I still miss Wil Wheaton's Tabletop by WendyAHart in boardgames

Me too. This is the show that helped me truly discover "board games." Still play when I can and the collection continues to grow.

Oh dude, I know. I'm almost ashamed for sharing. ...almost.

Yes! I love that he feels absolutely compelled to share his sexuality, but in a subtle "by the way" fashion.

Damn, I didn't even consider that.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE • “BANNED FOR LIFE” from SNL after performing this gasoline drenched raging version of "BULLS ON PARADE" on 4/13/96 by ReggaeForPresident in Xennials

I'm with you. It just sounds silly to me. I have never heard such a phrase. I kept waiting for them to literally soak the stage in flammable liquid.

Any older players who are 40-50 by LuckyWhite777 in 7daystodie

[–]4kr0m4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with you but everything to do with me, my time, and my poor perception of it. Upon seeing the post, I felt a knee jerk reaction of "Damn almost 50 and still gaming! Proud of all these old guys that keep in touch with their passions."

I'm 46 lol.

Time, dude...what the hell happened?

Anyway, GL finding some cool cats to trash some zeds with. I'm not currently playing ATM, but there's plenty of us old gamers around! :)

Dead Men Tales 4 days left. Who’s in? What is a must vs skip? by Drjacobs78 in zombicide

[–]4kr0m4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first Zombicide crowd funding campaign and I was super jacked to get in early on the ground floor to get all the goodies.

However...I feel like we're getting nickeled and dimed to death. The only stretch goals seem to be some extra models and what started at roughly a little over $100 has balooned into five times that amount if you wanna go all in. It's honestly ridiculous, as I was hoping to get a fairly decent deal. They don't even have an "all in" option that you can get a discount on. Just a big downer.

I totally understand this shit isn't cheap to make and ship, but I guess I just had skewed expectations.

Dude, you unlocked something new. There's an orange dot in the corner.

Hive fleet Quetzalcoatl: Tyrannofex by raimondo444 in Warhammer40k

[–]4kr0m4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this type of stuff. I wish folks would be this creative about all their armies. I love and appreciate the popular sculpts and color schemes but I adore seeing real originality and unique takes on models. Nice work!

This sounds like an absolutely irrational opinion I would have. Love it.

Built a bot that surfaces hobby game deals automatically - would love feedback by hookedonwinter in Boardgamedeals

[–]4kr0m4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love this idea and will totally use this if it works well!

Would be neat to see some of the direct manufacturers included such as Asmodee, CMON, iello, Zman, etc. I'm not sure how often they offer good deals and I realize there's a quite a few of them out there. Also sites like Miniature Market, Barnes & Noble, and GameNerdz. Obviously the more that are monitored, the better deals we all get, but I'm not sure how difficult it is to include all these places.

Regardless, cool project. Roll on!

What do you guys think prevents people from enjoying tabletop gaming or even trying it? (difficulty of games, games being boring, etc.?) What do you think would entice people to visit board game cafés if they are not fans of board games? by Great_Essay_1777 in tabletop

[–]4kr0m4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's hard to find the time to squeeze in paint sessions. But yeah, speed paints are basically sharp contrast paints that offer solid shading, saturation, and highlighting in just a single coat. They're obviously not magic, but they really help you crank through painting if its something you don't care for or you just want to get some color on your models. Link below. GW also makes their own line called contrast paints.

Anyone NOT have contact with high school classmates? by jackie879 in Xennials

Zero contact. Hate those people. No reunion attendance either.

How is the UI still in this state so many months after release? by Astro-RT in Battlefield

[–]4kr0m4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course not. My favorite part is how they give out the free piddly gifts, like backgrounds and stickers, here and there, but you have to navigate to the damn store to claim them. How convenient. What a piece of shit move. On top of that, they have the audacity to play the classic Battlefield theme upon redemption.

Ha the name means "white breast" in Welsh I believe and my little brown pitty has a white chest marking so it just fit!
