked out with one hit like normal in this game and Nathan's character some how kept on fighting on for a long time until he finally was knocked out. Richard's character, the Solo run away like a chicken, which ended up saving our characters as that guy in the power armour had no reason to kill us. After that we had some time so we generated characters for Nathan's Star Wars game. I am going to be playing a Zygerrian Scoundrel.
Brought and Received: Volume 3 of the Mobile Suit Gundam 00 manga arrived in the post.

Sunday was a day off work. I did an update to the DreamClix Dial Designs page, as well as wrote and posted the Cosmic Cosplay post. I also got a lot more practice on my trike and finished off building the Astroid robots. Oh and my internet was acting up again, but this time I rebooted the hub and it is now working again.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 26th of March to the 1st of April

Brook from the time skip

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last I finally tried out the second of the two games Roxy lent me, but what did last week bring. This week is the last week of the One Piece opening pictures. From next week it will be replaced with mecha from Gundam.

On Monday I worked from 9:50AM to 2:30PM. In the evening I decided to posted last week's Neoscream's Life post early again as I had it ready and to save me from a mad rush to post it tomorrow morning. While checking things up on websites I found the there is a preview of Gruntz 15mm version 1.1 show the Gruntz Specialist. For these who do not know both Specialist and Artillery are being split into two, a Gruntz version and a Vehicle version. Super Dungeon Explore expansion have been revealed a bit with box images. By the look of things there will be a several small monster sets (some old some new), a deck of treasure cards, by the sound of things a box set of new Heroes and by the sound of things ever a large expansion pack with all the new stuff or a secondary box game which could be played without the first box set. Here is hoping for more healers.

On Tuesday I worked from 9:50AM to 12:20PM. When I was finishing work the manager gave me off Wednesday as work was dead both yesterday and today. As I was walking to the bus home I receive a text from Darren S saying that there will be no HeroClix this week as there is no Adrian. Looking at the Xbox Marketplace I spotted a couple of interesting things. Gotham City Impostors and Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition. Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition instead of being a full neciuses that causes peopleto by a a new game, it was just an upgrade that fixes any balance problems in characters and adds four new playable characters. The new characters were Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun and Yang. I decided to download the trial version of Gotham City Impostors to see how it plays like, but due to the size, it will take forever to download.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Raw.
Listened: Episodes 178 and 179 of Manga Pulse and episode 52 of VG Pulse.

Wednesday was a day off and my mum was of too. I updated the DreamClix page before doing anything. After that was done me and my mum went to the shopping Center MK. While there I got a new Xbox 360 game Super Street Fighter IV for £10 and a new shirt. My mum got a couple of new tops, a couple more bits for the living room and a eary birthday gift from me and dad. A 7.7 Galaxy Tab with 3G for £200. A massive bargain. OK it was second hand, but it was about half the piece of most 3G tablets. We had a ramen launch at Wagamama and then did the food shopping. While at the the shopping center I tried looking at all the stores that sold games for the first Mass Effect game. But nowhere had it, not even the second one. Beep! When I got home I finish downloading Gotham City Impostors and started downloading the upgrade pack to turn Super Street Fighter IV to Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. I tried playing Gotham City Impostors, but you need an update to play it. Beep! When the update to Arcade Edition to Street Fighter had finished downloading, I tried it out and found the tactic I use to with Sakura in the first Street Fighter 4 game no longer works due to the new game balance changes. Damn it.
Listened: Episode 41 of ClixCast, VG Pulse Special for day one of E3 2011 and episode 53 of VG Pulse.
Brought and Received: Brought Super Street Fight and picked up the Arcade Edition upgrade for it.

On Thursday morning the new Coffeetable finally arrived. It was not fully assembled like we were told. We had to attached the legs to the table. I worked from 12PM to 3:20PM. When I got home I posted DreamClix Special post as there was not HeroClix this week and two video posts. The first video is a teaser trailer for the Mass Effect animated movie and the second is a game play trailer for Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. I also orders three new t-shirts from Play.com's sells. One Transformers, one Avengers movie and one called "Made in the 80s". Oh and my mum gave me a printout the the new postage prices starting late April.

