I’ve been using an airbrush for a while now. My Sylvaneth tree lord is the latest attempt and finally it all gelled. I switched brushes from the Badher Rage to the Chrome, and much prefer it. Siphon cups don’t seem to hold a huge advantage and there are risks (like it falling off…). Anyway. The…
The second ACT Pinball Championship is on this weekend. Last year went down very well with a good crowd and visitors from interstate. This year it’s on 20 August 2016, 10:00am – 4:00pm, and on Sunday 21 August 2016, 10:00am – 4:00pm at Exhibition Park. The lineup includes an ACDC Lucy, Tron LE, a Ghostbusters…
A long time ago battles raged access large swathes of fantasy land. Great armies rose and fell. High technology and magic were used to unleash devastation. As a kid, Warhammer was a bit complicated to play. I did however so a lot of painting of the miniatures. My key army was Eldar, space elves of the…
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to attend an “unboxing party” for a shiny new The Hobbit pinball machine. Limited edition no less! This is Jersey Jack’s second entry into the scene, with Wizard of Oz preceding it. I’m a huge fan of Woz.. If there’s a lineup that includes it, I will pick it…
What’s a Tripoli? Republicans reveal extent of America’s lack of comprehension of Lybian society. “With an extra dose of irony, according to the Benghazi report, the remaining Americans were rescued not by any of the “freedom fighters” Washington had supported, but by a remnant of Qaddafi loyalists.” Chris Stevens sister (and family spokesperson) does not…
As a PC gamer I’ve spent plenty of time listening to Chris Tilton’s music but missed out on his earlier work because the games were released on the PS2 and Xbox. Black (2006) had a significant following but as a PC gamer I never played it. As an action driven FPS it was no surprise to see…
The new Philips Hue app is just what was required. There are some key differences that make it easier to use that were maybe a bit overdue. When I first got the kit I did make note that the colour picking method was difficult because of the size of the drop pins and that you…
Guild of Ambience returns with an hour-long nautical soundscape. This is what it sounds like to spend some time in the captain’s cabin of a pirate ship. Har yee!
Like seemingly millions of others, I too sunk many hours into the beta of Blizzard’s next upcoming game, Overwatch. I have become quite the fan of competitive team based shooters, perhaps solely due to Counter Strike: Global Offensive, so I thought I would voice my opinions of the game from a competitive perspective. First off,…
So there’s a guy called Dragol who sometimes has something to say. Generally he does this by yabbering away in his clan’s TeamSpeak channel. That necessarily means that his audience is limited. And maybe some of those who hear his message aren’t appreciative of it. The solution, I realised, was to give him a proper…
A solid sequel with numerous welcome additions and changes, particularly mod support. XCOM 2 is superior and an overall upgrade to the first of the rebooted XCOM series and should serve to be highly enjoyable for those who were a big fan of vanilla XCOM 1, though poor performance is a concern. Despite the advancements,…
