]]> AJM Nerdcore theteam@digitalfoxtalent.com Nagash Wasn’t Born Evil. Here’s Why That’s Worse. Everyone’s playing Nagash in Total War: Warhammer III right now. But before he was a giant skeleton in a very silly hat, he was a prince who buried his own brother alive. I first read about him in Nagash the Sorcerer years ago, after the Vampire Wars books got me into Warhammer, and he’s stuck with me ever since. This is Part 1 of his story. We go from a jealous prince in Warhammer’s version of ancient Egypt, to the man who invented necromancy, to the spell that wiped out an entire civilisation. You’ll also find out why the Tomb Kings are their own faction, and why even the Skaven thought he’d gone too far. Part 2 covers how he came back, picked a fight with Sigmar and ended up an actual god of death. Who’s the next Warhammer character you want me to cover? Tell me in the comments.

]]> 678 This 60-Minute TOLKIEN Story Will Help You Fall Asleep A Tolkien story to fall asleep to. I read The Choices of Master Samwise from The Two Towers, along with the letters Tolkien wrote while he was writing it in 1944. This one's a bit different for the channel. I've been enjoying "lore to fall asleep to" videos, so I've made one. Get comfy, turn the lights down, and tell me in the comments if you'd like more like this. With The Rings of Power coming back for season three, there's more Lord of the Rings on our screens than ever, and I think that's great. But I keep wondering whether we're getting any closer to understanding the man who created it. So I've taken one chapter, the last chapter of The Two Towers, and followed it through Tolkien's letters. Sam thinks Frodo is dead and has to decide, on his own, whether to carry on. Tolkien wrote it in May 1944, in the middle of a war, while his son Christopher was training with the RAF in South Africa. The first time he read it aloud, to C.S. Lewis, Lewis cried. Along the way I talk about:- the letters Tolkien sent Christopher while he was writing the chapter- the morning he read it to C.S. Lewis- Letter 131, where Tolkien says Sam rises to "supreme heroism" at this exact moment- the ordinary soldiers Tolkien said Sam was largely based on, and the school friends he lost in the First World War- Frodo's failure at Mount Doom, mercy, and the scene Tolkien called the most tragic in the whole story- Faramir, Charles Williams, and what the battles in The Lord of the Rings are actually for- why all of this is so hard to film, and how Peter Jackson's films handled Sam's choice THE READINGS, IN ORDERThe Two Towers, "The Choices of Master Samwise" (Book IV, chapter 10)The Letters of J.R.R.

Who the Emperor of Mankind is, and how the man who banned religion ended up worshipped as a god
What the Warp is, and the four Chaos Gods: Khorne, Nurgle, Tzeentch and Slaanesh
The Horus Heresy, and why Horus reminds me of Morgoth
The Aeldari, Necrons, Orks, T’au and Tyranids, and the faction I’d look up first

At the end I explain why you don’t need to start with the Horus Heresy books, and which book I’d read first if you love the Blood Angels.

TIMESTAMPS:

00:00 - Intro
02:37 - Lesson 1: There Are No Good Guys
03:53 - Lesson 2: The Emperor of Mankind

For each one I cover how it plays, what people who've played it are saying, and roughly what it costs in pounds. Every game on the list is under £35. At the end I pick the one I'd bring home and the one I'm least sure about.

These aren't reviews. I haven't played any of them yet. This is my Essen 2026 solo wishlist, plus why Thousand Year Old Vampire changed how I think about playing board games on my own.

Games Workshop just revealed the Warhammer 40k Christmas Battleforces for 2026, and the Blood Angels box is getting torn to pieces online. I actually collect Blood Angels. So I sat down for an honest chat about it.

The Blood Angels Battleforce, the Angelus Assault Force, has 11 models in it:
Commander Dante
A Blood Angels Chaplain with Jump Pack
A Death Company Brutalis Dreadnought
3 Sanguinary Guard
5 Death Company Marines with Jump Packs

It has the lowest points value of the seven Christmas boxes, and the Chaplain is the older kit. Some of the criticism is fair. I just don't think the box is as bad as everyone is making out.

This isn't a breakdown of every box. It's a chat about why the Warhammer community feels so negative right now, and why that matters if you're new to Warhammer 40k and thinking about asking for one of these for Christmas.

In this video I talk about:
- My second-hand Blood Angels army from eBay (SHOCK!)
- My badly painted Death Company, and why they're still my favourite squad
- The Christmas Dreadnought I built with a leg on backwards
- What I'd change about the Blood Angels box
- Why 11 models might be a good thing if you've got a full-time job and a pile of unpainted models
- What I'd tell a friend who wants to buy one

The seven Warhammer 40k Christmas Battleforces are:
Space Marines: Indomitus Task Force
Blood Angels: Angelus Assault Force
Space Wolves: Champions of Fenris
Chaos Space Marines: Cult of Destruction
Chaos Knights: Helhunt Lance
Orks: Armoured Blitzmob
Necrons: Disciples of the Nekrosor

Which box are you getting? And how big is your pile of unpainted models right now? Tell me in the comments. If you're new to Warhammer, please join in. You don't need to know everything to have an opinion.

]]> 938 Burnout Devs Just Made The Best STAR WARS Game In 23 Years This is where i buy all my games 👇🛒 Alex’s Eneba Store: https://ene.ba/Alex⚔️ Best Warhammer Deals: https://ene.ba/Alex-Warhammer🎁 Cheapest Gift Cards: https://ene.ba/Alex-Giftcards Promo codes to save even more 👇GETTINGHOT: 9% off games, gift cards & subsLUCKY7: 7% off games, gift cards & subs 💸 SNAKZY 📱 Play games. Earn rewards. Cash out→ https://snakzy.me/ajmnerdcore Star Wars Galactic Racer is sitting at 88 on Metacritic on PS5 from 68 critic reviews, and players have given it 8.4. That makes it the best reviewed new Star Wars game since Knights of the Old Republic in 2003. It’s made by Fuse Games, a studio set up by ex-Criterion developers, the people behind Burnout and Need for Speed. Star Wars has apparently died about fourteen times now. So why is everyone suddenly excited about a racing game? In this Star Wars Galactic Racer review I talk about why being a Star Wars fan started to feel like hard work, why the podracing hype is really about being ten years old in 1999, and why this isn’t really a podracing game at all. I also get into old Sebulba’s playable memories, why KOTOR is still my favourite game ever, what happens when Burnout developers get handed the Star Wars toy box, and the one decision I can’t believe they made.

The reason is a tiny bit of yellow plastic: the double-telescoping lightsaber. I own Luke's lightsaber (well, a £250 Padawan Outpost replica), so I went down the rabbit hole. I cover how the original prop started life as a camera flash handle from a London shop, why the blue lightsaber was really Anakin's, and why Luke's green one only exists because the blue blade kept vanishing against the Tatooine sky. Then it's the toys. Kenner sold kids an empty box for Christmas 1977, gave the first Luke, Vader and Obi-Wan figures a saber that snapped if you looked at it, and quickly swapped it for a simpler one. The ones that survived are now worth thousands, and the record for a double-telescoping Luke is $161,457.60. I also emailed Vectis with a few questions, and I've put together a simple three-step test so you can check your own old Star Wars figures before anything goes in the skip. I'll post the hammer price once the auction's done, so keep an eye on my feed. What's still sitting in your loft? Tell me in the comments.

Earn rewards. Cash out→ https://snakzy.me/ajmnerdcore Do you still love Warhammer 40k but feel like you're always one release behind? You're not the only one. I came into 40k by buying somebody else's Blood Angels army off eBay, and I'm still stripping and repainting it one squad at a time. Lately I've noticed a lot of creators and long-time fans stepping back from Warhammer, so I went through Reddit threads, comment sections and Games Workshop's own numbers to work out why. In this video I look at the three things wearing people out: how fast 11th edition releases are coming, the September price rise and the $420 limited edition Space Marine codex, and the classic units like the Tactical Squad and Dreadnought heading to Legends. I also give Games Workshop some credit, because plenty of people are enjoying 11th edition. Then I share what I'm doing with my own army, and the one rule that got me painting again. What was your first 40k army, and are you still playing it? Tell me in the comments.

This is part three of the series, and it's where the actual drama lives. Netflix just announced a new D&D show, Ravenloft, centred on the vampire Strahd, right after their other D&D series got cancelled in development.

Why Ocarina of Time is still my favourite Zelda nearly thirty years later, and why the remake this November has me properly nervous.

I was about ten when I first played it, three days at a time on a rented N64 copy from Blockbuster after a decent school report. This video is everything that game did to me the first time round: Hyrule Field feeling like Middle-earth, the ReDeads and Wallmasters I still haven't forgiven Nintendo for, the Water Temple with no walkthrough except a cousin who wouldn't let you forget it, and the music that takes me back to my actual childhood bedroom rather than anywhere in Hyrule.

It's also about why "that's just nostalgia" isn't the cop-out people think it is, and why I'm more nervous about the Ocarina of Time remake than excited. Nintendo are about to show me exactly what Hyrule looks like, and I've spent thirty years remembering a completely different one.

If you had your own first Hyrule, whatever game that actually was for you, I think you'll recognise every bit of this.

]]> 793 You Asked Me To Make Lembas Bread. This Was A Mistake. You asked, so I made lembas bread from a real Tolkien cookbook, and it's exactly why you should never cook with me. A bunch of you in the community asked me to try cooking lembas, the Elvish waybread that keeps the Fellowship going all the way from Lothlórien, so here we are. I grabbed Recipes from the World of Tolkien: Inspired by the Legends, picked the lembas recipe, and tried to follow it like a normal, calm, organised adult. I am not a normal, calm, organised adult. I have ADHD and a very loose relationship with measuring things, so expect tangents, missing ingredients, a kitchen that slowly descends into chaos, and me getting distracted by Tolkien lore at every possible moment. This is a proper informal vlog, no script, no plan, just me, a cookbook, and some questionable decisions. Does it actually taste like something an Elf would hand you before a long journey? Or is one small bite enough to fill the stomach of a grown man for all the wrong reasons? Watch to find out.

]]> 1371 Can This D&D Game Work WITHOUT Any Dice Rolls Part 1 if you missed it:    • This Studio Already Got D&D Wrong Once   Warlock: Dungeons & Dragons is secretly built on forty years of real D&D lore, and I go through all of it. This is part two of the series. Last time I covered what the game actually is and how split the reaction's been. This time I get into how it actually plays, whether Tasha and Darkon hold up as real D&D lore, and my honest verdict on whether this is a good way into the hobby if you've never played D&D before. There's a surprising amount of real Dungeons & Dragons buried in this game. Tasha isn't a character made up for the trailer, she's Iggwilv, one of D&D's oldest villains, going back to Gary Gygax in the 1970s. Darkon and the Ravenloft setting come from the actual tabletop lore too. I go through why that matters, how the combat and magic system feels to play as someone who runs a level 9 Hexblade Warlock at their own table, and whether playing this actually counts as playing D&D. Short answer on that last one: no, but it might be the best doorway into the world of D&D you'll find right now. There's also a setup for part three at the end, because tailoring everything for newcomers comes at a cost for the people who've been playing for years, and that's tangled up in some properly rough news out of Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro.

Turns out it's built entirely around Warlocks, which is exactly what I play at my own table - level 9 Hexblade, for anyone counting. This one covers what the game actually is, the studio's slightly rocky history, and why the internet's already arguing about whether it even counts as real Dungeons & Dragons. Three-part series this time. Part 2's where it gets personal - the actual gameplay, how much of this is real D&D lore versus made up for the game (there's a patron reveal that caught me properly off guard), and my honest verdict on whether it's worth it if you've never played D&D before.

]]> 958 Reasons NOT to Paint With Me, Demonstrated Live on Samwise Gamgee I painted a Samwise Gamgee figure for Hobbit Day with zero plan, and it's exactly why you shouldn't paint with me. I am not calm. I am not collected. I am not whimsical. I have ADHD, zero chill, and apparently a lot to prove, so for Hobbit Day I decided to build, prime, and paint a Samwise Gamgee figure completely unscripted, uncut, and unfiltered - and it is exactly the chaos you'd expect. We start in my kitchen with a croissant (golden syrup and cheese, no I will not be taking questions) and a White Monster. From there: opening the box, assembling him, taking him out to the garden to prime - where I couldn't find anything to balance him on, so he got primed standing on one of my dogs' old bones, as one does. Then the "painting setup," which is generously described as horrendous and barely in focus. You will be able to tell I am a total noob within about four seconds. That's the point. To end things properly (and calmly...ish), I read the final chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring - focusing on Sam, the one member of the Fellowship who is somehow the opposite of me in every way: patient, steady, whimsical. A good reminder of what I'm aiming for, even if today's video is proof I'm not there yet. Every clip is exactly as filmed. No cuts, no edits, no plan — just the honest, chaotic reality of trying to make art with an ADHD brain, for Hobbit Day.

]]> 3187 This NEW 40k Game Needs No Painting, Rules Or Friends Owlcat, the studio behind Rogue Trader, just revealed Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Here's what it actually is. Dark Heresy is a turn-based, isometric RPG set in the Calixis Sector, where you play an Inquisitorial acolyte investigating heresy and corruption instead of running your own voidship like in Rogue Trader. In this video I cover what the game actually is, why I trust Owlcat after playing Rogue Trader myself, the real catches around the beta (no release date yet, and the Founder's Pack isn't free), what the beta's actually like right now, why this isn't just Rogue Trader with the names changed, and my honest verdict on whether you should hand over money to play it early. I've also got my own Warhammer tabletop experience in here, including the Blood Angels vs Tau game that convinced me Dark Heresy might genuinely be an easier way into this hobby than the tabletop side ever was.

]]> 702 This FREE Mod Will Cost You Nothing But Your Whole Weekend A completely free Lord of the Rings total conversion mod for Bannerlord just shipped - here’s what it actually is, what it costs, and what to expect. Tales from the Age of Men turns Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord into Middle-earth — real factions like Rohan, Gondor, Mordor and Isengard, a full campaign map, armies, and huge battles. It’s built by a small fan team, funded through Patreon, and it’s completely free. In this video I cover what Bannerlord normally is (no prior knowledge needed), what the mod actually adds, the honest downsides (it’s not finished, PC only, and doesn’t work through Xbox Game Pass), and exactly what this whole hobby costs you compared to something like tabletop wargaming. Full install steps and the mod’s Discord link are in the pinned comment, so this video stays focused on whether it’s actually worth your time. Spoiler: I’m playing Rohan first. Obviously.

In this video I cover what Bannerlord normally is (no prior knowledge needed), what the mod actually adds, the honest downsides (it’s not finished, PC only, and doesn’t work through Xbox Game Pass), and exactly what this whole hobby costs you compared to something like tabletop wargaming.

Full install steps and the mod’s Discord link are in the pinned comment, so this video stays focused on whether it’s actually worth your time. Spoiler: I’m playing Rohan first. Obviously.

]]> 772 I Explored TOLKIEN's World Without Paying A Penny I found a free Tolkien exhibition hiding in a small museum in Bewdley- first editions, real artwork, one surprising story. This is the next stop in my Tolkien Tours series, where I visit the real-world places connected to Tolkien and Middle-earth. This time it's The Magic of Middle-earth at Bewdley Museum - completely free to visit, with first editions of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion behind glass, original artwork, and the real story behind a single painting of Lúthien that ties straight back to Tolkien's own marriage. It's not really a video about the films. It's about Tolkien the person — the bit I think is getting lost under the sheer amount of Middle-earth content heading our way. If you've ever loved this world but never gone further than the movies, I think this one's worth ten minutes of your time. 📌 CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro: A Free Tolkien Exhibition?

No internet rumours, no "my mate's cousin worked at Games Workshop" stories, just six A-listers who've admitted, on the record, that they're into Warhammer 40k exactly like the rest of us.

In this video, I go through Henry Cavill's favourite Space Marine faction, the celebrity who's actually won Golden Demon awards for miniature painting, and the Warhammer 40k tweets from a My Chemical Romance frontman that somehow sum up this entire hobby in two lines. Plus the famous names that show up on every "celebrities who love Warhammer" list online, with zero proof behind any of them.

