Also, Romania looks gorgeous, and I've just been informed this might not be a totally hypothetical thing! how cool would that be? go to Europe with a couple buddies... we want to spend at least 3 days in the UK... He's just as big a Doctor Who fan as I am lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The Von Carstein trilogy, from Black Library. The first one was excellent, the next two didn't quite live up to the first but were still extremely good. Sweet, sounds like a great trip! When are you thinking of doing it?

Mister Monkey Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I always meant to read that one, but never got around to it. Does sound like a good trip Bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's definitely a good one, although I much prefer Vampire Genevieve and its stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 It would be a couple years before I have the PTO to go, assuming I stay in this job. This year is Mexico/cruise, next year is wedding/gencon, so hopefully year after that. Would be pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Cruise Bow?...... Dont do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Aye, it sounds like a great trip, hope you get to do it. The Warhammer Fantasy ones tended to be a lot more hit or miss for me... I'd recommend Von Carstein, Genevieve, the Malus Darkblade books, and Riders of the Dead. Those all were really good. Never read the Witchhunter ones.

bowchikawowers Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Don't worry, Monkey. I handle boats quite well. I am a little concerned about my sister... but she says she's goingto get the drammamine patches and be fine. So... here's hoping. Thanks, Ed, me too! It would be pretty awesome!

Absolution Black Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Its a bit of both... On the one side we have thousands of years of history and culture covering all sorts of things. Then we have the modern society that is, to be perfectly honest, degrading fast. I swear the UK has been taken over by mindless zombies masquerading as teenagers!

Mako Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hey, England is lovely! I fled, then realised how bad an idea that was and came slinking back... Just have to hit chavs with a mallet when you see them and all is well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Does it have to be a mallet? The Scottish equivalents, Neds, are happy to be hit with anything. Or they don't complain at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 There's no school like the old school: http://evil-inc.com/comic/dig-dug/ The only issue I have about going to the UK is getting crap from people because I'm an American. I'd still go, but I could see myself groaning anytime someone assumed that because of where in the US I live that I'm some kind of hillbilly. Shoulder's finally getting better. Maybe I can do some of the cleanup that I wanted to do last weekend so I can have space to paint again. I didn't realize that Confrontation was tied up in legal issues; I did know about the negative feedback for the second-to-last rewrite. It'll probably never come back, or it will come back, have a moderately successful Kickstarter (mostly from nostalgia freaks), hit mainstream release, sell a little, then fade into obscurity again.

Absolution Black Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I understand completely dust, we brits can be a bit . .... arrogant i guess. Personally i dont judge anyone by their accent but unfortunately a lot do. But its not just you, they do it to other brits with accents too. It is also part of the british culture that we poke fun at each other, friendly banter between nationalities or regions etc... Hopefully these ignorant people wont put you off coming for future trips. I love living in the uk but even in the last twenty years i have seen our society degrading. I blame the growth of social media as people just dont seem to know how to interact these days unless its in txt speak via a screen! But i guess its the same everywhere. The world has become smaller but the idea of society is drifting apart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Eh, I'm not sure you can blame social media for that one all on it's own... I noticed these kinds of problems before regular internet use became common, not just cellphone usage. (shrug) Who knows, lol. Evening everyone, how goes?
