BLocked at work. Describe it to me!

lol

[Mr Mystery]

And they all bang on about the '3.5' codex, and how many wonderful options it had.

Yes, many, many wonderful options which they promptly ignored in favour of the same old predictable ones.

[Psychosplodge]

I thought they wanted spiky marines + what with them being 10k veterens and all that...

[Mr Mystery]

I'm not sure they know what they want. Other than the moon on a spiky stick. Or that thing they don't have. They want that. And then when they have it, they'll change their mind, and demand it be taken away and replaced with the thing it replaced. So they can whine about that too.

I mean, Mutilators are considered poor??? Seriously? REALLY? 2 wound Terminator equivalents, with a handy variety of HTH weapons on offer? Why are they poor? Oh. They can't assault after deepstrike. Just like everyone else. Barring Blood Angels, and even then I think that's limited to a single unit type.

Though I should now offer genuine apologies to Eldargal. Eldargal. You were right. Eldar players are not the whiniest. It is indeed Chaos players.

[Wolfshade]

I think that there is a rationale for CSM having access to all of the SM armoury, perhaps there is some divide between the vetrans of the long war not having access to post heresey weapons.

The trouble is, and this is a problem that BA, SW and DA (and previously BT) have is that these chapters need to have access to the SM weaponry but they need to be sufficently different to make people want to play them, which commonly means that they are codex space marine + fancy new extras. Now if this is the case then why would anyone want to play normal marines when they can play normal marines with fancy (optional) extras.

I don't trust Asians... Or Chaos players.

[DrLove42]

Mutilators are considered poor because for the same points you can buy an Obliterator.

Who is exactly that same in every way, except he always has a power fist and doens't have to swap it out to a new weapon every turn, but also has a wide array of heavy weaponary.

I play Chaos, and feel its a decent codex. people just whinge about a few things.

Turns out drinking half a bottle of red wine and half a bottle of 60% alcohol gin by accident at lunch makes Eldargal a bit crazy. Also a bit hungover. That would be me, apparently, hiding the water I was given to drink like it was some kind of game and ending up dehydrated. I also apparently sent a lot of PMs here on BoLs I have little memory of so going through the sent folder is going to be fun.

You sure?

I'll check my codex when I get back, but I remember thinking that, and then checking it and seeing they didn't have them anymore.

Though it's most likely me that's got it wrong!

Gota PDF on my work computer

Still got Powerfists!


Although Mutilators are a bit cheaper, and are Elites not Heavy...so there is a slight difference between them. Also mutilators get a pair so get +1 Attack.

But if you've got the option and points, a Obliterator is better. Always good in combat, has a wide array of guns

So it didn't turn up. Do I Steam it or go out and get a copy from Tesco?

Our internet is so unreliable not sure a Steam would be any better than waiting for it tomorrow

Either way, other than my Xbox ordered through Game because I've not been able to order it in store, never buying from Game online again

[DrLove42]

Steam in the end. But our internet is so intermittent recently i doubt itll be done before bed. FFS

[Mr Mystery]

Yes I like that song!

Took me half an hour to DL when I got in, thought it'd be longer so I started installing windows on my media box, which turned into a 3 hour job to put all the drivers and other software i wanted on it, so I've only played about an hour of Rome...


Yes I like that song!

The crucified barberas? it was the band rather than a particular song I was posting, still got to listen to some more, but I'm liking what I've heard so far.

Yesterday's WTF moment during a brief interlude in a 11.5 hour 700 mile drive back home from the extended weekend:



Sitting in a Denny's (and don't we all have WTF moments in Denny's at some point?) when a tatted-up dude sits down in the booth next to ours.



While waiting for either our food to arrive, or the sun to spark it's last nuclear gasp (it took almost that long) I had what seemed like an ice age to peruse this guy's ridiculous amount of neck and head tattoos. One geometric oddity kept me going "huh..." during the long wait.



Until...*click* it hit me.



The idiot had a stylized swastika tattoo on. his. neck.



WTF?



If he didn't already look like a half brain-dead methed out loser, I may not have been able to resist the urge to walk over and calmly bang his head into the table until the stupid finally stopped leaking out.

[DrLove42]

I think Dennys is the equivilnet of Little Chef

[Psychosplodge]

In that case, then yes, everytime I've gone in I've had a WTF am I doing in here moments...

[Wolfshade]

Little Chef serving staff, the slowest moving objects on earth.