]]> 815 This MEDIEVAL FESTIVAL Made Me Feel 12 Again I spent a day at the Loxwood Joust — the UK's biggest jousting festival and the closest thing this country has to a real renaissance faire. Loxwood Joust is a full-scale medieval and fantasy festival held every August at Loxwood Meadow in West Sussex, England — the UK's answer to an American-style renaissance faire, built around full-contact jousting instead of just a marketplace and a stage show. In this video, I go hands-on with the whole thing: the in-character medieval kingdom, the real history of jousting (starting as 11th-century military training and ending, unexpectedly, with the death of a French king), what a day actually costs, whether it's worth it with zero costume and zero medieval history, and my honest verdict on whether I'd go back. 0:00 Intro1:13 What Loxwood Joust Actually Is4:09 The Real History Of Jousting (& Renaissance Faires)8:15 Why You Should Actually Go10:35 My Honest Verdict Also covered: the Eglinton Tournament of 1839 — Britain's own real-life Renaissance Faire revival — Normal Person Mode vs Full Send, and why grown men are quietly getting back into hobbies like Warhammer, D&D and LARP. @TheLoxwoodJoust Loxwood Joust official site & tickets: https://loxwoodjoust.co.uk Loxwood Joust on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loxwood_joust Watch next — https://youtu.be/F4OO_fG4jEI?si=nIX8F1gHNlIaMym_ Have you ever been to a renaissance faire, jousting tournament, or medieval festival — worth it, or a bit much?

Everything you need to know about Sauron's most famous disguise, explained with zero book-reading required. In Season 1 of The Rings of Power, Halbrand turned out to be Sauron in disguise - and if you've only watched the Lord of the Rings films, that twist can feel like it came from nowhere. This video breaks down exactly who Halbrand is, how Tolkien seeded the idea decades before the show existed, and why nobody watching had a "secret advantage" over you. We also cover what the Season 3 teaser confirmed at Comic-Con: Sauron forging the One Ring, a five-year time jump since the fall of Eregion, Jamie Campbell Bower joining as Celeborn, and Simon Pegg voicing the Balrog.

]]> 1459 The Cost to Start WARHAMMER 40K in 2026 (No Surprises) What does it ACTUALLY cost to start Warhammer 40k in 2026? I priced the exact same shopping list 3 ways - no upsells, no surprises. Getting into Warhammer 40k always feels like the hardest part is money — everyone online seems to be dropping £180 on the latest launch box, and it's easy to assume you need all of it just to get started. You don't. In this video I break down what it actually costs to start Warhammer 40k with one Combat Patrol and a full hobby tool kit, priced three realistic ways: buying everything direct from Games Workshop, buying the exact same list from a discount retailer like Element Games, and going fully secondhand + DIY via eBay, Vinted and Facebook Marketplace. I also cover why Combat Patrol beats a big two-army starter set for beginners, and a quick look at what the WTC 2026 rankings say about which factions people are actually playing right now. No jargon, no gatekeeping, no "just buy another box" - just the real shopping list and the real totals for each budget, so you can pick a starting point that actually fits what you've got to spend.

]]> 1119 If I Started Warhammer TODAY, I'd Buy This Box First Games Workshop just quietly released the biggest Combat Patrol update Warhammer 40K has ever had — a 184-page Companion book, six new missions, and a full rules refresh — and almost nobody's talking about it. In this video I break down exactly what's changed, why I think this is genuinely the best entry point Games Workshop has ever built, and why — despite an entire wall of Combat Patrol boxes in every Warhammer shop in the country — it barely got a mention during the 11th Edition preview cycle. I go through what Combat Patrol actually is for complete beginners, whether it's actually good value compared to buying kits separately, my honest theory on why it's flying under the radar, and exactly which Combat Patrol I'd buy first if I was starting completely from scratch today.

]]> 1628 LoTR Lore That Makes GONDOR Unlike Any Kingdom In Fantasy Gondor went nearly 1,000 years without a king. This is the Tolkien lore behind Minas Tirith that most people never hear about. This is Part 1 of the Minas Tirith series. We're building the LEGO Minas Tirith set and going deep into the history at the same time. Last video we put the city together brick by brick. This time we find out what was happening inside it. We cover the Stewards of Gondor and how a temporary arrangement lasted almost a millennium. The dead White Tree standing forgotten in the Citadel because nobody could bring themselves to remove it. Aragorn's secret history inside Gondor long before the War of the Ring. And how Sauron spent years using a palantír to convince Gondor's Steward that the fight was already over. All the Lord of the Rings lore explained properly. No gatekeeping. No assumed knowledge. Never read the books or watched the films fifty times — it doesn't matter. You're welcome here. Part 2 will cover the siege of Minas Tirith itself. New to the series?

]]> 1469 You NEED To See This RDR2 GTA 6 Theory. Here's Why. There's a GTA 6 fan theory going around that Jason might actually be related to Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2. I couldn't ignore it, so let's talk about it. Rockstar just dropped a new GTA VI trailer and a load of screenshots, and within days the internet had stitched together a theory linking Jason Duval to Arthur Morgan - comparing jawlines, timelines, and everything in between. It started on Reddit months ago, quietly, then got picked back up on TikTok and properly exploded. I've replayed Red Dead Redemption 2 four times. I still can't play Arthur as anything other than a good man. So when this theory landed on my feed, I went further down the Reddit and TikTok rabbit hole than I'd like to admit - and along the way I remembered a detail from Arthur's story that I think breaks the whole thing. This isn't a long, heavily-produced deep dive. It's more of a chat - the theory, why it looks convincing, where it falls apart, and why I think we're all still a little bit in love with Arthur Morgan nearly eight years on.

]]> 1295 You Need to WORRY About TOLKIEN. Here's Why There's more Middle-earth content coming than we've ever had. I don't think that's automatically good news for Tolkien. This one's a build video and a chat video at the same time. I'm working through bag ten of the 8,278-piece LEGO Minas Tirith set, and while my hands are busy I'm talking through something that's been sat in my head for weeks: why I think Tolkien the man is at real risk of becoming a footnote as Middle-earth turns into more films, more shows and more games than ever before. Along the way I get into why Tolkien wasn't just an author but something closer to a subcreator, why Boromir is one of the most misunderstood characters in the whole legendarium, and why the story was never really about destroying the Ring — it was about protecting the Shire. I also talk about Sarehole Mill and Puzzlewood, two real places that changed how I read these books completely. Whether you've read everything Tolkien ever wrote or you've only ever seen the films, I think this one's worth ten minutes of your time.

I also answer the question I get asked more than any other: is right now actually a good time to start Warhammer?

]]> 1384 The Board Game LotR Fans Have Waited 25 Years to Own I am a pessimist about the current wave of Lord of the Rings media. I've said it on this channel before, and the numbers back me up.But The King's Gambit is the exception. This is the Lord of the Rings board game fans have been quietly waiting for — and most of them don't even know it exists yet. It's built on the bones of Star Wars: The Queen's Gambit, one of the most beloved and impossible-to-own games ever made. A genuine grail game. Restoration Games has taken that system — four simultaneous battles, interconnected decisions, no two games ever the same — and rebuilt it entirely around the Battle of Pelennor Fields. The Rohirrim charging across open ground. Gondor defending Minas Tirith. Aragorn fighting to retake Pelargir. Frodo and Sam just trying to survive Mordor. All happening at once. All connected. Exactly the way Tolkien wrote it. In this video I break down where the game comes from, why the original Queen's Gambit became a grail game, all four battlefields with lore context for anyone newer to Middle-earth, and exactly what the Kickstarter includes.

]]> 1247 Vampire: The Masquerade Just Invaded D&D Blood Points. Disciplines. The Beast. Six iconic vampire clans as subclasses. Here's what's actually in Bound by Blood, and why this crossover is bigger than most people realise. D&D Beyond has announced a full collaboration with Vampire: The Masquerade, published by Ghostfire Gaming - the team behind Grim Hollow and Dungeons of Drakkenheim. The new Kindred class runs from levels 1 to 20 with six clan subclasses (Brujah, Gangrel, Lasombra, Nosferatu, Toreador, and Ventrue), two brand new tension systems, and an included Dark Ages adventure called One Last Goodbye - set in Northern Britannia, 700 CE. Not a subclass bolted onto existing rules. A full vampire class fuelled by blood, temptation, and the constant fight to stay human. In this video I break down exactly what's in the book, why the mechanics feel genuinely different from anything D&D has done with vampires before, and what it has in common with Blood Angels lore and Thousand Year Old Vampire - two other vampire stories built around the same uncomfortable idea: that being extraordinary always costs you something. Whether you're brand new to tabletop RPGs, a D&D player who's never heard of the World of Darkness, or someone who's been playing Vampire: The Masquerade since 1991 and is quietly judging all of this - this one's for you.

]]> 1067 What No One Tells You About MINAS TIRITH Most people who've seen Lord of the Rings think they know Minas Tirith. The great white city. The last stronghold of Gondor. The place that holds when nothing else can. But nobody actually talks about where it came from. And the real story is wild. Minas Tirith didn't start out as the capital of Gondor. It started as a small fort built to guard a graveyard. It was the lesser of two sister cities, an afterthought next to Minas Ithil. It held a palantír and not much else. The city we know and love was the backup plan that simply outlasted everything around it. This video covers the full origin story: the founding of Minas Anor in the Second Age under Elendil and his sons Isildur and Anárion, Sauron's attack and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, the long decline of Osgiliath, the Kin-strife civil war, the Great Plague of the Third Age, and the moment Minas Anor was finally renamed Minas Tirith, Tower of the Guard. I'm also talking about Anárion, who I think is one of the most underrated characters in Tolkien's legendarium, and making the case that Isildur deserves more credit than history gives him. All of this while building the LEGO Minas Tirith set. Knowing what this city went through makes holding these pieces feel completely different. If you're coming to Tolkien lore for the first time or you've been a fan for years, this series is built to be approachable, properly researched, and a bit different to what else is out there.

There's a lot of noise around the Armageddon launch box and I want to cut through it honestly. I haven't bought it. And in this video I'll tell you exactly why, and why that might actually be the most useful thing I say today. We cover what's actually changed from 10th Edition, what's inside the Armageddon starter set, whether your existing Codex is still valid, how Combat Patrol works for new players, and what you genuinely need to start playing your first game of Warhammer 40K.

]]> 3798 Is This the Best TOLKIEN Event in Britain? I visited the @TolkienSociety Sarehole Festival, two days, £8, held at the Birmingham watermill that gave Tolkien the Shire. Here's what was there, what it was like, and why it matters more than you might think. Sarehole Mill in Hall Green, Birmingham was where Tolkien spent his childhood, running through fields, fishing in streams, and looking at an industrial skyline that many scholars believe became Mordor. The Tolkien Society brought it back to life for one weekend, and it was one of the most quietly extraordinary things I've attended. Rare first editions, Viking and Norse traders, birds of prey, live music, themed food, and a talk from rare book dealer Tom Ayling that I am still thinking about.

In this video I break down everything Playground Games showed: the morality system that actually works differently to anything Fable has done before, the social and economic loop that had me buying a pub within minutes, the combat, the character customisation, and the one prediction I'm putting my name on for launch day.

]]> 1582 The Moment Jack of Blades Made Fable Real Again The new Fable trailer has divided people... and I get it. The dark opening nearly lost me too. But there's one moment at the very end that changes the entire conversation, and if you know your Fable lore, your jaw is going to hit the floor. In this video we break down everything in the new Fable reboot trailer — the two camps of divided opinion, what the darker tone actually means for the franchise, the Isabelle character design, why the demon door matters more than people realise, and a full lore breakdown of Jack of Blades and why his return is such a big deal.

]]> 2761 WARHAMMER 40K: Dawn of War 4 Gets The Mechanicus PERFECT The new Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 trailer is here and honestly… it might be the coolest look we’ve had at the Adeptus Mechanicus so far. So in this video I'm breaking down the weird world of Mars, machine gods, giant robot walkers, cybernetic soldiers, and why the Mechanicus might end up being one of the most unique factions in the entire game. If you’re completely new to Warhammer 40K, don’t worry, this is very much a beginner-friendly overview without any gatekeeping. Think of it less like a university lecture and more like chatting to a nerdy mate who’s had far too much caffeine and access to lore videos. I cover: What the Imperium actually isWho the Adeptus Mechanicus areWhy they worship machinesThe Noosphere Network gameplay mechanicsSkitarii, Ruststalkers, Kataphrons & Imperial KnightsWhy Dawn of War 4 is looking ridiculously promising already This trailer really does feel like classic Dawn of War energy again.

]]> 3934 What EVEN Is a Mandalorian? STAR WARS Lore Explained Simply In this beginner-friendly guide to Mandalorian lore, I break down the complete Canon history of the Mandalorians in simple English without needing a Star Wars degree, three Wookieepedia tabs open, or emotional support from Dave Filoni. We cover everything from the origins of the Mando’ade and Mandalorian culture, to the Darksaber, Bo-Katan Kryze, Din Djarin, Grogu, the Clone Wars, the Great Purge of Mandalore, Death Watch, the Night of a Thousand Tears, and how all of this connects directly into The Mandalorian and Grogu movie. If you’ve ever sat through a Star Wars conversation nodding confidently while internally buffering like a Windows XP loading screen… this video is for you. This is a beginner’s guide focused on Canon Mandalorian lore, but we also touch on Legends, George Lucas canon, Disney canon, Tarre Vizsla, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Mandalore, Mandalorian Space, the Jedi Order, the Galactic Republic, the Galactic Empire, the New Republic, and why Mandalorians somehow manage to turn every disagreement into a civil war. Whether you’re completely new to Star Wars lore or a long-time fan of The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Mandalorian, Knights of the Old Republic, Warhammer, LOTR, gaming, sci-fi, or fantasy storytelling, this is a deep dive into one of the most important cultures in Star Wars history.

]]> 2731 The Full Story of Darth Revan (KOTOR Lore Deep Dive) If you’ve ever wondered who Darth Revan really is, why Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is still talked about like it’s sacred text, and how one character managed to be a Jedi, Sith Lord, war hero, and walking identity crisis all at once… this is for you. In this video, I’m diving into the full Darth Revan story, breaking down his origins, the Mandalorian Wars, his fall to the dark side, and the moment that still emotionally ruins players to this day. Along the way, I’m also showing off an incredible Darth Revan helmet, because if you’re going to talk about one of the most iconic Star Wars characters ever created, you may as well look the part. Whether you’re completely new to Star Wars lore, a long-time fan of KOTOR, or just here to figure out why people won’t stop going on about Revan… this is a full, beginner-friendly deep dive with just enough sarcasm to keep things honest. And yes - there’s a moment in this story that hits like stepping on a Lego in the dark. You’ve been warned.

]]> 1796 I Went to SALUTE 53… Here’s What It’s REALLY Like SALUTE 53 is Europe’s largest independent wargaming event, and in this video I share my honest experience attending this UK wargaming convention at the Excel Centre in London. If you’re into Warhammer, tabletop gaming, Dungeons and Dragons, or the wider tabletop gaming community, this gives you a real look at what a major tabletop gaming convention in London is actually like - beyond the highlight reels. I cover everything from the reality of costs (travel, parking, and budgeting), to navigating the crowds, exploring over 100 demo games, and seeing the incredible miniature painting competition that showcases the very best of the Warhammer hobby. I also went in searching for a solo RPG, which I’ll cover in more detail in a follow-up video, along with the games I played and standout finds from the event. More than anything, this is about the experience - the atmosphere, the people, and why events like SALUTE are such a big part of nerd culture in the UK and the tabletop gaming community.

]]> 1306 WARHAMMER 40K Lore: Armageddon EXPLAINED In this video, I discuss the complete history of Armageddon in Warhammer 40K, from its origins as an Ork stronghold to becoming the Imperium’s unluckiest industrial hellscape. We’re talking daemon invasions, multiple WAAAGHs, legendary characters like Yarrick and Ghazghkull, and why this planet is now central to Warhammer 40K 11th Edition. I cover all three major wars, the War of the Beast, the Chaos invasion led by Angron, and how this setting has shaped Warhammer 40,000 from 2nd Edition all the way to what’s coming next.

