My Video Game Challenge 2025

By

On 1st February 2025

In Blog

The past couple of years I have been participating in the VideoGameGeek.com challenge to beat a list of 10 video games.

I did ok last year and managed to get through 9 of them and a back up.

This year I have picked a reasonable mix of games that I am going to try and beat, and this is them

  1. Horizon Forbidden West – PS5
  2. Cyberpunk 2077 – Steam
  3. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate – Xbox
  4. Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China – Xbox
  5. Resident Evil HD – Steam
  6. Lego Batman – Steam – Completed
  7. Final Fantasy III – Pixel Remaster – Steam
  8. Borderlands – Steam
  9. Shadow of the Tomb Raider – Steam
  10. HλLF-LIFE – Steam

And the three on my backup list are

  1. Marvel’s Avengers – PS5
  2. Yakuza Kiwami – Steam
  3. High on Life – Steam

I am currently working on Resident Evil HD, and once I am done with Assassin’s Creed: Unity I will be moving to Horizon Forbidden West on stream.

I am already regretting Resident Evil HD, but I do plan on pushing through that next week a considerable chunk.

As for the rest, lets see!

What I Am Modelling

I got my next Lasrifle Section painted up for the Solar Auxilia

Pretty simple, just 20 guys all armed with Lasrifles, along with a Vox Interlock and Vexellia

Then I painted a trio of Medicae that I printed for them as well

These will accompany each of the Lasrifle Sections in my list plus the Command Squad

To carry them, I painted a Dracosan transport

I also painted up a couple of artillery carriage batteries for the Solar Auxilia that I printed, with both Earthshaker and Medusa Cannons available to it with a simple swap

I still need to sort out some crew for them however.

But I did get crew sorted for the Cyclops Demolition Vehicles, these are from the Grimguard Bomb Squads

And an Impulsor for the Dark Angels

So what’s coming up next?

  1. Blood Angels Land Speeder
  2. Ardboyz x 10
  3. Skragrot the Loonking and Rabble-Rowza
  4. Allurus Custodians x 3
  5. Rockgut Troggoth x 3
  6. Atheon Heavy Sentienls x 3
  7. Sisters Retributors x 5
  8. Ultramarines Terminators x 5
  9. Malcador Heavy Tank
  10. Swampboss Skumdrekk

What Tabletop Games I Am Playing

Myself, Lindsay and Megan played a game of Ticket to Ride: Berlin on last Thursday and I won my second game in a row with 49 points.

It was tight as Megan was only 2 points behind me, but I got lucky and had tickets worth 8 and 5 points, which required a long route to complete.

And last night we played DnD with Megan GMing for a change

What Video Games I Am Playing

Played a bit more Assassin’s Creed: Unity

Been playing Hell Let Loose with Graham and Chris on Monday nights which is a lot of fun

And continued with Resident Evil

What I Am Creating

The issue 5 Combat Patrol battle report was published

And the issue 6 one is already done too, which goes live on the 31st!

I published a shortform video, the first of many I hope Edge of Empire will publish, this one was mostly to learn techniques, and I must emphasise that I love Graham, he is amazing and whilst he plays powerful lists, he is far far from a WAAC player

hat I Am Spending

I saved up and put the money aside for the Death Korps of Krieg starter set to add to my existing Death Korps army

Looking forward to getting these painted up to give my army a few more options

I also picked up Combat Patrol Issue 20 with a Chaplain on a Bike

A Very Basic Driving Sim Rig, Very Basic

I have been wanting to get a wheel for playing racing games for quite a while, and identified the Logitech G920 as what would be ideal for me a while back, but alas at £200-£230 it’s still relatively expensive despite being a rather entry level device.

So I was keeping an eye out on eBay and Facebook Marketplace, I post a few auctions on eBay, and Facebook Marketplace has an issue with people listing things for a stupidly low price and having no intention of selling it for that, or being a straight up scammer saying they will ship it from a warehouse in the EU if I PayPal them the money as Friends and Family.

But I kept at it, and in mid November I managed to secure a deal on Facebook Marketplace, which involved a back alley knife fight (I jest), the G920 for £90, and the seller even threw in a Playseat Challenge PlayStation Edition which was supposed to cost £200 on its own!

So I was over the moon with that, we met the fella in the car park of the Burger King at Teeside Park at 10pm, and he pulled up in a dodgy looking Transit, I handed over the cash and he gave me the stuff, which we had to stuff into the back seat of our car, whilst fitting me in at the same time!

I got to use it quite a lot initially upstairs, and it was a heck of a learning curve, I am great on controller but this is gonna take a lot of learning!

