    Here's my storage so far. The pink stuff is no slip padding, which I found for $2 and adds some nice cushioning to each of the apartments. Unfortunately it's just think enough that the Nexu won't fit with it, and even the Wookie is a tight squeeze. When all packed up, with the rules and...

    Even that would stretch my budget a little since I don't plan to make any more inserts in the forseeable future. Between Dead of Winter and Star Wars, and all the associated stuff I've chosen to buy for them on top, I've pretty much blown my board game budget for the year! I will say that...

    Better Call Saul

    I'm generally pretty against prequels since 95% of the time they turn out terrible. This has started well though and I'm looking forward to watching more. I also thinks it has the potential to be better than Breaking Bad. BB had some great, absolutely brilliant episodes and story arcs, but it...

    Cheers! Though that one might not be suitable for me. I doubt my ability to cut accurately to use plans (would love a tool like Vaclav linked but I've already spent way too much), though I do like the appeal of not having to work out and design something myself. Mostly I'm also a big fan of...

    thankfully a friend picked that one up, so it will be his problem! Also looks like there's a ghostbuster's game coming out. Like all new board games, it's coming via kickstarter! No idea how it plays though. GhostbustersT: The Board Game by Cryptozoic Entertainment Kickstarter

    My copy of Imperial Assault finally arrived. Holy fuck is there a lot of pieces. I'm going to have to plan out a serious storage solution to keep them all safe and make setup / pack up quicker.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    It's good to see our Suarez money signings starting to come good. Don't think Balotelli will ever work out, his style just doesn't fit our, but Markovich, Can, Morena are turning out good. Lallana was probably overpriced but seems handy to have in the squad. As much as I would love to see new...

    Fantastic win, and great to see Super Mario score finally. Hopefully that will increase his value come transfer time! I was watching an NBC stream and I can't beleive anyone can put up with their stupidity? They decided to give Man of the Match to Mario, for his 10 minutes of game time and...

    I played XCOM for the first time last night and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I was really skeptical about the app side of it, and still not sure if I like it, but the game experience itself was pretty awesome. Lots of intense moments, obviously during the timed phase, but also during...

    Yep, it's the promo pack for ordering directly from them. Shits me that it wasn't a realistic option for me since I hear it's a pretty good character to have. Hopefully it's made available for sale separately at some point.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    Such a dodgy penalty. Would have been the worst way to have gone out. Thankfully we got a couple of fantastic goals. Bolton were really under siege at the end there. Whole team in the box while liverpool passed it around and took shots.

    Battlefield Hardline

    Enjoying it so far after the usual teething problems adjusting to a new BF. Might just be the novelty of new maps, modes and weapons, so it remains to be seen how much longevity it has. The UI feels a lot clunkier though. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to buy stuff during round...

    I guess the other thing to remember is that while the game might be cheap, the associated costs might push it up quite a bit as well. Sleeving the cards isn't overly expensive, but adds a little more. If you like to make your own inserts, that a little more as well. And if you want to paint the...

    I think I prefer that he's working for Ras. Definitely more potential than if he stayed as a pretty boy love interest for Thea. That's not to say it will end up as good, but at least will be better.

    I think it's less about enjoying it and more that I don't really have a regular group to progress through the campaign with. I've only played descent a couple of times, for the same reason, but have enjoyed that for the most part. Hopefully if I have my own copy of SWIA, I'll find people...

    The Theory of Everything -- Stephen Hawking chick flick

    Pretty good movie. Absolutely brilliant performance, but seems like the movie is more about Jane than stephen. Not surprising since it's based on her memoir but I'm not overly interested in her struggles, even though it's a pretty shitty situation for her to be in.

    Pretty meh year imo. Some good films but nothing really stands out as something I'm going to remember in a couple of years time. Yet to see Birdman though, so maybe that will change my mind. Lego movie I'll probably remember for a while.