]]> 4796 Gaming Doesn't Feel Fun Anymore In this video, I am about to complain about modern gaming - from £400 entry fees just to play a single title, to £60 games that may or may not actually work when you load them up. This isn’t a polished review. It’s a proper sit-down, honest conversation about where gaming is right now, and whether it still feels worth it. From next-gen console lockouts and rising game prices, to the gamble of buying unfinished releases and the strange shift from “fun hobby” to “financial decision”… I break down why so many of us are hesitating before hitting that buy button. If you’ve ever looked at a game, checked the price, and quietly closed the tab - this one’s for you. And I want this to be a conversation, not a lecture. So jump into the comments and let me know where you stand...are games still worth it, or are we being slowly priced out of something we love?

In this video, I break down The Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict, which is a brand new tabletop strategy dice game set in the Third Age of Middle-earth, where you don’t just play the heroes… you also get to play the villains.

]]> 670 This Church Door Might Have Inspired THE LORD OF THE RINGS… Welcome back to Tolkien Tours - the series where I explore the UK looking for places that feel suspiciously like they’ve wandered out of Middle-earth. In this episode, we’re in the Cotswolds at St Edward’s Church in Stow-on-the-Wold - home to what might be the most unintentionally fantasy-looking doorway in England. Yes… the one framed by two enormous yew trees that looks like it should absolutely require you to speak friend and enter.

]]> 2247 WARHAMMER 40K Preview Reaction This isn’t your usual ultra-polished breakdown. This is me, freestyling it with no notes and far too many opinions, talking through everything from Jump Pack Chaplains and Vanguard Veterans to 11th edition changes, narrative play, and whether Games Workshop have absolutely lost the plot… or nailed it. We’re covering the new Warhammer 40K preview, the return to Armageddon, gameplay changes in 11th edition, modular detachments, combat updates, and why Orks continue to behave exactly as expected. If you’re into Warhammer 40K lore, tabletop gameplay, Blood Angels, Astra Militarum, or just enjoy someone trying to make sense of it all in real time, this one’s for you.

]]> 4407 Thousand Year Old Vampire REVIEW: The Solo RPG That Will Emotionally Ruin You Got some ideas for content you would like me to cover? Let me know here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... I’ve been playing Thousand Year Old Vampire for a few weeks now, and it has completely ruined the standard for solo RPGs. In this video, I break down exactly why this quietly devastating journaling game has such a grip on me, from its deceptively simple dice system to the genuinely uncomfortable choices it forces you to make. This is a deep dive into how the game works, what makes it so compelling, and why it manages to turn something as simple as crossing out a memory into a minor existential crisis. We look at character creation, memories, skills, resources, and the slow, inevitable decline of an immortal life that cannot possibly hold onto everything. If you enjoy gothic horror, narrative RPGs, or anything that sits somewhere between Dark Souls and Interview With The Vampire, there is a good chance this will be right up your street. What you will find in this video: A breakdown of the core mechanics of Thousand Year Old VampireHow the memory system quietly becomes the most brutal part of the gameWhy losing things in this game hits harder than you expectCharacter creation and the immediate emotional damage it causesDifferent ways to play, from quick sessions to full journalingMy own playthrough experiences and questionable decisions Timestamps 0:00 – Right, I have made a terrible emotional decision2:59 – The game politely starts ruining your life12:06 – Skills, resources and other things you will inevitably lose17:20 – Character creation but with immediate consequences21:28 – You are now visibly a problem to society24:51 – Two ways to play, both end in regret35:13 – Rosa did not survive this playthrough39:03 – So what have we learned other than emotional damage If you enjoy solo RPGs, tabletop games, or narrative-driven experiences that lean heavily into atmosphere, loss, and questionable life choices, this is one you should absolutely check out. I will be covering more games like this, along with other deep dives into nerdy corners of tabletop and storytelling, so feel free to stick around if that sounds like your sort of thing. #RPG #vampire #solorpg #gamereview #tabletoprpg Learn more about your ad choices.

Games Workshop has revealed four new Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol boxes, so I sat down with a brew to have a relaxed look through them. Are these genuinely great starter forces for a new army, or is this just Games Workshop rolling a natural 20 on Summon Impulse Purchase again? From the surprisingly cool Kroot to pirate Chaos Marines, Night Lords terror squads, and dangerously stylish Aeldari Corsairs, I’m breaking down what’s in each box and whether they’re worth the hobby commitment.

If you’re curious about Warhammer 40K Combat Patrol, new 40K box sets, and what this might mean for a possible 11th edition, grab a brew and join the chat.

]]> 5050 HURON BLACKHEART EXPLAINED: Lair of the Tyrant FULL Breakdown | WARHAMMER 40K Lore Got some ideas for content you would like me to cover? Let me know here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... I finally got my hands on the physical copy of The Maelstrom: Lair of the Tyrant and in this video I go through it properly: the slipcase, the lore, key locations in the Maelstrom, Huron Blackheart and the Red Corsairs, Prince Yriel and the Aeldari Corsairs, and the main narrative section that ends on a very Inquisition-flavoured cliff edge. If you’ve been waiting for a beginner-friendly breakdown of what Lair of the Tyrant actually says (not just Warhammer Community previews), this is it. I explain the setting, but we still hit the important keywords: Maelstrom, warp storm, Huron Blackheart, Red Corsairs, Astral Claws, Badab War, Blackstone Fortress, Crucible of Champions, Aeldari Corsairs, Prince Yriel, and why the Imperium is inevitably preparing to make everything worse. This is a Warhammer 40k lore deep dive with plenty of “why is this place like this” context, plus the story beats that feel like they’re setting up the next major Maelstrom campaign. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro: I’ve got the physical copy and I’m emotionally unwell0:53 Part 1: Where the Maelstrom is and why it’s basically space hell with pirates3:50 Part 2: The Maelstrom map, key locations, and Huron’s “definitely legitimate” empire14:10 Part 3: Maelstrom Annals, Badab War context, and Huron’s rise as Blackheart23:21 Part 4: Red Corsairs breakdown and the Rogues’ Gallery of awful managers33:46 Part 5: How Huron runs the Red Corsairs like a corporate restructure with chainswords39:17 Part 6: Raid on the Crimson Eyrie, Prince Yriel’s plan, and Huron’s ship-harpooning42:25 Part 7: First-hand Maelstrom horror stories and the Inquisition’s “just in case” plan45:35 Conclusions: What it all means for Huron, Yriel, and the next Maelstrom mess What’s in this video:I cover the Maelstrom as a setting (not just “big warp storm”), including how it stays stable enough for pirates and warbands to build bases.I go through the lore highlights for Huron Blackheart and the Red Corsairs, including the tone of the book’s history and what it implies about their current scale and threat level.I talk about the Aeldari Corsairs and Prince Yriel, what they’re doing in the Maelstrom, and why this narrative is basically “space elves make expensive decisions” in book form.I break down the main story section, including the Crimson Eyrie raid and the ending missive that feels like it’s laying tracks for the next escalation. If you’ve read Lair of the Tyrant, I want to know: is this building Huron up as a proper long-term villain again, or is it Warhammer doing what it always does and teasing catastrophe while everyone suffers politely? #warhammer #lairofthetyrant #warhammer40k #huronblackheart #warhammerlore #warhammerforbeginners #begginers AJM Nerdcore is represented by Digital Fox Talent.

I go through the lore highlights for Huron Blackheart and the Red Corsairs, including the tone of the book’s history and what it implies about their current scale and threat level.

If you’ve been wondering how to start Warhammer without rinsing your bank account, this is where I begin. In this series, I’m planning a proper Warhammer on a budget journey ahead of 11th Edition, saving £20 a month to build a playable force for just £100. This isn’t theory. I’m starting from absolute zero, no models, no paints, no dice, and building a realistic beginner plan using second-hand miniatures, smart hobby spending, and a bit of patience. If you’re new to Warhammer 40k, returning after years away, or just trying to avoid financial regret, this is for you. We cover budgeting, buying second-hand Warhammer safely, choosing the right army, hello Red Corsairs, what hobby supplies you actually need, and how to build towards 500–1000 points without panic-buying a Combat Patrol you’ll regret when 11th Edition drops. This is Warhammer 40k for normal people. No gatekeeping. No £500 starter lists. Just a clear, step-by-step plan to get you playing and painting without blowing the grocery budget.

]]> 4541 ARC RAIDERS First Gameplay – Panic and a Pickaxe Do you have an idea of a topic you would like me to cover next? Let me know via this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... In this video I play ARC Raiders for the very first time - no practice run, no warm-up, just raw gameplay, mild overconfidence, and a pickaxe where a gun should have been. After spending ten days doing a full lore deep dive into ARC Raiders, I decided it was finally time to test whether knowledge actually translates into survival. It does not. For clarity, I am a complete BEGINNER at this. Extraction shooters are not my natural habitat. I normally live in enormous open-world RPGs where I can wander into a forest for three hours because a rock looks narratively significant. I like controlling the pace. I like over-preparing. I like saving frequently and pretending my mistakes never happened. ARC Raiders does not allow that. So yes, this is ARC Raiders BEGINNER GAMEPLAY in the truest sense. I am learning in real time. Often the hard way. Occasionally via explosion. If you’re looking for elite tactical mastery, you may wish to manage expectations. If you’re looking for honest first impressions, permadeath panic, chaotic looting, accidental explosions, questionable squadmates, and one deeply unnecessary attempt to beat a Bastion to death...you’re in the right place.

]]> 2433 Why a BALDUR'S GATE 3 TV Series Might Miss the Point Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting an HBO TV series… apparently. In this video I talk about everything we know so far about the BG3 adaptation, why Larian Studios not being involved is setting off alarm bells, and why “set after the events of the game” is about as reassuring as a DM saying “trust me” while rolling behind a screen. I dig into the multiple Baldur’s Gate 3 endings, the looming canon problem, Craig Mazin’s track record post-Chernobyl and The Last of Us, and whether this should have followed the Fallout route instead: same universe, new story, no tampering with our save files. If you care about Baldur’s Gate 3, Dungeons & Dragons, the Forgotten Realms, or the idea of Raphael potentially surviving in someone else’s “official” timeline, this one’s for you.

First, we explore a strange corner of Tolkien lore, looking at Tevildo, Prince of Cats - an early villain who eventually evolved into Sauron. If you like Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth history, Warhammer vibes, D&D side quests, or obscure fantasy lore, you’re in the right place. Second, I take you along on my visit to Cats Protection to learn about their Lifeline service, which helps cats and their families escape domestic abuse by providing safe, temporary foster care. Trigger warning: Part 1 briefly discusses domestic abuse. No further difficult topics are mentioned after that. @catsprotection Lifeline:https://www.cats.org.uk/what-we-do/cp-lifeline After the serious bit, it’s cats, Tolkien, and side-quest energy.

I break down the light-and-dark duality of Lorwyn and Shadowmoor, the Great Aurora, eclipsed realms, and what happens when a world starts rewriting your memories. Alongside opening product from Lorwyn Eclipsed, I focus on the story behind the cards, explaining the plane’s history, its factions, gods, and why this setting matters so much to long-time MTG fans and complete beginners alike. This is less about pure unboxing and more about understanding the world, the conflict, and the themes that make Lorwyn–Shadowmoor so unique.

]]> 4195 VECNA Explained: The Real D&D Lich God Behind STRANGER THINGS Let's look at the real Vecna from Dungeons & Dragons lore, not the Stranger Things version. I explore who Vecna actually is, where he comes from in Greyhawk, how he became a lich and later a god, and why his name fits Henry Creel so well. If you’re interested in D&D history, Vecna: Eve of Ruin, liches, archvillains, or high-level campaigns, you’re in the right place. I break down Vecna’s origins, his missing Hand and Eye, Kas the Bloody-Handed, his multiple deaths and upgrades, and whether you can actually kill him for good. Short answer: not really. Long answer is in the video.

If any of that feels like too much today, please skip sections using the timestamps or come back when you’re ready. Christmas can be brilliant for some people. For others, it’s pressure, noise, grief, masking, and trying to keep it together when you’re already running on empty. In this video, I share a practical Christmas survival guide built from your messages and advice, with scripts, boundaries, and low-effort coping tools for getting through the day.

]]> 844 Stranger Things D&D Starter Set Review Let's have a look at Welcome to the Hellfire Club, the new Stranger Things–themed Dungeons & Dragons starter set for 5.5E. From retro nostalgia and emotional damage courtesy of Eddie Munson, to whether this box is actually a good place to start playing D&D, I crack it open and give you the honest verdict.

]]> 1008 EXODUS Is the Dark Sci-Fi RPG BioWare Fans Have Been Waiting For It is time we talk about EXODUS, the upcoming sci-fi action RPG from ex-BioWare developers that’s built around time dilation, impossible choices, and some truly alarming space politics. I break down what EXODUS actually is, how The Archimedes Engine sets up its universe, why time dilation matters both narratively and mechanically, and what I learned from speaking directly with the developers ahead of The Game Awards. We talk hard sci-fi, relativistic travel, emotionally devastating consequences, and the Mara Yama – a faction that firmly lives at the grimdark end of the spectrum. If you’re interested in BioWare-style storytelling, deep lore, choice and consequence, or sci-fi that takes its science seriously, this is for you.

First, I take a look around NerdWorks, a brand-new hobby shop in Worcester city centre (with another store coming to Malvern). It’s packed with Warhammer, MTG, D&D, Pokémon, PC gear, lightsabers, and most importantly, plans to become a proper community space for gamers, painters, and general hobby gremlins of all ages. Then I unbox and talk through Space Marine Jump Pack Intercessors, why I’m adding more of them to my Blood Angels, and how they actually perform on the tabletop. We go over the models, the Captain with Jump Pack, the codex rules, points, movement, Deep Strike, Hammer of Wrath, and whether flying angry Marines are worth it compared to their ground-based cousins. Important notes before anyone sharpens a chainsword:• Yes, I know Jump Pack Intercessors aren’t meta right now• This is about casual play and actually enjoying the game• I couldn’t assemble them in the video because I’ve misplaced my hobby clippers like a professional idiot• You’ll see Infernus Marines being painted instead while I talk Intercessors• Thank you for your patience and understanding If you enjoy Warhammer 40k, Blood Angels, hobby shop tours, Space Marine units, or supporting local gaming stores, this one’s for you.

]]> 2191 The Best D&D Experience You Can Play Without Friends IRL If you’ve ever tried to organise an actual Dungeons & Dragons session as an adult, you’ll know it’s basically an exercise in discovering who in your friendship group has secretly taken a multi-class in Calendar Avoidance. So today I’m looking at Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked - a digital tabletop RPG that attempts to solve the age-old problem of “my friends are busy until the end of time” by replacing the physical table with a virtual one and the real dice with absolute units that behave like auditioning pinballs. In this video I talk about how Battlemarked blends classic D&D fantasy with Demeo’s VR-born tactical board-game chaos. I talk about the campaigns, the classes, the combat, the voice acting, the minis, the storytelling, the environments, and—most importantly—the rats. So many rats. Oceans of rats. If you’ve ever wanted a digital tabletop adventure that feels like D&D but with 97% less prep and 300% more chaotic dice rolls, this might be your new obsession. I cover everything from character customisation to class synergy to the joy of punting giant dice off bridges and still landing a crit. It’s all very dignified. Timestamps: 00:00 – “Behold: My D&D Trauma Dump (The Intro)”Why I love tabletop RPGs but can’t organise adults to save my life, and how Battlemarked attempts to rescue us all. 01:42 – “The VR Goblin Era Begins”Demeo’s origins as a VR dungeon crawler and why it feels more like Descent than Shakespearean roleplay. 03:10 – “Yes, It’s D&D… But Digitally… But Also Not Quite”How Battlemarked becomes a tactical digital board game stuffed with dice, cards, and mild existential dread. 04:25 – “Freedom for Forever DMs (At Last)”On finally getting to play instead of emotionally parenting a party of chaos gremlins. 06:01 – “Fully Voiced and Surprisingly Not Annoying”Voice acting, narration, enthusiasm levels that shame Dave, and a shockingly immersive vibe. 07:32 – “Meet the Cast: The Fellowship of Mild Regret”Paladins, Rangers, Rogues, Sorcerers, Bards, Fighters… and the personality disorders that define them. 09:15 – “Rats. Why Is It Always Rats.”Dungeon crawling, fog-of-war, tactical teamwork, and an alarming number of rodents. 10:48 – “Dice: Now Available in ‘Ridiculously Huge’”The physics, the crits, the fumbles, the chaos, and the joy of disrespecting the laws of probability. 12:14 – “Neverwinter Tourism Board Would Be Proud”Story setups, charming environments, fancy taverns, and miniatures absolutely everywhere. 13:50 – “Zooming In Until You Become Godzilla”The delightful detail in the minis, environments, and the digital-table-as-stage-play aesthetic. 15:20 – “Skill Checks, Chaos, and Card-Based Shenanigans”How Battlemarked keeps D&D flavour while swapping traditional rules for brisk Demeo-style actions. 16:55 – “Final Thoughts: Send Help, I Am Addicted”Does it replace real D&D? No. Does it scratch the itch when my group next meets in 2047? Absolutely. In this video I cover:Demeo Battlemarked review, Demeo x D&D gameplay, Dungeons & Dragons virtual tabletop, digital TTRPGs, co-op RPG gameplay, VR tabletop gameplay, Crossplay D&D-style games, Battlemarked classes, tactical dungeon crawler, D&D minis, tabletop gaming in VR, Fantasy RPG review, Neverwinter, Forgotten Realms board game, Dungeon crawling strategy, and giant dice physics that should be illegal. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #battlemarked #demeo #gaming #gamereview #gamer #review AJM Nerdcore is represented by Digital Fox Talent.

