Don't do any more than you're comfortable with. I know I'm kind of lucky this way, but I've been at 200 since I joined the Army, and I'm feeling great.

That's why I'm aiming for 250. I was a 6'5" 110 whippit in highschool, I don't mind looking like a football jersey might be appropriate on me, but I went to far, as it were. :D

No one told me all the movie links were dead. :(

They're all live again. Relive my massive stupidity over the last four years. :D

It seems as if this might be the first week that I'll actually stay on schedule. Today has been an awkward day, but everything went as planned...

WHICH MEANS A NEW ****** COMIC, FINALLY!

We go back to the heady days of the Gray Death Legion, and it's overblown, unrealistic, Mad-Max (Gibson, not Liao) type of adventures. However, in an update to boost sales, the good folks at Microsoft and Smith and Tinker have outsourced a GDL-licensed program to a certain company known for making just one game, really, to most people. The results are predictable.

Miniature Rules: We fought the law and the law won by a field goal, hat trick, round tripper, and a layup with a foul. We're not really good at that "law fighting thing".

Badly painted miniatures?

Doug Glendower · « **Reply #127 on:** 17 August 2011, 01:58:50 »

Well, over the weekend I painted 12 minis and refurbished my grandfather's poker table. You know what that means?

Even at the height of the Jihad, the Word of Blake was still searching for esoteric knowledge about the universe... and supressing it. On one far-flung world, inhabited by a lance led by MoparMessiah, Esq., the Word encounters a Truth. One that will shake their very core, for the twelve seconds that their brains can comprehend something other than "HERETIC!".

Rule four, is, of course, referring to the forum's Rule Four.

I may tweak the text to make that clearer...

And... I have tweaked the text. :/ Sorry for the vaguarity.

I don't see how you'd put a 427 onto a Battletech mini, myself, but you're welcome to try...

Doug Glendower · « **Reply #135 on:** 19 August 2011, 16:31:09 »

I was pretty pleased with episodes 2-92, with all the problems due to me figuring out how to take pictures rather than the comic layout.

The first one, while classic, bothered me with it's offset text. I won't fix it in the main archive... but who's to say there can't be a Soopir Sekrit Espechial Edishun?

I had all the original images, and a free five minutes... no way am I converting the rest, but I figured a higher res, text-aligned version of el Classico here would be a-ok.

I'm so sorry, they were buried in a wrong directory on my HDD drive, and I didn't find them until I cleaned it out for a backup... I meant to have this back up soon after BTechUnits went down... :/

They are talking about religion, and then get into a fight. This is the reason why Rule Four of the forums exist. "4: No discussion of real life politics or religion".

Doug Glendower · « **Reply #142 on:** 25 August 2011, 13:59:19 »

In a related note: I will have some sorta comic up today. I had a great idea, but someone won't loan me a material piece I need. :P So I may go with Your Regularly Scheduled Miniature Rules instead.

Or I may say f' it and photoshop the damned thing.

Mastergunz · « **Reply #143 on:** 25 August 2011, 14:37:02 »

It's not that I won't loan it to you, I have to find the damn thing in storage first. ;)

no, i got that part. i meant about the planet. was that referring to something specific, or just part of the set up?

Oooooooh.

The Poker table "world" is my grandfather's. It's 70 years old. The Battletech universe is 26-27.

Sorry for the delay, but I thought you'd like this soonest:

You know, we're lucky. Despite all that Battletech has been through, it keeps going. It's like an Energizer Bunny Zombie on a planet with no shotguns. And yet, through all that, there's one direction we constantly get flak from. One place, one company, one group that claims they love their fans... yet what is the real record? I'm afraid the real record will show itself to be a broken 45 of the Everly Brothers "Cathy's Clown". Precentor ChamHerbeleon points that out when a shipping mistake brings their whole marketing scheme crashing down. Today, on Miniature Rules.

*looks and LAUGHS*

Oh my my, oh **** yes! Honey put on that party dress!

And...you know...yeah, poking around that other company's website, I see mostly their few
remaining fans, repeating endlessly "Can we have ANYTHING new? Please?" while their official
people are saying "It is coming! You will see! It will be awesome! We have a live action movie in
production right, a sidequel to the Shadow Chronicles in Production, and, of course, The Shadow Rises
in Production! We have lots of stuff coming down the pipeline! Watch for it!"

Yeah, about that.....
