57 here---
Remember my last post, "I hate my computer sometimes"?
Probably, because really, something amazingly bad and annoying happened over the last week that incapacitated for the better part of a week. Something that prevented me from checking any of my regular news and caused me to get really, really behind on my writing.
I was on stumbleupon.com, just doing what one does on stumbleupon.com does. It was..... going. I was rather surprised when, suddenly all my browsers close, and this one "program" opened up telling me I was horribly infected with spyware. Well, I tried a few things (system restore, trying to use norton, etc.) and they didn't work.
It was at this point really I realized that this wasn't an anti-spyware program, no, it was a god damn virus.
So, I had to take it into a repair shop and get it fixed, which took a whole week. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to the guy for fixing it (not to mention having his shop here in Delaware), it was just annoying not having my computer to get to work on a few things.
Well, that's really it, I'll have more stuff coming over the next few days, just to keep content going, like maybe a review for bulletstorm, but we'll see what we see.
Cheers,

I hate my computer somtimes
I really do.
Albeit, it's probably my one connection to the outside world sometimes, since I'm stuck here in the middle of fucking nowhere Ohio, with no car and the urge to use my phone on the same level as punching a fucking grizzly bear. So, it is the only way I communicate with people, even at the minimum level it is.
But you know what happened today that just pissed me off? Of course not, that's why you're reading this. Anyway, here's what happened.
If you've been following the weather, then you'll know that a major snow storm has been raging through the midwest in recent times, and by that I mean its been shitting snow and rain. First it rained, the rain froze on the ground and created a sheet on ice on the ground about an inch or so thick.
Kind of a good thing in my book, since my classes were canceled today. So, I got up at noon (something I haven't done on a weekday in a while) got some food, chilled and what not. While walking back to my dorm, the weather shitting snow on my face, I realized this would be a good day to catch up on the pitches I've been writing (or not) and just relax until ten when I go out again to party.
So, I get back to my dorm and open up the Space Marine battle novel that's going to be one of my pitches to BL (The Blood on Khartas) and I was going to start writing. There was one problem.
It opened up in Microsoft Word 2007.
Now, that may not be a big deal to you normal people, but it was to me. Why? Because I still use 2003 because I got it for free (and as a college student I do not like paying more than $60 for something). I do not know why it did this, I don't have 2007 on here, so it baffled me. Whatever, I thought, Easy fix.
But a little voice in the back of my head told me, Check siege.
So I did. And low and behold, they're all in 2007. Now, being the computer moron I am, I didn't know how to decode this back into 2003, and I failed at downloading open office on here a while back. So, I then spent an hour converting those files into PDF format and copying and pasting them into another 2003 document.
I have no idea how this fucking happened, I don't have 2007, nor opened anything recent in 2007, even then when I did when I went back to my writing they were still in 2003. But really, what the fuck?