I'm guessing this guy is using it for it's most recent usage.

Unfortunately this modern usage has led to the older historical uses becoming shyied away from. At one point it was a preferred representation of a cross so people would have it as a grave marker, those sites have (largely) been vandalised as people think that it is relating to their view on race...

Today I almost got hit by a bus. It has been too long since this happened, I wonder what the excuse is this time...

[Mr Mystery]

Watching a programme about clockwork automata and that on BBC4.

And it's strengthened my utter disdain for clock/steampunk even further. When you see the sheer genius of the development of clockwork and steampower, you begin to realise just how lazy a trope clock/steampunk is. Whilst when done well, it's really quite good, all too often it's used as a fall back for those without the wit to write proper sci-fi, as in sci-fi which predicts new technologies. And worse, for my money it detracts and cheapens the astounding achievements made. I mean, take a gander at this...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwX7T7JqsDo

Utterly beautiful. Amazing craftsmanship. To me, the very definition of genius artifice. It's unique in the world, and simply stunning.

Then some berk comes along and invents steampunk, without ever really bothering with the limitations of steam and clockwork.... Cheapens it. Reduces the achievement.

Bah!

[Psychosplodge]

yeah but steampunk looks cool...

It was quiet here today...

[Mr Mystery]

Doesn't look cool. Looks silly.

Victorian clothing looks cool (well, for the men. Looks sexy, but utterly impractical for the ladies!). Why wreck it by gluing cogs everywhere?

[Psychosplodge]

no actual steampunk, not just gluing extra cogs on, i agree that's silly...

[eldargal]

Steampunk is actually really good when people do it properly, ie mix Victorian fashions with elements of clockwork inspired tech. The problem is a lot of people do just glue cogs onto stuff which is about as Steampunk as buying a Halloween princess dress and a cardboard tube is fantasy LARP.

PM: "The first point I would make to the honourable gentleman is that we would never support illegal action."

Miley Cyrus has spoken out about her performance saying you have to do something to go down in history. I think she has missed the bit that going down in history by looking like a complete and utter half wit is not the best way to do it.

[Psychosplodge]

her infamous performance, as opposed to famous performance?

Her hair looks ridiculous on the BBC website.

[Kirsten]

yup, her hair put me in mind of Cartman in the episode where he cuts his through a bicycle helmet and enters the special olympics... her entire performance was that of a crazy person, it was about the least erotic thing I have ever seen.

[Wolfshade]

Having watched the official music video of that song and then the infmaous performance I am hardly surprised that she did what she did. It is like being surprised that ZZ Top in a live performace spin guitars or do the hand gesture.

It is part of the routine, if you had issues with the music video ask her, nay tell her, not to do it as it is inappropriate to the audience.
In the same way bands were told not to swear on Top of the Pops.

I had a jersey cow lick my arm last weekend. It was surprisingly very rough. Very cute cow though and it really enjoyed being rubbed under its chin. As I gazed into its big beautiful eyes, I did for a split second feel maybe eating animals was wrong. Then I thought fu*k it, I was born to eat meat and especially steak.

Princess Diana Biopic declared massive steaming turd of a film by everyone but the Daily Express non-shocker! (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-23985665)

Also, just watched the new Robocop trailer.... I'm intrigued. I make no statement about the possible quality of the finished product, but the trailer does have my interest. They've managed to make OCP seem even more manipulative, as apparently, they've installed software into Robocop to give the illusion of freewill. It's a different take on things, and so far, I approve, even if it doesn't quite work out in the end. Far better than 'well, that was pointless. You just put different fx into it'

[DrLove42]

I predict the robo-cop film will be great but bomb at the box office (like DREDD)

The trailer was interesting. Not quite sure why he looks like a member of Daft Punk though

16 years.

I remember it, because the week before, I'd popped Teletext on to check the news, and Mother Theresa had carked it. Didn't look until that Sunday morning....boom, Diana dead.

Not film worthy anyway. Not when we have actual monarchs who did things like build cannonettes into their armor or suffer from speech impediments.

[Mr Mystery]

She didn't like landmines, or child exploitation. So she had that going for her.


As opposed to everyone else at the time who made trillions selling landmines to children......

See this sort of thing (not you or your comment in particular) really grinds me gears.

Like when people said 'Jade Goody may have been a racist, violent moron, but hey, she ensured her kids would be looked after once she'd passed on. She was a great mother'.

