Geek and Sundry is my tv!

Hello dearest readers,

There may be two posts this week as I have the means for it.

There will also be a new Clog on my youtube channel today, so watch out.

But for now I want to tell you why geek and sundry (http://www.youtube.com/user/geekandsundry) is an amazing youtube channel that you must watch.

So they have 7 shows along with various Tuesday night hang outs which go from guys playing old romancey type games to girls discussing romance and erotica.

I love the shows my favourite being a show based on an online gulid, it based a lot on WoW and those who play a lot of online games will recognise much of yourself in the characers. There are now 6 series and they are all amazing and get better and better. It's written by Felicia Day and as you know I'm a fan.

You can watch season one here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSC2TMwyqzg
They also have run throughs of the last 5 series as 6 is still airing.

My other favourite is Table Top. Now I have been a gamer all my life, but before I started my WoW escapades and my Xbox addiction I played table top games. I remember many a Christmas, Easter or random Friday night playing an epic game called Talisman. It's kinda like dungeons and dragons but a board game that requires less roleplay...unless you're me and always get way into it.

Now Table Top on Geek and Sundry is hosted by Wil Wheaton (another reason I like it, I'm a massive fan, safe to say I may have had a Wesley crush when I was younger).

Every episode Wil talks us through an amazing game and then invites his friends over to play it. By friends I'm talking Rod Roddenberry, Amber Benson, Steve Jackson, Felicia Day and CEO of Blizzard and thats a tiny selection.

It is massive fun watching people I love on tv and gaming all get competitive while playing the best games such as Munchkin, (which I have blogged about here; http://cozibizzle.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/as-promised/) Gloom (http://cozibizzle.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/the-sky-is-gray-the-tea-is-cold/) along with many others like Settlers of Catan, Fluxx, Zombie Dice and more. I do own most of these lol.Here's the link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj6C1CBXPvc&list=PL4F80C7D2DC8D9B6C&index=1

There are other shows like Written by a kid which is stories that a kid tell and get made into little films, Space Janitors is a new show which you kinda get the jist from in the title. There's Dark Horse Comics animated comics, watch them and then there's Sword and Laser, a fantasy and adventure type book club;

You can watch the shows on the geek and sundry youtube page which I linked above. Also they have a website with forums, ventrilo chat and live chat where all the links to the shows are along with links to get cool clothes and stuff based on the channel; http://geekandsundry.com/

So that is my weekly tv, others watch strictly and stuff, I watch fun videos that are basically my life in ten minutes.

Hope you are now more educated, at least about me and my craziness.

Love to all darlings, seasons greetings.

The REAL Unnatural Axe

Hello darlings,

So my first ever blog on Blogger, it's a whole new experience for me. Moving makes it a lot easier to keep on top of my youtube channel, G+ and blog posts. So, here it is.

This week is my making of Unnatural Axe from the game Munchkin (tutorial can be found at cozibizzle.wordpress.com)

It's all part of my outfit for London Comic con where I am going as the female munchkin character. Hopefully there will be a vlog about it but due to life situations all my social networking stuff is running late.

So anyway, the axe looks like this on the card;

So I started with an enlarged picture and some cardboard;

I drew round my axe head and cut it out, twice.

It needs to be a sturdy so thicker cardboard is best. You need a handle so I chose bamboo as I had it. Stick the bamboo to the axe head, one on either side of the bamboo then use masking tape to connect the blades.

 Now comes the messy messy fun. Paper mache!!! :) Cover the whole thing, let it dry for a day, usual drill.

Keep doing it, do as many layers as you want. To add horns use cones of paper and tape it on the axe. Use a lot of tape if needed, masking tape is best as paper mache stickes to it. You only need tissue/thin paper and a pva - water mix. I did several layers so the axe was really solid. For any lumps or points fashion out of rolled up paper or foil, tape and layer the glue/paper mix letting it dry between layers.

It's very tedious, I got very frustrated with the waiting.

But then you get to paint, awh yea;

Gotta love the painting. Always put paper down when doing messy things, it avoids parents/housemates getting angry at mess on the carpet (although if you're quick soap and water gets any accidents off.)

Onve dry and you've done as many coats as you like use marker or paint to detail your weapon. And you're done;

I used pva to cover the finished axe just for a shiny finish. And I am part way there for my outfit.

Hopefully my vlogs will be up by Friday, one of which is about my complete outfit, or more me prancing around in it.

Loveage to all who read my waffle!
