Justin Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yeah, I got to go through that myself recently. Working on a project that I wasn't all that passionate about in the beginning, but working away at it, I loved it in the end. Quite proud and pleased with that one. Not saying anything about how GW does things. Who knows what they have to deal with. I definitely feel like, sometimes, nobody will be happy no matter what. Must be even harder for them. Just saying how I do things. Anyway, good feeling, huh? ---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 AM ---------- Justin, who's the irritating kid in the Malifaux class of 2014? Mack. ---------- Post added at 04:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ---------- I'm English, we don't have passion. Just an impressively stiff upper lip. You also have Hugh Laurie. He's pretty cool. And...and cool names for food items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yeah, it definitely was a good feeling. Hoping to have more projects like that. I'd prefer ones I'm passionate about from the beginning, but ones where I have to get past that point 'meh' are always going to be special, I think. And yeah, I do not envy the GW design team. They are still the largest company by far, even with this latest news. It's gotta be hard for them each time they put out a project, there's always people for or against a book. Especially so with the format they use... put out a book, and you might not get to revisit it for a few years, even if people really, really hate it. But then there are the books that people love, and hopefully they get to hear about those more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there are the books that people love, and hopefully they get to hear about those more. One of their big problems is legacy issues. I mean look at what the 1e -> 2e has done with Malifaux. Tons of "why doesnt X do Y anymore?!" and GW has that over 6 editions now and an even greater number of models. But where Malifaux seems to have the freedom to remove some of the legacy issues, GW always seems very hesitant to do so. The biggest one I think being their turn order. I go, you go doesnt work with the GW army size.

Mako Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 It seems like it would be similar to the hassles commission painters get (where someone is always going to say 'it's crap and overpriced'), but magnified millions of times over. I wouldn't want to face it, I know that much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowchikawowers Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 It grew wings...? So that's why I couldn't get my hands on it. I'm ok, really disappointed with the pats playoff game. Not that we lost, I can deal with that if it's a good game. It wasn't a good game! It was BORING! How are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm good. At work. ugh. Alone too, just to make it weirder, lol. My coworker got the flu or something, hope he feels better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 That's no fun. It's been going around. We've got a bug making its way around my room from crib to crib. ---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ---------- I had it last Friday, nice and mild, thankfully.

edonil Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think I've only gotten the flu once since moving here...think it was that swine flu strain or something. I got knocked out by it for days...was not a fun way to spend a week off, let me tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Mine lasted 3 days. And I wasn't flattened thankfully. Called in to drill and slept like 12 hours, and then I was good. And my temp never got over 99. Which, admittedly is 3 degrees over my normal temp so I'm not sure it counts as a low grade still (mako?) but I was able to go to work... Prolly shouldn't have.
