So I've been running this blog for a while now and it's occurred to me that it doesn't really have a direction. I just post what I want when I want and that seems to be that. I do enjoy writing and reviewing but I find it hard to get motivated unless something really strikes me. So for the time being I think a lot of this blog is going to focus on my Warhammer stuff as I am really enjoying painting, modelling and the few short games Suzanne and I have played so far.
Hopefully you guys find some of the stuff I write interesting. Stay tuned, there will be other stuff posted on here too. I still have a few game reviews in the works that I hope you'll all enjoy.
If any of you have comments or suggestions on my writing style or the things that I write about, drop me a comment below. Constructive criticism is something I am always looking for.

Cancer is scarey shit
Lately I have been pretty sick. I don't say that lightly. I'm not the type of person who swoons over and dies at the first sign of a cold. In the last year I have been 'sick' roughly 6 times and none of those times have even made me think about taking a day off work.
So you know it's serious when I get knocked on my ass for two weeks straight. I have had a chest/lung infection of the most horrible type. I had to cut my recent holiday short by a day and come home because of it and I've been unwell since. The doctors prescribed me some antibiotics and steroids to clear the inflammation.
Normally I am one of those people who think, "Pshaw (because in my head I'm a member of 1820's Gentry) I don't need none of that snake oil. My body is a God of Healing. I'm like fucking Wolverine man." but this time I was so sick I actually took the full course of medication. I had thought I was feeling better. I've been back at work and up an about this last week which is good because if I had to spend one more day in bed I might have burned my house down out of boredom.
Well, this morning I coughed up blood. Like... a fair bit of blood. That's scarey to me because I have been a smoker for 20 years (off them for four months now) and so lung cancer is always in the back of my mind. I went to the doctor and he's pretty sure it's just from the horrible cough I still have tearing up my throat but I have to have chest X-Ray's tomorrow just to be sure.
If the lung cancer kills me during the night Suzanne, you can have my Magic The Gathering cards.
Update: That was depressing... Here's a picture of a Robot with a Rainbow to cheer you up.
