A great cartoon on Bell of Lost Souls

This was posted on Bell of Lost Souls a great 40k fourm and this made me laugh.....

To me this applies almost to every game that has small plastic fiddly parts....Robotech, Bolt Action as well as GW stuff!

The Awesomes New Hulu Series

If you are a fan of super heroes, wow this series is a scream! It is a Hulu  Original series that is just packed full of jokes, adult content and just some funny stuff....it is well worth the watch! Plus at the end they are plugging Jack Links snacks....they remind me of the animated version of the Hostess Fruit Pies ads in the back of comic books!

The overview: Proc (a mix of Professor and Doc) is the son of  Mr Awesome a superman rip off character that has been a hero for 70 years and is hanging up his cape to retire. His team disbands and his son tries to pick up the torch and make  his father proud. His powers short of being very intelligent is the ability to stop time that he is told is bad for his health, thus making him a second stringer hero along with him oafish friend Muscle Man that goes out to recruit a new team to maintain government funding (think Avengers) where he recruits a team of misfits including Sumo (an 11 year old that turns into a Super Sumo when angry), a former original Awesome that is 80 years old but has the body of a 25 year old due to a freak accident called Gadget Girl, Hotwire the untrustworthy new recruit that Proc has the hots for, Concierge (not an actual member) but the only support staffer with a super mind to keep things organized, a black hero from Imperserio that creates things with his mind with his mother's face on them (he's a mama's boy) and Frantic a super speedster that is hyper active, a red neck and dumb as dirt......their adventures takes them into a variety of humorous adventures!

What if WW2 had Facebook

Saw this on another blog and had to share....while I hate Facebook and will never have an account this is just a scream!

The woes of Mail order!

Well, with some saving and scraping of cash I pooled with a few friends and placed an order with Warlord to get some goodies for our armies. The order was placed on 4/12, it sat in "picking" for several days before I sent an email asking what was the issue. By this I mean it was the 18th, 6 days is reasonable for 14 items, most of which is vehicles. Then again I think they may have been picking their nose or ass for all I know (but more on that later). 

I get an email on the 21st with an apology and just shortly after the package is in the mail UPS and should be here on Wednesday. Of course my wife is out of town and I work far away so it is shipped with a signature request. Just bad timing as normally my wife is at home because she works at home. It just happens she was out of town at a conference! So, we wait till today it shows late in the day. I drive home all happy and excited after almost 3 weeks I have my goodies! I open them up and inspect my order (a habit I have learned is essential, you just don't open something and not check it). After sorting my friends stuff, I start to dig into my wares only to find that all three vehicles are missing parts! Not only that they managed to give me extra parts also! I had an extra crew for my 251/16 flamethrower half tracks but no front machine guns and shields! The Sdkfz 7 Half track has no axle (I did get tires) and it appears I am missing a metal sprue with the windshield, steering wheel and tow bar!!!! Oddly I did get an extra set of tracks for it, so I can only assume it is prone to breakdowns in the track section during play and I have a replacement set just in case. 

So, I emailed the person I was spoke to prior about the delay and asked the ticket to be reopened to fix my order. I have three flipping vehicles after almost 3 weeks with enough parts to do anything with. Very frustrating.

Have a Lobo Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Enjoy this short with Lobo out to kill Santa Claus!
