Podcasts about direct misfire

What's this? What's this? Another episode for our beloved champions! Can you believe that another year has gone by? I certainly can because that's how the flow of time works. Join the fellas for the podcast equivalent of a turn seven, where they chat about the year that's gone and what's in store for the future. Don't like recap episodes? Well then you're in for a surprise because there's lots of other stuff in this 2024 finale; you'll have to listen to find out! The Direct Misfire team of Andrew, Bensome, and Sellick would love to extend our gratitude for your support this year. We wish each and every one of you a safe and pleasant holiday period however you spend it. Once again, thank you for your support and we'll see you all soon! Enjoy!! PS. If anyone is needs someone to chat to for whatever reason, shoot us a message :)

ConVic, Victoria's largest event has been run and won. And while the world is going crazy about command dice and the Clash of Kings tournament in the UK, Direct Misfire has been joined by old mate Huw one more time to run through the highlights & results of ConVic 24.    This will be the last time with Huw in the intro as we turn a page with Andrew. Its only fitting Huw is here to forget unit names and special rules one last time with the intro tunes. 

Everything you've heard is true. Sellick and Andy both went to masters and rolled dice (mostly on the table) while Bensome did the hardwork of manning the Youtube Channel live stream, and now we get to talk about it.  Finish your last minute amazon purchaces and get your festive brew in hand as we run through Australian Masters results, the live stream, and then trundle through the year in review. Do yourself a favor and make sure you listen to the last minute or so where it would appear Bensome has squirelled away everytime Sellick made an error this year. Thanks mate; glad to see my flu recorded episode was not excluded from this!  In all seriousness, Direct Misfire wishes you all a safe festive period, celebrating Christmas/end of year break with family and friends. If you find yourself a bit flat/lost or sober, please reach out to DM we'll be happy to have a chat! Cheers & Merry Christmas Sellick & the DM crew.

The cold winter days are almost behind us downunder but dont fear Direct Misfire are back again to heat up your ears. We've come together to give you a quick overview of the Twilight Kin info thats been released, recent local tournaments and, importantly we discuss the impending UK Clash of Kings and pick our favorites for the podium.  Settle in for a short and sweet espisode to kick off your weekend. DM 

Join Bensome, Sellick and new co-host Andrew as we dive into all things new!  From the new nightmarish Nightstalker changes, Mantic's  Vault direction, Warmachines & rule discussions all the way to recent tournament results around the world and upcoming new events.  Give your ears some love and slap on your headphones for 44 minutes of kings of war listening pleasure, then give those keyboards a tap and let us know what you think.  Cheers, Sellick

No need to double check if you're listening to an episode that was recorded back in 2016... (have we really been recording for that long?!) Yes that's right, in this nostalgia trip of an episode, former co-host Spoon makes his return! Following up that old-timey goodness is the fact that we chat Warhammer 6th edition of all things.  The trip doesn't stop there; this episode was recorded using the very first mic purchased for the podcast. Such memories. Much wow (and ambient room echo). The trip doesn't last that long, it's a pretty short ep, but good things come in small packages.  Pull up a very squeaky chair (apologies in advance) and enjoy!

Join us once again as the Direct Misfire crew have a poor attempt to limit themselves to 3 changes in the new red book! Find out whats changed and some of our thoughts on those very changes!  With preorders now released, get in early and snag yourself a copy of this beautiful book and, as always let us know what you think.  DM

Direct Misfire have gotten their hands on the new fancy red book for Kings of War! One book to rule them all* (until 4th edition).  Join Bensome, Sellick & some Ratkin loving guy as they each go through their TOP 3 changes in the new book! If you've ever played with or against: Abysall Dwarfs, Ogres, Basilean, Salamanders, cavalry, giants or any special items you may want to have a listen! We've decided to take a Disney+ and break these episodes down into around 30 minutes of bite size chunks for you to digest! Enjoy! Sellick

Join Bensome and Huw as they dive into a delicate but delicious debrief of the most recent tournament in Melbourne Victoria. While the naming convention and creativity of Mikes tournaments may have fallen to the wayside; the attendance and calibre of opponents has continued its momentum.  Special call out to the Geelong contingent of gamers for making the trip over to max out capacity of this tournament.  Tabletop TO link below to see all results and final standings. https://tabletop.to/kings-of-war-260322?fbclid=IwAR1jMI2_58wq8jJqD_LfpZDlCjk5dDEp-sUhkDJwq1VRtYPR5kZe9w1OF_I Happy Gaming! DM note: Unfortunately Sellick wasn't able to record this time due to an unplanned hospital visit :(   

Hark, doth thine ears deceive? That's right, 3 episodes in one week! (take this as an apology for not releasing anything at the end of last year) It's been a long 2 days with the lads having participated in the Australian Clash of Kings 2022 tournament. Now that it's done and dusted, join them as they briefly recount their games, discuss some highlights and compare their predictions from the previous episode.  Once again this is a "Nights" episode so editing is minimal, volume levels are a bit all over the place (hopefully it's not too bad), and the profanity sky rockets. Anyone with sensitive ears best avoid.    Otherwise, Enjoy! Ps: we discuss a YouTube channel in this episode. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfCORDh_gubyKjuWpJTo6QQ  

As promised the lads are back, live from their accomodation the night before the Australian Clash of Kings 2022 tournament!

