Interesting video self-documentary about a guy who feels like the internet is invading too much of his life, so he tries to go offline starting May 1st.

Of course that also means that he will not be able to do any online gaming, so he will need a replacement for his Starcraft fix, guess where he goes (@4:44)

He still uses the computer. He films himself, edits it on his computer, loads the file on a flash-drive, and carries it to a co-worker who uploads it.

I like to imagine the Emperor kills so many Orks that he ends up half buried beneath a pile of corpses, with only his head sticking out. A lone grot stumbles across him, and starts choking him.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

The starter set is actually a pretty decent deal, especially if you plan on playing one of the armies in it. I would say that the deal would be better if he could sell the other models on eBay, but oh well.

If you're a new player, the starter set is a great deal. So go ahead and be proud that you overpaid for your rulebook, dice, templates and first 50 or so miniatures.

Not to mention the rule book from it being quite nice and the red sticks included for rule disputes have been quite useful.

Yeah I can't wait until the starter set comes out. A rulebook for our gamer group, and a huge discount on a tonne of models. Good times.

Ever thought 40k would be a lot better with bears?

Of course it is! Me and Albatross got one each and split the models.

Everyone know this, Norn King is being an elitist nerd.

"He bought a starter set?! NOOB ALERT!"
