Random Chat / Aww crap!

« on: December 28, 2008, 10:24:03 PM »

I just spent a lot of time (way more than an hour) on my girlfriend's slow PC to fiddle together an order for more than 200 bucks, and when it came to paying this bumfudge little PayPal site kicked me out and everything was gone!
  This is such a crappy piece of software! It's unbelievable, especially compared to the fees they demand.

General Ranting / TGN 2008 Reader’s Choice Awards current state

« on: December 11, 2008, 12:13:27 PM »

I couldn't stand the curiosity any more, so I had a look at how is the first turn evolving (from a FOD point of view). This is only an intermediate result as there are 1.5 days left before the end of the first turn. After that, the first ten of each category take part in the second turn.
Currently it looks like this (numbers in square brackets stand for the number of nominees):

Sci-fi [29]
22 Niel
23 Painless Joe
27 Debra

Fantasy [36]
14 Blights
33 Angel of Righteousness
34 Libby and Tigress
35 Colossus

Historical [17]
3 Pirate Girls 2
10 Governor

Pulp/Horror [17]
4 Frank Cisco
5 Dominatrix Libby
16 Kitty

Game/Expansion [25]
Um ...

Terrain or Accessory [16]
12 Railgun sprue

Well, Historical and Pulp/Horror look promising, while Fantasy could use a boost to get the Blights still in the top ten, as could the Railgun Sprue in Terrain or Accessory.

Keep on voting, guys!

Hasslefree Babble / Multi-packs priced at break-even point

In the thread December Bonus Time 2008 Sally wrote this:

[...] but multi-packs are already priced at break-even point [...]

  You don't gain any money with them? So why are you doing this?! I mean, you are dumping minis that would give you profit when sold separately ...

Random Chat / Have I gone blind?

« on: November 19, 2008, 10:55:01 AM »

I believe I once found a zombie in the Heresy shop that was kind of hidden. I mean, you couldn't see him in the categories ("Undead", "Monsters", ...), but only through the "EVERYTHING IN ONE BIG LIST" link. My problem is, I can't find him anymore! 
If I remember correctly, he was sculpted by Steve but manufactured and sold by Andy. Possibly a brother of Ugh.
Can anybody please help me?

Spyglass and Eolith Miniatures Discussion / Gaming with the WWII zombies?

« on: November 13, 2008, 01:04:40 PM »

In The "I want X WW2 Russian Zombies" thread several people stated that they would buy one or two or even five sets of russian zombies. Well, I guess that such an amount of minis is not for painting only, but rather for gaming. Thus, I wonder what games these are you're using the WWII zombies for.
