FUN VIDEOS: "Dance Off With the Star Wars Stars 2008" (18 June 2008)

Hi All,

First of all, I'm sharing the above video, which I thought was really amusing. If the first two dance numbers are a tad annoying, please hold out for the third, Lord Vader comes out to do one of my all-time favorite Michael Jackson numbers (Forward to about the 3:00 minute mark if you want to skip the first two dance numbers). It worth it for no other reason than to see Lord Vader's head bobble in that characteristic Michael Jackson way...

I've also been keeping busy lately... but haven't forgotten gaming. The June MWS meet went really well with almost twenty attendees AGAIN!

We had three games:

1. Starmada
   (...in "starship scale" or some ridiculously puny number such as 1/3,000)
   [Vince had set up a scenario between Chinese and German future fleets.]
2. Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) for Miniatures
   (...in 6mm or 1/285 scale)
   [Eric set up a WWII Western Front scenario with Americans confronting dug-in Germans.]
3. Hordes of The Things (HOTT)
   (...in 15mm scale)
   [Joe set up a cool little series of games with Orcs battling Dwarf Kings laden with treasure.]

And despite not playing in any of the games, I had a great time. Gaming, for me, has always really been about friends, camaraderie, and having a good time. And the MWSS (Miniatures Wargaming Society of Sacramento) has really been delivering lately.

We have a new schedule too:

The new schedule for the Miniature Wargaming Society of Sacramento is:

Day / Date /Time:
Sunday = 7/13/8 = 10am-6pm
Sunday = 8/10/8 = 11am-7pm
Saturday = 9/27/8 = 11am-7pm
Saturday = 10/18/8 = 12am-8pm
Sunday = 11/16/8 = 11am-7pm
Saturday = 12-20-8 = 12am-7pm

All meetings at the Carmichael Library located at 5605 Marconi Ave in Sacramento

I'm looking forward to gaming much more this year with MWS AKA MWSS. I hope to host a few more 28mm pirate games, maybe a few 28mm WAB games, and possibly a 6mm Kaiju / Godzilla game soon among my other wishes and long shots!

I'm also excited to be going on a vacation trip to New York in the first week of July. I'll be visiting my uncle, some old friends, and even, perhaps, getting a choice game or two in. Here's hoping...

And one other quick news tidbit:

My buddy Tas in the land of Oz has re-started his old OGRE web site as a blog... find it here:
http://ogrerecognitionmanual.blogspot.com/

So, good gaming to you!
And have a great Wednesday!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

FUN VIDEOS: "Star Wars According To a 3-year-old" (26 February 2008)

Hi All,

I've really fallen behind on blog updates... still trying to find a new job. The search is really chewing up my free time.

And now I'm on Jury Duty for a week or two...

I've been mostly working on 28mm pirates and ships, but this past Sunday, I got to play in a CoC (Call of Cthulhu) RPG game and really enjoyed it.

Several of my friends sent me the above video "Star Wars according to a 3 year old," which I though was pretty classic. Enjoy!

Have a great Tuesday!

Hi Everyone,

It's X-mas Eve and I wanted to post something special when I was browsing through TMP and came upon one of my favorite TMP'ers posts... that of the deservedly well-regarded Chick In Chainmail. She felt fit to share a Cthulhu caroling medley...

What a wonderful woman!

So, here goes:

Hi Everyone,

Starting with this post, I'm going to change the timing of when I post updates from early mornings to the night before in the evening. Posting in the mornings has been proving difficult lately.

And what I've been saving for today is one of the best Christmas Carols I've ever heard...

FUN VIDEOS: "Trunk Monkey - Part 5" (4 December 2007)

.

Hi All,

Quick post today... may get in another later today. I'm still enjoying Trunk Monkey. You'd think that the Trunk Monkey could do anything... At any rate, whoever wrote the Trunk Monkey pieces, they're very clever.

I wonder if, hypothetically, the wee tyke in the Trunk Monkey #5 episode was born, what he would think of later knowing that he had been delivered by a monkey? Do you think that the fact of being delivered by a monkey could be a status symbol among pirates? How about circus workers?

Have a great Tuesday!

COOL VIDEO: "RIP: Evel Knievel Rides His Last Bike To Heaven" (2 December 2007)

.
TOP: Evel Knievel doing his STUFF!

Hi All,

Evel Knievel was more than an icon, he was a household name in 1970's, which was a noteworthy decade in my life. We all knew who he was and admired the cahones he had to do the death-defying stunts he did. And as you have probably already heard, Evel passed away just the other day ago... may he rest in peace. I'll never forget him and all the good memories I have of him.

