Rapid Fire was really funny with that, as all I could hear were random words and somebody shouting WRONG! really loud, in a comparatively deep voice. Once you got into other parts, I realized it wasn't how you recorded it, so I realized I should listen to it on iTunes

I do recommend listening to rapid fire, I had to do it, and its shorter than normal, but I would recommend trying to fix it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/320506.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/320506.page GMT

Neg achievement for WoW! Good lord thats funny. Poor Hollywood...

Glad to see wings of war getting some much deserved airplay.

The Hollywood Minute® yet again speaks the truth.

Very fun listen this week.

Thanks for listening! And you guys rock with your feedback!

Happy gaming!

Loved the topics and the humour and the content but one thing made it unlistenable to me and that was the sound quality. I had to hover my fingers over the volume up and down keys whilst listening to increase or decrease the volume as it was needed and that made me v. sad... *sniff*

What's up with this? At one point there is some one muffling in the background and the next, *wham!* some guys is shouting something like, "Dude!" into the microphone over the aforementioned background-muffler.... If you can sort this out then I'll be more than happy to give you guys another wizz.

Sorry about that ... we did have a bit of a problem with Craig's mic this go around. We're still working out what that was. We actually have more consistent quality on the episodes where Raef is NOT in the room. When he is there, our configuration is a bit weird, which causes us to move away from the mic's a bit much.

I think you'll find better sounds on shows like episode 9 or 8, so check those for examples.

I'm working on reconfiguring the 'broadcast studio' to better handle the three of us in the future. So that part should get better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/322059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/322059.page GMT ) But, I have absolutely no idea how to do so.

I now own, tanhauser, decent, camelot, and now wings of war despite having no one to play any of them with most of the time.

seriously, cool episode and I loved the little 40's radio style air battle in the begining.

Awesome show as allways brother, and Im sure you will get that mic thing fixed for next episode.

You can follow this handy link, that will open iTunes and bring you to a review page:

https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/addUserReview?id=274816789&type=Podcast

Or you can do it manually. Here is how you leave an iTune review:

1) Launch iTunes
2) Click iTunes Store on the far left under "Store"
3) In the upper right corner of the iTunes screen you will see "Search the iTunes Store", type in "d6 generation"
4) Search results will appear with a line for our show. click the 'little grey arrow' to the right of our show name in the list.
5) A "Show summary" page will appear with our logo, and some recent reviews. Above the reviews to the right you should see a 'Write a review' link.


Whew! That's how you do it. I'm still a bit fuzzy on why the world thinks Apple makes the best computer interfaces... but there ya go. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/322636.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/322636.page GMT Was Hollywood drinking? he seems a bit on the silly side but I liked it give him another drink!

I really like your discussion of painting tips. I think the sharing of this kine of knowledge on different methods & processes is one of the greatest benefits of the internet.

I prime white my figures & pretty much do what Craig suggested with the GW inks. But instead of inks, I thin down my regular paints enough so they flow down into the creases & only thinly cover the high parts, thereby giving "false" highlights. Then I Miracle Dip them. The Dip method is mixing Minwax Polyurathene stain 1:1 with paint thinner, & then brushing it on the figures. (Originally, it was suggested to actually dip the figures into the mix, but many people found that made the figure too dark.) The Dip again pools in the creases & not on the high parts, effectively giving the same look as blacklining. Luckily, the Dip will hide any small, recessed spots that you missed that are still white. Here's a link to initial article on the Miracle Dip:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~beattie/dip.html

& here is another page with a good discussion of Miracle Dip, some example pictures, & comparing it to the Magic Wash method, which is similar & uses Future Floor Wax instead of the stain, but more controllable
http://15mmvsf.bagofmice.com/paint/dip.html

& here are some examples of my figures using the Dip. I've found it works really well on flesh. Any of the dark brown lines on these figure are from the dip (except for around metalic colors like the silver sunglasses & the bronze overall buckles). You can see from face of the guy with the cricket bat, the Dip deliniates the eyes, nose & mouth with doing nothing more than block painting the flesh on.

Just tried out new 4th Ed DnD too so thanks again for the review on that. It's a pretty good re-vamp and very fun to play.

Looking forward to the next show.

Well, you're in for a special treat in Episode 11.

We're also discussing future segments on how to balance your gaming life with family life, it's a regular challenge for older gamers. Of course our families and wives come first, but you still need your 'cave time.'*


*Cave Time is a reference to "Men are from Mars, Women from Venus" ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/326661.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/326661.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/326779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/213772/326779.page GMT

I've actually thought about using FOW models or others proxies, all you'd have to do is make a proxie stand out of plasticard, or something. I think it would work perfectly, and I've been playing around with the idea myself.

If you do it, let me know how it goes. The visual appeal of the models over the cards is pretty high, I know.

Thanks again and see ya on the flip side!
