The Weekender That Never Was!
April 26, 2013 by warzan
Hey guys, sorry to say that this weekend there will not be a video Weekender happening. Sorry but even we have to recharge our batteries sometimes.
We had a great time at Salute and it has left us all utterly wrecked (after his great editing on those Salute tours I believe Justin has found himself a cave and gone into hibernation).
We met a whole bunch of great people at Salute, a real mix of the weird and wonderful from big names in the gaming industry such as our old friend Alessio Cavatore and even a bunch of fans. You guys really got into the whole video bombing thing didn't you?
We even got two pairs of DreadBall underpants and a special BoW fan sign which just goes to show Justin wasn't the only one who has BoW make their hole weak.
A ton of cool games and miniatures appeared at the weekend, including the exciting new Deadzone from Mantic, which has just headed to kickstarter.
It was joined by a whole bunch of other great games looking for crowd funding such as RoboTech RPG Tactics and Ammon Miniatures new fantasy wrestling game Da Clash, which did appear at Salute but unfortunately we didn't get time to check out.
Anyway after we have all rested and recuperated we will send Lloyd to fetch Justin from hibernation and be ready for another episode of the Weekender next week. See you then guys and in the mean time be sure to check out our coverage of Salute 2013.

Have a good weekend!
Get a nice rest, we’ll catch ya next weekender..
Rest easy good sirs, thanks for such an indepth look at Salute
Light weights 😉
I’m still buzzing from the day but then I was only having fun all day and not working.
Enjoy your break
I think the weekender is perhaps the most engaging content BOW do. The regular slot means we have something to look forward to each weekend. Hopefully its not going to be another show that fizzles out and dies. Two misses will mean, what, 21 days between epidodes. Must be so much to talk about after salute as well. Lots of rumours, tip offs etc. I think the weekender is your regular flagship product at the moment. You need to protect it. Even if you just live stream half an hour of gaming chat whilst J has a good kip. Not… Read more »
while i understand you the team have worked right through three weekends, Im gonna spend this one with my kids. Its only toy soldiers remember 🙂
I definately don’t begrudge you that….have a great weekend. When our work team found the weekends slipping away too often for comfort we actually found a more regimented schedule largely fixed the problem and helped everyone keep the batteries charged. Move the weekender to Friday? Free up more family time. BOW is by far the best produced, interesting and insightful wargames site. I honestly think a regimented schedule is the final piece of the puzzle would make it unbeatable and help avoid home/work balance getting out of control. Anyhow this is all a bit of whinging in the gaps…..just hope… Read more »
We’re getting there, step by step 🙂
Regarding INHERITANCE Stu is working up a bare bones framework at this moment, so expect decisions and more to start next week.
And when needed we will make vids just for it, as it’s not reliant on XLBS to keep it moving 🙂
Off to the play park now!
That’s good to hear. As much as I’m looking forward to seeing the project progress, I don’t want XLBS to become the Inheritance show.
Well ain’t you cheerful.
With you there in sprit,
John Jemmo
Just disapointed, again….Means I’ll have to go and clean the gutters out or something….
when will part 3 of the Salute Coverage be out?
Very soon.
would have been out but for render issues!
Expect it soon though 🙂
