Dear Matt Ward,

Thank you for internet porn

from Quagmire

Good lord.....for all the hate and Vitriol....

I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a miniatures game! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Dakkaites.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "40k player" ] You, you must be almost 30... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "40k player" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't just play 40k! I LIVED! So... move out of your parent's basements! And get your own apartments and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just a Game dammit, IT'S JUST A Game!

Sorry dude, you lost me when you mentioned girls... "giggle"

...What's wrong with the way I dress?

Dear Mr. Ward,

Thank you for having Dogface 76 bring his nerd rage to this otherwise light hearted and amusing thread. It is always a comfort to know there are still people out there who think all gamers live in their mother's basements, having never met a girl.

Hello good sir......am a gamer and have been in all my life. Please realize the quote is from another fan favorite .....our Capt. William Shatner.

Dear Matt:

Thanks for helping me improve my stance. I'm sure I'll be hitting more consistently from now on!

Dear Matt,

Thank you for lifting me from the streets of Brasil, inspiring me to winning the World Cup 3 times, and casting me in the movies... I loved making "Escape to Victory"

Dear Matt:

Thank you for teaching me the true meaning of Christmas

Your friend,

Thank you Matt Ward, I almost bought your new Grey Knights codex just to see what was written in it and confirm this horrible rumor of Grey Knights having an orgy in Sisters of Battle blood (must have been that time of the month). Instead, I decided to spend my money on something worthwhile and bought the Warhammer: Invasion booster that just came out. Keep up the good work in getting me to spend my money on better things: hookers, iced tea, meatballs, candy corn, pizza, blow up dolls, macaroni, cards, other peoples codeces, Charlie Sheen's new book on winning...you get the idea.


After going back and realizing what this thread has devolved too, I would like to add the following:

Dear Matt Ward,

Thank you for helping me be the best there is at what I do-even if what I do isn't very nice.

Love,
Wolverine, aka Logan, aka James Howlett, aka Patch, aka...

I think everyone should calm down. The only genuinely sensible course of action to deal wit Mat Ward is to burn him on a pyre of Grey Knights and Blood Angels Codices. That'll learn him. Learn him good.

Dear Matt Ward,

thanks for ruining our Codex.

Your necron loving
Blood Angels

Dear Mr Ward,

I don't know who you are. I haven't read the Grey Knights codex, and I have no intention of doing so. Actually I haven't read the fluff in any codex since 2006, because it's basically stupid crap.

But anyway, owing to the rumours and complaints of users across the Internet, I have been informed that the GK codex is the best one evar (x2) and I am looking forwards to reading many more secondhand descriptions of the awesome fluff therein, and why it is so crappy or awesome, depending on viewpoint.

Thank you for brightening my otherwise dull life.


The Emporess

Dear Matt:

The chicken we had at your house was the best I've ever eaten, can you send me the recipe? I almost think we could open a restaurant.

Colonel Harland Sanders

Now the Colonel is being dragged into this? Threatning Mat Ward with death and dismemberment is one thing, but insinuating the Colonel would sink so low as to eat dinner with him is just cruel!

On second thought, if the Colonel DID get his recipe from Mat Ward, I guess I misjudged the poor guy.

Thank you Mat Ward, for providing me and my future prosterity with clogged arteries and good gravy.

Gorgarak

I really wonder what would happen if good ol' MW read this? Would he believe we were really thanking him and give himself a pat on the back? Or would he cry and get even with us by creating dark angels who all switch their emblems over to slit-wrists as they are, after-all, emo-marines. Crap...I just gave him his next 'worst' idea, didn't I?

Dear Matt Ward

Thank you for posing for me last week
I hope to have captured the wry smile that effused upon your visage like the sun breaking through the clouds.

How serene and enigmatic you looked whilst I painted and you contemplated your next masterpiece. I hope my humble work will be as highly esteemed as your words are.

Thank you for giving me my first orgasm. I reached such high notes in my ecstatic screaming half the windows in Comorragh need replacing.

I don't mind that you made me call you 'Draigo' through it all.

Dear Mr Ward,

I would like to thank you for stealing rules and models out of the other marine codexes and putting them in the codex marines.

Thanks for coming and helping out at practice before our big game.

Since I am nourished by nerd rage, I would like to thank Matt Ward for all of the sobbing and hand wringing that his codexes have produced.

Their anguish sustains me.
