Wow, you'd think with Covid-19 staying #1 on the charts, I'd have lots of time to blog. And you would not be wrong. You'd also think I would have done some painting or gaming during all this time. Again, not wrong. So what the hell?
Well, I guess the simple answer is that so much has been going on, I keep forgetting to blog. I also tend to waste lots of blogging talking about the reasons why I'm not blogging much. I'm going to blame that one on Catholic guilt. :)
Minis:
Well, I have continued to work on my Chaos Space Marines. If I'm lucky, I will take some photos of the recent work and post them up. I did two oblits, the other greater possessed, and a bunch of CSM. It was over one of those hobby weekend getaways that I am fortunate to do every once in a while.
I sold all my Warmachine off. That was painful. Not painful because of losing the minis (well maybe just a little), but mostly because no one wanted the darn things and I they went for pennies on the dollar.
I really need to figure out what goes next. The Warmachine stuff was sort of easy. I suppose I have some easy candidates, but most of those are going to be in the same realm as warmachine... not playing it, but no real market for it either. The really sad thing is, my warhammer fantasy battle armies come very close to being in that category as well. A bit more of a market for them, but I'm not using them.
RPGs:
Corona has been great for my gaming life. Don't get me wrong, it sucks and I wish it wasn't here. My heart goes out to all that are suffering or have died from this horrible illness. But my friends and I have been gaming a lot because there isn't much else to do. And yes, we are doing it virtually over the internet. Roll20 has been great for the most part. Also, lots of nice companies have made their games free or opened content like Dungeon and Dragons Online making it worth while to play them again. Kind of surprised Sea of Thieves isn't more popular...but once they go live on steam, I bet you'll see a flood of new players.
PC Gaming:
You know, probably not as much as you'd think. The old favorites are still there... DDO, Company of Heroes...even got City of Heroes again and that was great. Bounced back to some Sea of Thieves ... they have these really cool quests to do and its just a fun game. And just played some Vermintide 2 last night. But as I work on a computer..and now am sitting at my desk for 9 hours already...it is tougher than you'd think to want to sit at it some more to play games.
Okay, well that's about it for an update. Again, I'll try to get off my butt later today and take photos of the chaos marines in progress. Until next time...
