• Finally managed to finished editing the last game session, and actually have it published a day early on my schedule.  By the time this post goes live, it should be uploaded onto YouTube for viewing.

  • Although we have previously worked on a number of home repair and improvement projects, it isn’t really a move until the boxes arrive.  Our plan this year has been to sell the house, and move to a larger home, to fit the growing family and collections.  However, until recently, not much has actually progressed.  So I forced the issue, and began to pack up boxes, to clear the house.  My goal is 5-6 boxes per day, so the temporary storage locker is filling up steadily. No doubt, there will be many more boxes before any such move actually happens.  In…

  • Finally working on the latest round of Pathfinder videos, despite my chronic procrastination.  Unfortunately, it is a long process, so best case would be to finish the first video by tomorrow.  More than likely it will be Friday instead, or Saturday.  Then I have content from Zombicide to do as well, though that one isn’t as important.  But then Sunday, we have our next Pathfinder session, so I will have new content to work on again.  This is the problem with putting off the work, it tends to stack up quickly, and makes it that much harder to keep motivated…

  • Previously missing in action, when the local game store failed to get their shipment on time, the new Imperial Quasar Fire-class cruiser carrier has finally been located.  An unusual ship in terms of looks, it is part of the latest release for Star Wars: Armada, and balances out the fleets with the Rebel options.  Overall, I like the design, especially the expanded forward firing arc, though since I normally play Rebels, I am not looking forward to it.  

  • A couple years ago, during our trip to Myrtle Beach, we adopted a collection of hermit crabs for the kids.  As these things happen, they became the pets of the wife instead, and over time, various things were added, including at one point a streaming webcam with the intent to record and review their nightly activities.  Unfortunately, this never really worked out – the software to stream and record wasn’t very stable, and the interest in watching hermit crabs faded. The hermit crabs are still going strong, but I have re-tasked the camera for other efforts instead.  Right now, it…

  • Travelling back and forth for work again, due to a problem with travel approvals internally in the company.  That prevents me from heading up earlier in the week, and going home later, and instead makes me need to travel up and back in the same day.  Basically, I can charge mileage without needing approval, but any hotel or food expenses must be approved no less than 14 days in advance.  And of course, with all the internal company changes, the approval chain keeps changing, making it nearly impossible to get that approval with the proper lead time. Fortunately, next week…

  • On Sunday, as planned, we played a game of Zombicide: Black Plague, instead of our regular Pathfinder game (due to a lack of players).  Overall, it was a strong success, everyone seemed to have a great time.  We only ended up playing Quest 1 – Big Game Hunting, and after a lot of cooperation (and the loss of 2 characters), managed to pull out a victory.  For a group of new players, we were very happy with this result, despite the mission being listed as “easy”.  To my knowledge, we didn’t cheat on the rules at all either, though we…

  • Got the opportunity to play some RuneWars Miniatures with my younger son over the weekend – a game he picked up a few weeks ago and had been eager to try.  Not sure if after playing he is fully sold on the game, though he is eager to buy more figures now, but I don’t know if he ended up truly understanding the game itself.  Being 9, he is more interested in just playing with the miniatures, rather than playing a rules-based game.  However, RuneWars is written simple enough that he can understand it, and grasp the mechanics, while still…
