Batman Arkham City

[tabletop]

Is looking pretty interesting. Pity I can't afford all these damn games. I'd like to pick up the new Batman, Saints Row The Third AND BF3 but can only afford one. Sad face.

[Dustan]

Yeah I am lamenting Batman at the mo... its not fair. I only want Skyrim but Batman will be awesome and peer pressure will make me get BF3 (cause at the moment there is a lot of CoD shit making it look like a crap... Stupid Beta)

I kinda want to flag it all  (except skyrim) cause i want some more ogres. God damn it!

[tabletop]

You know I was just talking about that today with a fellow BF3 pre-orderer on the Xbox.

I swear Operation Metro (an infantry ONLY map) has been released as the open beta because they're trying to steal COD's thunder. Caspian Border is in closed (password protected) beta and that's a large map with jets and lots of other vehicles just like normal BC2.

DICE have stated that they're aiming squarely for COD, so maybe they're trying to lure the COD fanbois in with an infantry only beta?

[Dustan]

Well maybe as someone whos sick of CoD they can go fuck themselves and i will buy ogres next pay then pre order skyrim on the payday after next and maybe, if they are lucky I will get BF3 after renting it to see how much I am going to be greifed by it... i dont want corner campers I want buggies and tanks and the wide open range.

Maybe since I can save $$'s at that sight i will pre order BF next payday and get more ogres then pre order Skyrim on the next one (with more ogres)

ARGH FUCKING GW MODELS being nice and two big to reasonably plagurise, Stupid xbox games and the ones i want vs the ones everyone will be playing...

[tabletop]

Yeah GW eh? Dystopian Wars cost me $58 for half a 1600 pt army :/

[Jonathan]

Dystopian Wars FTW!

[Dustan]

Well remember I play ogers $212 has added about half of a 1500 point army, makes my dozens of ogres much more playable and at the moment we play fantasy every week... more or less. I dare say that in a couple months when the DW bubble has popped I'll still be using my Ogres ;p

I know its a rip but unfortunately its cheaper to buy than it is to scratch build/convert... (allowing for time) The spare parts are pretty generous though so I might knock up a scrap launcher from all the extra bits (maybe pulled by an ogre instead of a rhinox Not to mention the piles of bits with the Thundertusk that will let me finish my stonetusk with hunter rider... for anyone that doesnt have a metal hunter the plastic bits fit on a regular ogre so you could convert one up on foot. And then there is this.



I call him MechaFang. Made by Chaosdwarfs in exchange for not getting eaten Or eating someone else, the stories are unsure So Far he is made from OOP Metal Juggernaught, OOP Ork Bike, OOP Ork Buggy Some bronze rod, Putty and the spare head from a Mournfang boxThis will be my Crushers Mount and I will scratch up another mount for the other Mourn Fang =D

I dare say that in a couple months when the DW bubble has popped I'll still be using my Ogres ;p

You have no faith!  DW is going to be the new GW!
We shall play this game continually for over a decade I'm sure...    

[Jonathan]

At least for the rest of the year (if our models arrive by then)...

DW FTW!

[Dustan]

LOL By the time your models arrive it will be time to shut down for christmas ;p
BTW 9 weeks after ordering Maelstrom have sent part of by Backorder. Only two blisters to go...

Good luck with getting cool models gor 'the new GW' if its that good popularity means the stock will be months away

Batman  <- being on topic

and nothin about my mechanical monstrocity :.(

[Dustan]

Oh and being even more on topic... I think I need to Buy arkham city now =] Cause it will support 3d... JUST LIKE MY NEW TV!

And there is a ps3 hooked into the 42 inch TV in the bedroom

[tabletop]

Is that REAL 3d though? Or some cheapo anaglyph red/blue glasses thing?

[Dustan]

Its a 51 inch wide screen plasma tv 3D with active shutter glasses and can utilise side by side of top and bottom stereographics video streams... TBH it is a very compelling reason for me to play CoD BlOp again as it supports 3D... Its rumoured that BF3 may be in 3D also

[tabletop]

Dammnit I have to stock watching footage for this game. I find my hand creeping towards my credit card every time

Damn this game is getting review scores off the charts. Metacritic has the first 10+ reviews at 100 ffs.

Going on my 'definitely buy' list.