To add to the experience, Lindsay and Megan got me the Logitech Driving Force Shifter for Christmas, to add the manual gear shift to make it a bit cooler and more realistic.

I haven’t had a lot of chance to play with it, but I got it setup with the Playseat after Christmas and did some driving round in Forza Horizon 5, which was so much fun!

And before publication I got it all set up in Euro Truck Simulator 2 as part of my plans to regularly stream some of that.

Started the training for the game, and will be getting ready to start streaming a week Wednesday

What I Am Modelling

I started by painting the first Malcador for my Solar Auxilia

And finally Karazai the Scarred for my Stormcast Eternals

After that I painted some Heavy Intercessors that I had 3D printed

Plus a Lieutenant for them as well, armed with a Plasma Pistol and Power Sword

Alongside a Librarian in Terminator Armour from Combat Patrol

And another Librarian in Terminator Armour, but this one was joining the Ultramarines

After that I finished my Paragon Warsuits for the Sister of Battle, with these Heavy Flamer armed ones

I am now currently working on a 20 man Lasrifle Section for my Solar Auxilia

So what’s up next?

  1. Blood Angels Landspeeders
  2. Lasrifle Section x 20 & Medicae x 3
  3. Dark Angels Impulsor
  4. Ardboyz x 10
  5. Skragrot the Loonking & Rabble-Rowza
  6. Allarus Custodians x 3
  7. Rockgut Troggoths x 3
  8. Atheon Heavy Sentinels x 3
  9. Retributors x 5
  10. Ultramarines Terminators x 5

What I Am Reading

I finished Fabius Bile: Primogenitor by Josh Reynolds, an interesting listen, and I will be tackling the next two in short order!

I then listened to some Doctor Who audios, starting with Caerdroia by Lloyd Rose, and The Next Life by Alan Barnes, which finished off the whole universe without time arc, which I am very glad of, because that wasn’t all that enjoyable.

And finally The Juggernauts by Scott Alan Woodward, which was a lot of fun, 6 and Mel are very good together!

I am also currently slowly making my way through Eidolon: The Auric Hammer by Marc Collins.

What Tabletop Games I Am Playing

On Tuesday night I played a game of Ticket to Ride Paris with Megan and Lindsay

And I won with 33 points, just 1 point ahead of Megan!

Alas Lindsay was very ill so I had to cancel 🙁

But rescheduled for this coming Friday.

What Video Games I Am Playing

I completed LEGO Batman: The Videogame on the Steam Deck, which was ok, but I think I the lack of achievements didn’t serve my ADHD or need for constant validation any good!

Played some more Assassin’s Creed: Unity on stream.

And started on Resident Evil (2002)

I also spent a bit of time in the Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II Pixel Remasters, just clearing up the last of the achievements, getting them to 100%

What I Am Spending

I ordered 3KG of Resin for the printer, although it’s been a bit too cold to print at the minute

And because of the cold, Lindsay leant me the money to buy the mini heater for the printer, which has been amazing and is allowing me to print again!

I am now printing off some Earthshaker Carriage Batteries for my Solar Auxilia.

We also upgraded our DakBoard to a touchscreen, which is a lot easier to use than the old one.

I had to reinstall the DakBoard operating system on the Raspberry Pis MicroSD card, which was annoying, but other than that, its worked like a charm!

Still need to cable manage it however!

In the last days of the Steam sale, I picked up

And it was also Humble Choice so I got the following

Our Christmas

By

On 9th January 2025

In Uncategorised

Below is our living room Christmas tree this year, one thing that myself, Lindsay and Megan have been doing, well ever since I moved out of my parents, is to have no repeated baubles. My mum was always one for uniformity on the tree and I have found that to be super bland.

So for years, me and Lindsay, and later Megan when she moved in with us, have been buying unique ornaments and baubles each year, and we have now such a decent selection of ornaments that we have no duplicates.

This tree is the one we have in our living room and is usually reffered to as the geeky tree as it contains all our ornaments from various fandoms and stuff. These baubles have come from a variety of places, from the Disney Store, Debenhams, Primark, Etsy and right down to Poundland. And of recent some 3D printing, this year we added a Tardis and an Eldar Scrolls ornament that I printed. We also have a small selection of Warhammer models which got painted gold and a bit of string put through them to turn them into baubles!

There is also a large amount of Disney decorations too, most of which were inherited from Lindsay and Megan’s family collections, these are beautiful, I must admit I would prefer the tree without them, but hey I am just one of three. But we do have enough Disney decorations that we could genuinely have a tree of just Disney stuff!

