Nice find. I like the end:

Yeah it goes way to in depth talking about the game and making people who play it both seem hard core and nerdy. It should be calling Chaos and Dark Eldar out for trying to be totally hardcore when in fact they are not.

Someone will fix it eventually.

I really hope not

Damnit! Our secret is out...

fething awesome.

"Orks are the only army in the game to use proper guns. While Eldar use ninja-star guns and Imperial Guard use flashlights, and Tau use energy weapons, Orks stick with American guns, using small gunz, big gunz, bigger gunz, and the Shokk Attack Gun"

Hellz Yeah!

It started out really funny then just got boring, edit it by deleting 2/3 of it

Same thing I was thinking, TL;DR

I liked the highlighted text:

mouseover 'own' would bring up a box with 'pwn'
mouseover 'making s*** up' would produce 'Fox News'
etc.

Canonical Material = 'Bulls***'
Warhammer 40K Rulebook = 'Fail'
5-Year-Old = '16 Year Old Girl'
At Least 100 = 'Over 9000'

Sounds like someone who's really into the game wrote it

I laughed, I cried...

I really like the idea of a sarcastic article about the game we all love. However the comedy was 13 year old juvenile gay jokes for the most part. If someone with a touch of maturity and writing skills would have done this I would have emailed it to everyone who knows I play. Sadly I can only take poorly written juvenile jokes for so long. Nice idea, poor execution. 2/10

Bloodstorm Ravenblade would take issue with your offense.

I simply called it like I saw it. It was not my style and I stated why. The post did say it was offensive so I was just in agreement with that, however for different reasons then he would have thought. It also said feel free to rewrite the entire article. I posted what I thought would make it better. This is the internet and harsh opinions are pretty common. Mine should not come as a surprise. In fact I would imagine it was expected.

I completely agree with Sha1emade.

Hmmm. Lets write about something and just swear, be homophobic and not really all that well.

About as funny as cancer in a newborn I'm afraid.

Well, this is probably funnier :

But like I said, the person who wrote the Encyclopedia Dramatica doth
protest too much. They secretly love 40k

Took the words right out my mouth MDK. There is a thin line between satire about our hobby (which I've no ojection to) and downright, ill-informed abuse. This person obviously thinks they are being whitty and clever. In reality they're just being immature, cude and about as subtle as a sock with a snooker ball in it.

In a word, crap.

It strikes me as the sort of drivel Russell Brand would get an award for.

Pick subject.
Be rude
Swear a bit
Mention how much sex you get
Explain how cool you are
Be rude again.
Swear a bit more
Mention your dinkle
Fin.

^ agreed.

All of it. Obvious.

I think the beauty of it, is if you don't think the article is funny, you can go funny it up. It's a wiki you can edit it easily.

Heheh, Lord of Change=Obama!

Woo Hoo! what an interested website you've found, since i first look at Hello Kitty Dread.

is that like a same kind of Uncyclopedia?

governor of California is a Necron Lord.

Where's his Rez Orb and his Veil O' Darkness? (I guess the Veil is his humie face)

That article made me lol. Cherry picked quotes:

'Life is cheap. Tanks are not. Infantry Swarm, FORWARD!!!!! '

'The Tau are what you would get if the Chinks were blue and in space, Tau believe in "Da Greater GOOD" which is essentially Space-Communism, and makes the Chink parallel complete. '

aside from Sisters of Battle that like to KILL IT WITH FIRE, Angry white haired, well endowed ladies in red and black latex are toting guns and here for your soul. '

''basically every other science fiction series uses hyperspace. 40K, however, uses the Warp, which is the gay pink-purple alternate-reality that explains both interstellar travel and why there are ugly Demons running around in sci-fi land.'

i read a few other of those articles, i agree with MDG but taken lightly i can provide a small amount of mirth

his views on anime and japan are rather interesting

good find though

It's not one person. It's a ton of people. Some of the less popular articles are probably only one or two people's writing.

ED's been around for a while and it's really a more truthful and accurate depiction of internet/nerd stuff without all the PC BS.

See, wikipedia would have 50 pages about some mundane event in warhams 40k. ED says "wtf is this gak nobody cares" and everyone's better off.
