Now I would listen to 40k radio every now and then when I was farting around on the interwebs and tonight I loaded it up as I was making an army list to rip Rik's face off and was really disappointed.
First I would like to say that I have the great fortune of being able to hang out with Kyle and Rik. I dont really have to listen to 40k radio to get a taste of their knowledge and input. When it comes to 40k, I dont think there are many people that know more about the game, industry and lore. When Rik left the show, I didnt miss out on anything since I hobby with him all the time and shoot the shit about everything Space Marine. Kyle I see twice a week and his need for the argument is what makes me laugh. I mean, he knows everything about... well... everything... well he would like to think. :) As for Romeo, I am nice and rarely hang out with him. Romeo is like a bad drug or good beer... some people love him, some people dont... and you cant take too much of him at one time or you will hate him the next day. For instance, we have this gaming group and he is not in it. Why? Because Romeo would rather ruin your game and win than have fun during a game and lose. I have played him twice and I dont ever want to play him again. He would attribute this to a fault of mine and not him. That is fine. :)
So I was listening to 40k radio and all I heard was Romeo whine about GW and push other game systems. That is not what anyone tuning into 40k radio wants to hear. I dont tune into 40k radio to hear someone complain of their finecast. I bought a finecast model, it wasnt good so I called GW and they sent me a second one free in two days. Big deal. At least I know not to head into his store to pick up any in the future.
I also liked how he said there was no reason for a price hike... lol this coming from the man who only had 7 black 720's left so he jacked up the price on them on his website. WTF BRO.
That outside the box thing is also being added to the show because the man doesnt even play 40k. He cant even talk about it. He knows no rules, he knows no lore and he doesnt play. So how do you fix that? Add a 10 minute waste of time for 40k players and have him talk about some other game. The prices for these table top miniature games, no matter what system you choose to play, is all the same. You wanna spend a couple hundred on Infinity to buy an army? Or a hundred or so for a twenty-ish point army for Warmachine? Cool. Good luck to ya, just dont talk about it on a 40k show cause I could care less about what you do outside of 40k. I'll tune into an Infinity or Warmachine podcast if I wanna hear that, understand? Besides, who wants to listen to you talk of games you know half the rules of and none of the lore? Wait we already do that with 40k so might as well do it with other games.
Thank god Kyle is on that show so someone knows something.
Rant off I guess... oh and Kyle mentioned me when they talked of the Flames of War bit... It was Kyle and I against Romeo and Rik... to learn the rules... and Romeo didnt give a shit about learning anything... he just wanted to win. It got so bad... he cried so much that Rik and I sat next to one another and fucked around waiting for the hell to end. Romeo ruined it for me too. lol I havent tried that game since that mess.
Off to get the models off the roof of my car... how stupid is that? Man people are stupid.

ReplyDeletelol... Clive I'm not sad or annoyed, bud. It's your right to post whatever you like and I appreciate your response. I was just told by Kyle and Rik that you are a freeboota (they are painting at my house right now) and that is cool. You are proud of what you follow and that is great.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, I would like to say that I dont hate Romeo and didnt say that I did. I said I was nice to him, but I rarely hang out with him.
Thanks for the comment. :)
Oops, this wasn't even meant to be posted here, it was meant to be here: http://distantbattlegrounds.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-does-bitching-really-accomplish.html
ReplyDeleteI accidentally posted a comment on here instead of Kyles blog and deleted it, although I must have pressed "Post Comment" twice. After I removed the post I realised That what I said was wrong, and if you go to "Distant Battle Grounds" You'll see my afterwards input. I read this post and realised that the comment didn't fit.
Gosh I feel like an idiot...
Say hi to Kyle and rik for me, I'm a huge fan and love the show and the freebootaz, I'm glad I realised that this was posted in the wrong spot...
Happy Blogging, sorry for the misunderstanding,
Clive...
PS:Can you ask or tell me what riks new job is, that would be awesome!!
