Mechwarrior



Uh, Oh! I may have created a monster. As I have stated in a previous post. We did not play the GI Joe, past history campaign sunday. Well Kane came to play the game. But no game. So we just hung out. We got talking about Mechwarrior. So I dragged out some of my Mechwarrior clicks. Scott totally dug them. Being a fan of the video games, novels, and the table top game. (You kids remember that right what they call the "Classic BattleTech" nowadays? ) He took right to them. Its looking like we may have to play some. Which is cool by me. I always enjoyed playing it. But I cant be buying any more. No really. Unless I get a good deal on a large lot or set. No, wait what am I saying? No I can't. Unless. No, no damn you. Kahn!!!!!!!!!

Batman and the Outsiders Micro-Hero

Batman and the Outsiders


Those of you that know me know I digg the The Outsiders. And those of you that dont know me. Now you've been informed. Anyways The outsiders in the next two months is comeing to a conclusion. And being rebooted as Batman and The Outsiders. Why does that title sound familiar? (Aside form being the title of this blurb of nerdiness.) Because thats how the outsiders originally started in 83. Nightwing the former leader brought in his former boss to run the show. Bruce and Dick argued about how Bats was basically having everyone audition for a place on the team. Dick figured they should be there because they already were. And of course they were kind of family now. Well Bruce is all business. He says something to the effect of "this is how you biuld a team." Dicks response is "No this is how you biuld a team. Well then some BS goes down on audition/mission. Nightwing comes back pissed off at Batman. Saying he wants to be better and to do the right thing. Yadda, yadda, yadda. So he quits. Bruce says he happy about that decision because he wants Dick to be good. And the Outsiders needs to be a little bad, on the same level as the criminals. And that dick is better than that.
I'm interested to see where this all goes. It looks like the Outsiders will be tangling with the like of the suicide squad, and therefore checkmate. (Bats make a comment about them in the five part deally this month.) Anyways I'm excited about all this. I really dig Outsiders, Checkmate, and the Suicide Squad. So I am looking forward to all this.

Out of control?


Well this week there was no game. Yeah I know. I was disappointed too. Out of the six players, one had a family function/road trip, one told me they weren't going to make it (although I had forgot that and was miffed at this individual.), one had something else going on but declined to inform me (Hey why would the host/GM need to know? Silly monkey.), one flaked completely, the last two showed up. (One of which was my roommate, so he damn well better have shown up. I know he doesn't have anything better to do.)

Anyways enough of my bitchin. You might wonder why I have a picture of Deadshot at the top of the page. Simple. Looking at the past history of the team. (which is a little more sorted than my post may let on.) I have come to the conclusion that they are getting damn near to being the suicide squad. Not that they are making amens for past discretion's. But that they are damn near out of control. Walking the razors edge. And every once and a while just saying F' yeah and jumping over. Maybe their more like the newest incarnation of the Secret Six. Kinda good, kinda bad. Maybe grey's a better word for it? No, no self serving. Realistically this is my fault for letting them get away with the BS. I'm hoping even those with the blood thirsty kung-fu grip action will find a little bit of morality. As the next set of adventures in Angola will involve plays on (so to speak) morality. Hopefully getting the characters to question if what they are doing is right? What their being asked to do is right? Do they try to do whats right? Do they close them selves off to the madness? Or do they embrace it? Charging into the abyss.

So your asking your self what the hell does Deadshot have to do with any of this? Well hes my favorite character from the suicide squad, and secret six. Maybe if things go south. I can just turn it into a suicide squad game. Yeah, that's the ticket. Explosive Bracelets For Every One!
