i fear he likes the same shit i do

im like... a geek and stuff. i like Star Wars and Star Trek... i used to post on the ebaum forum till i pissed eric off, i love odd tOdd, i read L ron hubbard. once in a resturant in Cleethorpes a guy threw his food all over in a rage and i said, outloud, "Looks like he don't like the cornbread either" *

thats how geeky i am.

but when it comes to wargaming in pretty catholic in my tastes (note the small C- im not talking about loving a jew onna stick here...) and i only really like 40k.

i sort of respect Fantasy Battle but LotR is just static noise...


come and play lord of the rings with us Biakal... for ever and ever and ever....

and i really hope its not my age. there is evidence everywhere that i might be turning into an old fart...

1. old age geeks tend to move in to Historical. I chose IG because i liked the contemporary feel and modern looks

2. i think the magic phase is a bit childish and deus ex machina

3. i have a jaguar x-type and a minor from 1963

4. i genuinely believe my dice box makes women wet

5. i dislike deamons and monstorous creatures beacuse i think they are too WHFB (see 2 above)

6. WD seems to be aimed at people with the reading age of the average ITV viewer


Benny loves WD and thinks "Andy Hall is like, dead good at words and stuff"

7. MY fluff seems as good as, if not better than their fluff. not in an arrogant way either... like, REALLY

8. how fucking awesome was Napolean?

9. I had more fun at partizan than FW open day

10. "eeeee! have you seen these prices!!! it wern't like that in my day!"

But even if Xenu IS pushing me towards flames of war or roman legions or some other wank there is a slight speed bump.

I don't fancy it.

I like lasers... space ships, fucking "dakka wiv eks-tra choppy". I dont like SM. i dont think as any kind of fighting force they make any sense. i think they come over as a bit childish. but i like orks... i like the fact they are sort of funny but will also stab you to fuck just for the hell of it. i like the eldar hit and run, fast 'n' sleek asthetic. I also like the fact they bummed each other so much they actually made a hole in space-time when they should have been fighting necrons (true story). i like the look of the Tau and the way they sit between Eldar and IG.

i really quite like the whole horus heresy vibe with the whole dark powers thing... but i also feel chaos are gay and people who play with them just fear to loose. Even Benny could win with Chaos. i cant see how they are fun to fight agaist or to play with.

I like all that. i even like the kroot and think they could have their own codex if they tried hard enough. but the time i throw at 40k is getting smaller and smaller. for quite a few reasons.

minor: iv got a few other hobbies, not least a 47 year old car
minor: iv sort of got into magic
major: i couldbnt win against fucking Benny recently. im not an overly bad loser but im getting tabled every game
major: they are pricing me out. not "literally" (but they are close) but but more in a percieved value for money way. i dont feel like i have done the right thing when i buy anything anymore. Im thinking more and more not "should i save that money" more "i could buy some other stuff with that...a shirt or a video game or a hooker"

it is a sad world indeed my friends when for the price of three sentinels or a land raider and a metal mini you can get a lady to do rude things to your cock. seriously.

i have ordered the Manticore where i get 10% off... but as soon as i did i regretted it. Now i really want that model, cos i think it looks boss-cool... but when im getting nervous about even buying stuff cheap im concerned.


Tyrell got bored with waiting for DE and went back to playing chess with a wrinkly nonce... he ended up with an eye out

maybe the light that burns twice as bright DOES last half as long... and my hobby geekness has burned oh so very brightly.

but im hoping for another option...this one linked to the fact its high summer right now

40k is now a winter sport...I hope


The lucky little cunt
