Repetition and Redundancy

For those of you faithful readers who have been enjoying the fine vidya content that I’ve been throwing up all over the Tubes4You, allow me to explain-slash-justify something. If it seems like there is a lot of overlap between content here for you dear reader, and there for the...

Wargaming Social Media

Forums represent the best that social media has to offer the miniature wargamer. I’ve been slowly accreting some solid wargaming bros on the Twitter, but the ephemeral nature of microblogging means that the pictures and tales and rule discussions held there vanish in to the void.  What the site...

More Fantasy Figures

Are these good guys or bad guys?  Sometimes it can be hard to tell.  They are all from the DemonWorld line of figures, that’s for sure.   Wizard, Barbarian Warrior 3, and Barbarian Princess  That center figure could be a male or female.  You don’t often see that kind...

Coming Out of the Box

If you liked this project,you’ll love 2017’s project. Completing Castle Meatgrinder, a large wargaming project from start to as-near-to-finished-as-any-wargame-project-ever-gets, was the least of my 2016 successes.

Cirsova, A Review

Growing up in a stolid middle-class family with a sizable and hence expensive brood of children that pushed our life-style into the ranks of the lower middle-class, our entertainment was chiefly picked up from the free library and the low-rent flea markets that dotted the Midwest countryside of the...

Jumping in the Social Media Pool – League For Gamers

I’m not a huge fan of social media.  That toxic purple sewer burned me out on third party sites where the powers that be tow the Party line.  I deleted my Facebook account when it’s spergy CEO abandoned it’s neutrality in favor of under-the-table activism.  Twitter?  Warren Abox ain’t...
