<r><br/> Don't worry - there are hundreds of ways how to combine learning with gaming.<br/> <br/> I'm sure it helped my SAT verbal score. I seem to remember learning "Gelatinous," "cumbersome," "shambling," "charisma," "fortitude," "undulate" and certainly more than a handful of other typical SAT wo...

<t>They continue the trend of "hmmm... hmmmm?" for me. Not the best they've done, but not bland at least. <br/> <br/> The "dangling crazy" dragon is one of those "just might be crazy enough to work... or not" items. Just so bizarre I won't regret getting it, but also one I don't see really loving.<b...

<r>So most of you know I'm a big fan of this Dragons line, they're fantastic figures for fantasy fans generally (Say that five times fast!) but they're also mostly in scale with 28mm figures so they're particularly great for folks like us.<br/> <br/> The latest series is a bit of a let-down in some ...

<t>I have to admit, this set looks nicer than I expected. But, having said that, I still think this is going to be my first "singles only" SW set. I just don't need tons of commons from this.<br/> <br/> The huge figures are also pretty disappointing. Sure, the turret is nice, but it doesn't move! It...

Quick addendum: I have to say, the thing does do some pretty cool things in the right light. Very funky effects. I'll see if I can capture them on film -- may not be able to....

<t>I was looking at the main site and I followed the "ordering problems fixed" link and saw that there were 33 comments. I clicked through to read them, and discovered they're all porn spam links (well, except for one which was a "fix loan problems" spam) <br/> <br/> Just wanted to point that out.<b...

<t>I just used a tiny spot of raw sienna that I put on the stirring stick before I started stirring.<br/> <br/> I've used this stuff, and this method, before, and it's usually worked. I just have usually used a smaller amount of resin, so I've known (after an early mistake) to use VERY little paint....

<t>So, this is the first effort. I rate it a solid B. It's certainly worth having, I think it's an improvement over the original WOTC offering, and I do like the color. It gets the effect across.<br/> <br/> BUT it is missing the coolest feature of a GC -- transparency! -- so I'm definitely going to ...

<t>Well, it's not totally dry, but I can tell the result of my GC experiment.<br/> <br/> The good: <br/> <br/> It didn't melt or ruin the outer cube. <br/> The color is pretty much exactly what I wanted.<br/> You can see the skeletons inside.<br/> The thickness of the clear plastic doesn't look "off...

<t>Well, my G. cube experiment is curing right now. I mixed up a batch of Enviro-Tex Lite high gloss finish, essentially a clear resin that's used to varnish bar tops, and tinted it with yellow brown. It came out too opaque, frustratingly, since that ruins the whole point of having a transparent mon...
