Why don't we ever hate on.....

[Defenestratus]

I haven't read this whole thread - but the reason you wont see any PP-hate going on is because you'll be mindlessly accosted by throngs of fanboys who cannot rub two brain cells together to question their unwaivering adherence to the gospel according to Privateer Press.

Its a sickness that I have unable to find a cure for.

According to them, GW eats babies for an appetizer, puppies for a main course, and kittens for a light desert - followed by a virgin's blood nightcap. On the other hand, PP are nothing but choir boys who have nought a greedy bone in their collective body and may or may not have been subjected to sexual molestation at their previous institution of religion - GW.

Don't forget Warmachine never crashes or gets viruses and 40k is barely functional.

Wait...wrong elitist fan base, sorry.


Actually I have to say, there was a big Warmachine tournament going on right next to our GT on the weekend and we never got any crap from any of them. It was a nice change of pace and I was very pleased. Every time I think about even trying Warmachine though I just have to remind myself that one of the tournament games this weekend ended in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. I do want one of their models to use for a DnD character or a conversion though.

Man. I have a PC and Mac that I use for entirely different purposes and I have Warmachine & 40k armies that I use for entirely different rulesets.

WTF is wrong with me!

Clearly you're some sort of paradox. Have you hidden a paradox machine away so that you can continue existing?

I don't much care if someone plays Warmachine or likes Apple, as long as they don't inform me of how "superior" their product is. That said, walking into a gaming store and hearing a guy talking to someone who was just talking about Warhammer Fantasy and pestering them to drop Fantasy and play Warmachine is extremely annoying.

I made the switch to mac purely because my accountant told me I didn't have enough expenses. I have to say after 3 years it's still going strong. Not once have I had a problem with it. It's never crashed once. Bought one for home with a time capsule and apple tv. Then "she" had to have an iPad and we got iPhones. I am sure Mr Jobs has installed a hidden brain wash program in his products. But no complaints from me. Not sure how much porn the time capsule can comfortable hold though.

I get my stuff legally, but I'm not going to join a game if I don't like the fluff. Particularly warmachine where the fluff seems more integral- as you have to use a special character for your general. I think they should make enough to give you a basic grounding in who is who and what each faction is like.

I' not suggesting that they give everything away for free. For example GW 40k should say that the reason we have chaos marines is there was a rebeliion in 30k where some of the space marines turned against the Emperor. People who want to know more can pay to find out about the exact battles, the roles of the custodes, malcador etc

Fair 'nuff. And thanks for taking my comments as they were intended, not as an assassination attempt. Nice to see a little maturity on the 'tinterpipe every now and then.

Stay chilly.

I hate the supply issues that PP is having in my area. I've been waiting for more than a month for my FLGS to get in more P3 paints, and almost as long for them to get in my Cryx models.

I hate that 40k models seem to have the same problem, never the one I want in stock when I want it.

I hate Rebeca Black, and her moronic song. I do find it highly amusing that she wound up famous because her parents basicly bought into a scam that accidently delivered, but only because it was so terrible that the entire internet needed to laugh at her.

I hate that my landlady's mom just moved in with us, bringing 3 more dogs with her. That makes 6 dogs, 2 cats, and 4 people living in a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom house in a bad neighborhood.

I hate that I can only find time or money to go out and play every two weeks, and those two facets only ever seem to align once a month.

But most of all, I hate blueberries. Seriously. Frak blueberries.

Hmmm. Not sure if you're referring to a penguin or a fruit.

[Wishing]

I blame myself for starting with PP as my example. Doh!

Sorry, but its the only other mini game I know enough about to hate on!

Curiosity - anyone know how/why "elitist" became the new gamer standard for dismissive language? It's come up an awful lot lately, and it seems a lot of those who use it don't fully understanding what they're implying.
