Did you really dislike Titanicus? I don't remember many Turbolasers. More like glorious Vulcan Megabolters killing everything. Everything.

Actually, it was a Dominix vs. a Megathron.

Do you play Eve?

Huh, could'a sworn you said Brutix vs Raven. Yes I do, on and off inbetween WoW expansions and expeditions back to Runescape.

I'm going to pick up a Myrmidon today. The Vexor is a sweet ride, but she's getting a little old and I've had the skill to fly bigger things for a while now.

Correction: you are now #2 but still not bad.

Well, there are more than one pro players out there!

Alex has more converting time built into his personal schedule, allowing him to accomplish feats like this:

Nice. Very Funny!

I choose cake!

What do you mean youre out of cake? You werent expecting so many people to choose cake?

That model is the awesome....not as full of META as you though Dash!

love it

but why the Titanicus hate Titans do indeed use Turbolasers. Double barreled Turbolasers in fact. just look around forgeworld.


@nosferatu1001: BTW the Cake is a lie and so is the Pie. im a poet and i know it

Because turbolasers belong on STAR DESTROYERS! A Titan can have Laser Cannons, Particle Projection Cannons (PPCs anyone?), Laser Batteries, Laser Doohickeys, Laser Whatchamacallits, or Laser whatever you want. But fething turbolasers are for STAR DESTROYERS!!!

Really? Really? Turbo-lasers have been around as long as there have been Titans, and the turbo-lasers mounted on Star Destroyers aren't much larger than the ones found on Reavers and Warlords. I think you're being foolish.

What?!
GW borrowed names and ideas from someplace else?
That just can't be.

No, he's being META, you're just not META enough to understand his META. Noob.

Blast, you've got me there... I'll have to eat more Fish Fo'lays and fap to Sisters of Battle.


As a side note, your GIF makes my browser lag when I type Terminus. It is cool; speed typing lets me take it apart frame by frame.

The cake is NOT a lie, i've seen it! Maybe Black Mesa?

But theyre not turbolaser destructors now, are they! Clearly more powerful because of the word Destructor! added on the end

What do you do now?

He's going to Disneyworld!

After all, he lives in Flordia...

Actually, I'm not going to Disneyworld, but my wife is in a couple of weeks while I go to a tournament.

In response to the question, "What will you do now?" I offer this insight into the skills of a professional gamer:

Working on my META skills are definitely what helped me get ahead; if I had to rate META skills, its like my META is so far ahead of everyone elses' META that while everyone was catching up to 5th edition META, I was zooming through sixth edition, and now my META is so advanced that its gone full circle around to first edition and is about to hit third edition. Which is why I now play Necrons. Seriously. Sitting here right now getting ready to assemble some wraiths. My META skills are so advanced that I'm going to LAP everyone elses' understanding of META soon.

Dash will now decide the meta.

New meta is that Crons are cool and Mech is sooooo last year

WHAT!.... Is yer name?

Who wants to know?

Today's question for a Pro 40k player comes from an e-mail from a fan...


Q: Dear Dashofpepper: Is there a Professional 40k Gamer Club or anything? Do you guys share tips and strategies?


A: Yes, there is a club for the 40k professionals. However, its a secret club, and membership is be closely monitored invitation only. We have a secure server that hosts our forums and everything is encrypted while access is closely monitored. Can you imagine if all our our super-META skills made it out into the general populace? Its been an amazingly difficult routine and hard training to get to where I am, and I know that the other professionals work just as hard to get as good as they are. While we *do* share some tips and strategies with each other, everyone has their own unique take; their own "zen" that distinguishes them individually. These individual secrets get passed on master to apprentice when a professional exits the hobby, which is how another professional enters the 40k scene and quickly rises to prominence.

One day I will take on an apprentice, much like my former master did for me.

Once I had mastered his skills, tactics and osmosed all of his META, I tied him up, taped his eyelids open and forced him to read a CS Goto novel aloud to new 40k players. He chose suicide instead.

Given the choice between reading about Slaanesh Worshiping Fat Farseer perverts and Terminators with BFF Karskin surfing into battle together on a Razorback that then transforms into a Land Raider or stabbing myself in the eyes with a spoon until the grey matter leaked out... I would have to pick the latter.

I laughed at this. Very hard.

Not sure if want...

Three pages so far, and the haters have not managed to get the thread closed.

Dash, your META is truly inspirational, as I give it sole credit for this feat.

Well, the haters showed up and I laughed at them. They didn't get my META skills.

You say that like you haven't been fapping to Sisters of Battle this whole time, when everyone here knows the very idea is absurd.
Or is it the combination with Fish Fo'lays that triggers the transformation, or rather METAmorphosis, into a pro?

As for the gif, it shouldn't cause browser lag unless you're surfing the web on whatever crappy computer they force on you where you work.

HA now your ranked only 2nd...you scrub.

I know it's satire and not to be taken literal but I find myself asking this question...why should I care

That is a pretty good question.

To be fair, it could really be applied to the entire forum and probably most of the internet. It's actually a pretty huge concept. Why, indeed?

NeedsMoreDakka wrote:HA now your ranked only 2nd...you scrub.

You're the scrub. Dash is so META they actually started turning him away at tournaments, so he's had to assume an alias and wear a disguise. So now he's ranked 1 AND 2. His META is like fething super-sayian.
