Weekly Waffle #151
I’ve been a bit more organised for this weeks weekly waffle and stolen a bit of time throughout the week to put this week’s update together. So this week’s update will be a proper waffle, and it’s quite a specific waffle. It’s loosely based around what happens to a game when someone else takes over the IP. I’m bringing this up because Warcradle studios now owns the IP for both Wild West Exodus and Dystopian wars, both games I own and really enjoy. They had already made some big changes to WWX but now that they have taken over Dystopian Wars they have announced that they are going to merge…

I’d like to start this weeks weekly waffle by apologising for being a day late with waffle and whilst I’m begging for forgiveness I’ll throw in the fact that it’s not going to be a particularly epic event. There’s big story about me being a day late just the fact that I’ve been really busy and didn’t plan in enough time got the update done. On the plus side all the work and travel I’ve been putting in has meant that a project we received a gold award at a European awards ceremony this week. So with only one week of transition to go I’m hoping I will start to…
The Road to Adepticon 2018 #1
It’s probably a bit late to be starting this as I’ve mentioned a few times in the Weekly Waffle that a few of us are going to be returning to the good old US of A next year for Adepticon (2018). We were there are a couple of years ago for the 2016 even and really enjoyed ourselves. Now that we’ve had time to recover and save up a few pennies we are on our way back. Like last time my plan is to do a few articles that cover off some of the key milestones, that’s a bit of work creeping in, about our planning for next year’s trip.…

For this week’s weekly waffle with the Adepticon tickets booked my mojo has started to return although I’ve not actually picked up a paint brush for some time, with the exception of the one I use for my MekPack. I have however been working away on the grot bot project which has sort of taken on a life of its own. It’s no longer a simple case of building some new grot bots but has turned into some other weird grot creation. More of a grot bot mark 2, bigger, faster, stronger sort of thing. This hasn’t been a conscious decision but has been more of slow evolution as I’ve…
Weekly Waffle #148
I’m going to start off this week’s weekly waffle with a controversial subject that is nothing to do with gaming. It’s to do with a famous drink that I don’t particularly like. But everyone says you have to try it in Ireland because that’s where it’s from and it tastes much better. So having spent this week in Belfast I’ve made the trip to the Crow and had a pint of the black stuff but here’s where I get really controversial. I wasn’t impressed. Don’t get me wrong there was nothing wrong with it but it was just uninspiring, nothing special. What they did have however was a rather fantastic…
Weekly Waffle #147
So what have I got for you this weeks weekly waffle? The doldrums haven’t quite cleared yet but there are some signs of change on the horizon. I’ve spent the first part of the week looking at the catalogue of events and seminars for Adepticon and trying not to simply put myself down for everything. There are lots of seminars that I really want to go to but I’m not sure how practical that will be and I’ve not even looked at the games yet. This could be a very tough week trying to get the list down to something that is actually manageable. I’ll also need to spend some…
Weekly Waffle #146
Doldrums – a state of inactivity, listlessness or stagnation. Now how’s that for an opening line in a weekly waffle. But I’ve decided it just about sums up my hobby mojo at the moment. I’ve not lost my love or my desire to hobby it’s just that I can’t seem to get myself moving to make things happen. I’ve got a few projects I can and should be working but when I sit at my desk to try and crack on with things I just can’t get started. I normally like to listen to an audio book when I’m painting and one of things may be that I’ve nothing to…
Weekly Waffle #145
It’s been a real mixed bag for this week’s weekly waffle, I think I’ve finally manage to shake this cold that I’ve had for the last few weeks and have felt more human than I have in quite a while. Travel for this week has only been for a couple of nights and it was chance to work with guy I haven’t seen for a few years which was quite nice. To be honest it was really easy which was a nice change. On the hobby front I’ve not picked up a paint brush this week but I have spent a lot of time working on the Grot Bots I…
Weekly Waffle #144
It’s been another disappointing hobby week for me again for this weeks weekly waffle but this time I’m blaming it firmly on the Scottish. Yes I know it’s it a bit harsh to blame all my hobby woes on a single nation but it’s all their fault. Ok maybe not all of them but it’s certainly down to a couple of them. Let me explain. I’ve had a cold, well it’s really a near terminal case of man flue, for about six weeks and I just can’t seem to shake it. Now I thought I had just about broken its back when work send me up to an undisclosed location…
Weekly Waffle #143
This week’s weekly waffle update is going to be a little bit sparse on real content and more a ponder on what will be in the future and when I say sparse I mean really sparse. But I do have an excuse for not getting any hobby in this week and that is that I’m still recovering from last weekend. And that isn’t necessarily from the amount of food and alcohol that was consumed as much as it was from seeing Al in a pair of Lederhosen’s. I tried to dissipate the trauma by sharing it on twitter but it didn’t really work and I’m not going to inflict it…
