"kills don't matter, it's a team-oriented objective based game" is something said by scrubs who can't get kills
the mod-only beta is running, right? what's it like, kosh?
but since i have everyone's starcraft information anyway i'll just ditch it

I would totally play BrikWars if I knew anybody nearby who would play with me.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I think it is counting 'Cass' as still being on the server and it might automatically drop that? I don't know. But that's where I went and I am trying to get back in.
it's fairly neat for busses and crap
i like the aesthetics but i know very little about the lore
and that's how i want to keep it

after the match, superfluous victory screen aside, you will get a phone call

and the gengars who are guiding me" -- W.S. Merwin
I play Fantasy. Fantasy is slightly slow and plodding, and while there are gunline armies (Skaven, Dwarves, High Elves) a huge part of combat is the nitty gritty of positioning, flanking, charging and maneuvering. I play Orks and Goblins. I like this system a lot. I enjoy the slow march up the board and the early magic/shooting/scouting strategy of the early rounds. I like having huge masses of slow forces. I like the system of the armies being more blocks of troops with a hero here and there rather than a mass of individuals.
In 40k I tried Tyranids and later Sisters of Battle. I found that there's a lot more shooting, a lot less worry about positioning and flanking etc. Squads are radically smaller and each guy has like five upgrades. Because you have 8 Sisters of Battle to a squad instead of 40 goblins, painting became a pain in the ass because of all the fucking detail. There was a lot more 'haha, fuck you!' mid-game shit that would pop up (tanks transporting units, burrowing tyranids and spore pods, Space Marine drop pods, heavy weaponry that is only brought up occasionally). There's still as much strategy to it, I just don't prefer it.

Such thoughts are heresy.
I hate the universe too.
Wait, you're talking about the Warhammer universe...
nah, I think they've foregone that step in favor of just rolling the full thing out asap.
I feel like a lot of people don't really get that it's tongue-in-cheek
I prefer tentacle-in-cheek.
It strives to be over the top in every conceivable fashion, every second of its existence. And then there's Orks.

Had no idea it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
The Warhammer 40k universe has a few decades behind it. It's by its very nature a very dark universe, but most of this is meant very tongue in cheek. Like, a pretty real danger if you live in the 40k universe is that Space Orks will get bored, use their ragtag ships to hijack an asteroid and strap guns and explosives to it, and then fly it into your planet.
But when you have literally decades of constant material coming out in books, magazines, websites, whatever, there are always going to be authors who muck it up, so sometimes you end up with retarded shit that a 12 year old would think is awesome radical.
