Disappointment..
July 11th, 2008 by Missy
I’ve been anxiously awaiting the delivery of my new VMC paints (I think I mentioned before that I don’t want to paint anything else until they arrive). I’ve dutifully checked outside my parents’ front door every day (about 700 times) and today there was a tag on the door that they tried to deliver but since no one answered, they’d redeliver on Monday or the package could be picked up today after 6:15.
I was so excited, GDI >.< Anyway, I popped on FedEx’s website to see if there was any chance the package would be back at the office before 6:15 so that I could get it sooner.. and realized that the tracker said the package weighed half a pound. Now, obviously 72 paints in a carrying case is not going to weigh half a pound. So it turns out that it’s really just some crap paperwork for my dad from his old job. BLAAAAAH. I WANT MY PAINTS.
I am dying to get more work done on my army. I swear, I can’t stand waiting much longer. On another shitty note, I realized when my spearhead arrived that the Varghulf is on a 60mm base. Or is it 50mm? Anyway, it’s definitely not a 40mm, therefore I can’t enter it in the contest.
Yay. And yet another shitty note… Dan just called me. They’re cutting four classes from WAR. Hammerer, Choppa, Knight of the Blazing Sun, and Black Guard. This just.. completely unbalances the game. Empire and Dark Elves get no tank? How the hell are they supposed to hold a line against their counterparts (Chaos and High Elves) who have all four classes? And in the Orc v. Dwarf scene.. Squig Herders and Engineers are going to run rampart without their smack-ass classes to keep them in check.
Not to mention, they’re also cutting out four of the six capital cities. One of the major points about WAR that they’ve been touting is being able to capture the capital city of your opposing force, beat up his leader and like.. tear down his statues. Now only two races get that dubious privilege?
I’ll be completely honest here and say that — this puts a serious damper on my desire to play the game. Dan and I have already ordered our collector’s editions, so we’ll be playing in the open beta together.. but I rather expect that we won’t be putting in our credit cards for that monthly subscription fee.
I mean, come on.. the class I most want the play is the Disciple of Khaine, so now I get to play a healer with no tank? I realize that I can travel on over to the Orc or Chaos area and snag myself a nice Black Orc or Chosen, but I DON’T WANT TO. I want to run around with a sexy elf man in the DARK ELF area, doing DARK ELF public quests and battling HIGH ELVES.

Wow lots of bad luck for you lately, huh? That is too bad, I’d like to see you finish your grave guard. :)
And thanks for popping over on my site! I can never get enough comments, and no one ever seems to take the time.
Oh, and I’m actually interested in a Bowflex, but there is so much content here I don’t know where to begin, lol!
Keep up the good blogging!

If you have any questions about Bowflexes, I’d be more than happy to help. I did an asinine amount of research before I settled on which one to buy for myself.
And you’re very welcome for the site comment ^_^ It seems like you guys have a great community going on over there — I’ll be popping in more often to see what is going on! I really love things like those “gamer spotlights”. I don’t really know a lot of gamers IRL (since I rarely leave the house) and I love reading things like that ^____^

Oh good, I wasn’t sure what people would think about the gmer spotlight, I just decided on a whim to start it the other day, lol.
We are going to get a guest blogger soon, a guy I used to work with at the hobbystore named Ian. He is a pretty voracious modeler/painter, so it’ll help boost the content.
And hey, when you get you army done, I might just have to spotlight your army! So hurry up! :P
