Thinking of the student Mary Young who 106 years ago today 'said "shan't" under [her] breath when told to repeat poor work'.

To be fair we never do any mixed weapon lessons, this was just giving it a go while sparring! I usually use longsword but have been wanting to improve my sword and buckler work.

I'm never going to land a disarm this good again so it's worth preserving on here.

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads 

They Oz you up, your mandyias.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They give you vast and trunkless legs
A sunken shattered visage too.
But they were Ozzed up in their turn
By Mandyias upon the sand
Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command.
Oz hands on mandyias to man.
Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can
Ye mighty and despair yourself

a list of the New Genres which all games can be properly classified into. these are: "Clean-em-up", "Spreadsheet Simulator", "Infant-Saving Simulator", "9-to-5 Like", "Ladder Climber", "Gem Management", "Stroggification Game", "First-Person Game", "Spice World Clone", and "Myst".

game genres are so fuzzy and confusing...what's an Action Adventure game?? what do you actually do in an RPG?? to fix this, i got together with loads of my lovely friends to create a much more descriptive classification system. all games can be neatly placed into the New Genres

Thank you! I'd always loved the sculpt when I saw it as a kid so it was good to finally do it justice.

Here's a grumpy old Commissar from I think 1996? Nice to sprinkle a few of these classic models into my #warhammer40k army. Now that I've learnt how to do stubble I can't stop.

Figured I'd post some of my fodder for #Turnip28. Real fun messing around with green stuff again and getting grimy with it.

One of the actors fell over in tonight's show of Starlight Express and the director came out and shot them in the fucking head like a wounded race horse

Kind of disappointing they've called it 'Doom: The Dark Ages' instead of 'Doom: The Early Medieval Period Which Was Not a Period of Intellectual Decline', but you can't have everything.
