I cannot overstate how much the fascists in America are saying the quiet part out loud right now.

This is a genuine tweet from the US Department of Homeland Security. It features Judge Dredd, a fascist cop from a militarised police state that overthrew the democratically-elected US government. He is a literal fascist and the poster child for a nation that overthrew America in a coup.

The Trump administration used him on a recruitment poster.

When a fascist says they are a fascist, believe them and oppose them.

WarGameHammer Channel Announcement

After a lot of consideration, we have decided that the time it takes to review Combat Patron magazine, edit the battle reports and put together each individual magazine issue's video is far, far too long. Those of you who watch the channel will undoubtedly have seen that it's getting longer and longer between episodes as a result.

Initially we discussed changing the format to an issue review plus a highlight reel from each issue's battle scenario. That's also not going to work, sadly. In addition, Zoë (our show host and main editor) has expressed a fair amount of concern that while the channel was supposed to look at multiple war games, we've become focussed pretty much only on 40k.

So we are going to take a little time away and come back with our new plan. Right now the new plan is for a weekly "This week in Wargaming" news and commentary video plus live streamed battles using various game systems. The schedule, format, etc are still to be settled on but we think it will make the channel stronger and more interesting for viewers in the long run.

Thank you for your support over the year this channel has been running. We've really appreciated it and we hope you continue to enjoy what we produce in the future.

Last year, I took Jenny, my sister and my brother-in-law to see Steve Hofstetter live in Manchester. It was an amazing show and now he's put out the set we saw as a combined documentary & comedy special. You can see it for free on YouTube and I highly recommend it.

Part comedy special and part documentary, Steve Hofstetter weaves his stand-up about anxiety through interviews with comedians from all over the world.WATCH ...

John Oliver slams Dean Cain for joining ICE: “You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: if all you can get is Dean Cain, you are f*cked.”

“I’m not saying that ICE isn’t finding people. I’m just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of ‘The Dog Who Saved Christmas,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Holidays,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Halloween,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Easter’ and ‘The Dog Who Saved Summer,’ maybe you are in trouble... On the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are f*cking zero."

I have met with the world’s premiere Bond fans (I.e. my Dad and my wife, who can discuss Bond for hours on end without stopping) and we have scientifically ranked all the official Bond films. Left is best, right is weakest.
