New games

So last night I went to the midnight releasing of Fallout New Vegas. I went with two buddies of mine who to be honest I hadn't talk to in awhile. We all met up at the guy's house and we played the 360 till it was time to get over to South County to get in line for the game.

We got there around 11:40 which was pretty good since we left around 11:20 from Waterloo. It seems you need your ticket for what you purchased to actually get the game. I found that out the hard way because while we were waiting in line they were checking if you had your ticket. Me and all my wisdom forgot it on the computer in out basement. So when it was my turn to go inside they asked for it and my ID. I game them my ID but I wasn't able to produce my ticket. Lucky for me the Game-Stop manager Lisa is super cool and she knew me from all the game I have bought there. She looked at me and just gave me the game. I walked out of there like I was on Cloud 9.

Tonight I plan on going back there to give me her my ticket and to also turn in an app to work there. I feel that place would be good for me due to it involement with games and systems. Can't wait for class to end so I can high-tail it over there to turn it in.

Building Armies

So with the whole thing at FlatCon got me fired up to start building my still in bow army. Its a Space Marine legion and its just waiting there for me to building and paint it. i got a color scheme in mind but I'm not sure I can get it right. I've started to paint my brother's Nid army and my Dad's Ork army. My Brother Jeff's army is being painted by a good friend of our's mike.

Back to the color of my army. I was thinking of painting it grwy with blue shoulders or maybe red. I don't know.

I'm sitting here ready for class a whole 15 minutes early. Just three of us in here waiting but there are soon to be more people comming in, in a few minutes. Speak of the devil here comes one now. Now they are flooding in like crazy. I better wrap up here so class can begin.

Defeat at FlatCon

So this weekend my family and me went up to Springfield to the Interstate Convention Center to partake in FlatCon. As in my last post I stated that there was a 1850 and double's 1000 point fights. My dad and me placed somewhere in the bottom where my brother's teams placed up in the top but didn't win any awards.

There were the usual guys from Capital City games with their nicely painted armies but there were a few new comers to the fight this year. There were two Space Wolves, four Imperial Guard, two Nids, four orks and two Grey Knights. The most dishearting thing that happened during the events was the people that were there to watch.

Three guys that were hovering around the tables were giving out advice to people that "needed" it. One guy would not leave my table and continued to give my enemy advice.

I enjoyed the time up there even though some stuff wasn't right. I hope next year is more eventful and has better missions.
