@dignity, I love reign of fire as well. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone
I loved me Reign of Fire. They had Dragons. Hobbit only had a big, albeit well done, “wyvern.” Just sayin.
What??? You got one chance to redeem yourselves — go read the book before the third movie comes out.
i already did 🙂
Things what am I looking forward to in 2014. I already play a lot of different minis-games and boardgames and that’ll not change. I’m anticipating Jean Bey and Hanakai Studio’s launch of whatever their game is. I know it’ll involve minis, I think it might involve a computer game too. I think I’ll finally get Relic Knights sometime around March and I can see that hitting our gaming table quite a lot. I plan on GM-ing an ambitious Batman multi-player narrative scenario once the Battle Systems terrain shows up. I’ll be making my first ever trip to GenCon come August.… Read more »
Happy hollidays, Loyd, Justin, Warren, Sam, Brennon and all fellow members of BoW.
Enjoy your 2 weeks off fellas; you’ve earned it. Merry Chrimbo!
Well I liked Reign of Fire too. Of course, how to train your dragon is the best dragon movie ever, but still. Next year is deadzone year for me, with some infinity thrown in, I have the deadzone box now although all I’ve done is read the rules a bit, but I do love the big plague mini. Infinity is my favourite wargame I think, (deadzone is kind of a halfway house between boardgame and wargame really), indeed, this last year has seen me get less and less interested in 40K, and that isnt because of what they did regarding… Read more »
I think Warren has it spot on with the Star Wars films. I was in the supermarket and from behind me at the tills I heard a small kid shout ‘Look mummy i’m using the force!’ As I turned round he was waving his hands as items moved along the conveyor belt. How cool is that kid!? 🙂 But his entire outfit was covered in stuff from Attack of the Clones. I guess it just depends at what point in your life you come to the films. I will always be an original trilogy man 🙂
Awesome show guys, hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Shame on you, the Hobbit and LoTR amd the other tolkien stuff were the things that got me into the whole fantasy thing in the first place, not an uncoomon story I know. They remain some of my favourite books. I even got a Hobbit pop up book for my daughter when she was really little. It summarised the story in a few key scenes and like sll good pop up books had parts that move and animate by sliding things etc. It became one of her favourite bed time stories and rhe same for my son. A bit like… Read more »
The Final Countdown is epic awesome CHEESE from 1980 with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen. Brilliant Sunday afternoon watching.
I’m anticipating the Plastic Enforcers for Deadzone from Mantic and the Forge Father + Asterian Factions too,
Happy festive period all at BoW, weather you are part of the team or part of the community. Also, thanks for a great 2013 guys. 🙂 2014s must haves Wild West Exodus Robotech RPG Flames of War Bolt Action Infinity Deadzone Dreadball Twilight imperiam God of Battles army Malifaux Dystopian Legions Firestorm Armarda Warmahordes Really looking forward to seeing the film Ronin and couldnt agree more with Warren about the LotR. Watched the DVD extended addition at least 20 times now and almost know all the words, lol. Anyone else wT h Hobbit 2 in 3D? If not you HAVE… Read more »
Have a great Christmas and New Year guys. Thanks for all your hard work and sticking with it, even when things looked bleak.
See you next year, it should be a good one.
Is anyone haveing a problem watching the xlbs ? Ive tried watching it on a cuple of devices now and no joy.
I had issues earlier. Right Clicked the video and increased the local storage in the flash settings.
That seemed to settle things down for me, but it may have been something else.
Cheers Warren, I got it sorted. Happy hols.
Can I ask How I have had this recent issue of the Backstage videos spiking the browser CPU usage to 100% and I have not been able to get rid of the issue.
I’m not sure what is causing that, we could do a screen share and a skype chat and I’ll see if I can get to the bottom of it for you though, if that helps?
Warzan that probably won’t work as it is a work laptop, Thank you for the offer, and I have a Quad Core 2.6 GHz that only spikes to 45% usage compared to the Dual core work laptop.
Reign of Fire was much better than Dragonheart… Scenario, effects, tone, everything. Period.
Van Zant!
He’s so cool that Corvus Belli put him in the Infinity universe.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at BoW. May you all have a fabulous 2014. Thank you for getting me back into the hobby.
P.S. If Wulfen is good enough for a German basketball team (not to mention a few towns), it should be good enough for Warren’s Stugs. 😉
Nice video guys. I especially liked the way the first half hour was a rant then there was that small talk about board games. 🙂 Merry christmas
A very hobby new year to everyone! May 2014 be filled with gaming goodness!
When you said “best dragon movie” I immediately thought if Reign of Fire. So it’s better than a Warren and Lloyd make out. But that’s not saying much.
Stupid iOS typing. It’s 2013, damnit! I expect more from my technology.
Merry Christmas guys and a happy new year. Really excited for 2014 and BoW. Hope to see you guys at some events, I have some pints with your names on them.
Bst wishes, may your women be of loose morals and your enemies be driven before you.
And Justin…Reign of Fire kicks bum!
That’s kicks bum, not licks bum. Loose the PlopTrops.
Games for 2014, more Mercs, Prodos’ Aliens verus Predator game, and finally Deadzone!
In regards to the new robotics, is this where I can say ” The Cylons are coming” or will it be more along the lines of the synthes/skinjobs from BladeRunner, or even the synthetics from Alien/Aliens……(just watch out for the A2’s, I think they might be a bit twitchy)
And I’ll back Ming the Lack of Facial Hair (aka Justin) that Reign of Fire was a very good dragon movie, in that it got the breathing fire looking extremely realistic, how the creature moved was believable.
Ming the Beardless?
