I just bought my dad a Giger book for christmas. I'm going to have to put something on the label like "I know it's not very christmasy..."
He's into art like that, especially john bratby (really fuct surrealist guy with a penchant for taps). He just bought 2 originals, they're nuts.

giger would make a fanatastic christmas gift seeing as he would enjoy it, its the thought that counts not the item and the fact its probably not wierd to him. i'm sure he'd like that for christmas rather than socks and underwear.

I was influenced by Giger's "Navigator" from the film Alien, when designing a vehicle for Warhammer 40,000 (table top wargame). I built the pilot actually into the vehicle with pipes going into his head etc. It's going to be cool once I've painted it up.

I was always interested in those pen and paper rpgs but none of my friends are smart enough. The best I could get out of them was a game of Magic the Gathering, which I kicked their asses in.

I play a (sadly now defunct) card game called doomtown, based on the paper-rpg of the same name. It's quite complex, but great fun. You basically get more money for characters and buildings from you buildings (like monopoly) and fight your opponents by playing poker against them!
Warhammer 40,000 is a wargame with actual figurines of men & vehicles, set in the year 40,000. It's really good, if a little expensive. It's quite easy to find opponents for that all over the world.
The vehicle I'm working on is one of these converted.

i've heard of warhammer. that vehicle is sweet. i recently moved to a new town and have no friends and its a small town so there would be no one here even with those kind of interests.

Where exactly is medicine hat? ;-)
I'm trying to get one of my housemates into it as it's a pain transporting them for games at clubs/ other people's houses.

Medicine Hat is in Southern Alberta, 3 hours south of Calgary and 2 hours north of Lethbridge. Medicine Hat has the population of nearly 100 000 and is a great city. From Late April to Late October it was 30+ Celcius this year. Its always hot there. Winters are mild with little snow. I love that city, probably more than what you wanted to know, but what the hell.
I actually moved to Cranbrook (small lumber town of about 30 000) last week.

Whoa, I thought medicine hat was one of those "amusing" locations people put down! I didn't realise it was a real place. No offence intended :)

BTW, did you get your net name from the old amiga/snes game "Mutant Penguins"? It's an overhead/isometric shoot 'em up if I recall.

no offence taken, i don't blame you. its a stupid name for a city.
in the slave pit funnies in the gwar cd ragnarok there is a story about mutant death penguins attacking brazil. long story made short. there is a long story behind the name, but i don't feel like typing it all.
