Geeky Thrift Shop Finds

From time to time, I end up thrift shopping with the Mrs. And from time to time, I find some pretty cool junk out there. Yesterday's trip to Goodwill brought these goodies to my attention:

South Park is an all-time favorite of mine. Hackers is a classic that I had forgotten about until I saw this tape... and that I'll probably find and watch again. And the Fallout: New Vegas graphic novel? I didn't even know it existed, but it'll be good filler reading material this summer between bigger goals.

I actually didn't purchase either of the tapes. South Park Episodes can be easily streamed online, and you can probably catch Hackers online somewhere as well (although I'm not linking to anything because I'm not sure how reputable the sites showing in my Google search results are).

Officially Married, Time to Play Games Again

I've been absent from both game nights and Magic tournaments for a couple of months now, but my schedule just opened back up. Now that the school year is over and the wedding is over, I have much more time on my hands to get back into doing other things I love.

Anybody want to do a tarrasque in the background for me?
Yeah, that's me getting stiff-armed by the new wife... LOL

So... game night should start back on the 27th (I hope) with a return to Pathfinder Night Below campaign for the gaming crew. I'll be sharing some updates on that campaign in the near future.

My Magic tournament schedule for the near future includes some decent sized tournaments close to home. These are the ones I hope to make in the next few months:

• TCG MaxPoint Series in Hickory, NC on 6/15
• SCG Super IQ in Indian Trail, NC on 6/29
• SCG IQ in Hickory, NC on 8/17

Hopefully there will be enough Friday Night Magic tournaments in July to make up for the lack of bigger tournaments within driving distance in July!

And on top of all that... Games Workshop just released a new Eldar codex. There are far too many things I want to spend money on right now!

New Eldar Wraithknight

Note: This is a wraithseer from Forgeworld.
It's not a pic of the new wraithknight.

With a new eldar codex on the horizon, farseers and autarchs everywhere are looking forward to the new units that will be available in the eldar war host. Chief on my list of new goodies is a new monstrous creature type unit that I hear will be called a wraithknight. From what I understand, they'll be bigger than wraithlords, and will have a gun called a pulsar lance that is just sick. Check out its stats:

Primary fire mode:
36" S:8 AP2 Heavy 2, Lance
Overcharge mode (weapon may not fire next turn)
48" S:10 AP1 Heavy 1, Blast, Lance

According to the rumor mill, eldar preorders will go up near the end of this month and will actually hit the sales floor in June. That's right around the corner, and I can't wait to get my hands on a new copy of the codex... and maybe one of those giant wraithknights too.
