S03E22 - Daddy, When I Grow Up, I Want to be Just Like Games Workshop

So how have things been for the gaming industry this year? Jerry and I look back at the pat 12 months and discuss what Games Workshop, Privateer Press, Topps, and the NECA is up to. Plus we take our guess as to what games will fail in the next year.

Some of the topics include:
Changes to the GW Stores
GW Stores vs Independent Stores
WARMACHINE MK II
Is Privateer Press Becoming Games Workshop?
Why Wizkids Closed and Why it has Come Back!

S03E21 - Standing Still and Yelling For the Roman Empire!!!!!!!!

We would love to be able to do something else, but all we can do is stand still and yell "For the Glory of Rome". Ok fine, we can do other things and on this episode we review Arcane Legions by Wells Expeditions. We made fun of this game a lot because of its tie to Wizkids games. Does it deserve that reputation, or does it give us a pleasant suprise? I'll give you hint....Jason rants about at least one thing[I warned you Wells Expeditions, but you didn't listen!]

S03E20 - 3....2.....1 - DESTROY - YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Oct 08 2009

S03E20 - 3....2.....1 - DESTROY - YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Lets be fair. In the past I've wasted money on this show. But I have never wasted money like this. I am risking the survival of four different gaming cases just so you can see which one performs the best.....Alright, one of them is just a cardboard box, but its a good cardboard box. In a battle between a WARMACHINE Battlebox vs Plastic Lock Box vs Jason's Custom Case vs GW 108 Figure Case, only the strongest will survive.

It's time to review the biggest game of the year! That game is Blood Bo....Wait, Crap....I mean Space Hulk by Games Workshop. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this game, Games Workshop has released a new edition with the coolest miniatures ever.

As usual, we give the game the So Sweet/H8t-aid Treatment to see if it really lives up to the hype. Oh and hurry up and watch this show soon since Space Hulk is only available in limited numbers....what ever that means.....

Instead of a painting tutorial, I am talking all about extruded polystyrene sculpting. We have done some of this stuff in the past, but today I put it all together to build a terrain piece.

In honor of Warhammer 40K, we are building a Tyranid Hive Cluster. So get on your safety equipment and get ready work with all sorts of nasty chemicals....

Everyone has something to complain about today. Whether it is Nazis, ASCAP, Our Set, Capital Ship Weapons, or the Arcane Legions Starter Set, we get a few rants in. The main purpose of this episode is to get some more insight into the game development process as Ryan and Kyle review the alpha 2 rules of Master of Planets.

Lets revamp that battlefield that we built last year. This new design solves a lot of the problems of the old one and introduces a whole new art style. For this episode I build a possessed river delta and general grassland field. In addition to building a field, I review the Games Workshop Scenery Painting Pack.

First off, sorry for the delay on this episode. I had a busy week with another project and I did not have time to get this show edited. Today we have another proejct episode except that we are not going to be building any terrain. Any good soldier fighting for the greater good needs to have a weapon. Therefore, we are building a full size replica of the Tau Empire Pulse Rifle.

Now, I was going to name the show after Ryan, but I decided not to in order to tick him off. I suppose you want to know what the show is about. Well, On this episode Martin the Destoyer, A long time Starcraft player, joins us in on our review of Starcraft Brood War by Fantasy Flight Games. Long story short....Its awesome. Be sure to watch the show in order to find out why. I think it might be the highest rated game in Tabletop Battlefield History.

The reason why it comes up is because we are talking about our most favorite and most hated game mechanics from the games we cover. If you have a problem with them, we can either settle it with a die roll or fist fight.

I think this episode may get the award for the worst episode we have ever done. I couldn't stop coughing, no one sound checked Ryan's Mic, and Kyle seemed sedated because he was too comfortable. Next time he gets a crappy chair with several thumb tacks. Seeing that is the last episode of the year, it's time to look back all of our crazy outtakes. With that, Thanks for spending another year with us, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Freaking Awesome New Year. We will check back in sometime in Early 2009.

Kyle said it best this episode by quoting a Clint Eastwood Movie. "Tomorrow is a promise to no one." Unfortunately, we filmed this on Sunday Nov 9th 2008, A day before Wizkids closed down. I hope you enjoy our ironic topic "Who is going to survive the next year".

But on a serious note, we do wish the best of luck to all the Wizkids employees. We will give you more information about this industry shake up as it becomes available.

So Monsterpocalypse works well on a small scale, but if you want to play the game with lots of monsters, you are going to need to make some changes. This episode covers part one of the proces by building a new command console and map. Look for the second part sometime early December, where we will cover terrain, tiles, and buildings.