This post is my tribute to him as well as a "carnival" (link collection) for those who are interested.

Here are some Evel videos:

BOTTOM: Here he is jumping 11 Mack trucks, with Howard Cossell and Don Meredith providing the play by play, February 17, 1974 in North Richland Hills, TX.
BOTTOM: Another appearance on Wide World of Sports that didn’t go so well. May 31, 1975 in Wembley Stadium in London, attempting to jump 13 double-decker buses.
BOTTOM: Here’s the Snake River Canyon stunt, September 8, 1974.
BOTTOM: Some biographical video through the years and the jump at King’s Island.

And here are some Evel links:

FUN VIDEOS: "Trunk Monkey - Part 4" (30 November 2007)

Hi All,

Quick post today... may get in another later today. I'm still enjoying Trunk Monkey. The allure of seeing punks like car thieves, obnoxious kids, vandals, etc. ...get their come-up-ance from the Trunk Monkey is near undeniable.

I'm starting to think that if the local superhero RPG / minis game guys get another campaign going that I'll have to invent a superhero called the Trunk Monkey. I wonder which superpowers would be most appropriate to the theme...

Have a great Friday!

Hi All,

Quick post today... I've been really enjoying the whole Trunk Monkey concept, which got me thinking:

As much as I don't like Ewoks & Smurfs much, I'd sort of like to see Trunk Ewok and Trunk Smurf just to really humiliate those people who mess with you… I can imagine:

"You got whooped by a giant Smurf, Dweezil!"

I LOOOOVVVVEEE the Trunk Monkey!

Have a great Monday!

FUN VIDEOS: "Trunk Monkey - Part 1" (24 November 2007)

.

.
Hi All,

I've really been enjoying the You-Tube phenomenon, especially that of viral videos... What's a viral video you ask... well, I'll tell you:

The term viral video refers to video clip content which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email or IM messages, blogs and other media sharing websites.

To read more, see the Wikipedia definition of a viral video here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_video

In other words, viral videos are the chain letters of the computer generation... kind of like a video version of all those jokes we used to pass around by word of mouth.

That being said, I LOOOOVVVVEEE the Trunk Monkey!

Have a great Saturday!
And a Gut Shabbos to my Jewish readers!

Shabbat Shalom,

Ever wondered what to do if Zombies attack?

Do you have a low reading comprehension rate?

Do Zombies confuse you?

Ever seen a really bad B-grade zombie flick?

If you answered yes to first three of the above questions (...and no to the last one), the chances are that this Public Service Announcement (PSA) about the imminent threat of zombies was made just for YOU!

ENJOY!

FUN VIDEOS: "Maksimok Takes On The Argonauts" (19 October 2007)

.


Hi All,

The above clip is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite films of all time: "Jason and the Argonauts" made by one of the all-time great film directors of all time, Ray Harryhausen. "Jason" is a retelling of the classic Greek myth by the same name, a tale of adventure, heroes & monsters with what were at the time, the best special effects ever made. Ray Harryhausen, an amazing special effects guru, made stop-motion model animation famous. Here's a little bit about the technique:

Stop motion (or frame-by-frame) animation is a general term for an animation technique which makes a physically manipulated object appear to move. The object is moved by very small amounts between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Clay figures are often used in stop motion animations, known as claymation, for their ease of repositioning. Software applications such as Stop Motion Pro, istopmotion and monkeyjam have made the technique popular among young filmmakers.

And if you've never seen a Harryhausen film before, by all means, go out and rent one, or better yet, buy one of the Harryhausen DVD collections now available. From "Jason and the Argonauts," "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad," to "Clash of the Titans," there are some real film gems out there for someone never exposed to the wonders of Harryhausen.

And, by the way, my RPG / Miniatures game alter-ego, Master Necromancer Maksimok, would have done things the same as the necromancer in the above film clip, EXCEPT... Maksimok's skeleton underlings have a real thing for guys who wear skirts, from Greeks to Scots. I can't imagine the heroes doing so well against Maksimok's skeleton hordes. Booyah!

And a few links as is my wont:

NOVELS: "World War Z" & Tripod's "Stockpiling Weaponry!"

.

Hi All,

Before I share my brief review of the New York Times zombie best seller "World War Z" by Max Brooks, I'm going to share a far more entertaining Tripod music video / comedy skit. This Tripod skit nearly captures in roughly a minute and a half what all 342 pages of "World War Z" does. And the message boils down as thus:

1. Evil "NeoCons" have crippled the world, which makes us vulnerable to zombie invasion.

2. True "hippie-like progressives" can save the world with a proper Socialist ordering to society, multiculturalism, and a new nation-state in Israel called United Palestine... once all of the "NeoCons" have all been eaten by zombies...

