Me and a mate used dice to settle an argument. 1,2,3 he's right, 4,5,6 I'm right

I kept having a program I was writing throw errors at work. I keep poking at it, trying to figure out what's wrong. It turns out that instead of 'CALMAR' I put in 'CALGAR'.

When you decided to bunk economic lessons to go spend an afternoon of gaming down the local Gamesworkshop.

To be fair, GW's success and pricing policy is a fairly decent economics lesson in itsleft.

As for me, if I ever have to charge at something (e.g. charging down a conversion kicker in rugby) I have this overwhelming desire to shout "WAAAGGGHHHH!!!" at the top of my voice...

Regular declarations of WAAAGGGGHHH, the occasional for the emporee, calling people I dissagree with heretics (jokingly of cource) and spending far too much time on dakkadakka.

When I introduce myself as Alpharius.

Too much Warhammer? When you decide your neighbour looks a but shady, and you find yourself in all seriousness considering calling the Ordo Hereticus. Only to realize i is known as the police

When you only have one pair of workboots with a gaping hole in them and decide to buy a box of the new csm raptors instead....fyi they are all still on the sprue and my socks got wet yesterday

When you want to go to a haunted building and put up signs that say "closed by Inquisitor Sasha Ehrenstein for investigation of heresy."

Sleeping on the couch because your room has turned into one big bits box.

Same thing here, in every video game - especially Dead Space. ( I actually didn't scare at all thinking that Isaac is in fact Space Marine LOL )

especially Dead Space

If they replaced spacemarines story with that of DS 1 &2 I think it would have been a much better story then that of the one they used.

When you spend several weeks learning how to program python so you can write a program to calculate the probability of winning close combat based on the number of models and stats of each model.

LIES IT IS IMPOSSIBRU!

Everyone knows that the Emperor prefers 2% Milk.

I play too much 40k because I'm considering having my DnD group temporarily end up on a 40K battleground between SM and Eldar.
I also have "Skulls for the Skull Throne." Set as a security question. Bet you can guess the correct answer.

Could have done that in 20 minutes with Excel or OpenOffice.

Having a program do it for you is quite nice though :p.

<- knows Python

My iPad's name is "The Emperor Protects".
When my wife gave me our walk in closet as my hobby room, and I have more shelf space for my figurines than I do my clothing.....

When you try and use your gear shifter in your car to fire an assault cannon at the guy who just cut you off.




Hehe, the Machine won't poop.

But that is perfectly reasonable.

I now spell Truck, "Trukk " :(

What was the question?

It was something about the Russians in WWII and there was some commisar that we were studying about.... obviosly yarrick was more important than whoever that guy was

A truck broke down at work and we decided it was because we didn't appease the machine spirit.

Also, saying "purge" instead of "delete".

Watching TV and yelling HERESY, whenever someone says something that would be heretical in 40k.

When whenever you get sick, you think you have nurgle's rot.

When a viable solution to a class project (for college) somehow involves making more terrain to donate to your FLGS.

When you dream about playing the game and have rules arguments with yourself you know you had one too many matches last week.

Naming your desktop Necron Lord and your laptop Wraith.

Playing Planetside 2 beta as NC (which seem to have the closest looks to the IG in my opinion). Shooting Terran Republic "KILL THESE HERETICS!! STRIKE THEM DOWN!! PRESS THE ATTACK YOU DOGS!!", and whats funny is the pubbies (people not in a clan, or squad or other organized group) and some squad member or clan people listen to me and charge headlong against a battle tank or entrenched enemy position and take it.

agianst the Vanu, who are more alien looking. most recent IG inspired "speech" "BURN THESE XENO SCUM!! KILL THEM WHERE THEY STAND!!", all the while standing on top of my Vanguard Battle tank. only after I get in my tank to drive it forwards do i realize what i said.

Playing World of Tanks. Driving a british tank and for a split second I imagined the top tier tank was a Baneblade. until I remembered its a FV215b.
Same game. just watched a joke on the space marine guy (Diomedes, lol) who yells "BAAAAAAAAAAAAANEBLAAAAAAAAAADE" or something at some point when one of them appears, I was fighting in a city map and a Maus (gigantic 188 ton German Super Heavy Tank) comes around the corner and I hear in my sub consious "BAAAANEBLADE!!" as i retreat away from the rampaging grey war machine.

I yell FOR THE EMPEROR as i charge with my tanks in game. I actually get either Imperial, Xeno, or Heretical responses from my own team or the opposite team. Alot of "Blood for the Blood god" mostly so im not alone.

When I play halo 4 and battlefield 3 I would shout things like "Burn heretic!"
