Just to clarify

It’s a Party

It’s a Party:

Inspired by classic Dungeons and Dragons archetypes, Guy Himber’s (aka V&A Steamworks) roving party of adventurers look like they will make quick work of any trouble they encounter. Built in Guy’s unique “Shakespeare” scale, the figures allow for plenty of detail and pose-ability. Thus far, the characters include a stalwart and stocky Dwarven King, a charismatic golden plate-mailed Paladin, and a dexterous dragon-helmeted Archer, with Guy promising more to come, including a Lich King.

So perfect...

WANT!

Also, supposedly its gonna be a real thing

Warpwolf Stalker

Here we go again, after a long painting absence I have the bug again and have to start all over it seems like. Old habits are gone  bad habits are back and I am back to brush licking. Well here is the Circle Stalker. I went with a different color scheme just to try it out. So here we go again. Up next Vladimir, the Dark Prince of Umbrey. I will post work in progress photos as I go. I will try some glossing to make the model really pop. So who else is painting what?

We should do this with Mike's GLOCK

Now I feel bad

Though I didn't really get into Pokemon the show in any big way, I must have spend endless hours with my gameboy playing red and blue, in my spare time, on road trips and during class. I always despised Gary Oak for being an insufferable, annoying jerk. I recently found this and suddenly all the hatred and anger I held for Gary makes me feel incredibly bad.

just sayn'

FOR KEVIN!!

So i went back and read alot of the old posts just now and all i can say i really like kevins posts... Kev dude start posting again.

New Power Button

Here is the new power button for my XBox 360, inspired by the soon to be released game Bastion. There is still some free hand work to be done on the paint job but so far things are starting to come together.

The Ghost Light

It all started on a night like tonight. The song-dogs were waling at the moon off of Cadillac Range, the summer wind blew hot. A young couple was traveling down this very stretch of the mother road when they spotted an unnatural blue glow......

All they found were two out of state license plates. So remember the one thing that angers the ghostlight more than anthting else is the sound of clanking metal.

Your job is to fill in the middle. Best story gets $20 restaurant gift card.

awsome

For the discriminating nostalgia junkie

New Warmachine video game footage.

Needless to say I am super excited to play this game. It looks very interesting so far. The video is not the best quality but from what I can make out it looks very promising. What do you guys think any interest from the rest of you. It has some multi player built in so it would be fun to play against each other rather then wait 30 min for Barry to decided which way he is going to move a single model.

GOL!

Lolz

CEO of Sony. So I don't respect my-self apparently.

Playing in 3D

So it is finally here. I remember posting about the 3DS after E3 of last year. I have been able to play with the system for several hours now and I can say that the 3D is awesome! However from the 4 people that I personally know that have played the 3DS half said the experienced a motion sick feeling. Those two often claim to suffer from motion sickness so I think there might be a correlation. I however have had no problems at all using the 3D feature turned all the way up.

There are a lot of cool features in the 3DS right out of the box. I will cover a few in this post.

The 3D needs to be seen to be believed. There is a mini game called Face Raiders that uses a form of augmented reality and has you fire projectiles at pictures of yourself or whatever else you decided to snap a 3D pic of. The game has you spinning and turning to find the next enemy to shot out of the sky as they taunt you with weird faces.

Next is the QR code (below). After making a Mii (3DS Avatar) you can transform it into a QR code and post it on the internet for example. Anyone with a 3DS can hold the camera up to the code and pull the Mii you created off the screen and into their system. Pretty awesome. There is so much potential in that feature alone that it makes it very exciting to see what developers might do with it.

Next post I will talk about the amazing AR cards. I will even post some pics. The only bad thing I can say about the system right now is that it is a dust magnet. How many times do I have to wipe this thing down?

This is about Sports, ask Watson

There are no less than three clips that made me feel like this is how all football should be announced; those would be, "Here's my buddy," "That adds to your lead," and "Yahoo!"

Update

Here is an update on my XBox case mod. Still need to get some LEDs and some other painting on it. I also need to get some plexi glass to add as a window and the center part of the cog will go on top of that.

Projects!

First things first, teach Logan about classic gaming. We start first with the Gamboy Pocket.

Next an XBox 360 Case mod. Based on the Logo from the up coming Super Giant Games game Bastion. Work In Progress! It will be red with some LEDs thrown in there.

Logo for Bastion.

Then we have the Vigilant have been working on. I ended up dipping the model to speed up the painting process. Erin's new camera is really good so it made my shading look brown, well it is but it is darker in real life.