I worked from 12PM to 3:30PM. I was planning on re-basing my 12mm infantry on to individual bases instead of groups of four, but said I could not find my super glue to do it.

Also me and my mum finally looked around online for my birthday present and brought it. It was an adult Trike. We go a trike than a normal bike as due to my Dyspraxia, I do not have the balance for a normal bike. The bike should pay for it self it less than nine months for traveling from home to work and it should help me loss weight. Oh and I found and ordered the first Mass Effect game from Amazon. OK it is currently out of stock, but they will send it went it is back in stock.

Neoscream's Life for the week of the 19th to the 25th of March

Franky after the time skip

Welcome to another week of my life. Again as I had the time I posted this post a day early as I had the time. I might consider move the post to Mondays, but I leave that until next week to decided that. For those new  to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last my mum was off work sick and I finally tried out one of the games Roxy lent me, but what did last week bring.

On Monday I worked from 9:50AM to 4:30PM. In the evening I decided to posted last week's Neoscream's Life post early as I had it ready and to save me from a mad rush to post it tomorrow morning. After that I decided to check eBay from 15mm Sci-fi stuff as I was already on eBay looking for season five of Bleach and found a bunch of cheap stuff from Russia from a company called Tekhnolog. Their two main game of this scale were ZOD and Astroid. The main two sets I am looking on getting are 16 Astroid Mechs for £10.10 and 12 ZOD tanks for £15.15 with £3.79 postage and packaging on each of them. Sweet. Almost too good to be true.
Watched: Episodes 8 to 10 of GaoGaiGar and episode 7 of series two of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
Read: Chapter 9 of part 2 of Mobile Suit Gundam: École du Ciel.

On Tuesday morning I tried to to see if the company did any other stuff before deciding to order any now or a later date. I found a review on a blog called Dropship Horizon about their ZOD stuff. Here is the review. With the quality of the plastic I would have to say it was obvious by some of the pictures and price that they were cheap. However the scale of the Mecha and Tanks is a problem. It is not the seller fault as it is the company who made them who states they are 1:100 scale (15mm). Also ttthe legal problem with the infantry is a big problem. So I decided to avoid them, for now. I worked from 9:50AM to 7:40PM. Yes that is right, a ten hour shift. While at work I did some thinking about MS Wars and Gruntz 15mm. I decided to go back to 12mm as I already have a bunch of vehicles and infantry at 12mm already and I have found out the Heavy Gear and CAV are both 12mm (I alway fought they were 10mm or smaller. However I will still be using Gruntz 15mm, but convert the ranges to 12mm. It is easy to do on a spreadsheet as 15mm is 1:100 and 12mm is 1:144. So the range divided by 1.44. In with be using half inches to help balance the conversions. With this decision I decided to pick up a pack of 16 mecha from Astroid when I paid for the box set of season five of Bleach.
WLR: Nothing.
Brought and Received: Picked up on eBay series five of Bleach.

On Wednesday moring before work I tried out the other Xbox game Roxy lent me, Fable III. From what I have played so far all I can really say is that it is Fable (which is goos), but I have heard that the game heavily changes halfway into the game. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:20PM. In the evening I went out with Darren H and Richard for a meal and some drinks at Wetherspoon. Darren H introduced me to a smart phone game called Draw Something and we both introduced Richard to Tweeter.
WLR: Nothing.

Thursday was a day off work, so I update the DreamClix Dial Designs page. Both of my parents were off today too. However my dad had to pop out to do some work. He wanted to use his Sat Nav, but the map data would not load up, it kept on saying they were locked. I spent most of the day trying to fix it and downloading things for it which took forever with my internet speed. In the end my dad phoned the helpline and they guided us to a download that resets the data on the Sat Nav, which worked. Like normal in the evening I went to HeroClix.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Raw, this week’s episode Gadget Geeks, episode 281 of the subtitled version of Bleach and episodes 6 and 7 of Let's Play Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time.

