It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.
I wonder if any of the people who believed this was going to happen will feel silly at church tomorrow?

if it's like the Churches i was dragged to as a wee lad, they're all probably trying to figure out what all the others have done to have been 'left behind'.

That's really dark. I have no love for fundamentalists or religion, but I don't wish for anyone to kill themselves.
I'd much rather they just accept reason and logic. Or at least not so obviously contradict the very book they hold in such regard.
If they could accept "Logic or Reason", we (and I mean the entire population of planet Earth) probably wouldnt be in this mess in the first place.

they're usually so mild, you don't notice them.

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!

a 2.5 is nothing. When I lived in Cali, we never even noticed a quake that small.. On the other hand the Northridge Quake.. that was a serious ride.

You could get a 2.5 by dropping the hardcover Fantasy rulebook on the floor ¬.¬
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

not like you can driver around in a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT all the time or anything....
If there was an earthquake here i think Wales would break off from the Imperi- rest of Britain.
Then i would lose my best plot of land for driving my CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT which would be my main reason for freaking out...
The second would be because we would be a seaside town and i totally need new sandals and shorts...

Can someone remind me what the score is? I have lost count...
Atheists ?: Christianity 0
You do know, not all Christians are the same......
What branch of Christianity is this person belonging too? (I would imagine its one, he made up himself...)
You know, Christians enjoy labelling all others in general terms, why is it that you all possess differing views on the same topics and do not like to be labelled as a single group?
You have:
Catholics
Orthodox
Trinitarians
Protestants
Lutherans... not to mention the sub-sub-categories

Guys the Rapture happened I saw 200,000 Clowns get in a Clown Car that warped to the heavens we are all going to have to make do with out there depressing humor.
But on a serious note I believe Jesus will strike as a thief in the night and we will not know when it will happen.

Prepare for Zombies! Though, a Zombie Apocalypse doesn't really seem like punishment.
On a slightly related note, what happens if a Zombie bites a werewolf?
Werezombie?...
I had a brief moment of anticipation an hour or so ago...heard my neighbor screaming " Yes God!"...thought it was rapture time...but she was just visiting with her boyfriend.
