Back to Monsterpocalypse after a little break. This week Jeremy tried out Lo-Tron who is the other metamorph that comes in the Voltron box set. I decided to use Rakadon, which is Jeremy’s favorite so far. 

We couldn’t decide on whether Morphers/Flyers could use teleporters, due to the fact that it seemed to over-power those particular types of pieces. We ended up letting them go through, but next time we’ll make a house rule not too. That was, in the end, what ended up doing the most damage. 

Jeremy would send his Morphers all the way to my side of the map and started disrupting my power base from the get go. I ended up holding him off and kept managing to take down his health with my regular units as opposed to my monster. When the fighting made its way to the other side of the map, it was easy to get my fliers over there to block and hit his monster. 

Jeremy did have some good moves throughout the game. He threw Rakadon behind some buildings which got me stuck against the edge of the map because Rakadon can’t jump or fly. It would have taken me a few turns to get our of it. 

My units ended up doing quite a bit of damage to Lo-Tron at this point so it was pretty much over.

Great game of Monsterpocalypse last night. Jeremy is getting much better with Voltron. There were a few points where I had no idea what to do. I was dumbfounded. I started using a power attack called Ram that knock a building into a monster on the other side for a point of damage. Its an attack that can require a cheaper cost as opposed to attacking the opponent directly.

At the end, after many repairs on Voltron’s part, I managed to use Ram to knock a nuclear power plant for the finishing blow.

Pteradax is my favorite sculpt and quickly becoming my favorite monster to play as. 

Another win for me last night at our weekly Monsterpocalypse game. I’ve found that the Alpha form of Ultra Tyrannix is really powerful. All the damage I did against Voltron the whole game was done through them. In fairness, Jeremy had a couple of the Voltron cats next to each other, and when I used explosion it did double damage. He knows not to bunch them up for next time.

I picked up the DMZ box for the Lords of Cthul team for Monsterpocalypse last week, and I got to try them out on my neighbor Jeremy and Rakadon. Ulgoth is a pretty mean beast and once he gets in for the beatdown, it comes hard. He is great when people try to surround him because enemy units adjacent just die when he’s hit. He can’t be thrown (unfortunately for Jeremy, he thought that meant he couldn’t be smashed either. Terminology is very important in this game) and he does super damage in his Hyper Form.

Only downside to Ulgoth seems to be his weak defense and low health. He is certainly aggressive though.

Really fantastic Mexican Pulp Art. You can view the mega post of them here. Some of them are weird and then some of them are weird.

I did some work for a local comic shop and got a bunch of store credit. Today I bought a starter and a bunch of boosters for this game called Monsterpocalypse. It looks really cool. I’m hoping to get some of my friends to play. 

My friend Gerry’s final animation for his course at Sheridan. Its a good time.

Awesome sewn things made in Halifax. There are lots of appliances, cameras and monsters! Check them all out.