NO. NO SHE WAS NOT. She was simply an adequate mother. She did what society kind of hopes a mother would do, namely love and nuture their kids, and provide for their future....

Though that of course has to be weighed up against the horror the kids will face when they see just what sort of a vile, pig ignorant scumbag their Mum was.....

This is england, we've made a surprising ammount of money selling landmines that blow up children.
Although the above is sadly true i refer you to my sig for any chance what i'm saying be taken even vaguely seriously.

[Psychosplodge]

And I thought I was the only one.

As a person? Sure she was a good mother and all that. But the cult of diana scares me. She was media savvy, and pretty manipulative, but made out to be utterly innocent and the victim....

I've been saying it since '97 and I was barely a teenager...

Landmines are a modern take on natural selection.

Eeesh that hurt my ears....

Why do people do this crap?

[Wolfshade]

Because it is "cool"

[Psychosplodge]

I don't know, but it made me lol.
Especially the bit where she's on fire...

[DrLove42]

I watched that Educating Yorkshire show on tv last night. Cameras in a common as muck yorkshire school. What some kids think is right and get up to was downright awful

[Psychosplodge]

Oh I had to turn that off, I was shouting the TV. Typical West Yorkshire there...

[Wolfshade]

I say blame the parents. This is perhaps why people should only be allowed to breed if the pass various tests.

[Psychosplodge]

+1

[DrLove42]

It was the girl complaining it wasn't fair to give her a new punishment for doing something she shouldn't have been doing because she didn't mind the old punishment.

These kids need slapping. ****e parenting for a lot of them.

[Wolfshade]

Yeah the detention vs isolation for smoking.

[Mr Mystery]

I say blame the parents. This is perhaps why people should only be allowed to breed if the pass various tests.

And according to the BBC, 2/3rds of Parents feel Schools should be teaching values.

Because you know, the parents can't be arsed.

[Wolfshade]

I bet if schools did teach values there would be outcry that they did not teach the right values... or ended up having to cover so many different points of view that the whole thing would be so wishy-washy that it would be useless.

[Mr Mystery]

Yup.

Total abdication of parental responsibility.

CHILDREN ARE NOT A LIFESTYLE CHOICE. They are small human beings who need to be nurtured, not ignored, by their parents.

Here's the article. Try not to put your screen through the bill, and then send the parents to the monitor (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-23929266)

[Wolfshade]

I think that there is a difference between teaching values and teaching values.

I think schools should instill values, or a culture but not necessarily teach it. That is it is a community and people conform to an expectation. For instance, holding doors for one another, being polite, punctual listening and respecting other people. These can all be taught from school, but cruicailly from any other form of social interaction.

Teachers are not loco parentis

[Deadlift]

Broke our nation, for no readily apparent reason. Ever since we've been an emotional wreck....

I don't know about being an emotional wreck, but I did get thrown out of the Elton John tribute concert for fighting :D

That's pretty much what we do. Or at least attempt to do. It is rendered largely pointless when that message is not reinforced at home.

Just read White Dwarf, Bethan Beynon-Hughes is leaving.:( One assumes it will go back to being male only.

yeah I just read that too, so soon :(

[Wildeybeast]

Just read White Dwarf, Bethan Beynon-Hughes is leaving.:( One assumes it will go back to being male only.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mind you, other than look pretty in the mag, she didn't really feature. No bat reps, no articles, no nothing. I wonder if she will carry on playing now she doesn't have too.

[Psychosplodge]

Just read White Dwarf, Bethan Beynon-Hughes is leaving.:( One assumes it will go back to being male only.

It's ok they'll get another female in hopefully.
But yeah I can't think of anything tagged as hers. The round up page will lose some of it's colour though :(

[eldargal]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Mind you, other than look pretty in the mag, she didn't really feature. No bat reps, no articles, no nothing. I wonder if she will carry on playing now she doesn't have too.

She was doing artsy things behind the scenes, I was rather hoping that as her army and hobby experience grew she'd get a battle report. It was also great to be able to flip open WD and point to a woman on staff when talking to my FFG RPG girlfriends who were a bit ambivalent about getting into the tabletop side of things. 'Look, even GW have a woman on the front line now' sort of thing.

[daboarder]

too be honest WD is quickly going back to its ad rag status

comparing last years CSM issue to this ones SM issue, its kinda sad, gone are the long articles, blanchitsu and the "kit bash" has become flavour of the month again as opposed to "hey this is awesome"

The battle report for the chaos release was an actual game whereas the BT report was the old "show up the new stuff" that they used to have.

