I see John was being dissected by Lloyd. ?
And I see that a pretty girl has been added to the team. ??
No sam has always been with them … 😉
Except for that sabbatical he took to Japan.
He was in Japan?
yep. There was a sam-less period in the history of BoW
Unless I imagined it… @dracs settle this – did you spend time as a Robin wandering the Far East, or did I make that up?
Edit: never mind, @limburger beat both of us to it.
Gosh I didn’t realise. You would think he would go on endlessly about it
lol try working with him 😉
You guys remind me of this one time in Japan when a coworker said I spoke too much about Ireland.
Is that the real reason you came back – you talked about Ireland so much they deported you back?
Can’t imagine it’d have cost them much, all they’d need to do is trick you into stepping inside a Pokéball and ship that; you’re small enough to fit. ?
It’s a work in progress but after 9 years of BoW we do finally have the beginnings of a Meet the Team page here: https://www.beastsofwar.com/about-us/
@warzan can the Curators have our own page of who we are with lots of pictures of shadowy hooded figures 😀
You absolutely will. Already in the plan 🙂
Awesome 🙂
Aggh camaras that means they will be taking my soul!!!!!!
As I said hooded figures… You know like a shadowy cult that runs everything behind the scenes…not that i am bigging up the role of the Curators in anyway..lol
Yo only want to dress up as a Nazgul , but do have a little dog called Reggie?
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of being a secret shadowy cabal to have pics plastered on the site?
Not if we are all shrouded so you can’t tell what we look like ?
Pass I have a face for radio.
We’ll get you a presidents mask!
Not true jammy dance boy 😀
Like the Hooded Claw in the Perils of Penelope Pitstop?
????
Nice, I have been looking for a page like this in the past. Gives a good overview of the team and their user name and now I can’t miss in spelling the names wrong.
Uh! Looking (even more) forward to teh xlbs now
So typical of “The Talent”… spend ages setting up the shot, and they don’t like it… lol
Looking forward to the Weekender for sure!
It is well past time to do a documentary, spinal tap style, of the history of the Beasts. You could be big in Japan!
Just as long as @warzan doesn’t wear a dragon costume – they’ll think Godzilla is invading again.
?
Kevin’s neice Susan would become his biggest fan though!
Godzilla? It’d be more like Pete’s Dragon, wouldn’t it? 😉 😛
More like Justin’s Dragin you mean. ?
Have you considered compiling those ‘sexy Sam’ shots into a callander to sell as merchandise? You know like how firemen do sexy callanders to raise funds? ?. In fact you could go the whole hog and like firemen bring the whole team in and do a naked shoot with strategically placed minis (could even make a film out of it ‘Callander Girls 2: Callander Boys ‘n’ Toys’ ?)
A Fireman Sam calendar may run into copyright issues ???
Guardsman Sammo then?
Thanks very much for including me, guys. 😀 Really means a lot. Now I just have to get an updated photo and send to you guys.
You know I reckon they are going to get you when you come over just avoid the Mankini shots… XD
As Rob says there is not way they will let you submit your own photo, they will wont one of you in action, though the one with the pipe would be cool!
They would never go for it!
@commodorerob – No mankini for me. It’s “Full Monty” or nothing. 😮 !!!
@bobcockayne – actually I have submitted my own photo before, for the author title bars that used to go under the articles. No big deal to format an image to the right aspect ratio, dpi resolution, font, layout, etc …
Now what I don’t have is @lancorz‘s sweet camera or photographic eye. Seriously, look at the DOF in those photos! 😀
Sadly, yes, the pipe would be a bit pretentious, and “promote smoking.” 🙁
Yeah we have a style we are trying to match on the images (perhaps a little pretentious) but this is why we are not just sticking up any old photo of the team members. (So you will be busy posing when you get here mate 😉 )
Oh, absolutely, @warzan , that’s what I figured and why I did not send anything in this time. I have a feeling I will look better in a @lancorz photo and besides, gives me an extra 5 weeks to lose more weight. 😀
Ah! @warzan will Jim be to the left of picture the right or the centre and is there any significance to where he is in the picture, is it some office politics thing that we should be aware of?
