Looking for an MMO? Try LoTRO

Posted on 2011-03-16 at 20:23 by Doppelbock

I returned to the Lord of the Rings Online MMO a last fall when it went free to play. Luckily I was grandfathered in as a Premium member since I used to subscribe a few years ago. The content has … Continue reading →

Yes I’m Playing LoTRO again

Posted on 2010-11-14 at 14:59 by Doppelbock

Yes, it’s true. Now that Lord of the Rings Online has gone Free to Play (F2P) I have started playing again. The pricing model works very well for me since I don’t put in as many hours per month as … Continue reading →

I actually completed another video game

Posted on 2010-07-21 at 05:34 by Doppelbock

I’m a little impressed, I actually completed playing Borderlands last night. I think that’s only about the second game that I’ve actually finished (the other being Half-Life 2). I did it on Normal difficulty and only had to Google a … Continue reading →

Exemplar Errants Assembly

Posted on 2010-07-06 at 22:25 by Doppelbock

My Knights Exemplar Errants are going to be very strong on the battlefield but getting them there is going to be challenging. They are a pain in the butt due to the large part count on each model. I built … Continue reading →

Seamus & Sybelle Assembly

Posted on 2010-07-06 at 20:46 by Doppelbock

That last Seamus shot was very small after cropping from the camera so here’s one of him after assembly as well as Madame Sybelle. Yes, she’s an overweight undead madame from a cathouse. Shooting raw pewter is sketchy, the high … Continue reading →

Seamus Assembly

Posted on 2010-07-05 at 15:36 by Doppelbock

I finally got going on my Malifaux figures today. I started with Seamus since he looked relatively easy: one hand w/toolbag to glue to his wrist. Turns out I had to pin it since there was so little contact area.

Posted on 2010-06-08 at 20:07 by Doppelbock

Well my first model purchase (since I got the book a couple of weeks ago). I had my LGS order me the Red Chapel Gang and the Miners & Steamfitters Union boxed sets. I wanted to be able to demo … Continue reading →

Dice Overload in WFRP

Posted on 2009-09-05 at 08:10 by Doppelbock

I’m not sure whether to be horrified at the complex mechanics or excited at so many dice. Apparently the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay game has seven completely different kinds of dice. You have a different colored dice pool for different functions, … Continue reading →

Posted on 2009-08-30 at 17:04 by Doppelbock

Yes, I’ve finally branched out. I have been playing a Protectorate of Menoth army (Warmachine) for over a year and decided that for my second faction I would go with the Legion of Everblight (Hordes). I found a second-hand army … Continue reading →

Little Wheel

Posted on 2009-08-30 at 15:06 by Doppelbock

Wow Little Wheel has got to be the most stylish Flash game I’ve ever seen. Great story and the setting/atmosphere was awesome. Too bad it’s a one-shot game, once you finish it there’s not really a reason to play again. … Continue reading →

LOLcaptions: the game

Posted on 2009-08-30 at 13:59 by Doppelbock

I ran across LOLcaptions over at Kongregate today. For some reason I really enjoy stupid image macros, don’t ask me why. In this game you join a room with other players and create captions for random photos on flikr, then … Continue reading →

Warmachine Sept. 2008 pictures

Posted on 2009-07-14 at 21:00 by Doppelbock

I got really bad about posting my Warmachine work in progress (WIP) photos over the last nine months or so. I would take the pictures but then never crop them to post. Here’s a few from September 2008 showing my … Continue reading →
