On Getting a Really Kick Ass Job

Unless there's no tea. Don't work anywhere where there's no tea. That would be silly.

So I’ve been fairly quiet of late. Missives on Shaltari awesome and loving flame weapons* aside, I’m usually fairly tight lipped, mostly because my previous job involved long hours and little time to write, but also because the other gents are a) more interesting to listen to** and b) very often in closer proximity to each other*** because they all live in south-er South West London than I do, being in more westerly South West London.

Trying to stop the Invasion!

Turn 6 last move to remaining focal point!

As the dust has settled tonight after Invasion, I thought it was best to get what's in my mind from this year's experience, while its still fresh. Well my resistance experience or lack off, who knows? you decide.

A Year Old And Stronger Than Ever

'Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birthday Team OB, happy birthday to us!'

Can you believe how time flies?! It only seems like a year ago that I turned to the guys and asked, “Do you fancy making a team blog?”- wait, it was a year ago... well that makes sense I guess...

That's right, we are one year (years? I'm not sure of the correct English) today! It's been a hell of a year Dropzone-wise and actual life-wise, and we are so happy that we were received well enough to gather the impetus to continue writing, and starting three months ago to talk too!

Invasion day 2 and interview with Dave Lewis

The moment the Asylum empties

What a day, what a weekend.
We've all had a tremendous time. It was great to meet so many new and old faces. Big shout out to the guys over at DZC Sweden, it's a massive trip, they seemed to really enjoy the event too.

Excitement and Trepidation

It's Wednesday afternoon, I can't concentrate on anything at work. At the moment all I'm thinking about is Invasion this coming weekend. For 15 years I have been a tournament gamer (never a "win at all costs" WAAC, gamer) of some sort or another.
It started when our gaming group discovered a smallish tournament in Oxstead called the Waaagh. This would be 3rd Edition 40k. For months we practiced hard, painted well and at the end of it we came away with all but 1 of the trophies on offer. It was brilliant, the atmosphere, the camaraderie.....the memories.

Since then I've been to tournaments every year, multiple times a year, for different games too. It's safe to say I really like tournament gaming.
