Games workshop in town.

I used to play it when I was 8. Beyond those years it seems to be social suicide, a lot of the people who play it are weird world of warcraft types. I dunno, it's expensive... and boring. When I played in a massive game, I wanted to kill this truck... so I attacked. The guy had to get out like a 500 page rule book to verify whether I had actually blown up this truck. My god, it was boring and slow.

Never set foot in one of those places, nor had any inclination to paint or play it or whatever they do in there. The impression I get of the sorts that go in there, is that they're either the geeky, skinny and pale kids with long spindly and boney fingers, or fat lumps of lard: the sorts that are no good at football or socialising with normal kids. As they get older the skinny ones start to wear eye liner and long leather coats and grow a stupid beard, and the fat ones just eat burgers and donuts. They probably all then become pedophiles or serial killers.

My 11 year old son has caught the bug and goes most Sundays. His older brother takes him and explains how to play. Trouble is, he has made a wish-list a mile long for his birthday next month.

I played it when I was a kid and then went that one geeky further step and got into "proper" wargaming - I had both a Gallic and a Carthaginian army. I grew out of that stage by the time I left school. It is a geeky pursuit but then I think adults playing computer games are geeks and it's no more geeky than that.

My best mate took up Wargaming, if that's the one where they re-enact famous battle scenarioss, and would take his son along. He moved on to making his own buildings and would painstakingly paint the troops and vehicles, trabanches etc. He is very good at it but I cannot for theblife of me see the attraction. I do however see the attraction of watching 22 grown men kicking a ball around a pitch with many fellow men in a trance-like state so i guess it's just horses for courses and all that...

 

gold used to be on my crap and pointless pursuits list but is now not.
