Things the frontpage says.

[Mr Mystery]

So I'm breaking my Golden Rule. The Golden Rule that states never read the comments.

And I'm doing it because some are just so downright hilarious, they need to be seen to be believed.

For instance, courtesy of The Emprah on the Godbeasts post...

Sigmaron. Derpest name ever.

Because no culture has ever named anything after a leader ever. Leningrad, Stalingrad, Constantinople, Falklands, Alexandria, Alexandretta, Cambodia, Rhodesia etc were all just conicidences. And the hundreds if not thousands of other places seemingly named after their Founder are likewise purely coincidental.

And don't forget Alexandria, Alexandria, Alexandria, Alexandria, Alexandria, Alexandria...

Why name something after yourself once when you can do it a dozen times?

[eldargal]

Yep, Alexander the Great names at least 70 cities after himself.

Idk it's a little too close to Sigmoron for me to take seriously >_>

Though speaking of the frontpage, always good to see some quality "humour":

12. Robin Williams was a Warhammer fan, and it is rumored that his close friend in GW told him about Age of Sigmar and what they planned to do way before it was released. Robin wasn’t thrilled.

20. A leaked Sisters of Battle Codex that is in development has a new special rule for that army. Every 4th week of the month, all Sisters of Battle armies gain Rage and Preferred Enemy Space Marines.

Nothing like making a joke out of someone's suicide - unless it's those crazy women and their periods amitrite?

[Mr Mystery]

Yahyourite.

Apparently.

I didn't find any of it particularly amusing. In fact, in terms of unamusing it registered 1.46Mightybooshes on the 'whydopeoplefindthisfunny-ometer'

I won't use the user's name for this, as it's not a screen name...

I love the point about the Sisters getting rage for 1 week a month. That's genius

Sigmaron actually comes up on my predictive text as does Necromunda I've turned my phone into a Geek!!

The frontpage does attract some interesting "characters" but I've been moaning about them elsewhere. Fortunately every time I've tried to read anything on it recently I've been whisked away to an advert so have been spared the comments.

To be fair, the last comedy list The Frontpage did was something like, "Worst Places to Live in 40K," with the Rainbow Warrior homeworld on it cos RAINBOWS = GAY AND EEWWWW GAY AMIRITE?!

Oof. Holy zoinks, I'm glad I skipped that one. Williams' death was a sad loss for everyone, and the way it happened was awful. (Also really sad that The Crazy Ones was actually a pretty good show and got chucked away while garbage like Big Bang Theory keeps going, and that was a huge blow to Williams. Doubt it would have helped, but I wish I'd found a way to send a letter or something letting him know there were some fans out there.)

That's just not cool at all.

My phone tries to change "Soooooooo" to "DOOOOOOOOOOOM".

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

That article wasn't even trying to be a humor article, though, IIRC. It listed genuinely awful places... and then ended with that one. None of that "joke" made sense.

Crap like this is why I don't go on the BoLS Frontpage anymore.

Doesn't help when they break up rumors/news on a single topic over at least 5-6 posts, some of which are posted right after the other, and the latter posts are always just one or two new sentences and then rehashing all of the prior posted stuff. Then tack in the "rules conundrums" that aren't examples of GW writing confusing rules but rather how far people will push things to try to argue over the rules. And finally add in complete non-news where they'll take something and speculate on it in a way that makes no sense (i.e. Warhammer World just put their Chaos Marines back in the shelf, saying "Chaos returns to Warhammer World!", and suddenly that's cause to speculate on whether it's a new Chaos codex or Chaos campaign coming up, rather than recognizing they were probably getting touched up or just rotating armies).

Pimpcron has done this style of post a couple of times now - and strangely splits the 'facts' between actual facts and just random cack he thinks is funny. The Robin William thing fell a bit flat for me - it was 'reallllly?' instead of outrage - he didn't even have the balls to go all in and be explicit about it - he just hinted what his point was. So still managed to be offensive without even a WOW Black Humour rating.
