Review: Ultramarines the Movie: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie

Codex Pictures released the first full length CGI film for Warhammer 40K just this last December.  Some minor production hiccups delayed most international shipping to those of us fanboys here in the States.  But I can say that for this 40K-Space Marine Playing-Movie Loving- enthusiast the wait was well worth it. One of the things [...]

Intro to 40K: List Building pt 3 – Themed List

This is perhaps my favorite kind of list to play as I’m a very cinematic gamer.  I love setting up huge game boards with all kinds of terrain that tells a story, not just haphazardly thrown on the table.  My most enjoyable games are usually when one side or another is functioning at a disadvantage [...]

Board Game Review: Settlers of Catan

My first, well… second introduction to non-traditional board games was Settlers of Catan.  Technically my first was Hero Quest, but it was so close to D&D that I didn’t really think of it as much different, or even a real board game for that matter.  Thanks to some friends who swore by this game and [...]

The Board Game Revolution

As is typical with we geek types, eventually our attention span fails us.  No matter how many miniatures are left in that army that need painting, or how unorganized your Magic: The Gathering cards are, or how many comics are left unread, eventually the itch takes over.  You begin looking for something new to spend [...]

Apple iPad…the Gift that Keeps on Giving

Okay so we’re testing out the speed of the Apple keyboard….looks good. That was the first sentence I wrote on my new Apple iPad I got for Christmas from my lovely wife.  She’s the best and I am in love yet again with Apple’s work.  I know, you’re probably thinking, “Why didn’t he just wait [...]

Anime Review – Last Exile: Where Steampunk and Miyazaki meet.

Thanks to Netflix, my anime viewing has been greatly refreshed.  Recently I was given a recommendation for an anime called Last Exile, and I loved it.  I cut my teeth on the great:, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, all of Miyazaki’s work, Ninja Scroll, DBZ, and more. While the majority of my anime exposure in [...]

Intro to 40K: List Building pt 2 – All Comers List

Continuing the Intro to 40K series, we now are looking at the first of three examples of general list categories for Warhammer 40,000.  For simplicity and continuity we will be using a 1500 point Space Marine list in all the articles, since that is a manageable point size and most people’s introduction to 40K comes [...]

Macentizing Your Life – Apple Integration

Macentizing Your Life – Apple Integration

My introduction to the seamless cohesion of Apple products occurred after I got my first Macbook.  I was a Blackberry user who was faced with the incapability of syncing with Mac.  At the time (mid 2000’s), there was no reliable way to sync your information between Blackberry, Mac, and my home PC except a single [...]
