Well we're coming upon another historic decision point in congress. The dreaded Debt Limit. What Mr. Geithner and the majority of economists are warning us about is that when the USA has reached it's legal borrowing limit it will have to default on it's obligations. This will ruin the USA's...

I'm sitting in my cubicle right now and overhearing a ridiculous set of statements. According to a 54 year old woman who weighs well over 300 pounds (I'm in Alabama, remember) eating pizza sauce with every meal will shrink away your muffin top in no time. She then backs up her claim with...

Hey guys, In the last few months I've discovered the startling joy of baking my own bread. Mixing, Kneading, and Baking to be precise. I'm one of those guys that used to always buy the generic loaves of bread from the grocery store that will last 2 months without growing mold. (a puzzling...

There are a lot of good recommendations and articles for how to tackle cool greys, but I'm trying to put down a french grey on a Tau Devilfish. The panels are fairly large, so a smooth transition is both necessary and being a pain for me. Does anyone have a good 5 color progression for a...

One more date in the deluge of civilization ending dates has cropped up. The end of the world is approaching for the nth time this millenium. May 21st marks the Judgement Day according to the Project Caravan movement in the United States of America. History has plenty of doomsayers in stock...

Hey all! My gaming group has asked that I DM a game in D&D 4.0 in a month, and I'm going about with my world building. The trouble is it takes me far too long to chew out all of the details for my cities. Occupants, saleable items, mapping...it just seems to take forever. Do you guys know...

With all the demonstration, protesting, and revolution burning through the world right now what do you think the outlook is going to be? Are things turning for the better (for whom?), or is the world going to hell in a hand basket? (for whom?) I figured it would be worth asking all of you...

Alright, let's liven up this section of the board then. What's your favorite piece of fluff for an army? Blood, gore, treachery, idiocy, compassion, or whatever else it is doesn't matter. It could be from Dan Abnett books or Codexes or whatever your little heart can find. For instance...

I'm going to run an experiment. In your opinion which army is the most gimped out there? I want to take a 1,000 point force of it and try and beat some of the players at the LGS using whatever ridiculous tactics I can dream up. Let's hear it. Which army sucks beyond all others? My...

Just found out today, and I didn't see any recent threads on it. Brian Jacques of the beloved children's book "Redwall" series died. February 5th he suffered an aortic aneurysm. The wife became quite torn up over it. Just thought I'd pass the sad news along. Have a pint of ale for him, eh?

Hey everyone, I've been dealing with a few players who sport Inquisition assassins lately. Namely the Vindicare, and the Eversor (sp?). I've looked through the books and have been wondering, are they really ever worth it? Have any of you had any success fielding specialized assassins from...

I play Tau, and I keep a unit of Fire Warriors with Pulse Carbines in stock in case I face certain armies. But when it comes to Space Marines is there even a point in fielding anything that causes pinning? Can they be affected by it? I'm so unfamiliar with SM, mainly because I despise their...

My hobby shop in Montgomery is doing a weird promotion and was wondering if anyone else is seeing this. GW armies of 750 points are being sold with a 20% discount on two conditions. 1) The player has to participate in a store tournament that starts sunday. The discount is on friday. 2) All...

It's the closing day of Hanukkah, and in the spirit of the season of jubilation I just wanted to wish all of you out there: Shalom, and Happy Hannukah! Merry Christmas! Peaceful Yuletide! Have a joyous solstice! Assalaamu Alaikum! The Force be with you Or any other religious/cultural greeting...

The wife and I have been talking and we're both fairly desperate to get the hell out of Montgomery Alabama and far away from either sets of our families. We've thought of several options, and one of the most appealing would be to move to Canada. It wouldn't be for a couple years. (she needs to...
