While there have definitely been thing that Games Workshop have done that have caused consternation and critique in the community I think it’s also important to commend them when they make the right decisions. There have been a few things in the past month that have recently jumped out at me as being really positive…

40K Stoat’s Center Tackles the End of the World
The end is nigh. For the first time ever the game is unbalanced, GW seems uninterested in intervening to fix anything, the meta is awash in a sea of buggies and flyers, and there are naught but cheaters, grifters or charlatans for opponents. Surely we are in a time when men say openly that “Reece…
Applying Goal Orientation Theory to Warhammer
One thing that graduate students often share with five year olds is a burning desire to share what they are learning with others.

No article today, dear readers, but instead I have an extra-long video for you! The much anticipated second part of the mental health discussion is here! Dr. Nahumck took close to 2 hours out of his day (and part of the Dodgers’ game!) to speak to me and answer some questions.
