Of Monsters, Malifaux, Broken Joypads and Boobs

How you could you not like this Spidicules guy?

This is the post that I had before I was sidetracked so I figured I'd try to get this one out before the Kickstarter deadline for Kingdom Death's Monster hits (it has 2 hours left and is at $1.85 million as I type this: edit - 1.86 million; edit - 1.87 million; edit - 1.88 million; edit - 1.89 million).

Most of the lads in Cork will tell you that I've been raving about this for the past month or so and I've managed to drag a few lads into giving it monies (thanks for that James) so there should be a Lantern-fetish gaming scene in place down here by the end of this year. I'm just gutted that I can't get my hands on more stuff (Oh Spidicules, how I adore thee) but I can wait until he hits the shelves to add it to my games. At least you get enough stuff in the box to keep you entertained for a long time.

While I'm waiting for that to arrive I have Malifaux and my Xbox with Dark Souls to keep me entertained. Dark Souls: what a horrendously difficult game.

I hate computers.

This was the scene in my flat earlier when Photoshop wouldn't do as I demanded. Ok, it wasn't quite the same but I did manage to break the computer and lose loads of files and programs (Office, Photoshop, old College work, CVs and a pile of games, music and porn) but most of all I lost the photos and future articles that I had saved up for this here blog.

I had over 100 photos to add up from my games at a 5-game 2 day tournament in Limerick (including some lovely conversions of Stormravens) so I have to consider them lost. To make things more frustrating I'm now relying on the missus' netbook and most of my peripherals require a cd to upload a program first (printer, scanner, phone, mp3 player) and now I've got to go about getting a fecking external CD drive.
