Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Timewaster grade: a solid B-

 Finally, finally, finally got this one completed and the credits rolled. Some of my pics along the way seem to have gone missing, but no biggie.

This is Gerald of Detroit in his assless chaps with his tighty whities hanging out...? Don't ask me why.


When you finally, finally finish this long ass game. 132 hours to completion.

The Wild Hunt are basically large armored up Dark Elves. This is their Spelljammer to move between worlds.

This is their Spelljammer on fire.


This is their dead King. 



I gave this game an extra '+' grade because all of the women in the game are extra hot white girls. i had to take it back because of the sheer length of the game. Very good Timewaster, but wastes too much time!

On the Table [still] A goblin heavy cav leader and that giant that will never be done.

An AoS GOBLIN WARBOSS ON GIANT SQUIG (I don't care what GW calls it!)

Timewasters B+ movie fare: Iron Man

 This is just a well made action movie before the glut of MCU junk hit the screen. A solid B+ and a great introduction to the character. This is one of the few superhero movies I'll give this high of a grade for. I haven't watched many of the Marvel or even DC movies in some years. No need to. Chris Nolans' Dark Knight and a few others like this one are all you need. Deadpool is on this list as well.







On the Table: A gigantic giant, and some OtherWorld 23 NPC's

 A grimdark titan from some forgotten world. 




Quick potato pic:



Pics for scale. The Frost Giant Princess is a metal 50mm sculpt from Reaper Miniatures. 




I've got him a little farther along, but this is pretty close to where he's at now. Still a lot of detail work and probably a coat of some homemade oil washes on certain things and then a repaint is still in order on this project. So far, so grimdark! I finally found my armored up giant. I've been looking for a project like this for a few years now. 


The two 28mm scupts are 3D prints from various shops on eBay.




These are Raymond Gammon and Ms. Pasternack - The 2 main NPC's of the North American Campaign book for THE GAME...

Timewasters - Epic Level Madness: Joker

 This movie is a deep dive into madness. A+ level timewaster and a psychological ride down a long, dark road. Travel at your peril. 

Joaquin Phoenix has a knack for these types of parts, and creates a Joker here that's on par with Heath Ledger's portrayal. A much more disturbing villain on a personal level though. By personal. I mean that this Joker has personal vendettas that he needs to take care of before his madness sweeps the city (see the last picture).





Joker is a howling descent into the mind of a serial killer and a pathology that isn't defined in the SAGE Encyclopedia of Abnormal and Clinical Psychology. A very unique madness you might say, but one that you will sink into along with "Jack Oswald White." His real name and origin is undefined data at this point. There is only speculation. In this iteration, he is known as Arthur Fleck.



And the alter-ego is realized...

And becomes the only ego.




This timewaster is a study in a psychopathy so far removed from reality, that the Joker persona finally drags the man down into his universe and doesn't let him go. 

Timewaster grade: A-

I gave it the minus for parts of the scene in his television debut on the long-running Murray Franklin Show. I felt that the writer and director toned down the character to appease marketing and sales people, making a watered down reaction at the beginning of the scene. But they make up for it - remember: "You get what you f**king deserve!" 

That's all for this edition of Timewasters. But remember - always keep your head on a swivel.