Or is to the right , makes the tea, centre occasionally makes the tea, to the left never makes the tea?
@oriskany but as the song goes you got to leave your hat on…lol
After. @warzans photo at last Bootcamp. that’s all you will be allowed.
What about Russian uniforms form Lloydstovia for the crew @oriskany ?
Why stick everyone with the same genre, @zorg ? I want to see @brennon as a dwarven warrior.
a group shot for posterity? Ben the dwarf and Sam the hobbit will look great as well of coerce John an Justin in their fallout suits will look ace what are you going as or is that the suprise.
What a brilliant idea to steal Lance’s brilliant idea! Seriously though, that sounds like a great XLBS. Looking forward to seeing it.
All of my ide… I mean Warren’s ideas are great!
Are there any other?
Will we be seeing the members that support from the USA as well?
Definately 🙂
We are working out how to get everyone (So US Studio Film remotely and send in, Jim when he gets here next month, and we don’t have a plan just yet on Ben – we may skype his to begin with)
We had a limited window of opportunity to do this (we had a gap in the visit schedule just for this week) so we had to pull this off at very short notice 🙂
Awesome buddy, really cool to see this coming together and think it will make for a great show and tell session on XLBS.
I reckon this is going to lead to an OTT Question Time session too 😀
lol
Yep, I have heard from Sam @dracs on this. Thanks very much for the update!
The member page links on the about us page don’t point to the right places. You have the about-us/ before members/
OK I’ll hop in and fix 🙂
and fixed! thanks for spotting that!
Ok, so BoW already has overtaken the whole river house?
@warzans 1st stage in his plan for World domination see. page 2.
I’d be careful about taking over the top floor, I know they said they had decommissioned but still XD
Congratulations. You earned the ‘First Attractive Member of Staff (UK)’ achievement ?
Welcome Cass!
It seems I know everything I actually want to know about the rest of you guys but a detailed interview and photo shoot with the new member instead of the regular Xlbs would be very welcome indeed ?
Apologies for this unqualified post..I just had half a bottle of wine ?
I think that award goes to Sam and his ‘Blue Steel’ pout on the Let’s Play image this week!!
That gives me an idea for an XLBS segment – a BoW beauty contest – instead of Miss Universe you could have Nat1 BoW.
?
Lol you should do one of those computer stat screen’s for each of the crew @warzan
@zorg or something like the Crystal Maze team intros lol
that works as well @cassn
The BoW crew answering questions about themselves? Is this an abyss I want to stare into….?
Will probably require a 5 up sanity check or two along the way
wheres the ‘Big G’?
I’m not a team member, I occasionally wander in, like Bigfoot
@avernos but you have made some outstanding contriutions to BoW, you even made a live play through of Star Wars Legion worth watching…lol
I thought they kept you in a cryo chamber out the back and thawed you out for lets plays!
Uh yeah, very much looking forward to the upcoming xlbs…great we get to know the growing staff of bow…:-)
Look forward to seeing the almost documentary/AMA style XLBS! I know it’s sort of obvious given how video conferencing works, but I love that you go to another room elsewhere in the building, and somehow Ben is still on the screen. He is kind of like Holly in Red Dwarf in that way, always on a screen somewhere!
I love all the actual backstage stuff that you guys push out. Im really looking forward to seeing this finished video ?
Twilight Imperium Let’s play. Make it happen @xaerin
Looking good, I used google maps to see that one pub that’s being sold! Shame I couldn’t get down there before it went away.
Good day to all yall! Is there anybody who wants to have his own business connected with games? Please, write to me. I’m looking for a partner for my future company. I’m going to use outsourcing companies to make my work easier. I think that I will start with the help of a site for company formation in Singapore.
