Unless you've been living under a rock the last week, you've heard about the newest GW (re-)release; Apocalypse. In case you have been living under a rock for the past week, I first would like to extend my sympathy for your rock-living ways and hope you find a rent controlled alternative soon. Second, I'd like to explain what exactly GW's game of Apocalypse is...
More or less, it's stuff like this:
This:
A little bit this:
And a sprinkle of these:
Very epic. So a few days ago GW released their latest edition of Apocalypse and this of course brought goodies that made me do this:
You Know, Only With My Shirt On And Less Hair On My Head. Diaper's Still There, Though.
These shocking releases that caused such a disruption to my life included this:
And this:
Hippy Not Included
As much as I wanted both of these items, I had to be realistic because I'm not exactly a rich individual. So I thought back to the last time I had played Apocalypse...
Then I realized I hadn't ever played Apocalypse.
So I thought of the local Apocalypse group in my area...
Yeah, we don't have one of those..
You see, aside from not having an Apocalypse outlet, it's been quite a while since I've played any kind of wargame. It's summer and that season brings a lot of things that trump wargaming for me. These items include:
I'm Talking About The Pool...Sexist Jerk
And it seems that I'm not the only one in a slow period for gaming. Our own Drkmorals has a post here on a similar subject.
So while there are certain things in this hobby that I'd really like to own, there are certain decisions that need to be made when you're not loaded with cash. So while it would be fun to build and paint something like this:
There are other things that will be a joy to build and paint, and that I'll actually get some use out of.
That's essentially what saved me from spending a cent; asking myself how much use I'll actually get out of certain items while also realizing that other things matter more to me.
Like the pools. Those sexy sexy pools...
