Happy weekend everyone,

My pledge for this weekend will be to prime and get the colour scheme set on a practice model for my Shadespire Chosen Axes. I always like to try out colour schemes on something else before committing on such a small force. At the same time I want to document my processes for this project as I often forget to or get a certain point and then forget to do a stage photo.

(1) Have you ever played dungeons and dragons? If not, why? If so, tell us what you like about it.

Yes, although it must be at least 25 years since I have. I always loved the monsters in it and the character generation. I think everyone is praying to the dice gods when they roll for a new character. I also like that in the following years I have come across more and more of the monsters in other games as they have become mainstream.

(2) Recommend me a podcast

Okay this didn’t start great as I had to look up the meaning of the word podcast. Luckily there is a one that I like which fits the criteria. The Joe Rogan Experience, its a night time show in the USA which does have swearing in it as well. It covers all sorts of subject matter and also has a video feed too so if you want a taster check out some of the clips on Facebook to see if it is for you.

(3) What sequel to a movie have you preferred over the previous instalment.

Let me first send us into muddy waters and then swim back to shore.

I prefer Return of the Jedi to Empire Strikes Back and swim, swim, swim.

I prefer Chronicles of Riddick to Pitch Black and to throw in a third one I am going to go with Terminator 2 to Terminator.

I would like to point out at this point that I really do like all these movies though.

(4) What do you find irritating about a youtube video or podcast that covers a subject you like? Stereotypical nerd obnoxiousness, pacing, camera focus, or poor editing/syntax/diction/dictation

The biggest one for me is probably the easiest one to spot and that is when the host/hosts are too over the top and forcing themselves to act excited and over energetic. Fine when your entertaining little kids but not so much for adults.

(5) Omelette of choice.

Ham and cheese, I am a pretty boring food guy but I do like a nice omelette 🙂
