Okay, so… Secret Invasion: War of Kings.
**** SPOILER ALERT ****
The Inhumans have had enough of being pushed around, Black Bolt’s seriously ticked about having his brain examined by the Skrulls and what they did to his family, so off into space they go – with a city that is apparently capable of interstellar travel now.
That’s the first “What the smeg??” moment for me.
Bugger schedules, I feel like throwing out a new challenge today 
This week at HL, we were nattering randomly about Apocalypse and his collection of Riders and how his choices betray his racial intolerances. Despite their being markedly more powerful individuals such as Hulk in the Marvel Universe, he inevitably chooses mutants as his representatives.
Now, this led me to further pondering about who really should be the ultimate “riders” in the Marvel Universe, and it was only a matter of time before my mind rolled back several months to when we were first looking at the Legend format.
Twelve months ago, I discovered WordPress.
I had enjoyed writing for Stu-vivor, so decided to share it with the world.
Next thing you know, we’re ploughing through March Madness, Family Feud, and Summer of Love; we’ve run a whole bunch of caption contests, we’ve browbeaten a whole bunch of decks out of Onyxweapon, and we’ve even received official recognition from UDE.
There’s no party planned, but in recognition of the first anniversary of Lost Hemisphere’s existence… what were your favourite Lost moments?
Gdaysheila: “Gdayboy, what do you want to be when you grow up?”
Gdayboy: “Big boy!”
Gdaysheila: “Do you want to be a… policeman?”
Gdayboy: “Okay! … … No, um, I want be a chicken.”
Gdaysheila: ”(*laughs*)”
Gdayboy: “I want be a white chicken.”
A thread over at the Privateer Press forums has brought a smile to my face today, wherein participants are discussing those great “d’oh!” moments in their painting careers – leaving a fingerprint in your paint, completely missing some portion of the model, painting cloth as metal, even something as simple as accidentally washing your brush in the cup of tea sitting conspicuously close to the brush water… or on one lad’s case, washing his brush in his vodka :X
So the question of the day is… what are some of YOUR great d’oh moments in painting, gaming, cardflopping and crochet?
Huh-and-Zah, it’s time for the 2008 VS System Awards! Given my love of all things grey-bordered and cardboardy, Kamiza has delegated to my waiting hands the poll for the most impactful Equipment Card of the year, as nominated by you, the VS-playing public, at our beloved, borken VS Realms.
Behold – A Poll!
You know you have too many cards when…
… you return from Hobby League to have your wife report that the bookshelf on which you keep your cards, sifted into some 15 or so boxes and playsets set in some 20 binders, divided by team affiliation, has collapsed under its own weight, toppling over and spilling the contents of several shelves across the floor in a scene of cardboard carnage.
I really should have taken a picture.
Thankfully, nothing seems to have been damaged, though boy howdy do I have a bucketload of sorting and reorganising to do sometime soon.
Le sigh.
Ladies and gentlemen, I strongly suggest you examine your storage methods, and ensure they are secure – tethered to a stud if need be (… a wall stud, not Pablo). I narrowly escaped damaged and destroyed cards, don’t let your furniture collapse be the one that kills a card game.
One of the joys of recent days for me has been catching up on the recent series of Dr Who and Torchwood, as I paint figures at an alarmingly slow pace. Joys of distraction.
We heard a while back that David Tennant was planning to leave the show; I’ve really enjoyed his stint (though to be honest, I think I preferred Christopher Eccleston), but now they’ve announced his replacement.
Matt Smith is essentially an unknown, and I’m fine with that… but this promo pic really does not make me feel positive about his upcoming stint. I don’t want an emo Doctor. I want a Doctor with a touch of John Pertwee, a hint of Tom Baker, and a spoonful of Eccleston’s badashiness. I think Tennant managed to fit that bill pretty well, but this pic really makes me wonder of Smith can fill the shoes.
See, sometimes someone eats a bit too much paste in kindergarten, and it kicks off a life-long habit. What can we do with these poor, addicted souls? How can we help them reintegrate into society, not judging or condemning, but at the same time doing our best to help them oversome their afflictions? Why, dear reader, we can let them write articles for our blog! That’s the kind of loving, caring blog Lost Hemisphere is – working to make the world a more welcoming place for the paste-addicted and their adhesive-influenced halucinations.
Did you know that there are cards that didn’t make it into MEV? It’s true, there are! I have no reason to lie to you…apart from, well, lots of reasons. But still! Take those out of the equation and by golly, I’m as honest as the day is long.
It just so happens that between the influence of Lost Hemisphere and my own natural radio-honed charm and wit, we were able to obtain a few of these cards, just for you, the LH readers. Enjoy, and remember: many brave men with families died to bring you this information. So if you don’t laugh, you may as well be insulting them, and then you’ll have to explain to their adorable, grief-stricken children why you don’t have a sense of humor.
Do you want that on your conscience? I don’t want it on your conscience. So enjoy.