It may be because it was teh marine launch but if its the same next month....sigh well it was nice while it lasted.

[eldargal]

This months is a bit dull I admit, but I thought they had been fairly decent on the whole.

[daboarder]

I keep finding myself flipping directly back to the last 2-3 pages where all the whitedwarf staff stuff is, thats where all the good stuff is, wish they would expand that section.

[Aenir]

Is anyone here a Roosterteeth fan? And if so, RWBY?

Gotta say Nora is my fav character! And the weapon is awesome!

Close 2nd is Yang and the shotgun guantlets

[daboarder]

Nope Ruby is the bomb...but nora is funny, a grenade launcher hammer, didn't see that one coming.

[Aenir]

Nope Ruby is the bomb...but nora is funny, a grenade launcher hammer, didn't see that one coming.

I honestly expected a its hammer time pun based on her character in the last episode

Ruby is ok, but i prefer overtly silly!

*boop*

[daboarder]

I wont lie, I did actually laugh at that....and I don't normally find that "cookie" type funny.

[Aenir]

To each their own i guess, but i honestly think that team JNPR will end up being much more popular when all is said and done. They seem a bit more...fun i guess, Jaune is cool, gotta feel for the guy, Pyrrha seems interesting and then you have the Nora /Ren dynamic (henceforth called the sloth dynamic)

[daboarder]

I kinda like how it seems like pyrrha totally has the hots for jaune...and yet he is completely oblivious....

[Aenir]

I think hes aware just at loss for what to do, because he seems to like Blake

Its also nice to see a classic sword n board with no transformation

[daboarder]

you mean weiss don't you?

And does anyone know why yang and ruby have completely different names?

[Aenir]

you mean weiss don't you?

And does anyone know why yang and ruby have completely different names?

Crap, yeah, total brain fart there

I dunno, adopted? Maybe yang is a half sister or changed her name?

[DarkLink]

Opening theme is pretty awesome, too.

[Wildeybeast]

'Look, even GW have a woman on the front line now' sort of thing.

As was I. At the risk of going all 'fake geek girl', I always felt that the fact she only started having anything to do with Warhammer was when she got the job meant that this was never more than just a job for her (not that that is a criticism) and as such I'm not surprised she is moving on.

[eldargal]

I think that's a fair assessment, but a lot of people who join GW like that get hooked and she seemed to as well.

[Mr Mystery]

So I caved in and bought the new Marine codex today.

It's rather good you know!

True story, flip-flops/sandals aren't called "thongs" here. Probably something to do with it being uncomoftable to have the thon between the toes while wearing ankle length socks...

Today for the first time in a long time I didn't get serenaded as I entered the office, I feel sad :(

Did he get his big flag?

[Mr Mystery]

James Blunt, now claiming to have averted WW3 by refusing an order.

He really is a total James Blunt, that James Blunt.

[Wolfshade]

Yes.

Also really getting into Skyrim, my high elf now uses magic rather than the biggest warhammer I could find, though I did smack a dragon in the face with it...

It is slightly tedious, complete a dudgeon/area then go back with companion fill up our inventories, fast walk to traders sell the goods, then repeat twice untill area is bare or traders have ran out of gold.

[Psychosplodge]

I'm sure I've heard him say that before, either on topgear or some talk show.

[Mr Mystery]

Can't we just make him go away? It's not like he's welcome any more. Turned up, whined for a bit, sodded off.

Guess he must have a new album of whining out soon.

He really does whine more than Whineseer.

[Psychosplodge]

Dunno. He's another one where all his "songs" sound the same.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Day off is tasty.

BORED NOW.

Got three things in for marking. No point going further at this time.

One has been in since Friday....

Oh dear, TDA is frozen, someone turn him off and on again while applying percussive maintenance

[Wolfshade]

Well I am now dual casting some fire, and shouting. Though I still love to sneak up and arrow people in the back, then switch to twin fire charge and gout!

Need to increase my carry weight for all the ancient nord warhammer/battleaxe/longswrod and armour.

I also like selling cabbages and potatos.

[Wolfshade]

No, though I did find a pickaxe the other day and I found I could convert all of my iron ore to gold ore, though I am not sure how to make ignots, maybe need to level up my smithing.

