Weekly Waffle #115
These weekly waffle updates are beginning to feel a bit like ground hog day with no game night because I’ve been on the road all week. I did manage to make a bit of change this week and took a few paints away with me so I could get some hobby time in. But more on that later. For me this week the big thing is that for those lucky enough to be in Schaumburg it’s Adepticon. I can’t believe it’s been a year since we were there and seeing all the pictures on Twitter this week has really fired me to up go back again next year. Greg who…

Lots of travel again for me for this weeks weekly waffle so no game night for me but I did try get some of my none gamer colleagues to try a new game but this one was a bit of a fail. I have Rory’s game cubes on my phone so I tried to get them to have a go but they weren’t that interested. They liked the idea so I may have to pick up some actual cubes and give it a go again. Whilst the app is really nice there is something just a bit more engaging about having the dice rolling on a table where everyone can…

For game night this week read game day and whilst it was technically last week following the update I’m still using it for this weekly waffle. Plus it takes me into the new world of computer gaming as opposed table top gaming, although it did put my beer on a table so as far as I’m concerned that counts. Things didn’t quite go to plan however as the originally we were going to try out the multi-crew function in the new Elite Dangerous Beta. But as often happens with these things when the Beta came out the multi-crew didn’t work. So instead I spent an afternoon in VR learning to…

No game night this week and I haven’t even managed to get a game of Chupacabra in for the weekly waffle, with all the traveling I’ve been doing. Considering the UK is not a large country I’ve certainly spent my far share how hours behind the wheel this week. Driving backwards and forwards, on a nearly daily basis, between the North West and the north east. Like I say the distances are vast but it eats up a lot of time. The only thing that has kept me sane has been my iPod on shuffle reminding me that I have what I am going to call a very eclectic taste…

It’s been another one of those crazy weeks for the weekly waffle were it feels like the world has been conspiring against me. No normal game night this week because I’ve been working away all week but I did manage to get a bit of gaming in. I introduced some of the people I work with to Chupacabra in the pub. Now I have to say that they were all a bit dubious to start with but it only a single game to get them hooked. It wasn’t long before people were walking past our table to get a look at what we were doing. So that’s at least half…

So for this week’s weekly waffle I thought the stars would align and I would get loads of work done with me not having any travel at all, but that didn’t turn out to be the case. I had loads of time but for the first time in quite a while I just didn’t have any mojo so as I result is spent most of time this week watching re-runs of Farscape and Atlantis. Now that’s not a bad thing but it’s not good if you want to crack on with a project. Keeping with the theme of things not going to plan there was no game night this week…
Weekly Waffle #109
So no travel it interrupt this weeks weekly waffle which is a nice change, although there was no game night this week because Al was working. I just can’t seem to win at the moment. But it has given me a bit more time to put this week’s waffle together and whilst I’ve not managed to get a great deal of painting done there have been a few things that have caught my eye this week. I’ve been really intrigued by some of the wording that came along with the latest 40k releases. Specifically those that go along with the images of Cypher. Now I have to say that I’m…
Weekly Waffle #108
So for this weeks weekly waffle I’ve found myself in something akin to the gaming doldrums, that’s not because I’ve lost my mojo, far from it, it’s just that work has once again go in the way. So no game night for me this week being stuck in a hotel in sunny Sunderland. I did plan to try and get some hobby in by taking some minis with me to clean up and build so that I can get some painting done this weekend. But I didn’t manage to get as much done as I would have liked. I spent most of my evenings, not in the bar but having…
Weekly Waffle #107
So once again it’s been a week when I haven’t been able to any gaming in for the weekly waffle but have managed to watch a let’s play for Shadow Games which a board game set in the world of Guild Ball. I got the game as a Christmas present but haven’t had a chance to get a game in yet so it was good to watch someone playing through a game. I’ve now watched it a couple of times an think I’ve got the hand of it, I just need to get some time to give it a go. The idea behind the game is that you are an…

It’s been another manic week with work so once again I haven’t had a great deal of time to get any hobby in for the weekly waffle. Having said that I’ve been making steady, if somewhat, slow progress with the Deathwatch. This week I’ve managed to get all the bases painted up and the models mounted so if needed they could be used in a game now. But there are still quite a few details that still need completing. I’ve said it before about these guys but there are so many details, which I’m not complaining about, it seems like you’ve got everything covered and then you notice something else…