]]> 1081 WARHAMMER 40K Lore Meets MOTORCYCLE LIVE In this video, I talk about Suboden Khan, the First Khan of the White Scars in Warhammer 40K. After visiting Motorcycle Live and being surrounded by real-world superbikes, it felt like the perfect time to explore one of Warhammer’s most iconic biker characters. This is a beginner-friendly breakdown of Suboden Khan, the White Scars, their combat doctrine, their history, and why this character is becoming such a standout figure in the lore. I cover who Suboden Khan is, how the White Scars operate, what makes their Brotherhood structure unique, and how their fast-attack, high-mobility warfare sets them apart from other Space Marine Chapters. I also have a look at the Third War for Armageddon, Huron Blackheart, the Red Corsairs, the attack on Chogoris, the fall of Jurga Khan, the decline of Jubal Khan, and Suboden’s rise through the ranks. You’ll also learn about Suboden’s relics, including his anti-grav bike Thunder, gifted by Belisarius Cawl, and his power glaive Stormtooth.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices In this video, I talk about Suboden Khan, the First Khan of the White Scars in Warhammer 40K. After visiting Motorcycle Live and being surrounded by real-world superbikes, it felt like the perfect time to explore one of Warhammer’s most iconic biker characters.

This is a beginner-friendly breakdown of Suboden Khan, the White Scars, their combat doctrine, their history, and why this character is becoming such a standout figure in the lore. I cover who Suboden Khan is, how the White Scars operate, what makes their Brotherhood structure unique, and how their fast-attack, high-mobility warfare sets them apart from other Space Marine Chapters.

I also have a look at the Third War for Armageddon, Huron Blackheart, the Red Corsairs, the attack on Chogoris, the fall of Jurga Khan, the decline of Jubal Khan, and Suboden’s rise through the ranks. You’ll also learn about Suboden’s relics, including his anti-grav bike Thunder, gifted by Belisarius Cawl, and his power glaive Stormtooth.

]]> 992 The Truth About TO THE MOON EXPO: My Honest Review In this video, I am going to talk about my full experience of the To The Moon Expo at the NEC in Birmingham. This brand-new UK gaming event promised big things, from esports arenas to industry guests and a so-called movement for gamers. I attended without knowing about any of the controversies circulating online, so what you’ll hear first is my real, unfiltered experience of the expo itself, followed by a look at the wider online reaction, the criticisms, the speculation, and some of the stranger details people have discovered. This is a long, detailed breakdown of what actually happened on the day, what the event promised, what it delivered, and how it compares to shows like EGX, Insomnia and UK Games Expo.

Some parts worked, some did not, and the online discourse has been far more entertaining than the drama deserved. If you are looking for an honest review of a new UK gaming convention from the perspective of someone who loves retro games, indie titles and a quiet expo hall, this video gives you exactly that. #tothemoonexpo #gaming #gamingnews #gamingcommunity #tothemoon #nec #necbirmingham #indiegame #indiegames #retrogaming AJM Nerdcore is represented by Digital Fox Talent.

]]> 1407 The Nerdy Q&A No One Asked For (But You’ll Watch Anyway) | LOTR x WARHAMMER Deep Dive You asked, I answered. From Glorfindel vs Sanguinius to Helm’s Deep vs Minas Tirith, we’re diving deep into the nerdiest of nerd debates - Tolkien’s legendarium meets Warhammer 40K lore, with a dash of sarcasm, chaos, and tragic heroism. If you’re new here - welcome! I make stuff about all things nerdy: Lord of the Rings, Warhammer 40K, fantasy lore, and the kind of hypothetical battles that make normal people question our life choices. No clickbait, no “wait until the end!” nonsense, just solid lore talk, questionable opinions, and a few spiritual crises along the way. Timestamps & Topics 0:00 – Intro You asked, I answered. Probably should’ve done a longer intro… didn’t. 0:33 – Glorfindel or Sanguinius? Who wins in a sparring match? Elf-lord reborn vs angelic Primarch. Magic swords or power armour — who takes the crown? 2:42 – What is the best weapon in Tolkien’s legendarium? From Gurthang to Andúril — which Middle-earth blade has the deadliest lore? 4:47 – Have you watched Season 4 of The Witcher? Spoiler: No. And here’s why. 5:10 – What if Aragorn went with Frodo and Sam? Would Middle-earth survive if Strider tagged along — or would it all fall apart faster than a hobbit on Mount Doom? 7:23 – Helm’s Deep vs Minas Tirith: Best on-screen battle? Rain, mud, and lightning versus CGI grandeur — which battle truly rules the screen? 9:37 – Worst Warhammer 40K hot take ever? “Space Marines are overrated.” Oh really? Let’s unpack that heresy. 12:36 – Most interesting Middle-earth location? Númenor — Tolkien’s Atlantis. Pride, punishment, and divine flood insurance. 16:18 – Most misunderstood character in the Horus Heresy? Lorgar — the tragic preacher who loved too much and accidentally broke the galaxy. 18:37 – Who would lead the Blood Angels if Dante dies? Spoiler: nobody. Because when Dante goes, the lights go out with him. 21:16 – What’s an underappreciated thing about The Lord of the Rings? That Tolkien never meant to write it. The greatest fantasy epic was a complete accident. 24:32 – Conclusion That’s 10 questions down. Fancy a Part 2?

9:37 – Worst Warhammer 40K hot take ever?
“Space Marines are overrated.” Oh really? Let’s unpack that heresy.

12:36 – Most interesting Middle-earth location?
Númenor — Tolkien’s Atlantis. Pride, punishment, and divine flood insurance.

16:18 – Most misunderstood character in the Horus Heresy?
Lorgar — the tragic preacher who loved too much and accidentally broke the galaxy.

18:37 – Who would lead the Blood Angels if Dante dies? Spoiler: nobody.
Because when Dante goes, the lights go out with him.

21:16 – What’s an underappreciated thing about The Lord of the Rings?
That Tolkien never meant to write it. The greatest fantasy epic was a complete accident.

24:32 – Conclusion
That’s 10 questions down.

]]> 3697 D&D: Heroes of the Borderlands Review Let’s have a proper look at Heroes of the Borderlands - the brand-new Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set that’s basically built to give you and your mates the smoothest first taste of D&D imaginable. It’s like heading to Dublin for your first pint of Guinness, it just doesn’t get better than that. For years I’ve been preaching the good word of Mines of Phandelver as the best way to learn the game, but this new box takes things in a totally fresh direction. It’s not just a rulebook and a set of dice anymore, this one’s packed with physical bits, tokens, cards, and maps that make it feel halfway between a board game and a tabletop roleplaying session. It’s an entirely new way to learn D&D, and I’m genuinely intrigued to see how it stacks up against old faithful Phandelver.

]]> 1496 Lucius the Eternal: WARHAMMER'S Real-Life ED GEIN? algoryhodI’ve just finished watching the Netflix series on Ed Gein, and it got me wondering if there’s anyone in the Warhammer 40K universe who carries that same disturbing, obsessive energy. After digging through the lore, I landed on Lucius the Eternal - the Soulthief of Slaanesh himself. This video blends Warhammer lore, true-crime parallels, and a touch of Halloween horror to explore how Lucius became one of the most grotesquely fascinating characters in the grimdark future. It’s part history, part horror, and entirely chaos. We’ll look at his rise from gifted duellist to cursed immortal, his connections with Fulgrim and the Emperor’s Children, and how his story mirrors the real-world nightmare of Ed Gein - only taken to cosmic, daemon-infested extremes. Grab a cup of tea and settle in; it’s going to get properly grim.

]]> 2022 WARHAMMER 40K: The Complete BEGINNER'S Guide to ORKS Halfway through Orc-tober, it’d be criminal not to talk about the loudest, greenest, most chaotic lads in the galaxy — the Orks. In this beginner-friendly Warhammer 40K video, I break down who the Orks really are: their bizarre origins, fungal biology, love of “more dakka,” and their galaxy-sized pub brawl of a culture. If you’re new to Warhammer 40K lore or just want a laugh while learning why red ones do go faster, this one’s for you. As always, thank you to everyone who sent in their painted miniatures — you’re the best community of nerds on the internet.

]]> 2372 Best D&D Video Games Ranked – From BG3 to Existential Crisis Simulator Curious about Dungeons & Dragons but not quite ready to don your wizard hat and introduce yourself as “Sparklebeard the Chaotic”? Fair play, I’ve been there. In this video, I’ll walk you through some incredible D&D-style games that let you live the adventure without the social anxiety of joining a real table full of strangers. From romanceable vampires to undead philosophers, we’re covering the best RPGs that capture the spirit of D&D - chaos, dice rolls, and all. Whether you’re new to tabletop RPGs or a veteran looking for something to scratch that adventure itch, this is your guide to the best story-driven, choice-heavy, morally questionable fantasy games ever made. Timestamps: 0:00 – “So, You’re D&D-Curious…”A gentle roast and a soft landing for anyone who’s D&D-curious but allergic to social interaction. 0:54 – “Baldur’s Gate 3: The Bear Scene and Beyond”My full-on love letter to the game that ruined my free time and raised the bar for fantasy RPGs forever. Spoiler: you will fall for a vampire. 7:15 – “Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Setting Yourself on Fire (Again)”The chaotic masterpiece that taught Baldur’s Gate 3 everything it knows. Featuring lizard royalty, accidental arson, and unhinged multiplayer. 12:46 – “Icewind Dale – When Men Were Pixels and Fireballs Were Round”A nostalgic trip back to the frosty north — old-school, crunchy, and unapologetically D&D. Less moral choice, more monster murder. 16:32 – “Baldur’s Gate 2: The Gospel According to Your Nerdy Cousin”The classic that defined RPG storytelling. Still hits harder than half of modern gaming twenty years later. 20:33 – “Planescape: Torment – The Existential Crisis Edition”A philosophical fever dream where you wake up dead, befriend a talking skull, and question your own soul. Deep, weird, and brilliant. 24:54 – “Conclusion: Roll High and Flirt Responsibly”A heartfelt farewell to chaos, crits, and character creation crises. Plus a nudge towards joining a real D&D game… eventually. Why You’ll Love This Video If you’ve ever wondered:What D&D-inspired games are best for beginnersWhich RPGs capture the magic of tabletop roleplayingWhy Baldur’s Gate 3 is basically Skyrim with better writingOr how to get into D&D without touching a dice yet …then you’re in the right place.

]]> 1703 I Was Ready For GHOST OF YOTEI To Let Me Down… Then It Blew Me Away I’ve spent a full week with Ghost of Yotei, and I’m honestly smitten. This isn’t just another sequel phoning it in; it’s a confident, razor-sharp refinement of Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch haven’t reinvented the katana; they’ve simply honed it. The result? One of the most cinematic, emotionally charged open worlds I’ve played in years. From Atsu’s feral vengeance to the breathtaking duels under moonlight, every moment feels deliberate — poetic violence wrapped in beauty. https://www.suckerpunch.com/https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/gam... This video is my full first impressions and early review of Ghost of Yotei — covering combat, story, characters, stealth, exploration, and that gorgeous Kurosawa-meets-lofi aesthetic. If you loved Tsushima, this one might just ruin other open-worlds for you. Watch it all, or jump to your favourite bit below. Timestamps0:00 – “Sharpening the Katana” – My honest first impressions after a week with Ghost of Yotei and why this sequel actually works.3:45 – “Atsu: Chaos in Human Form” – Why our new protagonist is the fiery anti-Jin we didn’t know we needed.7:00 – “Plot Twists and Punch-Ups” – Mid-game surprises, emotional gut punches, and the art of turning violence into therapy.9:57 – “Weapons of Mass Expression” – Breaking down Yotei’s absurdly fun combat system and why every blade tells a story.13:13 – “Stealth? I Hardly Know Her” – On sneaky assassinations, chaotic duels, and how Yotei rewards failure in style.16:04 – “Side Quests That Don’t Feel Like Homework” – Skill trees, shrines, and why Yotei’s open world makes exploration actually matter.19:37 – “Wind Guides, Not Waypoints” – Navigation, vibes, and the beauty of getting lost with purpose.22:20 – “Final Thoughts from the Battlefield” – Why Ghost of Yotei is refinement over reinvention — and possibly my favourite sequel since The Witcher 3. If you’re after a Ghost of Yotei review that’s spoiler-light, brutally honest, and mildly sleep-deprived, this one’s for you. I cover how the combat compares to Tsushima, whether Atsu holds her own as a lead, and what Sucker Punch have done to make this world feel so alive.

In this video, I talk through what the demo offers, how the story connects to the first game, and why this might be one of the most promising Warhammer 40K strategy titles in years.

]]> 977 The SILMARILLION Explained: Forgotten Gods Welcome back to my weekly read-through of The Silmarillion! This is episode two in my series where I’m breaking down Tolkien’s incredible but notoriously complex legendarium and making it more approachable for anyone new to his world. Last time we tackled Ainulindalë - the creation of the world through divine music - and today, we’re diving into Valaquenta, the part of The Silmarillion that introduces the Valar and Maiar. Think of it as Middle-earth’s divine cast list, complete with heavenly drama, cosmic crafting, and one very moody Melkor. I’ll start by giving an overview to make sense of the reading, then we’ll go through each of the Valar and their roles - from Manwë’s skies to Ulmo’s seas, Aulë’s craftsmanship, and Nienna’s grief-turned-wisdom. Along the way, we’ll spot connections to The Lord of the Rings and The Rings of Power that bring these ancient myths to life. If you’re curious about Tolkien’s mythology, the origins of Gandalf, or just enjoy hearing stories about cosmic beings arguing over creation, you’re in the right place. Timestamps:0:00 – In which I greet you and pretend to be organised0:24 – Previously on The Silmarillion: Chaos, Chords, and Melkor’s Mood Swings1:16 – Meet the Valar: Middle-earth’s Most Dramatic Power Couple Line-Up12:27 – Storytime: Reading the Valaquenta (with fewer tears this time) I’m reading The Silmarillion chapter by chapter each week, breaking down the lore and the language in a way that makes sense — and hopefully makes you fall in love with Tolkien’s mythic universe as much as I have.

This is episode two in my series where I’m breaking down Tolkien’s incredible but notoriously complex legendarium and making it more approachable for anyone new to his world. Last time we tackled Ainulindalë - the creation of the world through divine music - and today, we’re diving into Valaquenta, the part of The Silmarillion that introduces the Valar and Maiar. Think of it as Middle-earth’s divine cast list, complete with heavenly drama, cosmic crafting, and one very moody Melkor. I’ll start by giving an overview to make sense of the reading, then we’ll go through each of the Valar and their roles - from Manwë’s skies to Ulmo’s seas, Aulë’s craftsmanship, and Nienna’s grief-turned-wisdom. Along the way, we’ll spot connections to The Lord of the Rings and The Rings of Power that bring these ancient myths to life. If you’re curious about Tolkien’s mythology, the origins of Gandalf, or just enjoy hearing stories about cosmic beings arguing over creation, you’re in the right place.

