Trump posts bizarre solar eclipse ad – with his head plunging US into darkness

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

---

During the August 2017 total solar eclipse, the then-president went viral when he ignored all eclipse safety recommendations by gazing directly at the sun with his naked eyes

 

He looks like a hand puppet. 

Want to get bad batch on the table.

Someday I'll actually play this thing.

 

...

 

I've played one match of Crisis Protocol and got the Earth's Mightiest Core Set...

They are both well worth it and have a ton more content on the way. 

I just picked up the Luke, Vader, and Wicket packs, can’t wait to get them on the table. 

I stunned my 15 year old son into speechlessness with that trailer. 

This new mission pack looks good. I wish that they would try some asymmetrical missions though so not everything is capture/hold control points.

The World Needs President Trump Now More Than Ever

WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM

A chaotic, barbarous world is calling out for strong American leadership. And for that, there's only one option: a restoration of the Trump presidency.

 

I read about two paragraphs and had to tap out. That was the dumbest thing I have read in a while.

Who gives a shit? These pigs might as well be walking around greased up and nude for all the good they do the country. It's already a nonstop clown show. This is like putting your toddler in a tux and expecting that to make them act more professional. Pageantry for idiots.

That’s a lot of swinging old wrinkly baggy flesh.

It's a fair one. If they used thicker plastic they'd look weird, if they used soft plastic they'd droop and bend.

The legion lightsabers have the bendy problem. Outside of the thin lightsabers these are fantastic sculpts. 

The only issue I have with Shatterpoint sculpts is the micron thin lightsabers. The don’t have much give if you grab them the wrong way.

Yeah, he looks like a real man from back in the day. That was buried a hundred and fifty years ago and just arose rotten from the grave

He looks kind of like a penis wearing clothes.

As I've said many many times, if anyone finds themselves overburdened by time, money, and space in their home... miniature wargaming and painting effectively cures all three problems immediately!

 

I will say, if you're looking to get into painting, the most important things to keep in mind as a beginner are...

 

1) ANY paint job is gonna look better than naked plastic. Especially when you're starting out and stuff isn't going to look "great," even a prime and a base coat of the main colors will look so much better than plain, assembled minis.

 

2) Remember that you're going to spend 99% of your time playing with the minis at a distance... any of the "flaws" you notice when you've got the thing inches away from your face will simply not be noticeable when you have an army on the table

 

3) Try to keep in mind that if you follow tutorials on youtube and stuff, a lot of those people have been painting for years and even if you've got the same paint, brushes, and tools, it's very easy to not get results like they do

 

4) Thin your paints! This isn't an issue if you're using Contrast Paint, Speedpaint, Instant Paints, Xpress Color, etc., since you don't really need to do that with those. But "normal" paints, yeah, you gotta do that. Different paints have different consistencies and it can be tough to know how thin to go and how thin you CAN go before the pigment "breaks" and you've got a watery mess more suited for glazing or washing

 

But if you wanna get started with Legion or Shatterpoint painting, Sorastro's tutorials on youtube are a decent place to start!

 

I plan on painting Shatterpoint once I finish off Clan Wren from Legion, so hopefully later this week.

Well said. Sorastro is a great starting point, but trying to match him stroke for stroke, especially at the beginning, is going to lead to frustration. He’s a great jumping off point into making the minis look how you want them. Good from 3 feet plays just as well as good from 3 inches. 

I’m getting the core, Dooku, and Obi Wan packs at release. Super excited for this one. All of the gameplay videos have shown a good amount of action with back and forth swings. 

After seeing the demos and all of the sculpts coming out I’m hyped for this game. Time to start finding time to squeeze this in with Legion, Battletech, Crisis Protocol, Ninja Turtles…

After reading the article, how do these dumb motherfuckers not get ejected from their vehicles while not wearing seatbelts and ignoring freedom infringing “speed limits”?

I should have never googled that. 

Mechwarrior 5, despite its short comings was still entertaining. I wonder where they are going with this next entry, maybe actually into the ilClan era?

Yup, same here. 
 

LJN has been well-documented as one of the worst publishers from that era. I wonder what could be considered their “best” game? Like, an actually good one.

They also made Roger Rabbit, which I saw in an earlier post here. I ended up with that turd when Children’s Palace was out of Super Mario 3 stock. I don’t think LJN ever published a “good” game.

There is zero reason to continue play even if news comes that he is stabilized. That’s a traumatic experience for those players. Send them home.

Agreed, there is no reason this should be finished tonight. 

As a lacrosse official, one of the things they have is focus on now besides head injuries is the possibility of sudden cardiac arrest from blows to the chest. They’ve even updated goalie chest protectors and player shoulder pads to try and protect the chest more.

I don’t knoe how much stress you’re under, but I can tell you painting is an incredible stress reliever for me. Everything else melts away while I focus on building and painting.

Painting is great. When I started the hobby I thought it would be tedious, but now painting is such a Zen activity, a great way to relax and listen to a few podcasts while being moderately creative.
