Yeah, I don't mind the lack of BB and SH. SH has sort of run it's course for me. I mean if there was a new edition that included all sorts of new minis and rules, I would probably pick it up, but as it stands I think I have all I need to enjoy the game. Plus, it allows me hope that GW will perhaps tease for a few more years another release of SH....
As far as BB, I have no one to play with, no one to ever play with, so what does it matter? :)
Although, there is an xbox version of BB scheduled to come out in the not TOO distant future.... makes me think that there might be a SH version to follow, so GW wants to hold on to those properties just in case there is some interest generated.
Can't wait to see what new games FF comes up with that exist in the GW universes. In a manner of speaking, it is a dream come true. All the teenage joy of the GW universes but given a proper boardgame treatment that GW never did. Not to mention the back catalog of games they could reprint, which they already started to do with Britannia, Fury of Dracula, etc.
Good stuff.

For once GW does something smart
Well doesn't this just take the cake.
Fantasy Flight Games is officially the 800lb Gorilla in the room. I could not be happier to hear this because if FFG knows anything, it's making boardgames. I might not like them all, or even many of them, but holy shit - this has the possibility of being HUGE!!!
Whoooopeeeee!!!!

Pictures...
I really should take some photos of the places i'm going...
Day 4 diary cont...
Went to Mong Kok district (rudies favorite place)
ate dim sum at Fung shing restarant. They had some delicious fried Shrimp rolls, steamed Beef Balls, barbeque buns, and dumplings.
Why do all asians look alike?
So the point of this trip is just to eat, shop, drink, and sleep. I'm lovin it!
Discussed my business idea with Melanie who seemed of little interest (she doesn't use said product though so it's fair)
I have come up with a business name already, and the store concept. It will be big!
pumped iron at the gym
sleep.
I have a simple life as of now.

Dude, I wanna go to fuckin HONG KONG! Holy shit, that sounds cool as hell. I might be a little scared though... I mean, I seen that Michael Douglas movie Black rain and I don't wanna cross paths with any ornery Koreans on motorbikes!
I got Rock Band a few days ago. Pretty fucking sweet. I was surprised that the drumming part of it REALLY makes you fuckin drum on hard/expert level. Like you have to have independence between arms and feet. It was kinda fuckin' me up! I'm getting better now. It's SO fucking loud though, I'm going to look into ways to mod the kit into being not so fucking noisy. Daytime I mess with drums, nighttime the guitar. If you cheap cocksuckers ever sign up for a gold live membership we can play songs together :(
How'd GDC conference go? Sell any games? I was reading about microFUCKINGROCKSTARsofts XNA thing where you can make shitty games for xbox live (i would like to design a game called Man Pac and it will be retro feeling.) Put yours there, I will buy it.

Diary Day 4

An Great Vacation!
Sounds like, er, um, you are having a BLAST with your family!
"Mister bates came over to see Mr. Jimmy Johnson
Mom came back from shopping"
I assume Mr. Bates had left the building before Mom came home?

Diary Day 3
Had a vivid dream but quickly forgotten
Mcdonalds Big Breakfast for breakfast, shortened lifespan by .5 years
Passed by a jewelry store called lukfook jewelry. (I suppose either you get lucky or get fucked buying their jewelry. Same?)
More shopping
Ate at a place called 98 degrees (uh.. food taste like they shouldn't have quit theyre day job), basically they served me squiggly noodles in hot water with tidbits of corn and peas.
Went back to the hotel for a breather
Watched porn previews for 20 minutes until the previews ran out
Mister bates came over to see Mr. Jimmy Johnson
Mom came back from shopping
Went to dinner at Mei Yuan (a popular hong kong quick eats franchise), had some chiiccken rice
back to the room.
rest and watch TV.
Might go to the gym for old times sake and dust off the bones
Sleep.
P.S You should totally get out here jon!

Jebuz
Do not turn Jebuz on
Ja -El, that was a sweet journal. Especially, "Thought about some Thai hookers and some fantasy orgies with several women (unknown and known from the past)". Brilliant.
ElZar: I had seen that bit on GenCon. I guess it is a function of their licensing arm and not the convention arm. Apparently it is at least partially due to a civil suit brought to bear onto GenCon by none other than Mr. Lucas himself. Go figure.

Love those journals man! Keep 'em coming!
By the way, I have to thank you for the book recommendation you made ten years ago. I was at the library, and saw this book A Canticle for Leibowitz. I remembered you recommended it a loooong time ago (I think when you were living in the house in MB) and so I picked it up. It's really good!
So yeah, soon I'll check out all the stuff you recommended a long time ago... next up -- playing through Autoduel!

Rok Machine
I see that over here in the Arcades, pretty fuckin awesome when you someone actually play it in IRL. I saw someone jamming and i watched him play the drums for at least 10 minutes. Mesmerizing. Althought seems you gotta be a *drummer* to actually play (there's no other way! i say), I don't see how they can make money in the arcade on this game, since people who don't know how to play generally won't go near the game. Aesthetically, the whole set looks as real as it can get.
fuuuuck I might just go out and buy Rock Band tonight. This video is so fucking sweet!