]]> 2483 BEGINNER vs Ork Painting Challenge WARHAMMER 40K I recently took in Cryptic Cabin’s Orc-tober painting challenge https://crypticcabin.com/products/orc... This video covers my first ever attempt at painting an Ork miniature. For anyone new here, I picked up a full Blood Angels army off eBay earlier this year and have spent the past six months stripping, repainting, and learning the painting side of the hobby from scratch. This challenge was a chance to break away from red bois and try something completely different. The rules were simple but brutal: three random paints, one mystery brush, and no sneaky extras beyond black and white. Just me, a beefy Ork model, and a lot of trial and error. Along the way I wrestled with purple washes, questionable leather effects, and a snow base made from baking soda and PVA glue. For the finishing touch, I even cut up a Monster Energy can to create a chest plate logo and base trim, turning my Ork into a true caffeine-fuelled mascot. This is NOT a painting tutorial - it’s more of a hobby diary where I share the wins, the mistakes, and the slightly unhinged decisions that got me from grey plastic to a finished Ork I can actually field without shame. If you’re into Warhammer 40K, miniature painting, or just want to see how someone bumbles their way through a challenge box, you’re in the right place. I’ve also just hit 20,000 subscribers, which is mad. To celebrate, I’m running a giveaway in collaboration with a friend who makes incredible props and costumes - details are in the video at the end.

]]> 761 Marneus Calgar Lore: WARHAMMER 40K In this video I talk about the lore of Marneus Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines, Lord of Macragge, and arguably the most competent dad in the galaxy. From fighting Tyranid hive fleets to punching a flaming god in the chest, Calgar’s career is a highlight reel of Warhammer 40K’s most outrageous battles. I cover his exploits from his earliest clashes with Hive Fleet Behemoth through to the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman. If you’re into Warhammer 40K lore, Ultramarines history, or just want to know why Calgar deserves more respect than he usually gets, this is the deep dive for you.

This is Warhammer 40K lore explained in a way that’s accessible, a bit tongue-in-cheek, and packed with detail for anyone who wants to understand why Marneus Calgar matters. Whether you’re new to the setting or a veteran of the tabletop, stick around to hear why Ultramar’s Chapter Master has earned his place among the legends of the Imperium.

]]> 892 WARHAMMER 40K Best COMBAT PATROL Boxes: Value for Money Guide This video is my complete Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol review, where I break down the best value Combat Patrol boxes in 2025. It’s taken me absolutely ages to make because of the sheer amount of research and maths involved. I’ve gone through each box, calculated the individual kit values, and ranked them so you don’t have to waste your hobby budget guessing. Yes, I’ve included Chaos Daemons even though their Combat Patrol is discontinued. Why? Because the value inside that box is too good to ignore. I got my entire Blood Angels army second-hand and saved a fortune, so it felt wrong to leave them out. This video is all about value for money, and if you’re eyeing up Daemons on eBay, you’ll want to know exactly why they’re worth considering. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a Warhammer 40k starter army, or a returning player wanting the best Combat Patrol for your money, this guide should help you make an informed choice. From Genestealer Cults to Blood Angels, I’ve ranked the top 10 boxes, explained the lore behind each faction, and hopefully saved you from pulling your hair out with spreadsheets.

From Ciri finally getting the spotlight, to combat that looks like Dark Souls if Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a Polish accent, this video is your one-stop tour of CD Projekt Red’s most ambitious RPG yet. I’ll be covering:The Witcher 4 release date rumours (spoiler: don’t hold your breath until 2027).Why Ciri’s new role could make this the best open-world Witcher game to date.How combat’s changing (less Geralt the tank, more teleporting goth ninja).The origins of witchers, their mutations, and why villagers still think they’re creepy.And of course, what on earth Geralt’s grumpy uncle cameo might look like. If you’re hyped for The Witcher 4 gameplay, or just want to hear why witchers are basically fantasy Batman with a side hustle in dodgy potions, this one’s for you.

]]> 1429 DAWN OF WAR: Still the King of WARHAMMER 40K RTS Let’s address the elephant in the room: no, I’m not here to dissect the Dawn of War 4 trailer frame-by-frame like some caffeinated tech priest with Photoshop. What I am doing is far more important - I’m replaying Dawn of War: Definitive Edition after twenty years and telling you whether it still slaps harder than a Chaos Lord at a family reunion. Spoiler: it does. I paid £21 for this nostalgia hit - cheaper than a Friday night curry that betrays you in the morning - and somehow it’s still one of the best Warhammer 40k strategy games ever made. From sync-kills that feel like WrestleMania in power armour, to mods that turn Baneblades into Thomas the Tank Engine’s final form, this is peak RTS gaming.

I’ll cover campaign design, mods, sync-kills, graphics tweaks, performance, and why this RTS still wipes the floor with half the junk released on Game Pass. Because here’s the truth: Dawn of War isn’t just another RTS. It’s Shakespeare with bolters. It’s Age of Empires II but with chainswords. It’s the RTS equivalent of Die Hard - timeless, endlessly replayable, and just a bit ridiculous in the best possible way.

]]> 655 WARHAMMER 40K: Raven Guard EXPLAINED In this video I am talking all things Raven Guard – the sneakiest, broodiest, most Batman-meets-Wolverine bois that the 41st Millennium has to offer. From their grim origins, through the absolute car crash that was Istvaan V, all the way to their current boss Aethon Shaan (aka Batman with a jetpack and lightning claws), I’m covering the lot.We’ll chat Warhammer 40k lore, dodgy gene-seed, stealthy war crimes, and why the Raven Guard are basically the SAS in power armour. Oh, and of course there’s the new Combat Patrol box, which is basically the Avengers but everyone’s wearing black and has a jetpack.So grab your boltgun, slap on some warpaint, and get comfy – this is the ultimate Raven Guard deep dive, with just the right amount of sarcasm to keep you awake.

]]> 4380 WARHAMMER The Old World: MIAO YING'S Lore Warhammer: The Old World is back, and at the centre of the storm is Miao Ying - the Storm Dragon of Grand Cathay. She’s the general, the dragon, the living legend, and possibly the most terrifying “older sister energy” ever sculpted in miniature form. In this video I talk about her lore, her role in the Great Bastion, her tragic family drama, her first-ever miniature, and why Games Workshop are charging the price of a small kingdom for her. If you’ve ever wondered why Miao Ying is more than just a shiny centrepiece, or if you just want to watch someone justify spending £90 on a dragon, this is your guide.

]]> 283 STAR WARS Legends & KOTOR Lore: DARTH REVAN In this video, I break down the complete story of Darth Revan, one of the most popular and mysterious Star Wars characters. From his rise as a Jedi Knight in the Old Republic era to his fall as a terrifying Sith Lord, through the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, and the Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) twist that blew everyone’s mind, Revan’s journey is pure chaos. We’ll look at his role in Star Wars Legends, his ties to canon (like the Revan Legion in The Rise of Skywalker), and now his upcoming appearance in Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy. Honestly, Revan’s story is like a mash-up of Batman, WWE wrestling, and a midlife crisis...only with lightsabers. If you’re here for Star Wars lore, KOTOR remake news, or just want a laugh at how messy Revan’s life was, you’re in the right place.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices In this video, I break down the complete story of Darth Revan, one of the most popular and mysterious Star Wars characters. From his rise as a Jedi Knight in the Old Republic era to his fall as a terrifying Sith Lord, through the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, and the Knights of the Old Republic (KOTOR) twist that blew everyone’s mind, Revan’s journey is pure chaos.

We’ll look at his role in Star Wars Legends, his ties to canon (like the Revan Legion in The Rise of Skywalker), and now his upcoming appearance in Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy. Honestly, Revan’s story is like a mash-up of Batman, WWE wrestling, and a midlife crisis...only with lightsabers.

If you’re here for Star Wars lore, KOTOR remake news, or just want a laugh at how messy Revan’s life was, you’re in the right place.

]]> 595 FAR CRY 3 in 2025 – Does the BEST Far Cry Game Still Hold Up? Far Cry 3 isn’t just a game... it’s the game that made open-world chaos fun, messy, and unforgettable. From Vaas’ legendary villainy to Jason Brody’s accidental rise from tourist to machete-wielding psycho, this is the story that deserves the TV treatment. But how does it hold up in 2025? Let’s take a wild trip back to Rook Island and find out. In this video, I’ll break down why Far Cry 3 remains one of the best open-world shooters ever made, how Ubisoft accidentally created one of gaming’s greatest villains, and why Jason Brody is still the least convincing action hero since “that guy who screamed WILSON in Cast Away.” Whether you’re here for nostalgia, the madness of Vaas, or just to watch me roast Jason Brody’s beach-bum energy, buckle up — we’re heading back to Rook Island. @Crytek @farcrygame Timestamps0:00 – The Anthology Rumour That Broke My Brain1:00 – Jason Brody’s Terrible Holiday Package2:32 – Survivor: Rook Island Edition (Now With Extra Tigers)3:43 – Indiana Jones Meets Spring Breakers5:16 – Vaas: The Stand-Up Comedian From Hell7:30 – David Attenborough Narrates My Bear Attacks8:30 – 2012 Me vs 2025 Me: A Sad Comparison9:55 – Jason Brody: The Brotagonist Nobody Wanted11:04 – Menus That Think It’s Still 201312:36 – Far Cry 3’s Secret Sauce (No, Not The Tiger Blood)13:43 – Why Far Cry 3 Should Be TV’s Next Big Thing Useful Links:• Far Cry 3 on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/220240/Far_Cry_3/• Far Cry 3 Classic Edition (console): https://www.ubisoft.com/help/article/000062449• Official Ubisoft Far Cry Hub: https://www.ubisoft.com/game/far-cry• Michael Mando (Vaas) talks Far Cry 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G7YF4zrft4• Far Cry subreddit (community discussion): https://www.reddit.com/r/farcry/• Behind the scenes: The making of Vaas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edL5XjJXY9k Keywords for the algorithm Gods (you can ignore this part!)Far Cry 3 review 2025, Far Cry 3 aged well, Jason Brody Far Cry 3, Vaas best villain gaming, Rook Island gameplay, Far Cry 3 TV show adaptation, Ubisoft Far Cry 3 retrospective, best Far Cry game, open world shooters ranked. #farcry #farcry3 #gaming #gamer #gamingnews #gamingcommunity #farcry3vaas #farcry3gameplay #crytek AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

These space dwarves aren’t just mining rocks and sipping space-ale...they’re packing galaxy-crushing tech, grudge lists longer than your arm, and enough stubbornness to make your father-in-law look reasonable. In this video, I dig into their latest codex, meet some new characters, and possibly develop a man-crush on Buri Aegnirssen (imagine John Wick crossed with a mining drill).

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Think you know the Leagues of Votann? Think again. These space dwarves aren’t just mining rocks and sipping space-ale...they’re packing galaxy-crushing tech, grudge lists longer than your arm, and enough stubbornness to make your father-in-law look reasonable.

In this video, I dig into their latest codex, meet some new characters, and possibly develop a man-crush on Buri Aegnirssen (imagine John Wick crossed with a mining drill). If you’re a middle-aged bloke who enjoys dad jokes, big explosions, and pretending your Warhammer backlog isn’t getting out of hand, you’re in the right place.

]]> 711 BEGINNER'S Guide to LORD OF THE RINGS MAGIC: THE GATHERING Think Magic: The Gathering is just for teenagers hiding in dimly lit basements? Think again, my friend. Today, I am talking about The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth - the MTG set so good-looking it could make your cousin Dave bin his Uno deck and start quoting Gandalf. This isn’t just a game; it’s a cardboard Middle-earth vacation, complete with heroes, villains, epic art, and at least one Orc who looks like he’s auditioning for Love Island. Whether you’re a Magic beginner, a Lord of the Rings superfan, or just someone who likes good artwork and yelling “YOU SHALL NOT PASS” across the kitchen table, this one’s for you. I’ll walk you through starter decks, Commander mode chaos, and why Sauron is basically the flaming-crowned James Hetfield of cardboard. If you’ve ever wanted to know what a Land card does, how to summon creatures, or why hobbits apparently make snacks in the middle of battle, you’re in for a treat. And yes...there will be BBQ jokes.

]]> 730 WARHAMMER 40K for BEGINNERS – Why CUSTODES Are a Smart Choice This video is for anyone who’s ever drybrushed gold while pretending not to fancy Henry Cavill - let’s talk about Adeptus Custodes: the Emperor’s golden gym bros. Yes, they’re absurdly powerful in the lore. Yes, they’re elite on the tabletop. And yes, somehow they’re one of the most budget-friendly Warhammer 40K armies you can start with. This is my guide to the Custodes lore, army building for beginners, and why you don’t have to sell a kidney (or your classic car) to collect them. If you’ve ever wanted a force that looks fantastic, plays strong, and doesn’t require painting 120 Guardsmen before you can even roll the dice...this is for you. You’ll get: - A beginner’s guide to Custodes lore (with zero gatekeeping and maximum sarcasm).- Why their elite nature means fewer models, lower costs, and more time for tea.- A breakdown of the Custodes Combat Patrol box and why it’s a cracking starting point.- Unit-by-unit tips so you know your Wardens from your Warden Wardens.- The golden truth about strengths, weaknesses, and how to avoid crying when someone says “mortal wounds.” Whether you’re a brand-new hobbyist, a returning veteran who’s confused why Space Marines are taller now, or just here for the Henry Cavill references, this one’s for you.

This channel is all about Warhammer 40K for beginners, from someone who still forgets rules, misplaces their dice, and doesn’t mind getting tabled as long as the models look cool doing it.

If you’ve got first-time tournament advice or legendary stories of losing to that one guy who brought Votann - DROP THEM IN THE COMMENTS!

]]> 1146 These DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS Classics Are Finally Playable Again You know that sweet, unexpected feeling when your favourite 2000s PC game boots up without immediately crashing your rig? That’s what’s happening here. We're talking Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard and Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone, two criminally underrated classic PC games, getting lightly remastered and re-released on Steam. Yep, it’s happening. And it’s beautiful. Whether you're an old-school DnD fan, a sucker for that early-2000s gaming nostalgia, or just curious about the weird lovechild of RTS and dungeon-crawling RPGs, you’re in the right place. Dragonshard is back with its genre-blending gameplay, updated for modern PCs with higher resolutions, bug fixes, and that sweet sweet ASLR compatibility. Meanwhile, Demon Stone, the hack-and-slash action RPG that feels like a fantasy movie with YOU in the starring role, now comes with full controller support, widescreen modes, and, oh yeah, Sir Patrick Stewart still being cooler than your dad’s vinyl collection. Thanks to the sorcerers over at SNEG, these games are now fully playable on modern systems without needing to chant in binary or sacrifice your GPU. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 – Intro:Old-school DnD games rise from the grave like stylish liches with better resolution and fewer bugs. 0:49 – Part 1: Why These Relics MatterWhy bring back these dusty gems? Because they rock harder than a bard with a +5 lute at a goblin rave. 1:42 – Part 2: Dragonshard - RTS Meets Dungeon Date NightStrategy up top, dungeon crawl down below. It’s like Warcraft and Diablo had a spicy Eberron baby. 4:07 – Part 3: Demon Stone - Now With 100% More Patrick StewartThree heroes, one epic quest, and zero chill. It’s a fantasy-action road trip, and Sir Patrick is the GPS. 6:20 – Conclusion: Should You Care? (Spoiler: Yeah, You Should)Like finding your old Game Boy and realising the batteries still work. Pure nostalgia, now crash-free. Whether you're into strategy games, action RPGs, or just here to hear me describe magic users doing interpretive dance- hit play, hit like, and maybe hit up your old LAN mates while you’re at it.