3. War is bad and evil... unless dictators or Socialists start them.

4. Americans suck, white people suck, Christians suck... unless they are "multicultural progressives" who can denounce the troika of Western evil: whiteness, American "cowboy" capitalism, and the Judeo-Christian underpinnings of American Christianity.

5. The US military are a bunch of wasted, violent morons. All of them suffer from post traumatic battle syndrome, Vietnam flashbacks, or brush war jingoism.

6. And, oh yeah, Jews suck, but the only the religious and/or Zionist ones who don't want to be a part of "United Palestine."

7. And last but not least, the most important point:

"Bush sucks!"

"And is singlehandedly the cause...
...of ALL of the world's problems"

Well, maybe the Tripod song doesn't say all that, but I wanted something funny to share in an otherwise depressing book review. And unfortunately, the book isn't much more subtle than the seven points I've outlined above. Max Brooks had a political axe to grind when he wrote this book and while he avoids naming names, it's very clear what "lessons" he wanted to shove down our throats while making a quick buck off the zombie fad. Seriously, I bet they'll make a translation of this book mandatory reading at political reeducation AKA indoctrination camps in Communist China... it's just about that bad.

If you're a big fan of blaming America and its Presidents as the "root cause" of all evil in the world, or at least most of it... this book will probably be your cup of tea. If not, it will take so much effort to wade through the tripe that you'll probably quit reading the book long before you reach the end of it. I found it tiring after about page fifty... I've read mathematics text books that were less tiresome.

My one big compliment for Max Brooks is that he did some good research albeit through his "rose-coloured political glasses." The references to other nations and places capture a snapshot of those places that "feels right," even when he often gets them wrong. As I mentioned, he often mentions lots of foreign-language terms without ever really getting it right. I can't speak to all the places he mentions, but I can speak to many of the places I have lived or been such as his mention of the "ship yards" where old freighters are taken to be recycled into metal scrap. I think Max Brooks may have mistaken India for Pakistan, which is where most ships go to be broken down to recycled scrap. Small point, but it's symptomatic of most of the novel: "feels right," but is subtly off. Max Brook's zombies though are spot on and very consistently imagineered throughout the novel. He spent some time well creating his zombies, physical characteristics, behavior patterns, and all. Congratulations AKA Mazel Tov to him on that point... if only there were more.

And, probably the other major theme of the book, after anti-Americanism, is PESSIMISM. In Max Brook's apocalyptic fantasy, no one can get anything right until they begin to see the light of Socialism and new the "new societal ordering" that has, in reality, failed in every society that it has ever been tried in from the failed Communist States of the former USSR, to Red China, to Pol Pot's Cambodia, Mugabwe's tragedy of Zimbabwe, to Communist Vietnam, the gulags of North Korea, the prison state of Cuba, to the Bathist regimes in the Middle East and beyond. In the book, every kind of theme or meme whining about the shortcomings of Western society are trumpeted to the heavens: fundamentalist Christians, NRA "gun nuts," lazy Western white collar workers AKA management, NeoCons, a violent, corrupt military without enough ammo or common sense to "fight smart," and a whole laundry list of people and groups that "progressives" like Max Brooks blame for the ills of the world. Expect that theme to be repeated ad nauseum or maybe to put it a little more aptly: ad zombium.

OK. I've ranted enough...

The bottom line is that the book is mildly entertaining if you can get past the political messages that Max Brooks so obviously wants you to take away from this book.

Hi All,

I'm still very much overhwhelmed at and away from my job, but I did manage to get a little gaming in with some buds Wednesday evening. Vynnie, Mikos, George and I got together "to shoot the bull" and played a short board game of ZOMBIES!. Mikos just bought a copy and wanted to give it a spin...

And here's a short Star Wars video that I recently enjoyed. I find it exceptionally difficult to NOT root for the Empire at times... Blue milk, anyone?

FUN VIDEOS: Tripod's Romantic Song...

.

.
Hi All,

Ever since I learned about the Ozzie musical-comedy group, Tripod, I've enjoyed the HECK out of them and that's "Heck" with a capitol "H!" This song, "Gonna Make You Happy" is one that's easy for any bonafide geek to identify with... except for maybe the "girl" part... LOL ;o) And sometimes I wonder a bit about the "girl" part myself... Unfortunately I've had an easier time with conquering the "Robots of Zergon-B" and collecting sets of "magic coins" than dealing with the opposite sex...

You can learn more about Tripod here:
