Just watched straight through 10 episodes of the Game of Thrones HBO series and have to say I wasn't dissapointed in the least. Sad to see Sean Bean die, he probably made 60-65% of the movie great to greater. It was so fitting to his acting style that it damn near gave me goosebumps and peter dinkling probably made the other 40%. I knew Eddard was gonna die, for Seans sake I was hoping. Ah well.

The Dawn of War games are supposed to be good, and its an rts but squad level, so I don't think there's any building or resource management, just ordering your 5 or so space marines around. I've tried the demos and its not really my thing, but maybe others have more experience with them. Rts type games totally stress me out for some reason.

I see the 40k RTS is on sale this weekend on Steam. RTSes aren't normally my thing, but if anyone else is interested, I'll bite!

Holy crap, I can too. Uggg that was annoying.

Jeez, I can finally post again!

I'm thinking of trying to paint some of the plastic minis I have from the D&D boardgames. I already have a ton of these things, so that cost is null, just have to worry about getting some starter paints and tools. Any pitfalls to painting plastic vs lead (the kind I had painted last, 15 years ago, ha)?

Also, if there's some killer starter set (paint and brushes) someone knows about, throw a brother a link!

Is it possible to have our G+ stream in the right sidebar instead of our twitter feed? Our G+ stuff has been pretty active and awesome, but I think some AT dudes still don't use it/check it.

E: Nice GenCon pics Enron!

After you guys have chillaxed and post-processed your trip, can't wait to hear how it all went! The live stream was pretty sweet. I can't believe how many people there seemed to be in some of those shots! Yikes!

I just ate SO much watermelon!

| And... I'm spent

Just got through our epic tour of the gaming hall... holy crap! We were in there about 3 hrs and there was plenty we didn't get much of a look at. I spent a mint at the FFG and Privateer booths, Pump got a lot of random minis, and Enron has firmly established that he's in the CDs side of the tapes/CDs divide, with his eyes on some sweet papercraft terrain. Now we're off to wander the mean streets in search of Chil-fil-A!

Just got our badges! Line was a total shit-show, two hours from where we got in. Pity the people after us... gotta be about three hours now.

Let the impulse shopping begin!

Have fun at Gen Con, gang! Can't wait to see pics and here how it went!

People already have it and it's getting pretty favorable reviews. It's basically a deck building game ala Dominion or Thunderborst, but you're building your dice bag. THEN, you pull from your bag to fight or whatever you do. It's supposed to play fast, like 30 mins, but if you're not into dice-luck, it might bum you out. I guess you can't min/max it as hard as Dominion because you still end up rolling dice in the end.

It's 2 designers are the dude who did Thunderblurst AND a the bro who did Warhammer Invasion AND Chaos in the Old World. That's the hotness!

DICE QUARWER Best thing about Dice Tower reviews is when he dumps out the components because some shitheel stalks his threads and complains about it EVERY TIME. Hilarious.

Sure man, I figure Fantasy Flight will be a high priority visit on the first day, so I'll see what we can do. Note, your copy may arrive slightly used... would that be an issue? :) I'd like to check out and possibly pick up Gears of War, if they've got it, and maybe their Cthulhu dice game too.

Rude, I read that description and started feeling like they were using that word Quar like Smurfs uses Smurf... do you really think it looks good?

Oh, if it's Johnny's link, I've already got a copy and will ups it immediately!

Edit: Serious post, it doesn't look like it comes out till October! So yeah, that would be sweet if you guys scored an early copy. Also, try out Quarriors if you get a chance. That's out within like the week, but I'm pretty curious about it. Give us teh scooples!

No he meant this.

Am I to assume you are referring to this bad boy? If so, I will keep an eye out, but I think camping out may not be in the cards sir.