On Friday morning I finished off and posted this week's HeroClix MK post before work. I worked from 12PM to 4:10PM. I did not do much after that apart from playing Fable 3.
Watched: Episode 8 of the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

On Saturday I had coffee with Darren, Richard and Collette. Richard was later as he lost track of time due to playing Minecraft. I worked from 12PM to 3:30PM. In the evening I finished of all the dial designs I needed for tomorrow and worked on tomorrow's Cosmic Cosplay post.

Neoscream's Life for the week of 12th of 18th of March

Sanji after the time skip

(pictures and WLR coming soon) Welcome to another week of my life. For those new  to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. Due to the fact that is ready now and to save time tomorrow morning I posted it now. The week before last I pick up the Gruntz 15mm, but what did last week being. But first I forgot to state last week that on Sunday I picked up a mother's day gift for my mum from Play.com. Also I like to say Congratulations to Ichigo from Anime Pulse as his wife has gave birth to their son.

This Monday morning I managed to get motivated enough to leave on time to catch the bus to work. Yes, no need to wash money on a taxi to get into work when I have a bus pass. On the way to work I received an e-mail from Play.com. Starting today there is a buy one get on free sell on Disney DVDs and Blu-Rays. Danm it! The gift I brought my mum was a Disney Blu-Ray, if only I wanted one extra day. I worked from 9:50AM to 2PM. Work was very quiet. After work I popped to Hobbycraft to see if they had any Flames of War infantry that I can use as in Gruntz 15mm as Flames of War is a 15mm game. Sadly I forgot they were getting rid of their Flames of War stuff. They only had an Artillery box set left the was about £20. As I was not looking to spend that much, I decided to not get it. However I did pick up a special scale ruler to check if things fit the scale and for any model making in the future. There use a phone called from my dad at about 10:30PM. There had just been another armed rubbery at his store. Crap. So he had to go off to work to deal with it.
Watched: Episode 22 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Listened: Episodes 27 and 28 of Gundamn!@MAHQ.

On Tuesday morning before work I finished off and posted last week's Neoscream's Life post. I worked from 9:50AM to 3PM. I phoned home to see my dad was home from work for a left as today was ment to be his day off work and he only went in at the morning due to the rubbery. However it was my mum who answered. She was off sick due to a nasty tummy bug. Dad was not home yet so I had to get a bus home, but as the doctor told my mum she could only have liquids for the next three days, so she wanted me to pick up some chicken soup and chocolate milk. I first tried the M&S Express at the train station, but the only Chicken soup they had was very chunky. So I had to go to Sainsbury's. When I got home my mum phoned my phone and he sad he would be doing closing as the closing staff will not be coming in today.

On Wednesday I worked from 9:50AM to 4PM. When I got home I got a phone call from Richard. He was going to be busy this weekend visiting some University friends so he will not be able to do coffee this Saturday. So we arranged to meet up for drinks later. When my dad got home I cooked the curry that was plan for yesterday for dinner today. Later in the evening I meet up with Richard at Wetherspoon. I get home about 10:15PM.

As he needs to get a mother's day gift, he would be at the Shopping Center anyway, so coffee was still on for the two of us. When I got home the Blu-Ray I ordered for my mum had arrived. As my mum was off sick for the rest of the week I decided to give her the Blu-Ray now as she was saying she had nothing to watch (I realised later she still have all eight Harry Potter film to re-watch). It was Lady and the Tramp, a classic Disney film with bleeping Siamese cats. Like normal in the evening I went to HeroClix.

Sunday was a day off work. I did an update to the DreamClix Dial Designs page and posted the Cosmic Cosplay post. Me and my mum were planing on going to the Shopping Center at first as she needed some new underwear, but she then decided to by them online so we never went. In the evening I posted the second opening to GaoGaiGar and finally gotten around to trying one of the two Xbox 360 games Roxy lent me back during Christmas, Vanquish. From what I played of the game, the graphics were great and the storyline even tho it was a little cheesy it was still very good. But being a first person shooter I have problems with it due my lack of coordination and multitasking. The AR mode was a pain to use with my coordination. To activate it you need to do an evade action so you cannot roughly aim the gun before entering AR mode and then by time I switch my fingers the to aim and aim the gun at the target the suit overheats. I might try playing a bit more but it is a game I would not spend money on. Please note I am not saying the game play is crap, I am just saying my Dyspraxia gets in the way with the game. I prefer auto targeting than manual.