The dining room is host to a more grown up tree with the traditional style of decorations, which is lovely and exactly the same with unique non-repeating baubles, but its far less fun!

I got a few nice presents, to add to the driving rig, I got a Logitech Driving Force Shifter, which was purchased on Prime Day for me!

I also got a couple of board games, Ticket to Ride Paris from Paul, Unlock Adventures, which includes scenarios from Ticket to Ride, Pandemic and Mysterium from Emma, also from Paul a box, some dice and a notepad for RPG playing and a sign about my Dumbfuckery, Jane and Geoff got me a new desk mat, a Warhammer 4ok one, and from Lindsay’s father I got a hat and gloves.

Of course the best present was my Lynx Africa set!

In my stocking I also got the servo skull palette which on reflection is actually pretty cool!

My VideoGameGeek Secret Santa got me a nice £20 worth of vouchers for Steam, so I was able to grab a few cool things from my wish list, those being

But pretty much as soon as Christmas was done, I was out for the count with a nasty lergy and spent most of a week and a bit in bed feeling very sorry for myself!

What I Am Modelling

I got finished the Dread Pageant at long last for Direchasm

Plus the third Leman Russ Vanquisher

And a Leman Russ Command Tank

So whats next?

  1. Blood Angels Land Speeders
  2. Karazai
  3. Paragon Warsuits with Heavy Flamers x 3
  4. Lasrifle Section x 20
  5. Dark Angles Impulsor
  6. Ardboyz x 10
  7. Skragrot the Loonking & Rabble-Rowza
  8. Allarus Custodians x 3
  9. Rockgut Troggoths x 3
  10. Atheon Heavy Sentinels x 3

Finally Made It To Suffolk

By

On 25th December 2024

In Blog

On our fourth attempt, myself and Lindsay actually made it to Suffolk to visit my family.

We went at the beginning of the month, stopping at Nottingham so that Lindsay could do a days work in her office, she hasn’t gotten down there since the Pandemic.

So I was dumped in Warhammer World for the day, where I spent it working on the Solar Auxilia Army Focus article for the Edge of Empire website.

Luckily Lindsay’s office has free BEV charging points so she took advantage and charged the car to 100% getting us 250km of range, which is decent for the time of year.

We were about an hour later than planned due to a number of accidents that took us off the motorway, but made it with 14 miles left in the tank. Had some lasagna then off to bed.

After spending the morning with my mum and dad, we nipped out to charge the car, and have a bite to eat in McDonalds, before picking up three of the nibblings.

We then took them to Wendy’s in Colchester for lunch and played some mini golf in Hollywood Bowl.

After which we returned them home, and went to my parents where we enjoyed some fajitas!

And on Sunday we headed him, it was a super short trip, but we really needed to see my mum and I am really glad I did

What I Am Modelling

It’s been a tough few weeks due to the cold, and personal stuff, so not gotten a lot done

I started out with the Dwarf Fleet for Kings of War Armada

Then I painted up a squad of Phalax Warders for the Imperial Fists, this squad being fully 3D printed

I also painted up a table for Megan to decorate the Christmas cake with

And a character for my Word Bearers who can act as a Librarian, Diabolist or Esoterist

Next up I painted another Christmas Decoration, a Skyrim one!

Then my first Trench Crusade models, a pair of Communicants!

Then it was back to Christmas decorations with a The Luggage ornament for my sister-in-laws Christmas tree.

Then I expanded my UCM fleet for Dropfleet Commander with these Lysander Stealth Lighters

Followed by some Malcadors for my Legions Imperialis Solar Auxilia, the previous ones were to be frank, shit, so these were printed to replace those, its a much better set of STLs

And for the larger Solar Auxilia, some Cyclops Demolition Vehicles that I printed off, I really liked this STL, and think they will be super cool, if massively ineffective on the table!

After losing Smokey, I wanted to paint this STL I got from a Kickstarter last year in tribute to him, so I did, and we ended up with CyberSmokey, which is being put on the Christmas Tree.

I also painted a third Carnodon Tank for my Solar Auxilia to give me a full squadron for them!

After that I turned my attention to to a Snatchaboss on Sludgeraker Beast got it finished up.

So what’s next in my Painting list

  1. Blood Angels Land Speeders
  2. Karazai
  3. Paragon Warsuits with Heavy Flamers
  4. The Dread Pageant
  5. Calth High Guard Lasrifle Section x 10 & Command Section x 4
  6. Dark Angels Impulsor
  7. Ardboyz x 10
  8. Skragrot the Loonking & Rabble-Rowza
  9. Allarus Custodians x 3
  10. Rockguy Troggoth x 3

What Video Games I Am Playing

Been playing more Assassin’s Creed Unity

What I Am Creating

We published the latest episode of Edge of Empire, the last for the year.

