Hasta La Bye Bye My web presence will be shifting over to the new blogger. They're making it pretty damn easy over there these days, and of course google's involvement doesn't hurt. I've created a page for meanderings but I haven't written anything there just yet. I know I'll still be reviewing movies there at the very least. I've been working on a new 40k blog that I call 40kology. Anyway, geocities was nice but I won't miss the manual html and nonexistent archiving service. Later! Comment on this entry... |

For The Emperor
Played at a Dragon's Lair tournament on Saturday, came in second place out of six, which is I think the best I've ever done gaming-wise. The first match against Eldar was a little one-sided; he bet hard on getting first turn and set most of his folks up right in some of my best firing lanes: adios. First turn I wiped out his Dark Reapers and Falcon (leaving the enclosed Fire Dragons stranded in his deployment zone). I ended up with about as many points as I could possibly have earned from that first match, but it turned out that I lost a lot of good luck along with it. Second game was against Dark Angels, and I got to see just how impressive their new codex is... first turn deep-striking Terminators are not that fun, especially with a Librarian leading them. It took me a few turns just to kill them, meanwhile a crapload of other folks are moving up. Thanks to early Land Raider lascannon fire, I lost my Basilisk before it could get off any shots. I scrambled to get as many victory points as I could but eventually lost, solid victory Dark Angels. Third and final match was against Ultramarines, but unfortunately the guy playing them knew hardly any rules and was perpetrating all kinds of shenanigans, unknowingly or otherwise. His army was a mess, half-assembled and almost completely unpainted, none of the right weapons on any of the vehicles (not unforgivable but in tournament play you should have a reasonable expectation of wysiwig). Then I started getting some seriously shitty rolls. It was also my first match against someone fielding a special character, which are now tournament-legal. Marneus F. Calgar (the F stands for Fucking) and his lil' honor guard carved a blazing trail into my flank, hopping and skipping through about five squads as I dropped pie-plate after pie-plate from the Demolisher on them, totally in vain. Ended up getting slaughtered. Oh well. Second place overall, good enough for government.

I missed the four-year Meanderings anniversary on the 6th. Four years! Sucks that it coincided closely with the beginning of the war.
It's been a while since I squawked about some CNNsanity...
