So I don't blog very often and you'll see me talk alot about this game over the next month or 2. Bloodbowl. Based on the Games Workshop board game, Bloodbowl is essientially American Football with Orcs, Elves, Ogres, etc you get the picture. It comes with cheerleaders, helmets, pads, chainsaws, deathrollers (like a steam roller with spikes) hell even goblins on pogo sticks!

The game itself is extremely easy to pick up but hard to master. Its the ultimate tactical game, with a degree of luck as there are dice rolls.

Having played in the beta (which I can't talk about obviously) the gamelooks like it will beabsolutely fantastic. Build your team in single player from a starting outfit and take them all the way to the top, or compete online in public and private leagues.

Anyhow, I'm going to stick my neck and say that come June this game will be getting AA here on GS (for fans its a cerrt AAA) and beg anyone with any interest in sports, violence or strategy game ... PLEASE GO BUY THIS GAME YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

I've long thought SW wasn't as good as used to be. Everyone says this about many things, the Simpsons, the weather, kids behaviour, whatever.

However, today SW was struck a blow, perhaps a mortal one. We've been bleeding many of the better and more entertaining posters (these don't always go hand in hand) for a long time due to bannings, but today we lost the King. Yup Blackbond got banned.

Now love him or hate, and yes many hated him, Blackbond was an entertainer. Often funny, usually informative, Blackbond's posts were guaranteed to attract a crowd as he and his ego took on all comers.

If the ban is permanent SW lost one of its all-time greats today. Sorry to see you go Blackbond, both for SW and personally.

Ok mods congrats you've driven another poster away. The posts, and more importantly the threads, on here that they let go and then mod people for the most ridiculous things has just gotten to me. Its no longer a fun place to post. I hope that the trolls, fakeboys and humorless posters that will be left here shortly enjoy it. I feel sorry for the small number of posters left that are entertaining and genuinely interested in gaming and hope they can revitalise the spirit of the board. Who knows I might come back at some point in the future, but for now I've had enough. Addios.

(Can I just say that I'm not blaming Casey and Cake, who have done their best to hold back the tide on the board, but instead the people who have imposed these regulations. The old spirit of GS and SW has been slowly crushed, to those who are left, enjoy.)

EDIT so I've obviously come back lol (couldn't stay away dammit) What I'm going to do now is just do my best to avoid all the WUM (windup merchants) threads and instead just try and converse with the funny and pleasant posters, I know there are still quite a few of you out there!
