After nearly a month my new PC has finally arrived and boy has it arrived, but now comes the hard part...getting everything installed and up and running.
The PC seems to be the highlight of my week specially with the weather setting me back a few days on getting my workbench cleared(its had to prime and specially seal miniatures when its raining). So in other words I have been working on my Shadowforce Archer campaign for Sunday and now that the PC is in I will be busy getting everything installed and setup. Getting a PC is almost like moving in to a new house and it takes time to get everything exactly where you want it and not to mention all of the updates and utilities that need to be installed.
With the new PC I should be able to get my Offline Indycar Series up and running. I have decided that I will use my own car for the series and I started painting on it yesterday. Its starting to take shape and I should have images up soon.
On the plus side I was able to get Tabula Rasa installed and updated and I can say this confidently the difference from my old PC and the new PC is night and day. I was also able to finally get Flight Simulator X to function something my old PC refused to do.
That should wrap it it for the last few days. I may get and update in later today just depends on what I am able to finish up this afternoon.

Gencon,Dragons,Indy Car Racing,C3,Shadowforce
Well its about that time of year again, the time when the master event lists are available for Gencon. Its weird though because this year I am not helping run an event and Confrontation is not high on my to do list(I do have an event planned we will talk about that later) so this year my Gencon is pretty much wide open. Hopefully I can find some new game to check out and maybe get in on some old favorites. We will have to wait and see as the event lists are due out any day now.
The Dragon has left the building! Well not quite I need to get him sealed and the humidity has been up the last couple of days preventing me from getting him sealed. It is however based and ready to go. In other painting new I recently got my last batch of Infinity figures primes and started work on them. One of the things I love about the Infinity models is they are clear and concise when it comes to detail so its really easy to paint them up quickly. I expect to have these models ready for Thursday gaming.
Finally the Indy Car Series began it season with 2 races at Homestead Miami. Although I thought the race was great to listen to its still going to take a bit of time for the ex-ChampCar guys to come around. In honor of the new series and the release of an outstanding rFactor mod I am going to attempt to run my own offline racing championship using the mod and rFactor. I hope to have the 1st of many race videos uploaded within the next couple weeks.
Confrontation 3? Yea thats right it looks like they have ironed out the rules for an independent Confrontation 3 tournament for Gencon this year and since its being run by vets from the old tournament scene I figured I should throw in my hat for what I hope is going to be a great tournament for a solid game. I have yet to decide what army to play at this point, hopefully I can convince some of the old local players to jump in and have a go.
Last but certainly not least I have decided to do a revamp on the fledgling spycraft campaign that I started a little over a month ago. We have decided to go into Shadowforce Archer as our setting and I am going to be throwing in stuff from all over. Hopefully I can make a more balanced campaign for our reduced numbers. It should be interesting a Shadowforce has a lot of interesting things going for it already before I start to tinker around with things.