]]> 780 No More Pocket Ladders! WARHAMMER 3’s Siege Rework is Actually MAD Right then, time to bin the pocket ladders and brace for impact because the Siege Rework Beta for Total War: Warhammer 3 has landed, and it’s about as subtle as a Hellcannon at a tea party. In this video, I talk about the chaos that is Creative Assembly’s latest siege overhaul. They’re trying to make sieges actually feel like battles again - rather than some glorified queue outside a medieval nightclub. I’ll be picking apart the new mechanics, roasting a few decisions, and generally asking whether this is a step forward or just a shiny retread. If you’re after a deep dive into Warhammer 3’s siege rework, an honest opinion or two, and a few cheeky rants about the state of Total War in 2025... hi you’re in the right place. TIMESTAMPS – Skip ahead if you’re not into foreplay:0:00 – Siege This! (Intro)I polish up my trebuchets and throw myself into the Siege Rework beta. Fewer pocket ladders, more bloodshed – what’s not to love? 0:28 – Chaos Chess With Fireballs (What Is Total War: Warhammer 3?)For the uninitiated: it’s chess with demons, Risk on steroids, and occasionally a bear-god. And yes, that’s actually a thing. 4:22 – No More Ladders From Narnia (New Siege Mechanics)Creative Assembly finally bans hammer-space ladders and hands us proper siege toys. It’s like IKEA for warlords - assemble your towers and breach the walls. 5:41 – What’s New, What’s Delayed (Beta Patch Notes & Faction Bits)Kislev’s had a fresh coat of paint, the AI’s had a bit of a talking-to, and the much-hyped Tides of Torment DLC is fashionably late. 7:24 – The Rant Bit (Old Total War vs New Total War)Here’s where I get nostalgic for the good old days. Remember when ports mattered and cavalry hit like they meant it? I do. And I miss it. 9:34 – Final Thoughts (So… Is It Any Good?)Warhammer 3 feels like a band halfway through a concept album – some tracks are bangers, some are just noise.

]]> 776 The LOTR Chapter Everyone FORGETS (But Shouldn’t!) Ever wondered what happens when a bunch of hobbits come home from saving the world only to find out some wannabe wizard turned their peaceful Shire into a bad HOA nightmare? Welcome to The Scouring of the Shire, Tolkien’s ultimate “don’t-mess-with-my-garden” chapter. This isn’t just about defeating the big bad Sauron, it’s about coming home, rolling up your sleeves, and telling the local bully to get off your lawn. From Saruman’s sad attempt at running “Isengard Jr.” to Gríma Wormtongue finally saying, “I’m done with this toxic workplace,” this chapter is equal parts heartbreaking and weirdly relatable (especially if you’ve ever dealt with terrible neighbours). Timestamps: 0:00 – Welcome to Hobbit HOA HellWhy this chapter is like coming home to find your neighbour’s cousin threw a rave in your living room. 0:41 – Saruman’s Sad Evil Side HustleFrom big-time wizard to small-town troublemaker - Saruman’s “revenge tour” begins. 1:45 – Lotho Sackville-Baggins: The Worst Office Trade EverLotho tries to team up with Saruman. Spoiler: it’s dumber than trading your best fantasy football players for “future draft picks.” 3:07 – Bag End Has Been Ransacked (and the Goldfish Has Sunglasses)Saruman’s petty villain arc reaches its low point.

]]> 712 Maladum BOARD GAME – Is This DARK SOULS on a Table? Right, gather round, my fellow board game masochists, because today we’re talking all about Maladum - a dungeon crawler so big, bold, and gloriously cruel that just opening the box counts as a workout.

They’re Warhammer’s golden retrievers of violence — loyal, dangerous, and surprisingly easy to paint. 08:09 – 2: Necrons – Robo-Mummies with Attitude They slept for 60 million years, woke up hangry, and now they want their galaxy back.

They slept for 60 million years, woke up hangry, and now they want their galaxy back. Undead skeleton terminators with lasers? Yes please.

10:41 – 3: Astra Militarum – Humans, But With Extra BOOM

Just regular blokes with helmets, tanks, and a deep belief in “if it moves, shoot it. If it doesn’t… shoot it anyway.”

14:10 – 4: Orks – Green,
Loud, and Hilarious

Like if chaos gremlins discovered Mad Max and thought “Let’s add more explosions and teeth.” The most fun you’ll ever have yelling WAAAGH across the table.

17:59 – Final Thoughts – Pick the Army That Makes You Smile

Robots, tanks, exploding squigs — whatever your vibe, there’s an army that’ll fit. And once you find it? The rest is just glue, dice, and emotional damage.

And as someone who actually plays a level 9 Hexblade, I’ve got feelings. Big feelings.

TIMESTAMPS:

00:00 - Intro

Why Hexblade Warlock Is Getting Yet Another Rework

Unearthed Arcana, broken subclasses, and why this particular Warlock has
players sharpening their swords (and complaints).

1:22 - Hexblade’s 2017 Debut: When Warlocks Went Full Sword Goth

The original Hexblade flipped the Warlock playstyle — turning mysterious backline spellcasters into magical frontline duelists.

Shadow of War Vibes: Why Hexblade Slapped in Baldur’s Gate 3

Patch 8 made Hexblade playable in BG3 — and fans instantly fell in love with charisma-based sword slinging.

2:38 - 2024 Player’s Handbook: No Hexblade? No Problem
(Kinda)

The subclass is missing from the new core rules, but Pact of the Blade got a serious glow-up — here’s what changed.

3:50 - The First Rework: Haunted Sword Mood Ring Vibes

Wizards of the Coast reimagined the Hexblade pact as a sentient weapon… that doesn’t let you hit stuff. Cue disappointment.

7:06 - The June Playtest Fix: Closer… But Still Squishy

The second attempt adds some bite — healing, extra attacks, bonus damage — but still no armor. It’s hoodie-at-a-swordfight energy.

9:34 - Final Thoughts: Can the Hexblade Ever Truly Be Fixed?

From overpowered to underwhelming and everything in between — here’s hoping the next version nails the dark, cursed, stylish sweet spot.

This is your low-stress, no-fuss guide to turning grey sadness into miniature masterpieces — even if your brush control is currently “slightly better than a toddler with a crayon.” We’re skipping the elite-level competition nonsense andjumping straight into real, beginner-friendly painting tips you’ll actually use. No £300 lighting rigs. No 47-step colour theory charts. Just paint, vibes, and the occasional tea-based mistake.

Spoiler: don’t. 2:17 – Brushes, Paints & Mild Panic “Wait… how many colours do I need?!” A crash course in what gear you actually need (spoiler: not much), how to pick a colour scheme that doesn’t look like clown vomit, and why your takeaway lid is your new best friend. 6:32 – Basecoats & Washes: AKA The Glowy Up Phase “Slap it on, let gravity do the rest.” From splashing on your base colours to using washes that magically makeeverything look 57% better with zero effort. Like contouring, but for spaceorks. 10:43 – Drybrushing & Fake Shadows: Lazy but Legendary “Highlighting? I barely know her!” Discover the most forgiving, beginner-friendly ways to add depth, drama, and that “I totally meant to do that” look — without crying into your wet palette. 12:20 – Fancy Finishing Touches (That Aren’t Actually Fancy) “Rust, glitter and emotional weathering.” We’re adding highlights, battle grime, and maybe a bit of sparkle.

Yes, it slaps.” Wrapping things up with a big ol’ hobby hug: it’s not about perfection — it’sabout progress. Your mini is beautiful, even if he looks like he’s beendrybrushed with a sponge.

Whether you're a complete newbie or a lapsed 30K veteranwondering what’s changed since the Heresy was just whispers in a Mechanicum data vault, I’ve got your back.

]]> 751 Solo BOARD GAMERS, You NEED This LORD OF THE RINGS Gem Today, I’m reviewing The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Trick-Taking Game ... which yes, is a real game, no, I’m not making it up, and yes, it’s somehow brilliant. It’s part Tolkien, part card puzzle, part “please let Galadriel win exactly-but-not-too-many tricks” brain meltdown. Whether you're flying solo or dragging friends along like Frodo with Sam, this one is full of charm, cleverness, and surprisingly emotional card-based drama. If you like Lord of the Rings, board games, or talking to yourself while playing four hands at once... you’re in the right place. Grab your lembas bread and let’s begin.

Also, did you know this game even exists??) 0:52 – Bryan Bornmueller, Patron Saint of Solo GamersHe gave us a solo mode we didn’t deserve. We stan Bryan. 2:19 – Trick-Taking? In MY Middle-earth?Yes. And it slaps. Frodo is collecting rings like Pokémon, and Pippin’s just trying not to do anything. Relatable. 4:34 – Playing Solo = Playing All the Characters Like a Deranged Puppet MasterYou are the Fellowship now. Frodo, Sam, Celeborn, Galadriel. One brain, four hands, infinite chaos. 6:59 – Chapter 14 Broke Me (In a Good Way?)Most chapters are quick. This one nearly summoned the Nazgûl. No regrets. 9:23 – Final Thoughts + Emotional Rambling About HobbitsThis game is my new comfort hobby. 10/10 would whisper "one more try" while clutching my coffee and crying in Elvish. TL;DRThis game is clever, actually good solo, and under £25. That’s cheaper than a pub dinner with dessert and lasts longer too. Chapter 14 might eat your soul, but the rest of the campaign feels like a warm trip through Middle-earth, if Middle-earth had trick-taking mechanics and stress-inducing elf math. Seriously, if you love Tolkien, solo games, or arguing with yourself about which hobbit should win a trick, just get it. Thanks for watching. Keep it secret. Keep it safe. Cue Howard Shore music.

Thanks for watching. Keep it secret. Keep it safe.

Cue Howard Shore music. Fade to black.

]]> 762 RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2’s Secret Island Is NOW Fully Playable Look, I don’t say this lightly...but Red Dead Redemption 2 is the closest thing we’ll ever get to playable poetry. It’s the Lord of the Rings of video games, if Frodo had a revolver and deep emotional trauma. This isn’t just another “ooh look how pretty the trees are” video. No. This is a love letter to the wild west fever dream Rockstar gave us, complete with morally conflicted outlaws, dinosaurs I’ll never dig up, and a tropical detour so random it felt like Arthur walked into the wrong genre. Oh, and Guarma? Guarma is that strange but beautiful fever dream of a holiday destination you never asked for, but now can’t stop thinking about. Like going to Bali with more gunfights. Timestamps: 0:00 – A Cowboy Walks into a Therapist’s Office...We start off serious... and then immediately get weird. RDR2 is more than a game—it's a beautifully destructive life choice. 0:40 – Big Map EnergyI wax poetic about the size of the map and try (and fail) not to compare it to Middle-earth again. Also, Arthur Morgan = the bearded softie we all wish we were. 1:42 – Strangers, Dinosaurs, & Existential CrisesWherein I admit I’ve never found all the fossils, Saint Denis is still confusing, and Arthur starts acting like a cowboy philosopher. Also: Nickelback slander? Maybe. 4:12 – Guarma: Holiday Package From HellAt last, unrestricted access to Rockstar’s tropical misstep—thanks to modders who clearly need knighthoods. Guarma goes from plot twist to paradise. 5:51 – Mods, Madness & Emotional DamageGuarma gets the glow-up it deserves. Also featuring: sad console players, angry jungle guards, and modders doing Rockstar’s job better than Rockstar. 7:52 – Guarma: The Fever Dream That StuckWe talk about how this island is both a narrative gut-punch and a secret treasure chest of vibes. Also, why Rockstar locking it down should be a war crime. 9:39 – Conclusion: Therapy With CowboysI wrap things up like a man who’s clearly spent too long riding virtual horses and forming emotional attachments to pixels.

]]> 734 Top 5 WARHAMMER 40K Games You NEED to Play So... you like skulls, space monks, and turning heretics into pixel paste? You're in the right place. In this video, I rank the best Warhammer 40K video games - from glorious retro bloodbaths to strategy masterpieces that feel like chess with chainswords. Whether you’re a lore nerd with a shrine to the God-Emperor or someone who just wandered in here wondering why everyone is yelling “FOR THE EMPEROR!”, this list has something for you. I'm talking about: Space Marine 2 - Like God of War had a baby with a thunderhawk. Dawn of War - RTS perfection with enough yelling to wake a Necron. Mechanicus - Robo-priests, laser pew pews, and the best soundtrack since Gregorian monks discovered dubstep. Rogue Trader - A space opera so big it makes Mass Effect look like a cozy indie film. Boltgun - A shooter so retro it might install dial-up on your PC. Timestamps below, because even in the grim darkness of the far future, we respect your time (unlike the Adeptus Administratum).

]]> 1113 LORD OF THE RINGS: Why BOROMIR'S Death Still Hurts Ever looked at a bloke and thought, “Yeah, he could either save a kingdom or start a medieval fitness cult”, and then watched him do both and cry while doing it? That’s Boromir. Gondor’s finest, Denethor’s golden boy, Fellowship’s designated tank, and quite possibly the most misunderstood lad in Middle-earth. Join me on this long, overly emotional deep dive into the life, death, and honourable glow-up of Boromir, where we unpack heroism, heartbreak, and the power of a good horn blast. Brace yourselves. Things get tragic. Then heroic. Then weirdly uplifting. Timestamps: Because Boromir Deserves Structured Reflection 00:00 – The Horn Sounds: Who Even Is Boromir, and Why Do We Feel So Much?Let's kick things off by introducing Gondor’s favourite jock: a man with noble vibes, tragic backstory, and a tendency to shout “FOR GONDOR!” at small woodland creatures. 5:03 – Bro-Code Activated: The Long, Soggy Road to RivendellBoromir takes the scenic route (by which I mean soul-destroying and horse-losing) to join the Fellowship. One dream. One very confused prophecy. Zero sat-nav. 8:24 – Fellowship Assembles: Nine Walkers and One Very Judgy RingElves, dwarves, wizards, and one guy who really wants to use the Ring like it’s a cursed Swiss Army knife. Boromir starts looking more concerned than a dad at a teenage rave. 14:07 – Things Fall Apart: Boromir’s Breakdown and Redemption on Hard ModeThe Ring whispers, Boromir listens, and things go sideways. A desperate moment, a terrible choice, and then, the comeback. Cue the most heroic last stand since Viking history was invented. 18:45 – Tragic Hero Recap: A Life Lived Loud, Lost Loudly, Remembered ForeverWe summarise the high points, the heartbreaks, and the fashion choices.

Or Just a Man With Too Many Feelings?A spirited chat about moral complexity in Tolkien, featuring Letter 154, character receipts, and why Boromir is basically the poster child for “flawed but good.” Also includes mild wizard slander. 32:51 – One Last Salute: Viking Boat Funeral and Why Boromir Was RobbedWe close out with a proper send-off: sword on chest, horn in two, and the Fellowship singing sad songs like it’s a fantasy boy band reunion tour.

]]> 1277 DEATH COMPANY Explained: WARHAMMER 40K In this video, I show off my freshly painted squad of Death Company bois - black armour, red eyes, and enough trauma to make a Chaplain weep. As always, I'm here to make Warhammer beginner-friendly and just a bit unhinged. We'll talk about their tragic lore, their angsty past, and why they're basically the saddest (and coolest) part of the Blood Angels Chapter. Expect tangents, rants, and wildly unnecessary metaphors. If you're new here: welcome! I'm new to the hobby too, so don't expect Golden Demon, just Good Intentions and a lot of edge highlighting. Timestamps (because you're clever and busy): 0:00 – Sad Vampire Space Marines: The IntroI painted the Death Company and now they're all judging me from the shelf. Let’s talk about their lore while I cry about edge highlights. 3:13 – Horus, Daddy Issues, and the Origin of the Black RageThe 31st Millennium was wild.

0:00 – Sad Vampire Space Marines: The Intro
I painted the Death Company and now they're all judging me from the shelf. Let’s talk about their lore while I cry about edge highlights.

3:13 – Horus, Daddy Issues, and the Origin of the Black Rage
The 31st Millennium was wild. Sanguinius dies, Horus goes full crab-claw villain, and everyone gets a psychic curse as a souvenir.

5:50 – Cursed Like a Victorian Ghost, Armed Like Mad Max
Why the Blood Angels can’t catch a break, and how their haunted minds turn them into grief-fuelled chainsword meteors.

10:03 – Chaplains, Dreams, and the Tower of Sadness
Space priests in skull helmets decide if you’re just tired or doomed forever. Spoiler: it’s usually the second one.

12:52 – Rage Management and Tactical Screaming
These lads don’t just charge mindlessly; they charge with meaning. Like poetry, but with more decapitations.