So come and join them as they discuss the ins and outs of unit choices, leaving you in awe, confused, bemused, or inspired (maybe a combination of all 4?). Enjoy! PS. A short, sweet episode this may be but fear not they will return, live from the tournament itself in just a few days! :o

Are they way off? What tier would you put the armies into? Are auto-wound dwarves actually fine? Does Morgoth need a buff? Share all your bad ideas on the Direct Misfire Facebook page!Create your own Direct Misfire style tier list here: https://tiermaker.com/create/direct-misfire-kings-of-war-army-tier-list-563048

Massage those eye muscles and loosen up those traps because a world of cringe is headed your way. Yes the first round of Kings of Fight Club has been completed and within are the results. Presented in a mock commentary sports gig type thing, listen as three guys with almost no commentary experience fumble their way through eight rounds of combat. Behind the curtain: we played a bunch of one vs one games using the paired heroes in a set, circular board. What you're about to hear is a dramatisation of the events that took place. Use of imagination is greatly advised. Enjoy!   PS. Let us know if this was any good. It took way longer to edit than normal and i'd rather not have to do it again if it causes irreparable ear damage. Cheers.-Bensome

Live, unhinged, and recorded in Canberra; home of the Clash of Kings Australia 2020! Joined by special guests Andrew and Viv, the fellas discuss their predictions for the event before recounting their experiences.  Recorded over 2 days, the audio on this one isn't the greatest as the setup is different from the usual (so don't get used to it - this isn't going to be the new standard). Also for those with delicate sensibilities be warned. There's a few naughty words thrown about during the course of conversations. Enjoy!

As the year is coming to a close the fellas thought it might be nice to have a chat about the year that was. Join Bensome, Sellick, and Huw and they present the equivalent podcast version of a filler episode. They share the good, the bad, their hopes and dreams for 2020, as well as a swathe of other minor talking points.  I've said it before and i'll say it again (seriously, look at the 2018 wrap up blurb); from all the guys at Direct Misfire I'd sincerely like to thank you all for sticking with us and to continue enabling our obsession with war gaming. Take care of yourselves and each other over the holiday period. Enjoy!   -Bensome

Enjoy!** If you wanted to check out the Masters lists, pop on over to our Twitter feed and check this tweet:https://twitter.com/DirectMisfire/status/1201024805350195200 (but seriously, well done Huw for competing in the 2019 Masters tournament)

Hark! Do thine ears deceive you? Nay, they do not for what you are about to experience is truth! Kyle "Pretzel" Przelenski, The Master of Crafted, joins the cast to open cans of worms, spill the beans, and upturn this barrel of monkeys. What does that mean? It means Kings of War 3rd edition rule leaks, that's what. Unveiled in this episode are a mixed bag of assorted special rules, interactions, future releases and *shock* the new armies revealed*. Enjoy!   * I apologise in advance ~Bensome

Hear ye, hear ye! Announcing the arrival of his royal highness. Slayer of fiends, lord of the tabletop, ruler or all, the Jeffrey of Traish!

Enjoy! 

Bensome, Sellick and special guest Huw return to the netisphere to discuss more Kings of War! "Low point" is an apt description of today's cast as it's all about strats, lists and the do's and do not's of low point games.  Also for added value Ronnie send is love with a very important message that no one should miss. Yes it would be easier to transcribe what he said into this description for your convenience but bugger ya; If you want dessert you need to eat your veggies. :p Enjoy! 

You can't get rid of them that easily! That's right, the lads have returned to caress your eardrums with their dulcet tones and harsh, abrupt censor bleeps. Join Bensome, Sellick and very special guest Huw as they chat about the spells and artefacts in the Clash of Kings  2019 supplement. Find out which items are worth your time and which spells are not.  All that and more on today's episode of Counterrr... Direct Misfire.   Enjoy!

A new year, a new Clash of Kings Australia round-up. Bensome, Spoon, and Sellick return along with special guest Huw, to recap all that went down at Cancon 2019. A language warning does apply for this episode, so keep the kiddies away lest you risk your children's ears from un-hearing some things. Also anyone who purses their lips at the sound of an f-bomb best you don't listen either. Thou haveth been warned-eth.   Otherwise, enjoy!

Bensome, Spoon, and Sellick have survived another year and they're hear to tell you all about it. Keeping in theme with years end festivities, Mr Ronnie Renton joins the show to gift us with his presence and presents (audio only).

Enjoy!   *The Herd background story music taken from Syrinscape soundboard.  ** Note, the audio quality isn't the greatest this ep. Teething problems with a new form of recording audio with online guests. This should be sorted by the next interview. -Bensome

We're baaaack! Yep, the guys have returned from wherever it was they went and are ready to tell you all about it. More an exercise in "relearning how to podcast" than anything informative (but really, how often does that actually happen?), it's still better than nothing. Join Bensome, Spoon and Sellick for a short but sweet auditory excursion as they try to explain their absence, find the answer to the greatest question ever asked, and solve all of life's mysteries*. Enjoy!   *non of this may actually have been recorded... just take our word for it.

While the weather around our part of the world is cooling down, the lads on the cast are heating up!

Champions! We have returned (finally) to bring you all more podcasty goodness. Our first episode for the year has us straining to remember what happened at the Clash of Kings Au tournament. The heat from the oversized tin shed that is Cancon must have taken its toll. We persevere in any case with the help from the man with more charm than a leprechaun, Huw (of "The Red Jokers" podcast fame). So settle in for a recount of all 28 games... it's not that painful, I promise. Enjoy! *check out The Red Jokers over here: https://www.facebook.com/RedJokers13/

Welcome to 2018 ladies and gents! The Red Jokers have finally got here too, but before we dive into the new year we took the time to reflect on 2017 – the year that was in Malifaux.