40k characters (specifically marines)
57 here---
A day or two ago a classmate of mine found out I played 40k and then proceeded to ask me a series of annoying questions about me playing wolves and what I thought about them and the other marine special characters.
More on that later.
Here's the Q&A of him asking me about wolves:
Q: Do you like playing wolves?
A: If I didn't I wouldn't play them.
Q: Blood Claws seem really good, since they have 4 attacks on the charge!
A: No they're not good.
Q: There not?
A: No. Because sure they get 4 attacks on the charge, but they will always be hitting on 4's or 5's, you can't re-roll those, not to mention if they're within 6-12 inches of an enemy unit they can't shoot unless there's an independent character or a pack leader with them, which is a stupid thing to do. The only way I'd use them is in a pack of 15 with a wolf priest in a land raider crusader, but then I'd be paying over 600 points for one unit, which is a fucking stupid thing to do.
Q: So, Grey Hunters are better?
A: Duh. In 40k you want units that can "Hold the hill," and Grey Hunters are fucking great at that. They're like Space Marines, but have more perks and the load-out of a Chaos Marine (which is damn good). So you're next question is going to be about Pack Leaders, which I will answer is stupid, if you have a unit of 10, you pay cheaply for a special weapon and the next one is free. The extra point to leadership isn't too bad since they have ATSKNF.
Q: Are Long Fangs good?
A: A bear shits in woods. Yes they're good. They can get 5 heavy weapons for cheap and each one can fire at a different target. Does that sound good to you, cause it sounds good to me.
Q: Do you take powerfists?
A: Yeah, because I want at least one thing in a unit to be able to take down a wraithlord in close combat.
(Wolves special characters time)
Q: I think Njal in terminator armor is pretty good, what do you think?
A: No, he's not good in terminator armor, or in general. Why? He's too expensive and doesn't do enough. With terminator armor he's 270 points, I could get a pack of Grey Hunters and unit of Wolf Scouts for that. His one thing, the changing weather shit, is not good because it's too small and doesn't do enough. Sure, he knows all the wolves psychic powers, but most of those aren't really good, and the few that are only really work against certain armies. He's not worth it. Period.
Q: What about Blackmane?
A: Too generic and too expensive for what he does. Enough said.
Q: Then what SC's do you like?
A: Cainis and Bjorn. Cainis because I run two units of thunderwolves and I want someone other than a Wolflord to lead the second, he does a good job of doing that, I've killed wraith lords with him. Bjorn because he's a fucking dreadnought, chances are in close combat enemies won't be able to hit him because they'll need 6's, and unless they have melta bombs or a power fist chances are they won't be able to hurt him either. Every time I've used him he's earned his points back. And then some.
(Blood Angels and Vanilla marines SC time)
Q: What do you think about Calgar?
A: He's alright. Expensive, but alright. The "God of War" rule is fucking stupid since it's chapter tactics, they just felt the need to make him seem better and put "God of War" in there.
Q: Ko'Sarro Khan is pretty good, I've used him, what do you think?
A: You're an idiot, but what else is new? Probably the only reason he's been good to you is the people you play against are morons, because he's an easy character to get killed, and expensive again. The only way to make him good is to put him on a bike, which is 45 points and does shit. I just need to unload with missile launchers and lascannons into his squad and he'll die.
Q: Ok, um, Blood Angels, what do you think about the sanguinor?
A: First off, his name is fucking stupid. Second off, he's too expensive and lacks the Independent Character rule, meaning he will get shot at a lot and die. If he had IC, he'd be a little more worth it, but he doesn't so he's not.
Q: Tycho?
A: Too fucking boring. I'd rather take a nameless character.
Q: Seth?
A: The one character I'd use, because he could kill a land raider and he's 160 points. I'm sorry, that's fucking good.
If I seemed rude it's because this guy was an idiot, asking me a bunch of stupid questions, getting the 40k fluff wrong (It was half the Raven Guard that turned, why do you think they're gene seed is so mutated?) and wouldn't leave me alone.
Piece of advise about talking or playing 40k, know what to do and know about what you're talking about, seriously. This really annoyed me, and chances are it'll annoy any other 40k player.

Blood Angels Second Wave
"The Storm Raven is here and it's not looking quite as ugly as we first thought."
-- Space Wolves Blog
No, sir, it's still ugly, they just added some landing gear and a couple new weapons.
Listen, I'm not going to tell my thoughts on how the Storm Raven looks, I've already been over that in an earlier post, so bashing on it again is blatantly idiotic. Look, if you like it fine, if you don't just use a Valkyrie like any sane person who doesn't want to pay sixty bucks for a hunk of plastic.
Anyway, the other two things coming in the second wave are the Blood Angels Battleforce and the Furioso Dreadnought.
The Battleforce first. Look, just buy a regular marines Battleforce and you'll get the same result, the only thing here of interest is the death company, but chances are any good Blood Angels player will have bought two boxes of them already so they don't need them. I'm surprised (or unsurprised) that GW took so long to put together a battle force that is nearly a complete copy of the Marine one. Whatever, if you want to pay $100 for a Battleforce, I won't stop you.
The Furioso Dreadnought. Ok, this is actually pretty cool. I've always liked the look of dreadnoughts, and here we have three potential variants in one box. Now, this is still the same basic layout for a dreadnought, but just the amount of extra bits and pieces offered in it really appeal to me. The three variants are the regular Furioso, the librarian dreadnought and the death company dreadnought, all have their own bit that contribute. Out of all the second wave, this is the one I would pick up.
Cheers,