17:55 – Legends of the Black Armour: Meet the Squad
From Lemartes to Moriar, get to know the Death Company’s most dramatic entries. Think Avengers, but everyone’s mid-breakdown.

23:05 – Chainswords, Tragedy, and the Grimiest Show on Earth
What did we learn? That the Death Company are beautiful disasters. And I love them. And I’m painting more. Send help.

]]> 1576 The New DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Game Might Out-Hype BALDUR'S GATE 3 So imagine if the bloke who made you cry over a robot fish in Jedi: Survivor suddenly decided, “You know what this world needs? Less lightsabers, more fireballs.” And just like that, Tig Asmussen (aka Director of Emotional Damage & Cool Combat) goes full fantasy mode. In this video, I break down the frankly ludicrously exciting news that Tig and his new studio - Giant Skull, which sounds like a Warhammer villain and a pub band at the same time - are making a full-blown, AAA, single-player Dungeons & Dragons game. Yes, an actual one. With dice. And dragons. And, presumably, one player who insists on seducing every NPC. We’re talking cinematic story, Unreal Engine 5 magic, no loot boxes in sight, and maybe...just maybe, combat that feels like God of War met Baldur’s Gate behind the tavern and got into a punch-up. Timestamps for your organisational convenience (and because I’m nice like that): 00:00 - 01:56 – what even is going on01:56 - 04:14 – It's dangerous to go alone—so Tig Asmussen founded a studio and took the entire dev party with him04:14 - 06:36 – Roll credits on fate, because this team-up’s been in the works since Kratos still had a full head of rage-fuelled hair06:36 - 09:01 – After years of Star Wars lore policing, Tig wanted to roll some dice and get weird09:01 - 11:50 – Gelatinous cubes. Owlbears. Mimics. And now: boss fights with orchestral music and slow-mo dismemberment11:50 - 14:44 – Before the dragon, before the betrayal—you have to make sure the jump button works14:44 - 15:55 – Final thoughts and wild speculation, probably involving talking geese and cursed dice If Tig and co. stick the landing, we could be looking at the next great fantasy epic. If not? Well, I still want to play the mimic-opening-a-coffee-shop game. Honestly. Call me, Wizards.

]]> 1060 MAPPA MUNDI : This RPG Said “Put the Sword Down” Right then. What do you get if you cross Dungeons & Dragons with Planet Earth, throw in a bit of The X-Files, and say, “Hang on, maybe let’s fix the world instead of setting it on fire”? You get Mappa Mundi - a tabletop RPG with no combat, lots of heart, and the distinct sense you’ve just enrolled in an eco-therapy programme run by David Attenborough and a druid with a PhD. This is the first in a solo RPG series where I attempt to navigate the strange, beautiful, and slightly haunted world of Evasu — and I thought I’d start by unboxing the thing. I haven’t opened it yet, but I’ve done the research. The vibe is somewhere between Pokémon, Captain Planet, and a late-night episode of Coast to Coast AM. Curious yet? You should be. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – What Is This Then?An RPG for people who like storytelling, nature documentaries, and asking, “But what if we hugged the problem?” 01:19 – Playable Characters That Sound Like They All Host Award-Winning PodcastsArchivist, Diviner, Fixer, Guardian – none of them wield a sword, and yes, I’m absolutely into it. 02:40 – What’s Actually in the Box?Monsters, creatures, journey cards, zero weapons, and a very healthy respect for the natural world. 04:14 – Unboxing Begins – Or, the Bit Where I Start Gently Screaming at Nice Paper StockA live reaction to beautifully illustrated cards, clever design, and possibly having a small existential moment. If you’ve ever wanted an RPG that feels like The Goonies grew up and got jobs saving the environment, this is it. No hit points. No fireballs. Just curiosity, compassion, and a suspicious number of moss references. So come along, let’s see what’s inside, and maybe start saving the world, one very polite roll at a time. #mappamundi #rpg #ttrpg #solorpg #roleplaying #roleplayinggames #boardgames #boardgaming #unboxing #game #tabletopgaming #gaming AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 862 WARHAMMER 40K: Is SPACE MARINE Still Good in 2025? Right then, what happens when Gears of War gets absolutely saturated in grimdark lore and chugs a litre of protein shake? You end up with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition. And I have to say, it’s a glorious, shouty, Ork-splattering good time. Whether it’s slick new textures, very shouty Orks, or controls that are almost modern, I break down everything you need to know (and a few things you probably didn’t) about this updated classic. Here’s how it all plays out: 00:00 - 01:20 | Intro - Old-school charm, protein shakes, and the unholy lovechild of Predator and Doom. 01:20 - 03:06 | The Master Crafted Glow-Up - 4K detail sharp enough to spot Ork dental issues and some fresh insult lines to boot. 03:06 - 05:12 | Control Woes and "The Incident" - Let’s talk about how grenade throwing on the right stick nearly ended me. 05:12 - 06:38 | Bugs (Not the Tyranid Kind) - Featuring moonwalking Orks and enemies too confused to acknowledge my existence. 06:38 - 07:51 | Combat Still Hits Hard - Jetpacks, Thunder Hammers, and an attitude problem. What’s not to love? 07:51 - 09:12 | The Single-Player Experience - No multiplayer for me, but the campaign still delivers that chunky grimdark goodness. 09:12 - 10:09 | Final Thoughts - It’s a classic, with polish. Fewer pixels, more personality. Still wildly enjoyable. I genuinely had a blast revisiting this one - bugs, awkward control schemes and all. If you’ve never played it, now’s a great time. If you have, well, welcome back to the war-torn corridors of nostalgia. For the Emperor. And, apparently, for Creed. #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #spacemarine #spacemarine2 #captaintitus #titus #game #gamer #gamergirl AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 714 New to WARHAMMER 40K? Start HERE Right then, if you're someone who’s always fancied dipping a toe into Warhammer 40,000 but got scared off by the sheer volume of plastic, Latin names, and people shouting “For the Emperor!” like it’s a football chant… you’re in the right place. This is Warhammer 40K for the Confused, the Curious, and the Chronically Overwhelmed. Think of it as your unofficial beginner’s guide, delivered by a fellow nerd who's only just emerged from the box-fresh hobby cocoon, still covered in sprue dust and regret. We’re talking: - What even is Warhammer 40K? (Spoiler: it's like Star Wars had a nervous breakdown at a D&D convention) - What’s an “army” when we’re not invading neighbouring countries? - Should you start with a Starter Set or a "Combat Patrol" box (spoiler: one of them actually makes sense) - Why a Codex is not a type of seafood - How not to bankrupt yourself in the first week (or annoy your spouse with plastic sprue shrapnel everywhere) There’s absolutely no pressure to be good at anything here - I’m still losing games and gluing heads on the wrong way round. But that’s the magic of it: glorious nerdy chaos. We all start somewhere, and I started by buying a Blood Angels army off eBay for less than the cost of a decent pub dinner. Links mentioned in the video: - Warhammer Community Free Rules: https://www.warhammer-community.com/downloads/ - Official Games Workshop Store (Brace your wallet): https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/home - Warhammer 40,000 App (App Store & Google Play): https://warhammer40000.com/the-app/ Whether you’re here because the miniatures look cool, or because your mate won’t shut up about how Orks are just green Cockney lads with guns, this video breaks down what to actually buy, what not to panic about, and how to get started without needing a PhD in grimdark theology. If you’re already a seasoned hobbyist, feel free to drop your wisdom in the comments, and if you’re new, don’t be shy. This channel has one of the most helpful nerd communities on YouTube. Genuinely. You lot are brilliant. Timestamps:00:00 - Intro (mild confusion begins)01:04 - What even is Warhammer 40,000?01:33 - What is an army?

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Right then, if you're someone who’s always fancied dipping a toe into Warhammer 40,000 but got scared off by the sheer volume of plastic, Latin names, and people shouting “For the Emperor!” like it’s a football chant… you’re in the right place.

This is Warhammer 40K for the Confused, the Curious, and the Chronically Overwhelmed. Think of it as your unofficial beginner’s guide, delivered by a fellow nerd who's only just emerged from the box-fresh hobby cocoon, still covered in sprue dust and regret.

We’re talking:

- What even is Warhammer 40K? (Spoiler: it's like Star Wars had a nervous breakdown at a D&D convention)

- What’s an “army” when we’re not invading neighbouring countries?

- Should you start with a Starter Set or a "Combat Patrol" box (spoiler: one of them actually makes sense)

- Why a Codex is not a type of seafood

- How not to bankrupt yourself in the first week (or annoy your spouse with plastic sprue shrapnel everywhere)

There’s absolutely no pressure to be good at anything here - I’m still losing games and gluing heads on the wrong way round. But that’s the magic of it: glorious nerdy chaos. We all start somewhere, and I started by buying a Blood Angels army off eBay for less than the cost of a decent pub dinner.

]]> 2680 MOONSTONE: The Most RIDICULOUS (and Brilliant) Game I’ve EVER Played So there I was, just vibing at the UK Games Expo, when I saw a table full of goblins, faeries, and one bloke wearing a hat so fabulous it deserved its own postcode. Naturally, I stopped. Naturally, I played. And naturally, I left with a copy of Moonstone tucked under one arm and an urgent need to tell you all about it. @Moonstonegame 00:00 - 01:08 – INTROI kick things off with how I stumbled into the whimsical world of Tauber, got roped into a demo game, and left with absolutely zero regrets (and a slightly singed wallet). 01:08 - 03:10 – WHAT EVEN IS MOONSTONE?I explain what Moonstone actually is, think fantasy skirmish game meets panto fever dream, set in a world where trolls joust for spare change and faeries will lie to your face for fun. 03:10 - 06:51 – HOW DOES IT PLAY?Forget maths-heavy war games and three-hour rulebooks. Moonstone is quick, clever, and full of card-flipping, bluff-calling brilliance. Like poker, but with goblins and minor explosions. 06:51 - 08:23 – WHAT IS THE GOAL?We’re hunting sparkly mushrooms that vanish at sunrise. Sounds ridiculous. Is ridiculous. But also deeply satisfying. 08:23 - 11:37 – CHARACTER CARD DEEP DIVE (FEAT. DOUG THE FLATULENT)We meet Doug. He’s green, gassy, and ready to rumble. I walk you through a character card using this aromatic legend, from his passive traits to his tactical use of weaponised wind. 11:37 - 13:25 – UNIVERSAL CHARACTER ABILITIESJog, Step, Harvest, and generally cause just enough chaos to win while pretending you know what you’re doing. It’s not ballroom dancing. Unless you’re Doug. Then it might be. 13:25 - 16:20 – COMBAT (ARCANE + MELEE)Card duels, bluffing spells, goblin slap-fights, and high-stakes faerie fibbing. Combat in Moonstone is like Shakespearean theatre meets a pub brawl, it's dramatic, messy, and absolutely cracking fun. 16:20 - 17:39 – FINAL THOUGHTSI wrap it all up with heartfelt enthusiasm and one last nudge to give Moonstone a go. Because if you’ve ever wanted to yell “HOW DARE YOU” during a magical duel… this is your moment. Whether you’re into fantasy, fancy yourself a tactical mastermind, or just enjoy accusing your mates of mystical fraud, Moonstone is a hilarious, clever, and gloriously weird experience. Give it a watch, give it a go, and beware the goblin with suspicious wind.

@Moonstonegame

00:00 - 01:08 – INTRO
I kick things off with how I stumbled into the whimsical world of Tauber, got roped into a demo game, and left with absolutely zero regrets (and a slightly singed wallet).

01:08 - 03:10 – WHAT EVEN IS MOONSTONE?
I explain what Moonstone actually is, think fantasy skirmish game meets panto fever dream, set in a world where trolls joust for spare change and faeries will lie to your face for fun.

03:10 - 06:51 – HOW DOES IT PLAY?
Forget maths-heavy war games and three-hour rulebooks. Moonstone is quick, clever, and full of card-flipping, bluff-calling brilliance. Like poker, but with goblins and minor explosions.

06:51 - 08:23 – WHAT IS THE GOAL?
We’re hunting sparkly mushrooms that vanish at sunrise. Sounds ridiculous. Is ridiculous. But also deeply satisfying.

08:23 - 11:37 – CHARACTER CARD DEEP DIVE (FEAT. DOUG THE FLATULENT)
We meet Doug. He’s green, gassy, and ready to rumble. I walk you through a character card using this aromatic legend, from his passive traits to his tactical use of weaponised wind.

11:37 - 13:25 – UNIVERSAL CHARACTER ABILITIES
Jog, Step, Harvest, and generally cause just enough chaos to win while pretending you know what you’re doing. It’s not ballroom dancing. Unless you’re Doug. Then it might be.

13:25 - 16:20 – COMBAT (ARCANE + MELEE)
Card duels, bluffing spells, goblin slap-fights, and high-stakes faerie fibbing. Combat in Moonstone is like Shakespearean theatre meets a pub brawl, it's dramatic, messy, and absolutely cracking fun.

16:20 - 17:39 – FINAL THOUGHTS

Insert sad violin music. So, sadly, the Blackmanes, the Sons of Morkai, and Krom Dragongaze’s dragon-punching legend squad didn’t make it into this video. They deserved better. I know. BUT, if you want a follow-up video just for them (drop pods, stealth, dragons, the lot), let me know in the comments and I’ll give them the epic spotlight they missed out on. ANYWAY What do you get when you cross King Arthur, Norse mythology, and a chainsaw-wielding space marine with a wolf obsession? The Space Wolves, obviously. And oh my… they are glorious. In this video, I talk about the saga-soaked, axe-swinging insanity that is the Space Wolves and their Great Companies, because apparently, space-faring super soldiers weren’t already cool enough, so Games Workshop decided to make them Viking werewolf knights with a flair for dramatic entrances and oversized weapons. I cover MOST OF the active Great Companies (minus the three that got lost in the warp), plus the super-secret, definitely-cursed 13th Company that nobody wants to talk about at family dinners.

The Space Wolves, obviously. And oh my… they are glorious.

]]> 1722 5 ANNOYING Things I Wish I Knew Before Playing WARHAMMER 40K So I thought I’d paint a few models, read a bit of lore, completely derail my life with plastic sprues and emotional breakdowns over shade washes. Classic, really. In this video, I’m talking about the things no one tells you when you start Warhammer 40K, especially if you’ve got a D&D brain and a carpet the same colour as your models (spoiler: it’s grey. Everything is grey. Including my will to live after dropping a single bit). We’re covering: - Why the maths makes me feel like I need Rachel Riley on narcotics- The lore crimes that make my soul leave my body- How I now build models in the garden like some tragic miniature monk- Rules? Which rules? Oh, ALL of them apparently- And why scalpers are the final boss of this hobby If you’re new to Warhammer too, welcome! It’s like assembling IKEA furniture while blindfolded, but somehow more fun. Bring snacks. Bring patience. And maybe a torch for when you drop that one bit that holds the entire dreadnought together. The comment section is always class, so chuck in your own struggles, victories, or top tips (especially if they involve finding dropped bits of plastic in deep-pile carpet...yes I won't let that one go). #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #lore #spacemarines #warhammerforbeginners #beginnerfriendly #beginner #funny #funnyvideo #nerdgirl AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 425 D&D BEGINNER? Steal This Raven Queen WARLOCK Backstory (I Did) Right, let’s get this out of the way first: you do not have to be a walking encyclopaedia of lore or some Tolkien-level novelist to make an interesting D&D character. Trust me...I’m living proof. This video is an introduction to Kaelis Vire, my Hexblade Warlock with a glowing eye, a shadow-forged sword, and absolutely no time for necromancers mucking about with the dead. If you’re new to D&D, or just a bit knackered from real life and don’t fancy writing a whole tragic backstory from scratch, don’t worry. I’ll walk you through exactly how I used official source material, like Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes, Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, and the Player’s Handbook to build her story.

