1. Age of Kickstarter

Oathsworn’s Heroines in sensible shoes 2. This was the Kickstarter that got me back into minis and the painting hobby and as such I consider the point that I got over my previous the disappointment at getting burned. It might not be the most exciting Kickstarter I ever backed but it planted the seeds that led back round to Massive Darkness, Burrows & Badgers and W40k.

2. Music. Music everywhere

So long as we agree to keep the genre’s nice and broad (such as just Metal rather than arguing if such-and-such is Black Metal or Death Metal) the digital age lead to me listening to a lot more bands and sub-genres within the area that I liked. Things like Spotify, bandcamp, Sound Cloud and even YouTube allowed me to find bands that simply weren’t available to me in the previous decade of walking into HMV to look what was on the shelf.
Also… HMV. Remember when that was a thing?

3. Peak Entertainment

Kingdom Hearts. I make no apologies. It is hot, hot garbage garbage with a conspiracy theory level of complexity in its narrative and adds up to little more than a thinly veiling a glorified nostalgia fuelled tourism trip through all the films you knew as a kid… and I love it. 😛
Really looking forward to what Amazon do with the Wheel of Time series that’s been ordered (finally free of Red Eagle Media’s ungrateful mits) and praying they do a worthwhile job of it.
And there is always more to do than there is time to do it. My steam library and Netflix queue are proof of that alone.

Hoping to finish building my Chimera this weekend but I’ll be gone much of Saturday so we’ll see. I might even hope to move into the Leman Russ whilst I’m at it.
