[Weekly Top X] Scrambled X


Actually, yes, yes I do, and now that you mention it, it'd be nice if someone cared.
I'm not terribly ill, but I do feel... slightly incoherent, shall we say? I'm pretty sure I spent half an hour of yesterday playing a maladjusted game of Call My Bluff with a class - "is 'gapping comma' a) a small fishing village in Dorset, b) a sex crime perpetrated on the same gender, c) a mental health condition or d) a punctuation mark that I can't remember the purpose of?" - but I couldn't honestly say that I really remember the week in any detail.

This week's Weekly Top X is, therefore, about as scrambled as I feel. It's even got some stuff about WFB in it, which is making me want to take a sniff at that game again.

Crikey, I must be ill.

Wednesday Announcements

DZC Giveaway:

Congrats to TheSil on being randomly drawn to receive a free copy of the Dropzone Commander rulebook.    We'll get that out to you as soon as we can, man.  Just remember - you live in Austria, so it may take a while.


Blog Template Changes:

As part of our continuing commitment to excellence - and in no way at all related to feature bloat - we've made a few small changes to the site.
  1. There is now a link to the full web version of the site on the mobile version at the bottom of the page (thanks, Knight_o_I_R). 
  2. LinkWithin has been altered so that it only shows up in the full posts and will no longer display on the homepage.  For technical reasons, this means that it will be a few days before the LinkWithin suggestions make sense again.
  3. The star rating scale has been removed.  Since nobody was using it, it just ate up space.  
A few more changes are coming down the pipes in the future, so keep an eye out.  And if there's a feature you'd like to see, shout out in the comments.  There is absolutely no guarantee that we'll implement a suggestion, but we'd like to know what you think.

Through the Breach - Choosing Your Allegiance - Guild (Part 2)

The announcement of a new rules update in development kind of sidetracked my Malifaux post last week but I'm back on schedule now. Having covered the first three Guild Masters (well Mistresses in their case)...
Not THAT kind of mistress...
...I suppose I should tell you about the other couple that are available to the Guild before moving on to another Faction...

Ok, so...I'm a nerd. And?



Hey, folks. SinSynn here.

Man....I've missed you guys! As a result, I may have gotten carried away, and this is kinda long.
I'm sorta sorry 'bout that. But hey, grab a cup (or glass) of whatever and read on!

As many of you know, The Crazy Lady I Live With had a lil' surgery. After a bit o' nonsense back-n-forth with the Doctor types, turns out she's gonna be fine. Sadly, they were not able to remove the part of her brain responsible for nagging, as firstly they claim not to know where such a thing is located (Lies! Lies I tell you!), and secondly they weren't cutting anywhere near her head, so...yeah. Not gonna happen.
When I suggested just scooping out her entire brain (There can't be a lot of it, I maintain. Take two seconds, I figger), they just turned around and walked away after sharing some kinda secret eye-roll with The Crazy Lady's sister. Her face was all, 'See? I told you. This is what we deal with. Every day. Constantly.'
Blah.

So, when all is said and done, I missed six days of work (eesh), I've had The Crazy Lady's sister here for a week ('You still building your little toys?' Why yes. Yes I am), and despite how friggin' annoying she is I was actually happy to see her this time, cuz her showing up meant I could return to work full time.
Which is important, cuz ya need money to live in this world, know what I mean? I think you do.

Ok, now...if only she'd leave.
-_-
She was supposed to leave today, but somehow the whole 'leaving' thing got pushed back to Tuesday. 'Probably Tuesday,' in her words.
-_-
Vegas is giving two-to-one odds on her actually leaving Thursday, from what I understand.
I offered to kick-start her broom for her, and I suggested we just take her, and the broom, up to the roof and toss 'em off together, but so far my suggestions have been dismissed immediately, or ignored altogether.
Sigh.

Anyway...guess who's playing April O'Neil in the upcoming re-boot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie franchise?
Yep, you guessed it- the future Mrs. Synn herself, Megan Fox.

*OMG I'm so happy! I'm gonna see it like 90 times! I'm gonna....whoops. I'm gonna need more paper towels...*