]]> 1694 Starting WARHAMMER 40K? BLOOD ANGELS For Beginners. Right then, welcome back to the hobby corner of the internet where the paint is streaky, the dice hate me, and the lore knowledge is dangerously high for someone who still gets glue on their fingers every time. In this video, I’m talking about why I chose the Blood Angels as my first Warhammer 40K army...and no, it’s not just because they wear red and look like space Dracula’s gym bros. Though that helps. If you’ve ever asked: “Who are the Blood Angels?” “Why do they sound like tragic space poets with anger issues?” “Is it normal for a Space Marine to cry while punching a demon in the face?” Then congratulations you’re in the right place. I’ll walk you through their glorious lore, their gameplay style (beginner friendly, promise), and why these rage-fuelled angel boys are the perfect blend of classy and chaotic for a first army. Expect: - Heartbreaking lore - looking at you Sanguinius - Close-combat carnage - Beginner-friendly tips (because I am, in fact, also new and confused) - A gentle reminder that painting helmets red is harder than it looks So whether you're brand new like me and wondering what the heck a datasheet even is, or if you have been in this hobby for years, welcome! Leave a comment if: - You’re new and panicking slightly - You’ve glued yourself to your minis (again) - You’re a seasoned hobbyist who doesn’t mind handing out wisdom like a benevolent paint-streaked librarian And remember: we’re all just trying to figure it out, one emotionally unstable, beautifully tragic red-armoured hero at a time.

]]> 1487 Is THE WITCHER 3 Still The Best RPG Ever? Right then. It’s been a whole decade since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt burst onto the scene with grumpy Geralt and moody landscapes. And somehow, 10 years later, it’s still clinging to its spot in my all-time top five games like Roach to a rooftop. This video isn’t me rattling off facts or lore (although I do have strong opinions about the TV series...). It’s just a very personal love letter to one of the greatest RPGs ever made, from the monster contracts and questionable potions to the heartbreak and ridiculous goose chases. So, what am I rambling about? - Why the world of The Continent still blows my mind - How Geralt is basically the medieval grump we all aspire to be - The way quests somehow hit you right in the feels - And why the expansions weren’t DLC, they were full-blown masterpieces If you’re here because you, too, can’t stop replaying Witcher 3 even though you promised to start something new… welcome. You’re among friends. Leave a comment and tell me your favourite quests, characters, or just how badly Blood and Wine wrecked your soul.

]]> 968 WARHAMMER: Why HENRY CAVILL Should Focus On GAUNT'S GHOSTS It's finally time to talk about the real MVPs of Warhammer 40K: Gaunt’s Ghosts. These aren't your average beefy super-soldiers with glowy eyes and unresolved rage issues. Nope. This is a story about regular humans with nothing but guts, grit, lasguns, and a seriously dramatic backstory. Led by the galaxy’s most emotionally available Commissar (yes, that’s a thing), Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, this unit of survivors from a destroyed planet will absolutely wreck your feelings and then make you want to enlist. I’m breaking down who Gaunt is, why the Tanith First and Only are total legends, and why this story would be the perfect live-action launchpad for Henry Cavill's Warhammer dreams. This isn’t a Warhammer lecture, it’s a chaotic lore ramble. You have been warned. Come and join the friendliest nerd community on YouTube! No gatekeeping, no heresy-shaming, just passionate fans and great conversations. Comment below: which 40K story should I tackle next? Now grab your camo cloak and get ready because we're heading into the Sabbat Worlds, and things are about to get grimdarkly emotional.

]]> 1337 The Real BEGINNER'S Guide to WARHAMMER (With Zero Gatekeeping) So, I know the Warhammer lore well enough to chat your ear off about it, but when it comes to actually playing and painting? I'm still very much winging it. I've had a few games, the army’s coming along (if “slapping paint on and hoping for the best” counts), and I’m slowly figuring it out. This space isn’t about perfect set-ups, pro-level paint jobs, or affiliate links disguised as helpful advice. This is for the rest of us - the “paint in your dressing gown, swear at glue, cry over eyeballs” crowd. Here’s what I wish I’d known when I started: 1. Lore helps, but don’t stress it.Three main sides: Imperium (humans with issues), Chaos (metal album energy), Xenos (everything else). Pick what vibes with you: angsty heroes, daemonic nightmares, or green lads who love violence and shouting. 2. Factions are like Hogwarts houses… but angrier.Choose what looks cool or feels fun. Don’t overthink it. You’re not marrying them. 3. Budget carefully.Start small — a Combat Patrol, a few paints, one or two brushes. Check eBay. Accept that “pre-built” might mean “glued by a toddler”. 4. Painting: thin your paints. Always.Aim for somewhere between soup and milk. It won’t be perfect. That’s fine. You’re learning. 5. Rules are overwhelming. That’s normal.Don’t try to memorise everything. Play small games. Use the app. Make mistakes. Laugh at them. 6. Codex: helpful, but not sacred.Grab one for your faction, mostly for rules, colours, and fun art. Bonus: the app code means you barely need to open the book again. 7. Community matters.You can’t Warhammer alone forever. Local clubs, online groups, comment sections. We’re out here, and most of us are lovely. 8. Forget perfect. Just play.Your terrain can be cereal boxes. Your models can be named after memes. It’s your game. Enjoy it. 9. Mistakes welcome.Glue your fingers together. Paint a face like a Picasso nightmare. We've all done it. Keep going. Final thought:You don’t have to be great at this. You just have to enjoy it. Start small, ask questions, laugh often. If your Space Marine is bright pink and dual-wields butter knives he’s still part of the Emperor’s light. Drop a comment if you've got tips, or if you're new, please come say hi.

Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices So, I know the Warhammer lore well enough to chat your ear off about it, but when it comes to actually playing and painting? I'm still very much winging it. I've had a few games, the army’s coming along (if “slapping paint on and hoping for the best” counts), and I’m slowly figuring it out.

This space isn’t about perfect set-ups, pro-level paint jobs, or affiliate links disguised as helpful advice. This is for the rest of us - the “paint in your dressing gown, swear at glue, cry over eyeballs” crowd.

Here’s what I wish I’d known when I started:

1. Lore helps, but don’t stress it.
Three main sides: Imperium (humans with issues), Chaos (metal album energy), Xenos (everything else). Pick what vibes with you: angsty heroes, daemonic nightmares, or green lads who love violence and shouting.

2. Factions are like Hogwarts houses… but angrier.
Choose what looks cool or feels fun. Don’t overthink it. You’re not marrying them.

3. Budget carefully.
Start small — a Combat Patrol, a few paints, one or two brushes. Check eBay. Accept that “pre-built” might mean “glued by a toddler”.

4. Painting: thin your paints. Always.
Aim for somewhere between soup and milk. It won’t be perfect. That’s fine. You’re learning.

5. Rules are overwhelming. That’s normal.
Don’t try to memorise everything. Play small games. Use the app. Make mistakes. Laugh at them.

6. Codex: helpful, but not sacred.
Grab one for your faction, mostly for rules, colours, and fun art. Bonus: the app code means you barely need to open the book again.

7. Community matters.
You can’t Warhammer alone forever. Local clubs, online groups, comment sections. We’re out here, and most of us are lovely.

8. Forget perfect. Just play.
Your terrain can be cereal boxes. Your models can be named after memes. It’s your game. Enjoy it.

9. Mistakes welcome.
Glue your fingers together. Paint a face like a Picasso nightmare. We've all done it. Keep going.

Final thought:
You don’t have to be great at this. You just have to enjoy it. Start small, ask questions, laugh often. If your Space Marine is bright pink and dual-wields butter knives he’s still part of the Emperor’s light.

]]> 756 Why STAR WARS Games Fell Off Right, let’s get this out of the way - I love Star Wars. Always have. From collecting lightsabers to cosplaying Trilla Suduri, reading the novels, and rinsing Knights of the Old Republic more times than I can count (still the GOAT, by the way), it’s been a massive part of my life. But with Destiny 2 announcing a Star Wars crossover, I found myself feeling… nothing. And that’s when it hit me: I think I’m kind of done. Not with the universe or the characters, but with how Star Wars is being handled in gaming. I grew up in the golden age of Star Wars games: Dark Forces, X-Wing, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, Battlefront, KOTOR... Those games were what pulled me in and kept me hooked. Then Disney bought Lucasfilm, shut down LucasArts, and handed the whole thing to EA. And that’s when the magic started to fade. Sure, Jedi: Fallen Order was brilliant, and I really enjoyed it. But everything else? Either a letdown, a cash grab, or just didn’t stick. Battlefront (EA) looked nice but was empty. Battlefront II tried to fix it but got buried under shady microtransactions. Squadrons? Flashy, but forgettable. And while Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga gave me a bit of that old spark, it’s not enough. I haven’t even touched Outlaws and that probably says it all. These days, it feels like Star Wars games are more about chasing trends than telling great stories. More about monetisation than magic. And that’s not what made me fall in love with the galaxy far, far away in the first place. So yeah, in this video, I’m unpacking all of that and asking: can Star Wars gaming ever get its soul back? #starwars #starwarsfan #starwarscommunity #starwarsgames #starwarsbattlefront2 #gaming #gamer #eagames #kotor #battlefront2 #starwarsjedisurvivor #starwarsedit #destiny2 #renegades #destiny2renegades AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this video, I'm following along with a brilliant beginner-friendly painting tutorial by @ladykhaine1021 - if you haven't checked her out on Instagram yet, you're seriously missing out. She’s got such a knack for breaking things down in a way that makes painting feel way less intimidating, even for someone like me who's still very new to this side of the hobby. This isn’t a fancy setup, and there won’t be any overly aesthetic shots or unnecessary affiliate links rammed down your throat...just an honest look at what it’s like to be a beginner trying to get better, hopefully one brushstroke at a time! Everything on my channel is about showing the real journey, mistakes and all, and hopefully making other nerds feel a bit more comfortable starting their painting too.

]]> 1036 TOM BOMBADIL Explained for Beginners LoTR So I recently visited Puzzlewood, this absolutely magical place in the Forest of Dean that's thought to have inspired some of Tolkien’s work. Now, I did a bit of digging beforehand (no pun intended...you'll see why) and while there’s no official record of Tolkien mentioning Puzzlewood by name, it definitely has that Middle Earth vibe. And since he visited a Roman site just 15 minutes away (Lydney Park) it’s not a stretch to imagine he might’ve strolled through Puzzlewood too. Lydney Park’s a fascinating spot on its own. Tolkien worked on an archaeological dig there back in 1929 — proper Indiana Jones stuff — alongside the famous Sir Mortimer Wheeler. The site had all these spooky legends about dwarves and goblins living among the ruins, and Tolkien even wrote a chapter about it. You can really see how that mythical atmosphere worked its way into his stories. As I wandered through Puzzlewood, I couldn’t help but think of the Old Forest. You know, home to one of Middle Earth's most mysterious and marvellous characters: Tom Bombadil. This video’s a proper introduction to Tom for anyone new to Tolkien’s world. I like to keep things friendly, easy to follow, and welcoming whether you’ve only seen the films (although you won't have seen him in those) or you’re just starting your lore journey. We’ll chat about Tom’s bizarre powers, his wife Goldberry, and why even the One Ring doesn’t seem to touch him. From his ancient origins in the First Age to his cheerful chaos in the Third, Tom’s story is full of wonder, mystery, and a bit of mischief. We’ll also explore some of the wild theories about who or what Tom actually is. Is he a Maia? A spirit of nature? Time itself in yellow boots? Honestly, no one knows...and that’s part of the fun. Stick around and let’s get to know the one and only Tom Bombadil. #tombombadil #bombadil #lotr #lordoftherings #lordoftheringslore #tolkien #tolkienlore #tolkientalk #puzzlewood #forestofdean #woodland #woodlandwalk #forest #forestwalk AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 903 So you want to be a DUNGEON MASTER? So, you’ve picked up the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide and you’re wondering...is this actually going to help me run my first D&D game? Spoiler alert: yes, it really will. In this video, I take you through what’s changed, what’s improved, and what’s genuinely useful for new Dungeon Masters trying to get their first adventure off the ground. Let’s be honest—the 2014 DMG didn’t really give new DMs much to work with, unless you just wanted to nab some magic items. But this new edition? It’s packed with practical advice, clearer structure, and loads of inspiration whether you’re running a one-shot, a full campaign, or just trying to make your players cry with a good death scene (page 63, seriously, go read it). I cover the most important chapters like the Toolbox (Chapter 3), which is full of ideas, mechanics, traps, and some weird stuff like alien tech and explosives because... why not? Then we move into building adventures (Chapter 4), where you’ll find loads of hooks, informative tables, and even full example adventures ready to go. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure where to begin, this chapter is absolute gold. Chapter 5 is all about building campaigns and, honestly, it’s my favourite part of the book. It gives you structure, character tracking tools, and genuinely good advice on working with your players to build the kind of stories they’ll remember. Whether you’re brand new or just looking to refine your style, this book’s a proper toolkit. I’ve also shared a few of my personal thoughts, like why I think shared storytelling is the heart of great RPGs, and how I totally overdid magic items in my first campaign (yes, I’ve learned…sort of). If you’re curious about the more advanced stuff like cosmology or bastions (Chapters 6 and 8), I’ve skipped them here for now, but let me know in the comments if you’d like a follow-up diving into those sections. #dmg #dungeonmaster #dungeonmastersguide #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #dndhomebrew #dndcampaign #homebrew #dndworldbuilding #dndstory #ttrpg #tabletopgaming #gaming AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

]]> 1111 GOLLUM Before Lord of The Rings You should follow me across social media ajm_nerdcore...or don't. But you definitely should. In this video I discuss the dark transformation of Sméagol into Gollum, as he succumbs to the seductive power of the Ring. Seductive? Is it seductive? It is now. Initially a curious hobbit, Sméagol begins spying on others and using their secrets against them, leading him down a path of theft and deceit. As his behaviour spirals, his family and community grow increasingly uncomfortable, pushing him away until he’s ultimately exiled by his own grandmother. Alone and bitter, Gollum wanders into the wilderness, clinging to the Ring as he descends into feral living—eating raw fish and talking to himself in the dark...we've all been there right? When he finds refuge in the tunnels beneath the Misty Mountains, it’s not just a desire to escape the sunlight; there’s a flickering curiosity within him, hoping to uncover hidden treasures. However, that hope quickly fades as he realises there’s only endless darkness. For centuries, Gollum survives in isolation, fueled by his obsession with the Ring, which keeps him alive but warps his body and mind beyond recognition. The once curious river-dweller is now nothing but a bitter and broken creature, lost in the shadows. #gollum #smeagol #lotr #lordoftherings #lordoftheringslore #lotrfan #tolkien #tolkienlore #tolkientalk #jrrtolkien #lore #book #booktube #bookish AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.

PART TWO where I dive into the dark and twisted lore of the Emperor's Children, one of the most infamous Chaos Space Marine Legions in Warhammer 40K. Once loyal to the Emperor, they were led by Fulgrim, a Primarch obsessed with perfection. But after falling to the temptations of Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess, they became consumed by their pursuit of beauty, pleasure, and decadence. Now, they’re known for their cruelty, debauchery, and deadly obsession with perfection.

]]> 372 Who is MELKOR / MORGOTH? Episode 3 Follow me across social media ajm_nerdcore...or don't. But you definitely should. ANYWAY welcome back to my mini-series on Melkor! If you're new here, be sure to check out the first two videos. In this episode, I dive into how the Valar quickly realised Melkor was a serious threat once they found the Elves. Manwë decided it was time to reclaim Middle-earth, leading to the epic Battle of the Powers. Though they defeated Melkor and captured him, Sauron escaped, leaving seeds of future evil scattered across the land. After three ages, Melkor was released and pretended to reform, but he immediately began manipulating the Elves again, particularly targeting Fëanor, the brilliant creator of the Silmarils. As tensions rose in Valinor, Fëanor's rebellion grew—thanks to Melkor's whispers. When the truth came out, Melkor vanished, only to return later with a sinister plan alongside the monstrous Ungoliant. Together, they struck at the Two Trees of Valinor, plunging the land into darkness and chaos. Melkor killed Finwë, stole the Silmarils, and crossed back into Middle-earth, earning the name Morgoth from a furious Fëanor. Now that he had the Silmarils and was ready to unleash chaos, the real war was just beginning... #lordoftherings #lotr #lotrfan #melkor #morgoth #tolkien #tolkienlore #tolkientalk #lordoftheringslore #lordoftheringsedit #book #bookish #booktube #reading #lore #nerdgirl #nerd #geek #geekgirl AJM Nerdcore is part of the Digital Fox Talent creator network: digitalfoxtalent.com Learn more about your ad choices.
