In an effort to continue the ZZ Top references, I’ve bee Under Pressure, So you better Give me All Your Loving when part two comes out.

I’m hoping to get review part 2 done over the weekend, I’ve had unusually large workloads these past weeks. It’s been hard to have any free time.

Well you made the right choice not spending time around Something Awful. You don’t want to head-desk yourself to death. The article on 40k is worth checking out. Warning: swear words!

Great review so far… I’ve been dying to get back into 40K and I’ve always wanted a hive… I think now may be the time for that…

No I haven’t. I don’t spend much time around Something Awful. The Tau have the mech suits, I haven’t the foggiest idea what the lightsaber skeletons are. Necrons?

The Tau are the anime mechs that came after I stopped paying attention, right? The ones right before the lightsaber skeletons?

I assume you read the SomethingAwful 40k article?

Alrighty then. More fluff incoming. Just as soon as I get through this math. . .

A third awesome article on alien warlords? Oh, I don’t think I’ll mind too much.

Mordicai, the plot never moves, ever. If Ed doesn’t mind too much, there may need to be three parts to decently handle the fluff on the ‘hero’ bugs. The overall plot, especially for the Tyranids, is pretty much OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT!OHSHIT! MARINES FUCKYEA!

Although, for a while The Tau had fought the Tyranids once, slaughtered the bugs without losing a man. That got psuedo-retconned, but I thought it was pretty much perfect fluff-wise. Bugs fall from sky, get blown to bits by the best airforce and ranged weapons in the universe before actually hitting anyone.

Talk about the story! I really like hearing about 40k. I may not play, but the over-the-top world building is super hilarious & great. I’ve ALWAYS been a tyranid fan; but then, I have a way inappropriate crush on Giger’s Aliens…

Every time I’d get a message from you, I was like, “Why is the guy from ZZ Top emailing me?”