What I Am Spending

At Warhammer World, I bought myself a Rabble-Rowza for the Gloomspite Gitz

To convert some mini planes to Legions Imperialis, I bought two packs of Flying Bases from Warhammer World

A big purchase was buying Grahams old telly, a 65” LG Nanocell TV and boy is it amazing, best TV I have ever owned and it makes all sorts of media just look so bloody good!

We also got an LED strip to run round the back of it to use as bias lights

I also bought Lieutenant Titus for my Ultramarines, which came with a £10 voucher, which I will be putting towards a Malcador for my Solar Auxilia

Speaking of the Solar Auxilia, I ordered a Leman Russ Strike Tank, which will be built as a Command Tank with a Battlecannon, I also got a pit of Fanatic Matt White, which I desperately needed, and to make it up tit he free postage, I got a MKIII Command Squad for the Imperial Fists

Also for the Solar Auxilia I got an Aethon Heavy Sentinel to make up a full squad of three of them, plus a drybrush

And I topped up my resin supply with another 4kg of Sunlu ABS like in Dark Grey

I got a few little bits in the Steam sale

Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 5th December – Write Like the Wind (George R. R. Martin) – Paul & Storm

By

On 5th December 2024

In Nerdy Music Advent

How long has it been since we got a Song of Ice and Fire book, and will George R. R. Martin complete the series in his lifetime, and will it wipe out the disappointment of the last season of Game of Thrones!

That is exactly what Paul & Storm are asking here

Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 4th December – BiTrektual – Aurelio Voltaire

By

On 4th December 2024

In Nerdy Music Advent

Its been a couple of years since our good friend Aurelio Voltaire was featured and still, he is hard to classify, he really does transcend genres!

Oh and Paul likes him after I introduced him!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 3rd December – Robots – Flight of the Conchords

By

On 3rd December 2024

In Nerdy Music Advent

STUPIDLY FORGOT TO HIT THE PUBLISH BUTTON SO THIS IS A DAY LATE

Flight of the Conchords, formally New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo, somehow have managed to not be featured here before, and I am rectifying this today!

This song Robots imagines a future in which all the humans are dead and the robots have taken over the world, and well with the development of AI, this might really happen sooner rather than later!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 2nd December – Zelda Jiggle – K-Face Rules

By

On 2nd December 2024

In Nerdy Music Advent

I grew up in the UK so Nintendo wasn’t really a big thing for us other than the Game Boy, the first Nintendo I personally owned was a Nintendo 64 for Goldeneye!

So my first exposure to Zelda was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which I did enjoy, but I didn’t have the same attachment to it as people who grew up with the series.

But the series has grown on me with subsequent releases, though I still have Breath of the Wild on my to play list.

So this song doesn’t quite hit all the nostalgia bits for me, but its still fun to listen to!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2024 – 1st December – Wreck It, Wreck It Ralph! – Buckner & Garcia

By

On 1st December 2024

In Nerdy Music Advent

This duo is best known for Pac-Man Fever, both the song and album, which were possible the first video game songs to really go mainstream back before I was even born!

This song was written and recorded for the amazing Disney film Wreak It Ralph which was such a joy to watch with all of its amazing video game references.

The overall soundtrack from the film is utterly amazing, Henry Jackman really captures the Chiptune lighting in a bottle.

If you have never seen Wreak It Ralph, I urge you to go do so now, drop everything you won’t regret it!

We Lost Smokie, Which Was Rough

By

On 29th November 2024

In Blog

We lost our beloved Smokie, he was only with us three months, but that little spicy bean made quite the impression on us.

After Fireworks Night, the stress of all the noises triggered herpes, which 80% of all cats have, it normally lies dormant unless they get very ill or feel a lot of stress.

Unfortunately what we learned was that he suffered from a nasty auto immune disorder which meant that to deal with the herpes, his white blood cells were attacking his entire body.

It quickly destroyed his eyes, leaving him blind and then decimated his red blood cell count. The vets tried their hardest to save him, we cannot fault him.

We had intended to visit my mum the weekend he died, but we decided to stay with him, and I glad we did, he had a nice last day, lots of cuddles, he ate tuna from my stottie, pretty much half of it, and then after a nice meal and some milk, he sat down and, well he let us know it was time.

We drove him round and they agreed that despite all the medication and treatment, there was noting else they could do and the best decision was to let him go.