The week before was a party at testing Dungeons and Dragons Online, version 1.2 of Minecraft was released and I discovered a new gaming system to base MS Wars on, Gruntz 15mm, but what did last week being.

Monday morning for some reason again I was running late and had to get a taxi into work, damn it. I worked from 9:50AM to 3:30PM. When I got home I manly worked on last week's Neoscream's Log post as I was behind in writing it up.

On Tuesday morning before work I finished off and posted last week's Neoscream's Life post. I also brought/downloaded the Gruntz 15mm rules. I worked from 9:50AM to 3PM. All day I was reading the rules and looking a mecha that will fit 15mm games. The rules seemed quite easy, but there was one major problem, currently there are no melee weapons for mecha. Beep. I need to check if there are any planned for version 1.1 of the rules. Need to remember to look at the Gruntz 15mm forums. With mecha, I am looking for humanoid mecha like in Gundam and Code Geass. Battletech mecha is a little too small for 15mm and most of it does not fit into what I am looking for. Some of the CAV mecha look great but I have a feeling the might be a bit too small for 15mm mecha, need to see pictures against 15mm figures to decided. Heavy Gear mecha is perfect in style, but again a little too small for man piloted mecha. However I found some fantastic mecha from Micropanzer called Russian Heavy Combat Armour. I really need to save up for them. It is £39 for 5 or £65 for 10 or (until the 15th) £95 for 20.

A team of five Russian Heavy Combat Armours behind 15mm infantry

On Wednesday morning I had a nightmare redoing teams for tomorrow's HeroClix. I made two teams on ever Monday or Tuesday and forgot the Modern Age restriction. The two teams I was originally going to go for were Heroes for Hire and DC Detectives team with Batman and Rorschach. It took all my free time in the morning to build them. After doing that I felt sick with HeroClix. I felt like giving it up or at least putting it on peause for a week. I worked from 9:50AM to 4PM. Before I finished work I had to go to Staples for a new laserjet toner for work. When I asked a member of staff for a toner for a HP P1005, he give me a toner for a HP 1005, which was the wrong one. So I had to go back to get in exchanged for the right one. I do not blame the staff for this muck up, just HP for bad numbering on printers, 1005 and P1005 can be confusing with hundreds of different printers out there with different toners for each one of them. After work I was over the massive downer I had with HeroClix. My mum was out night to have dinner and a chat with a friend of hers. Before she left me and my dad had to throw out the old furniture we were getting read for the new stuff coming tomorrow. In the evening Blaire was online

Mobile Suit Gundam: École du Ciel

On Thursday morning before work, I helped my mum give the living room a good hover up before the new furniture arrived. Oh the new furniture we are getting are a new armchair and a two seater sofa. Sorry been forgetting to say what they were. My parents are also considering on getting a new coffeetable or at least a footstool. I worked from 12PM to 4PM. When I got home, the new furniture had arrived. Like normal, in the evening I went to HeroClix. Even tho I lost all five games, I had fun and that is all that counts.
WLR: Nothing.

On Friday morning I finished off and posted this week's HeroClix MK post before work. I worked from 12PM to 4PM. Nothing really happened to blog about after that, apart from Ming, my mum's Siemens, is not liking the new sofa and is clawing it. It is bad enough that he has been clawing my coat, but now the furniture. Dad is going to kill him if he keeps it up.

Neoscream's Life for the week of 27th of February to the 4th of March

Chopper after the time skip

Welcome to another week of my life. For those new to the blog, the "Neoscream's Life" posts are basically a weekly dairy of mine. The week before last was role-play and work not making there up their minds about If I was off work or not on Thursday, but what did last week being.

On Monday morning for some reason I was running late and had to get a taxi into work. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:15PM. In the evening I installed Dungeons and Dragons Online and was planning to try it out, however in between Richard downloading it and me installing it there was a major update. It took forever to download and I do not get around to trying it out.
Watched: Episode 20 of Mobile Suit Gundam AGE.
Listened: Episode 311 of Anime Pulse.
Read: Chapter 38 to 43 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist and finished chapter 10 of Dragon Ball Multiverse.
Brought and Received: Got volume 5 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist manga in the post.

