Happy Sunday 🙂
Happy early Sunday
If playing an Olympic game, is cheating mandatory?
No optional for all but the Russians
That might be a idea for a Olympic Game, not doing the sports them self but all the stuff around the games, like doping you guys and make the other guys take the fall
@rasmus I had thought of something like Black Ops or 7TV to play a game launching a raid of the Russian Doping facilities… Find the drugs before the Russians destroy the Olympics!
I know I’ve already put my name in to help test things on BoW 2 – that includes from a platform perspective as well – I do a lot of performance testing and would love to make your servers burn 🙂
@geekaylee new site is going to have a pretty sweet backend, if it can be made to sweat fairplay to you 😉
Happy Sunday… Folks… @warzan did you really say “after i creamed justins beard” and Bravo Ben for not dying of laughter at that…
On to the most important bit the sprues for dropfleet look amazing… @dignity did you and john mug Dave before he left for them… Lol
I try my best 😉
thanks for showing the community some love ,we love you back. group hug
Just switched on and I have to say it’s about time Pie Face gets some coverage on this site.
Is there a themed week planned?
id love a corvus belli fantasy game.
Happy Sunday guys. loved the new How to play Konflikt 47, The format got me really interested in the game. playing a full game from start to finish really works for me.
I now you’ve done it before with the original Bolt Action game and I’ve always thought that was one of the best How to plays you’ve ever done.
For the first time ever it’s not working
What is not?
The video…just sits trying to constantly load
I am using an iPhone 6S Plus and get a lot of buffering. I also get a lot of buffering on my Samsung 12.2 Note Tablet.
Where do you guys upload the XLBS videos? Vimeo?
Same 4 me. Try to watch it on Android Chrome Browser and it never stops loading….
But good old Firefox does it works! Happy Sunday!
I watched quite a bit before commenting. So I just wanted to say. I am really loving the focus on community comments and the community at large that is why I really really enjoyed the last backstage video.
Alright guys keep up the great work. oh and @warzan I hope you saw the thing I did up for you based on your comment from last week 🙂 regarding the Star Trek Board
Go to echo cladors sentiment here. The comment response segment of this show is genius. Even responding to a couple of interesting comments from the previous week, i feel, would definitely incentivize people to provide more input.
I completely agree. From a psychology stand point, people don’t actually care about what they put up the comment, sentiment, or work, that they see as an extension of self. But it is the number likes and comments that makes them want to post again, that research was based off Facebook posts, but I feel the point is applicable here.
Happy Sunday 🙂
Justin, this is horrendous! First time you lose your beard that’s not because of a woman 😉
Infinity dungeon crawler would be something really cool. The covert ops theme is something brilliant to make into a crawler.
But a creamed face never the less …
I’ll get my coat
And it seems it is man cream 😉
Warren is correct, it is hithero and not hit-hero
😉
This pronunciation also applies to the town of Clitheroe in Lancashire 🙂
The more I think about Rune wars and what you were saying about not porting other armies in to it, it make sense if you belive in you product that you do not want to delute it with, for instance a race of Pastamen from the dimensions of doom in an other game world.
That said if you have some Undead or Humans, and know a mdf-pusher … getting trays made in the format they use, and some cards – and the world is your oyster
Warren (and Andrea) I am sorry for trouble I caused in your home with my name idea. I also apologize for laughing so hard I cried when you told us all how he pronounced it. The idea sprang from an old Champions (superhero RPG) game I was in with my friends at school. One of the other players, my friend Jim, played a character named Saurus, a dino hero. He wasn’t real bright, but he was strong and soaked up the damage and dished out excellent physical killing attacks. My character, Speedy, and alien speedster martial artist, was vulnerable to… Read more »
I am liking the look of the Rune Wars game. I have been looking for something for fantasy that’s different to to mainstay options and believe this may be it.
I still like the MIB idea that we are just in a marble.
warren 3 years ago I joined backstage for the xlbs solely because I had watched the Saturday weekender for 3 or 4 weeks prior to joining and thought what the hell £3 or so for double content sounds like a great deal .I had and still don’t really have any real interest in the other benefits of backstage membership for me bow is my wakeup call on a weekend .strong coffee bacon and eggs and you guys waffling on is great and is the sites strongest element and surely is what draws people in to join backstage in the first… Read more »
Same here darren2961.
99% of my BoW watching is the weekend shows. Same/same…wake up with my coffee and sit on the couch and watch the boys philosphise about gaming.
Very similar here, hard imagine my weekends without now and been backstage for a couple of weeks loving the extra content! Start to factor the participation aspect thy are planning too and it’s a friggin barging! 😀
* they not thy and of course bargin not barging (damn you auto-correct, damn you to hell 😀 :-D)
Many moons ago when I was at school one of my ‘chums” poured a pot of cream over me. It took two weeks of washing my hair twice a day for the smell to fade.
Is Justin sure he didn’t have a small piece of cream up his nose and not in his beard !
The idea of getting the community involved more and the fact that you’ve picked up on some of the comments on last week’s show is absolutely fab!!
There’s a lot of clever, talented, witty, intellectual, spiritual and good natured funny minds out there (as well as common amoebas like me)…in other words fabulous company and the sort of people you want to hang out and interact with. Really looking forward to seeing the development 😎
The Ashigaru army looks absolutely amazing, I’ll have to look up the thread as it has totally escaped me.
Thanks for a great show 🙂
Happy Sunday!
Happy sunday!
Cant wait to see what corvus belli end up doing 🙂
I was puzzled by Warrens comment about FFG not using others minis as being an “American thing”. GW used to kick people out of their tournaments for non-GW mini use. Imperial Assault looks great especially when the mini’s get painted. The Jabba’s Palace expansion looks amazing. Corvus Belli do great minis. So long as the fantasy game was not “Fantasy Infinity” it might be a good idea. Would love a backstage “drop-in” option. Loved the Ashigaru regiment. Add a matching eastern dragon and I’m sold on a samurai-style army. Space fleet battles always sound much less impressive than they look.… Read more »
Thanks for the shout out lads. It means a lot. (You have to understand that I live away from family and gamer friends, from Sunday afternoon until Friday afternoon, most weeks and your videos and forums are my “relaxing conversation” that I have when I get home from work…and In the XLBS’s case something I watch Sunday evening to not think about work…. So I got a rosey glow out of it .) Cough… okay sentimental stuff out of the way…… A couple of things 1) VALE Justin’s beard.. 2) Warren, what ever you blokes decide to do with backstage… Read more »
Oh and talk to Ben some more ….. poor Ben (although he got to keep his beard)
I didn’t know why the Stegosaurus dance was rated R… unfortunately now I know why.
