If you are a person of a certain age, and we’re into Warhammer then this is a band you will be very familiar with!
Good old Bolt Thrower, a band so intertwined with the history of Games Workshop, it’s hard to imagine this being a staple of the stores of my youth!
Makes a change from the Lord of the Rings soundtracks most stores play these days doesn’t it!
This plague continues to vex me, and so another three days need to be squeezed into one 🙁
Anyway here is an awesome battle song by Alexander James Adams that has been around for flippin donkeys and is utterly amazeballs!
For my Warhammer fans out there, it’s often used in fanon as the battle hymn of the Tanith First and Only!
So go check it out my friends!
Today I am sick as a plaguebearer who has been blessed a hell of a lot by papa Nurgle, so I am probably not going to be able to do this wonderful piece the justice it deserves.
But here, enjoy, Star Trek good, song great!, good Taylor Swift parody!
Well, Christmas is almost with us, and this year we are doing a quiet one.
With the loss of Mary, having loved house and money being tight due to stupidly high energy bills, it’s going to be a lot more restrained.
The girls are just getting a book and a donation to a local cat rescue, and I expect the same in return.
The biggest thing I think I have been involved in really is three Secret Santas, one for my game demonstrator friends, which was capped at £5, another for Board Game Geek, which was £35 and a third for Video Game Geek which was £15.
I got my GDN Santee a poster of retro game controllers through the years, my BGG one got a Back to the Future dice game, and my VGG target got Horizon Zero Dawn and Nickelodeon All Star Brawl.
I have gotten my BGG gift which was a copy of Arkham Horror, as I posted the other week, but have yet to hear back about the other two yet.
Hoping I will be feeling good, the past few weeks I have had a horrid cold that just won’t bugger off.
I painted 13 Kruleboyz Gutrippas this week, my first real attempt to get some Kruleboyz done for my Orruk Warclans army.
I then did a quick bit of work on my Sectors for Dropfleet Commander, super simple, but they do the job.
After that I started on some T’au Empire Crisis Suits and a Commander.
So what’s coming up next for me on the painting table?
I finished listening to The Extinction Key by Greg Keyes and it was okay, but the Aconyte stuff is far better.
Speaking of Aconyte books, I just finished Shadow Avengers by Carrie Harris and will have a review up tomorrow.
We got our delivery of the Avatar Legends RPG, but the books corners are all damaged as a result of very poor packing and sending it with Evri.
I have reported the issues and hopefully will get a replacement set of books in the new year.
I did manage to cook something for the first time in forever, a batch of my Kansas City BBQ Rocket Sauce, which has been distilled into bottles to give away as Christmas presents to friends and family.
I won a coupe of games from Wicked Uncle from a competition on Rachel Bustin’s website, a copy of This or That and a Glow in the Dark Push-n-Pop toy.
These are going into a box of things I have won, to be given next Christmas as presents to friends and family.
I grabbed a copy or Arena Mortis for Direchasm to add to my Underworlds collection.
I also bought a pack of UCM Destroyers for Dropfleet Commander, which I plan to build as Vancouver’s I think, the Launch capacity could be rather helpful.
As I mentioned last week, it seemed like the DisplayPort cable for my PC was buggered, so I ordered a new one, after the HDMI cable worked no problem.
And well it fixed the issue, so that’s great.
Another serious issue we have had in the house is Wi-Fi coverage, so we bit the bullet and invested in a mesh Wi-Fi system, the heating system is dependent on Wi-Fi and it just so happens that the boiler is in the part of the house with the weakest Wi-Fi.
So we bought this TP-Link Deco S7 system to replace to replace the Wi-Fi network on the Virgin Media provided router which is to be perfectly honest, pretty dreadful.
And yeah it seems to be fixed now and working wonderfully, it also helped that Virgin Media finally replaced the faulty router we have had to put up with for so long, and combined this has made a huge difference.
I am not sure why we have never featured MC Lars before, but this is a great song from 2006, and its all about the paradigm shift that my generation did in terms of going from buying physical music to downloading it, not always legally.
The video is great and has a lot of fun poking at the styles of the time and the way brands like Apple and Microsoft marketed music services and players at us.
Now I feel very old!
Lets head right back to the distant past of 1977 for a relatively old but classic piece of Filk, Banned from Argo.
This song was one of the first Filk songs I ever heard and I think I was about 6 or 7 and I thought it was quite funny then, I think perhaps I watched too much Star Trek at that age even, considering that there were only 79 episodes, and we only had very bad copies on a mix of BetaMax and VHS, that was quite a feat!
Anyway enjoy this absolute classic!
I am afraid recordings of this classic by Leslie, are difficult to find online which is a real shame, I hope one day that’s sorted out so we can continue to share this classic!
I think all of us who love videogames, think that the games of the past were much better than those made today, and yeah I think I fall into that catagory.
This is a great Nerdcore wrap by music producer turned rapper Richie Branson of his love of SquareSofts games of the past, and his wish for the old company to return in place of the SquareEnix we know today.
This is an interesting little song about two parents trying to explain religion to a curious child, and about learning what each faith beleives.
If you know me, you know I am a Baha’i, not a particularly good one, still a work in in progress, but like most others of my faith, I believe that its not immune from criticism and ridicule, and i often find songs like this to be very amusing.
But as we are a relatively small and young faith, we rarely get made fun of!
And catching us up, here is Meri Amber, a regular to the Advent with Xena, a song which is about being a strong woman, who get back up even when heartbroken.
And lets face it, Xena was better than Hercules, and in real life Lucy Lawless is the nicer person!
In this advent, I have yet to feature Weird Al Yankovich, and today, he only makes a cameo on a song by the incredible Nerf Herder.
This song is a great geek anthem, and is very very relatable!
