The quest to finish the Balrog continues. After assembly, I basecoated the entire model in Skull White, deciding against the Foundation Paints. I used two thin coats, but next time I may go with a spray can on Skull White, rather then applying with a brush.
Released in 1999, Freespace 2 is a space combat game created by Volition, and published by Interplay.
One of Volition’s earlier games, they went on to make Summoner, Red Faction and Saints Row.
The game was included for free in a recent issue of an Australian PC games magazine “PCPowerplay” (November 2008 Issue #157).
I’ve almost forgotten how frustrating modelling can be. I spent quite a bit of time attempting to glue the right hand leg so it lines up correctly with the base.
So I decided to take the leg into Games Workshop
The Games Workshop Balrog minature is a pretty cool piece, and I’ve been eyeing it off for a while now. So I’ve bought the model, and started to construct it. I’ll be posting some WIP photos as I go along. I haven’t painted a minature in quite a while, so this will be a bit of a challenge.
So I’ve pre-ordered my copy of Fallout 3, and decided to go for the collectors edition. Many collectors editions are fairly sparse on features, usually with a “Making of” DVD and a bonus multiplayer map. The fallout 3 edition has some pretty cool stuff.
Recording live TV in the past used to be a hassle. Back in the days of dodgy tuner cards and bundled software, getting a tv show recorded correctly meant a lot of work. The “lot of work” aspect hasn’t changed, but the software and hardware is so much better that when your setup is correct, it runs really nicely.
Webscaped is now using Wordpress to power the content. I’m fairly impressed by the features and how easy it was to port an existing site.
Most of the changes were to create a new wordpress theme. Which was a breeze. The template files are really well structured, much simpler then Drupal. (But then Drupal is a larger beast).
The permalinks also allows for a nice amount of customisation, so I can setup the links to be the same as the old site, no problems redirecting search engine traffic then.