So tell me what you guys think and what projects are you guys working on?

Its madness I tell you! Madness!

Ok, so Michael handed out a NCAA Bracket on Sunday, and I was actually stoked, cause, yeah, I like to participate in all kinds of stuff. Now, obviously, I don't know much about.. sports, but no matter right? Its random stats and data. So, Google got their B-Ball on and built this site.. which I guess is no ESPN, but is rife with data and maps of where the games are being played and where the teams are from. So the Bros started a bracket, and at posting... I'm winning, for now. Bracket 1 is Barry, 2 Kevin, etc.. As the tourney progresses the scores and points will update. And we can double check the official NCAA as we go. That being said, we are an eclectic bunch, so here is another kind of bracket, to add to the madness. So, get filling and voting! Lets see which one of us needs to work in Vegas.

Link

Thought I would try out something different and got some inspiration from A Link to the Past that I was playing on the emulator I have. I am planning to do Sabin from FF6 next and eventually a Disneyland map for Mike.

Video games as art

The Civilization series is one that i have loved for a long time, we're talking back when it was still an extremely complicated board game. Me, Tanner, Brain and Mr. Burrows, my high school Spanish teachers husband, spend many long weekends playing it. Unlike Star craft I was pretty good at Civ and was stoked when it came out on PC. While I haven't played Civ 5 the above trailer is a beautiful piece that, in my opinion, easily qualifies as art. And as a small first step to that end, the song which playes over the video won a 2011 Grammy. It's things like this that can lead gaming to a great position in our culture, things like this need to be held up as shining examples of what the industry can do.

While I love the above video this one which puts English lyrics to the music is pretty good too.

Flash = Barry?

In 1956, DC Comics successfully revived superheroes, ushering in what became known as the Silver Age of comic books. Rather than bringing back the same Golden Age heroes, DC reimagined them as new characters for the modern age. The Flash was the first revival, in the aptly named tryout comic book Showcase #4 (Oct. 1956).

This new Flash was Barry Allen, a police scientist who gained super-speed when bathed by chemicals after a shelf of them was struck by lightning. He adopted the name The Flash after reading a comic book featuring the Golden Age Flash.^[3]After several more appearances in Showcase, Allen's character was given his own title, The Flash, the first issue of which was #105 (resuming where Flash Comics had left off).

The Silver Age Flash proved popular enough that several other Golden Age heroes were revived in new incarnations (see: Green Lantern). A new superhero team, the Justice League of America, was also created, with the Flash as a main, charter member.

"Interaction" figures....I... um..yeah : )

The best part about this is what he says at the end.....

Cryx Battle Engine

Ridiculously Awesome!

Cygnar Siege Engine in CG

Ummmm Awesome!!!!

What are you playing?

So what have everyone been playing lately? Recently I finished Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and am trying to find a copy of Too Human to play, the demo was pretty sweet.

For Anne. Cross stitch.

Thought Anne would like this. Points to anyone that can point to where the Master Sword was before link took it.

Bastion. Game to look out for. XBOX Arcade

Keeping my eye on this one.

Arcantrik Force Generator!

i love these

One of this..

i don't know what this is but.. i want it

Need i say more?

If you could have one car...

what would it be? Mine would be the Aston Martin One-77.

With only 77 examples being manufactured, the Aston Martin One-77 is one of the rarest cars on the planet, with each one tailored individually to each owner’s specifications, effectively making every car one-of-a-kind. But that's not even the best thing about the One-77.

It snowed here this morning..

FireFall Persistent Open World Trailer [HD]

New MMOFPS that should be coming out soon looks like it is going to

be a lot of fun. Sign up for the Beta.

The Protectorate’s Vessel of Judgment (Concept)

 Instead, the Vessel of Judgment showcases the fervent desperation of the Menite cause. Each Vessel is a massive 
reliquary, holding the sanctified remains of one of the ancient Menite Priest Kings. Terrible power is channeled through this conduit but at some risk to the relic within. The Synod of Visgoths are split on this matter. Some consider this use of relics to be a righteous manifestation of faith; others believe it is a blasphemous abuse of Menoth’s power.

Privateerpress War Engines

Here is the first of the new model class "War Engine". Khador players got to see theirs first and I think it looks pretty cool. The concepts of the others can be seen on Privateerpress. Menoth will be shown tomorrow so I am pretty excited. What do you guys think?
