Today I went to the GW site and saw this for the first tim 'Games Workshop make the best model soldiers in the world.' That's the description of their website according to them. Cocky Pricks
Blame Matt Ward. He's responsible for everything, including Grey Knights and global warming.

FKM actually deserves some recognition for changing his way of writing and behavior. It is quite a significant improvement. Nice work FKM and keep up the good work. Don´t fall down the slope.

I find raising the bar makes a sudden falling like a lead balloon in taste that much more impacting. Your standards for my behavior are higher now so it's much easier to ruin them .

Today, I'm urineed at Bioware. Apparently, to get the "Best" endings possible for Mass Effect 3, the Galactic Readiness Rating, which depends solely on people playing the multiplayer co-op, has to be a certain level. That means I probably have to wait a few months before I the readiness rating is high enough. That, or I find three other people with some free time and play the crap out of it during Spring Break.
Edit: Nvm, apparently readiness isn't affected by the global MP, just yours.

@reds: So wait you have to end the game at a higher level rather than ending the fight more swiftly and decisively at a lower level to get some stupid rating to get a better ending? Oh thanks sheppard for saving us even if you took 3 months when you could've taken 3 days and saved us from a lot of damage. Here's a grand admiral of specialness award for letting so many of us die by taking your sweet time.
While looking at the dark eldar i noticed that the current grotesques look like bane from batman (you know the guy pumped up with drugs and growth stimulants).

Today, I started playing Space Marine and learned I would be a horrible Space Marine, mostly since my tactics include firing wildly until I run out of ammo and running away... "And they shall know no... wait... where's that one going?"

Same FFE. My lovely lady got me the game for Valentines day and my tactics are pretty much the same. The Orks BS 2 skill is definitely not taken into effect in the game thats for sure. I think they could have given you the opportunity to take cover behind rubble like in Gears. But that "wouldn't be Space Marine-y" I guess. Tactically more sound though.

My SM tactic involves running up into close combat with anything, and then die due to the fact the iv been beaten half to death by orks shooting big guns at me while i stomp on other orks, and then notice the second wave come...

My SM tactics tend to be "Backpedal furiously while blasting everything with a stormbolter" if I run Tac, and "Astartes SMASH!" if I run Assault, as a few IGMB members can testify.
So, thanks to the assistance of Wraelis Colonel and some of his friends, I managed to boost my readiness rating high enough to get the ending I wanted. Reapers destroyed, Earth saved, mission accomplished.

Yeah, you've definitely got to learn to get in close and wail on things with whatever close combat weapon you've got, and be sure to use the stun move and then pull off gory executions. Much more effective in most cases... Well except with bomb Squigs--those you need to stay as far away as possible from and shoot the crap out of them before they can run up and say hello/go boom.

That's pretty much how i handled it. I still think getting health is pretty odd as it favors melee to a ridiculous degree but whatever. Whenever enemies tried melee'ing me and i was shooting them with a ranged weapon i mostly just jumped out of the way. It tends to work pretty well. Getting some distance between you and you enemies isn't a bad thing when shooting. Just wait until the chaos marines part. In some areas i think i had to stay at long range and snipe them with the lascannon. Those plasma cannon chaos marines are just too ridiculous.
In the game i find most of the weapons are awesome. The melee weapons (chainsword, power axe and esp. thunder hammer) and the ranged weapons (melta gun, plasma gun, auto cannon, heavy bolter, plasma cannon, lascannon, etc.) were pretty much godly. It was a lot of fun to play. I may go back and try to find more of the servo skulls as well. They weren't really that hard to find for the ones i did find.
As far as weapons this game needs i'd say an assault cannon. That would make my day. A rocket launcher might also be ok but i could do without it.

Your Galactic rating can still be at 50% and still get the best ending. Galactic Rating only increases the effectiveness of the troops for the final battle this can be waved aside by merely doing all the side missions and just creating a big force. Quantity over quality.
I'm sure most of the men in the galaxy are familiar with the sinking feeling that accompanies the words "Do you think you could do me a little favour, darling?", but when the woman asking the question is an inquisitor it's even less wise than usual to say "No".

@Armstrong: I could only get my effective military rating into the 3,000 area by doing all the side missions and the like. I'm sure a few of my decisions sabotaged it, though.

Today is the 15th Anniversary of the first airing of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I've got a big batch of curry going, and later on a friend is coming over and we're going to re-watch the first double episode to celebrate.
I've been getting some games in with my Nids against a Necron Player I met who lives just up the street. It's been a lot of fun because he doesn't have a lot of the really hardcore Units, so I can pull out fun stuff like my Warrior-centric lists and throw down on a more or less even field.
He said he wants to see what a Tournament Nid List looks like next week, though, so that's probably just going to be a straight-up stomp. Especially since we're playing at 1500, which is pretty much where my competitive Nid List peaks.

@westrider: What nids do you run? Some go shooty, some go stealer heavy and some go heavy on spore pods. I don't know if other lists are as effective but i heard those are the best or at least vs guard.
Project management is fun. At the end they will tell you to forget everything you´ve learnt cause in real life it doesn´t work anyways. It is easier to bribe the four individuals in the project who are actually working, with beer and chocolate to get project done.
My father's method seemed to involve conscripting me, saddling me with the problem areas of responsibility and then watching me threaten to maim the individuals responsible for the departments, and then watching the work magically appear. As it turns out, waterboarding produces surprisingly successful results if you do it in the nearest sewerage plant.
Yes, but he had a large thingy. You, my friend, clearly have one that is around average and are massively insecure about it (don't be, it really does not matter if the girl in question is into you - the last straight girl I got drunk with admitted the best sex she had was with a guy with a paltry three inches, good technique and an amazing tongue...lucky bítch...)
Also, everyone, if you spoil any mass effect 3 plot points for me I will ban you straight out. Sorry, but this is a point of principle for me - Makarova already ruined KoTor for me, so if you guys FUBAR ME3 then I will enact retribution.

So, I only fell into 5th place(I was in 3rd) after last weeks horrible, horrible, massacre against Space Wolves. I fell confident I can get into the top three again, or at least hold my ground in the top 5 of my league. We have 15 players this league, so it's a pretty big one. Well, it has been fluxuating actually. 16-14 players, depending on the week.
Think I mix it up, and roll out a gunline or mech platoon list, instead of my Spec Ops list.
As it turns out, waterboarding produces surprisingly successful results
Google some youtube videos on 'waterboarding'. I wouldn't consider it 'torture'. Yet others do.
It fascinates me why they call it torture. The main reason it isn't torture(in my opinion):
This
"Despite being waterboarded 183 times in March 2003, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed did not divulge actionable intelligence until at least 2006, withholding the information under torture. KSM revealed it only under the sophisticated non-coercive persuasion favored by professional interrogators."
If he was actually tortured do you think it would take more than 2 or 3 sessions. Now how about 183?
I doesn't look like torture to me. Unpleasant, scary, uncomfortable sure but not torture. But as Christopher Hitchens says; if the person interrogated didn't have the info they were seeking then it's a different story.
Thank you Rook. You are an exceptional man, do not let anyone ever tell anything else. You always astound me, by managing to be kind, thoughtful and caring. But also stand tall, be hard as steel and never back down.
