Hair cuts,Mines,and Mechas
Well updates I guess.I have started painting my second TechCommander Mecha after giving him a key stuck in his back and some spare watch parts to make him look like a wind up clockwork "doll" of sorts.I have tried to start on finishing my Mines of Moria board (that aint going to well).I have pre-ordered Voltaire's new album which is called "Riding a Black Unicorn Down the Side of an Erupting Volcano While Drinking from a Chalice Filled with the Laughter of Small Children!".I am not joking when I say that that is the name.I also had my sister shave my hair off after she dyed it black for me several weeks ago...I miss my long hair and am going into with drawl...Hahahaha..Anyhoo,I'm also in the process of buying my friend's old car (1996 Ford Contour)..Anyhoo,toodles,ciao,see ya..GLYAASDI --Nate--

Where has the time gone!?
Hey guys,sorry that my posts have been increasingly lacking.Lets see here,what's happened lately is this:God gave me a job as a 3rd shift stocker at Meijer's,I went on a missions trip to Kokomo Indiana with my youthgroup and have had God change me and my views in lots of crazy ways,I made some actual friends (no offense to any of you guys if you read this (I doubt it)),I've been making a rough 28mm scale Firefly class miniature,I've watched the Firefly TV series and am hooked (Serenity is next),I have received my "Worldwide Gothic" book in the mail (it is 5 stars by the way),I've received my Solar Cabin homesteading book in the mail too,I've FINALLY received my two TechCommander starters in the mail,I've been doing sewing/mending,and yeah...That is about it for now,I've also been prepping for college which I think is going to be..Hmm,what is the word...Epic in all aspects.Oh,I've been also saving up money to by a vehicle of my own that actually runs and has good gas millage (compared to my truck or my grandparents truck)...Anyhoo,GLYASDI! --Nate--

Flight of the Chrysalis,TechCommander,and Dagorhir
Well this weekend I went to a Flight of the Chrysalis which is more than a Christian based retreat.If you ever go on one you know what I mean and also why there are some things not to be shared,lol. :^) But had my relationship with God revamped ten-fold and made a LOT of new friends who I bonded with well plus they actually live in the same state I live in (for once)...Hahahaha..
Anyhoo,now to the second order of business..I first saw TechCommander played and displayed at Origins 2011 (last month,lol) and I really liked it.I talked to Brian (the maker of it and also SailPower) and he explained all my questions and was very professional about,yatta,yatta...Anyhoo,I like it so much that I've been praying about if I should get it or wait a few months.A main reason to getting it now is because of something "confidential and top secret" is greatly influencing my decision to buy now than later.I really enjoy everything about I must say.Oh I just realized,I hadn't explained what it is! Oh dear,I beseech thy forgiveness.TechCommander is a 28mm scale Mecha game that instead of involving mecha's (note:the term mecha without the "a" is copyrighted by BattleTech,MechWarrior,and Catalyst game labs.No CopyRight infringement intended) piloted by pilots they are controlled as a robot from a control ship somewhere within the general vicinity of that solar system.It is a cool game concept that instead of having mechas be the king of the battlefield they are just something to help it along where as powered infantry are the most heavily relied on units.Anyhoo,let me cut the long story (which is pretty sweet btw) short.Pretty much this is a homebrewed (as most systems start out as anyways) from a couple in the Columbus.Ohio region and what they are known for is Wizards,Liards,and Things (If I recall correctly) pewter jewelry and SailPower (a naval warfare game).Oh yeah,the main reason for this paragraph is because I've been waiting since the 6th to have money transferred to my PayPal so I can order a starter..Ugh! it said it'd be ready soon but isn't.
Third order of business:I have been busy practicing fighting and also made a Maul last week (no,I was not inspired by Thor.I actually was going to be making a German war hammer style weapon but quickly changed that to a Red style weapon,lol).

Origins 2011
Well I've been to Origins and volunteering there was one of the funnest things I've done in my life (aside from every time I'm with God,CloudLand Canyon trips,Miniature Donkey shows,or mission trips).I met so many people and made a lot of new friends.I plan (assuming God lets me but I think it is alright with Him) on going next year but this time I'll be actually there the whole time (Wednesday (or Tuesday) through Sunday NIGHT..Ugh,I missed quite a bit with leaving early and getting there late...Noot next time).They have moved the dates to the first week of June for the next couple of years but GRCC's semesters should be done by then (I pray and hope so).Anyhoo,I played a LOT of games.I tried SmallWorld,played WereWolf (by the one and only Loony Labs),and a bunch of other things.
I went to get rid of hobbies (I was gonna get rid of BattleTech and still plan on it...VERY soon at that as well) but came back with several more.WereWolf,MechWarrior (which I have tried before and detested but they had a Age of Destruction starter for $6 (then two days later I found another vendor that had it for $4..Ugh,I guess the saying is true..There is someplace that always has it cheaper (Okay,I know it physically impossible for that to be true but always someplace minus 1)) so I bought it and tried my hand again at it and I REALLY like it.I bought 3 WolfStrike boosters,1 Falcons Prey,3 Age of Destruction,and 1 Death from Above..Yeah,I wish I hadn't bought the FP and DFA and had bought the Ares 3-pack (for only $9 at one place,no Poseidon though..They even had Solaris VII action packs for $9 a piece or sets of 2 for $14..UGH and lol).I also tried my hand at Amtgard but I don't like the Magic aspect of it so I'm probably going with Dagorhir instead.Plus there are Dagorhir players in Grand Rapids as well compared to none from Amtgard that I know of.I told my younger sister about it (she is in her teens) and she REALLY REALLY loves it and I also got my neighbor kid interested in it (13 I think) so it is gonna be a fun summer.Anyhoo,I'll be posting more tomorrow and later on.I actually have 23 more thank-you cards to write.--Nate--
