Rev Rev Rev!!

Stayed over at Sam's place, but I could only get there at around 11 at night due to other pressing matters. Got acquainted with Sam's neighbours and other friends who were staying over, namely Sam Wang, Chris and Mark, all of which were really nice guys.

We played RE4 and Gears before Sam's parents chased us to sleep somewhere near midnight. Then again, when did sleepovers include any actual sleep? After stating that the UBCS sucked since they always get owned by the undead despite being commandos and armed to the teeth with the standard Kalashnikovs and all, Sam decided to make a very violent rebuttal of that claim, and we ended up doing a mattress showdown.

Sam with me in headlock

Sam : Is the UBCS gay??

Me : zzzzzzzz.............
---------------------

In the end we settled it with a compromise like civilized people, and agreed that though a good portion of the UBCS get owned all the time, some are still decently good. Its around this time that I realize its Sam's birthday.

No one could sleep, and after finding some rather dubious photos in Bryant's phone (Female Fire Warriors and female Guardsmen), the topic shifted to Warhammer, then slowly to religion. Sam, a proud atheist, was put out like a light. Eventually we did get to sleep at around 4. We all got up around 9, except for Chris who needed to go for tuition and left early.

We played Super Smash Brothers till around 1, had lunch, then headed off to the Writer's Festival, where Gail Simone, writer of the Birds Of Prey comic series, was holding a talk at the Arts House. Bryant is nuts about the series, Sam was excited since she wrote Deadpool, and the rest of us were there because we were going LANning after that.

Of course, we didn't count on nobody knowing where the bloody hell that was. From the taxi driver to the Singapore Tourism Board, no one had a clue. Bryant was hyperventilating until we finally found the place, which turned out to be just outside the Supreme Court.

Talk was okay till Bryant asked his first question regarding why Huntress dresses so promiscuously despite having been sexually abused in the past. My first thought was "WTF?!?!?" My second was to hide under the seat. Mark and Sam Wang followed suit. I didn't dare listen to his second and third one, but judging by Gail Simone's friendly reaction to him and the rest of us at the autograph session, I don't think she had any problems with them. Whew....

Bryant needed to get his fix of Birds Of Prey, so he didn't come LANning with us, which might have been a good thing, since we took awhile to find a LAN center with space and Dark Crusade. Eventually, when we finally did, we had a good time, mostly because I somehow conjured up 6 Flayed One squads along with the Lord and a Pariah Squad backed up by a couple of Warrior squads and an Immortal squad. Poor Sam Wang's Blood Angels never had a chance..... I should go back to Necrons.

Who the hell lets Necrons build up so fast? And Sam Wang is quite the Warhammer nut, so I assume beating him would be more than a little difficult. Good job!
