The vid is marked as private guys.
Maybe Justin is camera shy, not ready to star in a movie where he showers with three other men, huddled together, shirtless…
I mist the PEARL & DEAN 12+A warming at the beginning
For the heads up? LOL
…which might be better… 😉
Can’t access the video, marked as private.
The horror! The horror!
Can’t access the vid but just from the pictures I already need a large bottle of eye beach.
Can’t see the video either. as for the competition I would like to see a lucha libre type wrestler/strongman (obviously more venetian than mexican).
After seeing the weekender I have some more ideas:
– Giacomo the Incola Lacunae (Lagoon Dweller) a fisherman from the marshy lagoons surrounding Venice now hunting Rashaar.
– Francesco Verduli (AKA François) a french spy trying to uncover the secrets of the Rent in the Sky and the raw magic power from it to aid Napoleon in his conquest of northern Italy.
– Giuseppe the Lamplighter out on the streets when the Rent occurred now horribly mutated because of it.
private video guys, boo
I thought the challenge was EITHER get soaked OR donate to a charity.
And the video is private anyways…
even from the front page promo shot there’s way to much pasty white flesh on show, quick someone pass the mind bleach and then the fake tan for the boys
Someone doesn’t want us to see the pasty white flesh. Not 100% sure I do either.
Show me some white, pasty Irish meat! Yay!
Perhaps the least remembered but interesting literary appearances of Carnevale was in the Count of Monte Cristo – Dante’s arranges for the kidnapping of Albert so that Monte Cristo can heroically rescue him. Although the drama is mostly staged, the characters are full and interesting – these two would make for an interesting nemesis set – both are well dressed and, in some chapters, wear masks Vampa the Roman Bandit – a marksman who could direct a shot “as well as if he placed it by hand” The Count or Monte Cristo – who believes that “pistols are blind” and… Read more »
you only had to ask: as a backstager I would have been more than happy to pay a bit more this month so you guys could afford to donate to the ALS research rather than having to see your pale nerdy bodies while doing the ice bucket thingy…
(or you could have done it with clothes on, you know)
video no longer private, but do I want to watch???
Sorry about that, fixed now.
@dignity‘s brain must still be frozen!

Yep that’s my entry for the competition.
The word ‘disturbing’ comes to mind this early on a Saturday morning!
I think what Justin is trying to say about Legoland is…
“If all the year were playing holidays; To sport would be as tedious as to work.”

35 years later and that O level Eng Lit quote finally came in handy! Actually its an interesting question to you at BoW – when your hobby becomes your work are there times you’ve had it up to here (pointing at Warren’s perky man-nipples earlier in the video)
I think it’s more of an issue for those around us, we spend all week looking at ‘hobby stuff’ and it’s difficult to explain (with a straight face) that we would like to use some of our spare time to ‘hobby’!
Your right though it is an interesting question for the team.
To some level @coxjul is right as well as Justin. I wish I could remember the name of the effect or condition but everyone can often do go through what they mentioned. Science has shown it happens in kids as well as adults. When we offer a monetary value to something you like to do for simple joy of it, lets say painting. We can lose interest in that activity and start wanting to be payed in that new value in order to do what was before a personal joy. In effect we lose the innocence of our motivation behind… Read more »
It’s just like a builder that work all day repairing house’s then go’s home to a half finished house to get moaned at to get things finished by their other half.
OH GOD MY EYES!
The slowed down audio sounds like a herd of (slowly) dying buffalo
In my head at the time… it sounded no different! 😉
The horror the pain, when will the hurting stop. My eyes, eyes.. So i got that out of my system.
Just few days and the KS will start so you know what will be your faction?
Strigoi!!!! 😉
LMAO but I think it should have been custard
Warren I too am having a return to 40k via the latest edition of the game. I too had the same thought as you about using the bolt action mechanism for turn order: the retention of the igougo of 40k was the thing that disappointed me. I am glad you had the confidence to put this out there. there are some interesting options here. In Fireball Forward you don’t draw one card/chip etc then another and so on, instead you continue drawing cards/chips of either army etc until an opponent counter is drawn. You then stop drawing counters and activate… Read more »
I’ve played two games of Bolt 40k (we had this idea last summer-ish).
It works and adds a tactical nature to all choices made. You can ignore a C’tan after he’s moved because he won’t do anything till next turn. However, you need to give a lot of thought to some of the rules. Problems we had:
– Necrons re animation protocol
– can you fire a unit who has assaulted a vehicle since vehicles can’t be locked in contact
I think it’s a great improvement to 40k though & well worth a try.
There are pictures in my mind I no longer want to see! Make the bad men go away mummy!!
Ha the irony, talking about race/gender inclusivity with backstagers only.
its ok though I’ve already got a set, lol.
Great show as ever guys, good to see you back, love the idea of using the bolt action mechanic to keep the flow going but not sure how I will have the time to go and get my plastic pint of coke from Bugman’s the next time I venture to warhammer world. Though I’m sure we’d be thrown out for such heresy long before then!!
In fairness, they probably wouldn’t even notice…