Also collecting every random flower, mushroom, butterfly and mushing them all up together in alchmey. After another failed potion the shop owner said to me "I think you should leave now", she was right.

Yep. Southbound M25 was dead on Friday.

Meant I got home in good time :p

[Wolfshade]

M25 is circular how do you have a southbound?

[Mr Mystery]

You head out of Essex, you're southbound. Well. if you use the Bridge.

[Wolfshade]

Ah you see, I was thinking you meant the otherside where the M40, M1 meet it. Ho-hum

[Mr Mystery]

Nah.

Oh, and quite possibly the most odious little weasel in Westminster, William Hague, claims that the US and UK are aligned on Syria (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24012244).

Apart from the fact, you know, we're keeping out of this one in terms of fisticuffs.

[Wolfshade]

US acting against Assad is unfortunately equivalent to US acting with Al-Qaeda which I am not sure the US really want to do ideologically speaking.

[Mr Mystery]

Bit old and that (http://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/feb/12/advertising.food) but a well written article desconstructing that insufferable bint's mental claims.

Seriously. The bit about chlorophyll...genius. Her nonsense is akin to tribal beliefs that eating the heart of an Ox makes you stronger and so on.

Silly cow.

[Wolfshade]

In the same guise I think medics should stop calling themselves doctor, unless they actually have a doctorate, not just a bachelor of medicine.

[Wolfshade]

Oh dear, this would have been better if they had not mentioned methane in your gut. It is actually a rarity to have the right cultures in your gut to produce methane, indeed it is as much as 1 in 10, better would have been hydrogen which is universal, and far more explosive than methane.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

In the same guise I think medics should stop calling themselves doctor, unless they actually have a doctorate, not just a bachelor of medicine.

I'm an Apothecary.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm an adjudicator with an inquisitorial mandate. And a mentor. So there. Nyeh.

[eldargal]

Aw but then I won't be able to taunt most medical doctors by pointing out that my title is more than a courtesy. Puncture there silly little middle class egos.

[Psychosplodge]

but don't medical Drs become Mr./Mrs. by the time they become entitled to Dr properly?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm an adjudicator with an inquisitorial mandate. And a mentor. So there. Nyeh.

I am a member of Kill-Team Hyperion. Trusted by the Chapter Master with the Black Level mission of destroying the Pirates in the north of the Jericho Reach by infiltrating a Renegade Space Marine Chapter.

[Mr Mystery]

I think you're thinking of Surgeons.

You're not allowed to call yourself a Dr in the UK unless you have a UK recognised Doctorate?

Unless of course you're The Doctor. In which case you do what you bloody well please. And usually with an attractive young lady in tow!

[eldargal]

I thought they could call themselves a doctor after finishing their medical training but not necessarily doing post-graduate stuff?

Edit: M.D. gets you the doctor title, but you can practise medicine prior to that with the Bachelor of Medicine and call yourself a doctor? That's what I was told anyway, lot of the proper Doctors at university were miffed about it.

[Wolfshade]

One university society I was a member of has an annual dinner and dance, over the last 10 years there has been a huge row between the medics and the proper doctors about who was allowed to be called Dr on the seating plans.
One extreme year someone tipexed out the Drs from the medics, another year someone added any other honorifics they could think of, (a large number of the past members hold honarary titles).
Last year, the only titles that were used were Mr, Mrs, Revd. and then letters after names were used.

[eldargal]

Yup, she's a fraud.

One thing that bugs me is how even people who know I have a doctorate still call me Miss or Ms when they always call male staff by their appropriate title. Really pisses me off. That's the only time I insist on people using the title apart from putting medical doctors in their place.

[Wolfshade]

A chap the other night was wearing a T-shirt that had something like "Tardis Transport: For when a parcel must arrive before it was sent".

I like the German system whereby you reference each title, so if you had two doctorates you would be referred to as "Doctor Doctor Jones"

[Psychosplodge]

GW are working on time travel it seems. my space marine codex has not yet been dispatched, but has arrived anyway...

I hope mine manages that then...


Does that mean we have to call you Doctor Eldargal from now on?

Not Dr. Gal?

[eldargal]

Does that mean we have to call you Doctor Eldargal from now on?

Nope, like I said I don't insist on it except under certain circumstances which don't come up on BoLS. Such as a professional setting where it is relevant, when someone is being uppity or if someone asks 'Miss or Mrs' because **** having my honorific depend on my relationship to a man.
