6th Edition Thoughts (One day before 6th Edition Release)

Right so 6th Edition is literally just around the corner. And I've read a lot about the massive changes via some other blogs, forums and from those videos by Games Workshop (tho they seriously have to turn down the volume of the music). I'm afraid of the change, but also welcome it. So far, it appears to be much, much better than 5th Edition. So, here are my thoughts based on what's flying around the internet and the White Dwarf.

Pre-Heresy Luna Wolves (WIP) 1

As seen on my deviantART: http://sgt-thaddeus.deviantart.com/#/d55don0

Well, now that horrendous uni is over, I can finally begin work on my project. About time too! I've been looking to do a new Space Marine army for some time. An army with awesome characters (to tell some form of a narrative battle) and with a white colour scheme. And Luna Wolves fit the bill. Tho they might also be Star Phantoms. I really can't decide which Legion or Chapter to choose. And with 6th Edition coming out tomorrow, I really can't decide.

MechWarrior Theory

Right so whilst reading some MechWarrior: Online Forums, I see that there has been a fair amount of questions regarding the Medium Weight Mechs; "How is the Medium mech supposed to fair against other weight classes?"

Well I shall give a general answer here. I shall also discuss a theory as to what each weight class mech is generally designed for. Note: These are all in my opinion and all theory. Also all I've read in that forum topic is the OP haha

Awesome Lego Space Marines

I don't mind giving (free) advertisement to things that I personally like. Really like anyway. Yes I am basically a big kid, but hey, Lego's cool. It helps build your imagination, something where in this world only exists in the minds of very little people. And note, I am not one of those people, I consider myself in-between both extremes. You'll have to take my word for it.

But anyway, onto more important (and cooler) matters, there's a thing called Lego Space Marines down on the internet (and no, not in relation to Game Workshop's Warhammer 40K Space Marines).

Monash University: Week 12

Last week of uni for this semester!! The week was partly useful, mostly useless. Everything about exams I already knew, "Answer all multiple choice questions, there's a 1/4 chance of it being correct." etc. Yeah learnt all that in high school for VCE.

Otherwise, I shall be gone for several weeks. Gonna be studying!!

Monash University: Week 11

Another late post, but blame Monash and their assignments. Love how they all decide "OMG it's almost at the end of the semester! CRAP!! They still have assignments to do, and I forgot to hand them out! Here's the assignment students, get it done in a week."

Least, it feels like that anyway. Got waaaay too many assignments in too little a time. I would've expected them to actually manage time properly and give us the assignments over the semester. Like, just don't give assignments in a few weeks before semester's end. A couple weeks prior would be the more intelligent approach. But oh well, since when do Lecturer's/Teachers care much about students and their stress.

Talk about stress, I withdrew - albeit late - from FIT1038. It's bloody ridiculous my group members. Ok the assignment for that class is done over the whole semester. And should be done bit by bit. Instead ALL of my group members decided to take a 6 week holiday without notifying myself or my mate. That forced us 2 to do all the work, whilst they mooch the answers off us without us being able to do anything. This ended at the point he withdrew (at the right time too). I made the dumb idea to stay, up until the point they decided to rock up in week 9 and 10 EXPECTING all the work to be done for them. When they realised no work has been done FOR them, they decide to disregard my times (my Lecture and Tutor times) by demanding reschedules so they we could meet up. Mate, I actually ATTEND my Lectures and Tutes. I actually CARE about my study, so don't expect me to leave my classes just for you.

Seriously, temptation to name them here is extremely high. Defacing them is something that I would quite enjoy (in the sense of ruining their reputation and showing the world that these 2 students are terrible students and workmates). Only reason I do not, is because of privacy acts etc. and all that legal crap.

My word of advice, don't bother doing FIT1038. You may end up with pathetic team who expect YOU to do ALL the work for them.

Monash University: Week 10

I must say, each week there is less and less people rocking up. No surprise there, Lecturers aren't exactly the most fun types of people (POD withstanding). Seriously, 3 out of the 4 Lecturers drone on and on about their chosen class. Some of this info is basically read off from the slide, nothing new, nothing to note down. By their attitude I feel as if they're just teaching for money. Like in their minds "I'm here only for the money." Tho that's 3 out of the 4, which proves to me, there are some Lecturers who enjoy being Lecturers and enjoy what they do.

Tho still, I remember complaining about teachers back in the day. Guess as students we all find something to complain about, perhaps just to kill the boredom? Or just as a force of habit, whatever :)