It was very peaceful, but as you can guess, it was also very painful, the little dude was such a beautiful and wilful boy and he was really starting to come round to us.

We are going to miss him very much and I won’t lie, its left us all feeling pretty crap.

Other Stuff

A few other things happened over the weeks, but I am gonna expand on them later on, I mangled to get a racing wheel for my PC/Xbox which was cool but for the most part its been pretty quiet, we have all just been very sad

I did get my BoardGameGeek Secret Santa delivered, which was the wonderful San Juan, a secondhand copy but that’s cool, Wingspan European Expansion and Ticket to Ride France/Old West.

The Battleground show in Middlesbrough last weekend was great, they hosted us playing a big game of Horus Heresy with many many points aside, the Loyalists had four of my Knights and my Warhound Titan, the Traitors had a fair few Super Heavy tanks and a few knights too

What I Am Modelling

I started off with a pair of Domicile Shells from Stormbringer, these are going to be sorted out in the next few weeks with my current AoS terrain to give me two boxes of terrain, one for the Friday Night Wargames club, and one for my house

After that I turned my attention to an Assault Squad for my Heresy Ultramarines

And an Invictor Tactical Warsuit for their Space Wolves to complete their Combat Patrol

I took a bit of time to finish some more bits, starting with this printed Death Guard Dreadnought, that I am going to be using as a Helbrute

And Gamers@Hart asked me to paint their Death Guard Kill Team for the store demo set

And finally I painted some Solar Auxilia tanks that I printed for Legions Imperialis!

After that I painted this pair of Carnodons armed with all Volkite for my Solar Auxilia army, getting close to having everything for Heresy Camp done, vehicle wise.

I am going to print a third one of these next year for the overall army

Then I painted the Infernus Sgt from Combat Patrol up for the Ultramarines

Followed by a Tyranid Prime with Wings from the magazine as well

And for the whole Christmas thing that’s coming up, a TARDIS tree ornament that I printed up

After that, some more mini tanks, this time the standard Battlecannon armed Leman Russ tanks for the Legions Imperialis Solar Auxilia

I also had to do a repair job on this Iron Warriors breacher, in the studio refurb he managed to lose his Bolter and Backpack, so I printed off replacements for him, think I need to do more with this army at some point

And finally these Von Ryan’s Leapers to complete the Insidious Infectors Combat Patrol

Whats coming up next then?

  1. Blood Angels Land Speeders (Can’t Find Them)
  2. Paragon Warsuits x 3 (Sprue Issue)
  3. Karazai
  4. The Dread Pagent
  5. Phallax Warder Squad x 10
  6. Snatchboss on Sludgeraker Beast
  7. Calth High Guard Lasrifle Section x 10 & Command Section x 4
  8. Dark Angels Impulsor
  9. Ardboyz x 10
  10. Skragrot the Looking

What Tabletop Games I Am Playing

Had a game of Heresy on Friday against Dave down at the Friday Night Wargames club.

Played with my Imperial Fists with some allied Solar Auxiilia against his Word Bearers and it was a close game, came down to the last turn in which if I had killed just three more tactical marines I would have won by 2VP, but alas I lost by 1VP.

I also played a game against Graham at Durham Raiders, and well hell froze over and I beat him 11-8, to be fair my list was a bit tasty and the destruction of his Kytan took out a whole unit of Ursurax, which helped me no end!

What Video Games I Am Playing

Some more Space Marine 2 Operations were played this week

And I started a playthrough of Assassin’s Creed: Unity

What I Am Creating

We published the latest episode of Edge of Empire

What I Am Backing

I have joined a group buy for the Trench Crusade Kickstarter, the models look rad, and we are backing at the +HERESIARCH+ pledge level!

What I Am Spending

I bought the latest edition of Combat Patrol for a Terminator Librarian to join the Dark Angels.

And due to the issues with Smokey, and the need to pay his vet bills, I am no longer going to upgrade my PC to AM5, and instead have returned the B650 board and will be ordering a 5700X3D once the refund comes through, but in the meantime, I have bought some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut in preparation.

And whilst the refund took ages to come through, I did eventually get my 5700X3D which is now nicely fitted to my PC and its really nice in gaming!

I also got issues 12 and 13 to add a squad of Deathwing Terminators to the Dark Angels

No need for any more issues until Issue 20 when I plan to get hopefully a couple of the Chaplain on a Bike, one for the Dark Angels and one for the Blood Angels.

It was Humble Choice week, and this month it bagged me

And I also got in a mystery bundle, Dread X Collection.
