I'm totally in the same boat. I LOVE the WH40k lore, but can't get into the tabletop game (my friends all love it). The Horus Heresy books are a pretty good place to start to read up on it.

The daemonic are without number, and their legions span the galaxy. But faith does not tire. Should it take us an eternity, the Ordo Malleus will find and exterminate them all.

"I thought they just lived in the damn things. I mean, why take it off?"

Seriously. Budokai 3 was awesome. I can't stand any of the "over the shoulder" iterations that came later.

As the owner of a 2011 WRX, all I can say is...

I know this article is O-L-D, but as someone that primarily uses DSC for it's shaving butter (waaaaay better than other stuff I find in CVS/the supermarket), does anyone know where they source it from?

My question is: are players expected to have the acting ability of injury-faking soccer players or the toughness of I-took-a-puck-to-the-face-but-I'll-get-back-out-there hockey players?

It is referred to as a MOBA - Multiplayer online battle arena or also an "Action RTS"

ok, I'll give you props for the Archer reference. My point was that it was kind nice to see the comment section primarily complaining about how sexualized and ridiculous the poses were.

Because you weren't using Jezebel like it was a pejorative. Riiiiiiiight.

It's less the skirt and cleavage and more some of the poses that were drawn. Snow White? C'mon. And yes, I know that is a "classic pin up pose," but that doesn't make it less loathsome.

"I'm loving all this (over)analysis of the drawings. Feels less like Kotaku and more like progress."

Eff that s! Rancid is terrible. Green Day is amazing.

I just wanted to say "thank you." This was a very informative post.

First, this is not a stereotype I'm getting from media. This is from anecdotal experiences I've personally had with Italian Americans over the course of my life, from different areas.

How is it xenophobic and judgmental when 1) I clearly say that I have friends that are actually from Italy 2) my beef is with Americans…

No. There is "Italian" and there is "dialect." And many Italians speak their own dialect. However, they all - at least the ones I've met - acknowledge that they are speaking dialect and not pure Italian.

ok, my apologies for just following the above poster's statement that it likely originated with Sicilians. I don't know where it came from (maybe it's Neapolitan??), but it drives me bonkers. My family had a guest one time for dinner that was Italian American and enraptured my parents and aunt and uncle for a half…

Well, I have heard it as an "eh" so I thought it was worth pointing out. :)

Oxford lists both as acceptable pronunciations (although your correction is first):

I hate, HATE when Italian Americans (who are likely descended from Sicilians) say crap like that (disclosure - I grew up with a lot of them). See my comment above related to bruschetta and I have been told directly by real Italians that the last vowel is not dropped, sauce is NOT called "gravy", and a whole host of…