On Tuesday morning before work I finished off and posted last week's Neoscream's Life post with another teaser dial from the Excel Template. I worked from 9:50AM to 4:45PM. In the evening I did not do much to write about (or at least remember as I wrote Tuesday's post on Friday).
Watched: Part of this week’s episode of WWE Raw and episodes 213 to 215 of the dubbed version of Naruto.

On Wednesday I worked from 9:50AM to 12:30PM. I receive a phone call on my phone on my way home while listening to music on my Bluetooth headphones. This time I decided to do things different. Instead of turning of the headphones before answering, I answered the call and held the microphone part of my phone up to my mouth. I seemed to work by the audio quality was bad, however this could be due to reception than the headphones. When I got home I finally got round to trying out Dungeons and Dragons Online. It feels like a console role-play game with the MMORPG part tagged on. Compared to Star Trek Online the real money store, the C-Store, Dungeons and Dragons Online store is very expensive. In Star Trek Online extra races cost about £5, while in Dungeons and Dragons Online is about £10 for extra races or classes.
Watched: The rest of this week’s episode of WWE Raw.

On Thursday morning before work, there was an automatic phone call saying there was an alarm going off in the store he runs. I tried phoning my dad who was there working, but the phone was constantly engaged. OK this was worrying. I let my mum know what happened just before going to work. She was off work today, but was away food shopping when I got the phone called. I worked from 12PM to 3PM. When I got home I asked my mum what happened. After ages to trying to contact my dad, she finally got to him. The alarm was one of the freezers had stopped work. Why the company phoned us he does not know, but I better it was because his phone line was constantly engaged. Before going to HeroClix I found out that Minecraft was updated today. Sweet. I posted a trialer for the update on my blog. Blaire was online when I got back from HeroClix, but I was too busy writing up HeroClix to pop on to say hi.
Watched: Episode 197 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden.

Currently the only Gruntz 15mm made figure

On Friday morning I finished off any minor bits I do not do last night and posted this week's HeroClix MK post before work. I worked from 12PM to 4PM. In the evening I did not do much to write about (or at least remember as I wrote Tuesday's post on Monday).
Watched: This week’s episode of Gadget Geeks.
Read: Chapter 44 of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist and chapter 5 of Battle Angel Alita.

Like normal on Saturday I went to coffee with Darren H and Richard. We chatted about stuff like normal and popped into the bookshop before going to work. Sadly there will be no coffee next  I worked from 12PM to 5:15PM. In the evening I mainly worked on dial designs and tomorrows Cosmic Cosplay post.
Watched: This week’s episode of WWE Smackdown and episode 198 of the subtitled version of Naruto: Shippuden.
Listened: Episode 43 of VG Pulse.

Sunday was a day off work. I help my mum spring clean and rearrange the living room as we got some new furniture come any time from next week. I did a double update to the DreamClix Dial Designs page and posted the Cosmic Cosplay post forgetting to talk about testing the game. Before going to bed I was seeing if there has been any news about the expansion to Super Dungeon Explorer. Sadly there was no new next on the expansion, but I do found out that it won second place of the TGN Readers Choice Award for new game or expansion category. I decided to find out what won it. The game that won was Gruntz 15mm. It is a fast play 15mm Sci-fi wargame, designed for skirmish level play. It is based around generic platoon level battle that is not restricted to set genre or background setting. As it is a generic rules set than I might use these rules as a bases for Mobius SRACU Wars, and build a campaign system for the game. This means most of the 12mm (1:144 scale) stuff I picked up will be useless, but I think the dwarves I picked up ages ago might fit in better in 15mm. For those Gundam kit fans, 15mm is about 1:100 scale so the model kits of that scale will fit. 15mm is very common which will make finding thing to use easier, as 12mm was rare for things like infantry.
Watched: Episode 216 of the dubbed version of Naruto.
