Quotes (from this video)
- the rules are are how you play the game it's not the lore it's not the art it's not even like the models or the terrain it's the rules that Drive the experience of the game play
- I want to tell you about some things some mechanics and stuff like that that I don't personally like to see in wargaming Miniatures design
- I believe that companies want to use custom dice for their games because then it's just another thing that you have to buy from them
- War doesn't happen in an orderly fashion
- you as the player have a certain amount of agency over your own force and that's important to making them feel like your own force
- analysis paralysis when when trying to build a new list if you just give them the list up front right so that they don't have to worry about well how many of these should I take and did I take enough of those and do I have enough points and all that kind of stuff it just allows them to then focus on learning the game

- HOAs are a blight on this country.
- My first videos were shot on a Nikon D5100, which I had to trick into shooting, well, that's not true. I didn't have to trick it into shooting video. I had to trick it into kind of giving me manual control of how I shot video.

- This stuff looks like it came straight out of Dawn of War video game.
- I used rattle can primer on my last metal minis. It's what I did with my old 40k minis as well.
- The game itself can be very standalone. You can use whatever miniatures you want. It's very miniature agnostic.
- The games play very quickly because it's um it's not about like, oh, I've got five wounds. It's like, oop, I got shot. That guy's out.
- I'm leaving because 40k is constantly changing the rules or I'm leaving because it's too expensive.
- Don't get into 40k unless it is the first year of their three-year cycle. That's probably a good piece of advice for sure. If you're going to get into 40k, do it when a new edition comes out. That's the best time, and it's still not a great time.
- GW have been real weird about the way they've been dealing with stores lately.
- It's a multi-billion dollar market cap company and you guys can't have a like a website backend for people to put their orders in. You got to use Google Docs. Are you crazy?
- Space Station Zero is probably my second favorite if I had to choose. My first favorite probably being um Majestic 13.
- It was definitely uh was a was a thing that we did a lot uh at the uh there when we lived over there on uh that place burned down.