Prospero Burns Book Review
57 here,Now there are few things that when I finish them I just sit back in awe for a moment and just think over the very thing, about how great it was, how well it was done and so on and so forth. The first thing I remember doing that was after reading David Gemmel's Waylander and it just blew me away. Just the epic story telling, the tales of pure heroics, just all of it. That happened again to me recently. I put down Prospero Burns and I just said, "Wow, just..... Wow." Easily I can say this is one of the best books I have ever read and the best Black Library has ever published.
The story is the other half, the Space Wolves half, of Graham McNeill's A Thousand Sons and everything that has happened is put from the Wolves perspective of the fall of Prospero. The story as McNeill and Abnett said was a tragedy, about two loyal legions pitted against one another in a battle crafted to be by the Primordial Annihilator, Chaos. And it all climax's in a suitable and amazingly crafted fitting and epic ending.
The story, unlike past Horus Heresy novels does not follow one direct Astartes, I use Astartes not space marine because "space Marine" just sounds bland and generic to me, and not once are the Wolves or Sons called that. But no, it doesn't follow one Astartes (I.E. Horus Rising, A Thousand Sons, The First Herectic) but follows the life of Kasper Hawser, a pseudo remembrancer/skjald that was interested in following the Wolves, is one of the few that is allowed to and slowly turns from a Terran-born man to very much like and similar to the Wolves.
The story slowly and very discreetly turns from his adventures with the Wolves to a darker spy/manipulation plot where he and the Wolves learn of the treachery during the Council of Nikaea and the sack of Prospero. It's refreshing to hear a story not based on the Superhuman Astartes, but with a character readers can relate with. With him there's much more confusion in the heat of battle, many more secrets from him, and a whole other mystery that he slowly unravels.
I will say it's a tad confusing when you start reading it, but that can be said about most books, and slowly Abnett works the reader into the story, keeping information until the last moment and unraveling the events in a way that keeps the reader involved and interested until the dust settles and the last sentence ends in a work of near mastery.
Prospero Burns is a book that will blow many people away with its grand story telling, its mystery, epic characters, and its plot that has indeed shown why Prospero is an event worthy of telling in the Horus Heresy series. Easily, this is Dan Abentt's best work and the best book ever to be printed by the Black Library.
57's score: 5/5
Read it. You won't regret it.

Zodiac Bullshit
57 here,So, now everyone is freaking out about how the earth has wobbled and changed what their Zodiac sign is now, huh? Odd, my sign changed and I find it really hard to care.
Why? Simple, I don't really believe the Greek Zodiacs very much. I used to be an Aquarius, which means my personality should have been like so:
Poor, unhappy, unlucky, unsuccessful, medium height, rare faculties, self-esteem.
Well, I'm not poor (outside of being a college student) I'm not unhappy, I have pretty good luck, I'd like to think I'm successful, I'm 6'1'', rare faculties=bullshit, the only thing here that makes sense is the self-esteem. Well, that's crap.
Now, I'm a Capricorn, which now means I should be this:
Mean-minded, stubborn, ignorant, miserly, pushful, unhappy, boring, active, meddlesome, obliging, humorous, witty, affable, prudent, firm.
Well, I try to be nice a lot of the time, I'm slightly stubborn at not doing what I don't want to, fuck no I am not ignorant, still not unhappy (though I'm not happy either, I.E. I'm neither happy nor unhappy), I'm not pushful, I take offense to being called boring, sure I try to be active, I steer clear of other people's business (unless it affects me), I try to be convenient, Humorous and boring together here makes no fucking sense, sure I'm witty I guess, prudent or affable make no sense, and firm, not really most of the time.
Wow, sounds a lot like garbage to me.
The Greek Zodiac is based on constellations, not any earthly thing, that's why I don't trust it. The only Zodiac I trust is the Chinese. Why? I like the Greeks and all, but the Chinese Zodiac has been around for much, much longer, therefore it has a better chance and better accuracy to predict people. Sorry, I'll take the more ancient and more accurate Chinese philosophy over the younger Greek.
So, in the Chinese Zodiac I'm a monkey, meaning:
Joker, up for a good time, has a hard time showing self, can understand things and adapt well to them, and helpful.
Yeah that's really more accurate.
Look, I don't get why people are so keen to know what their future holds. To prepare for it? Hey, one of the fun things about life is to live and take whatever is thrown at you, be it good or bad. If you prepare for one apparently bad thing, and it turns out something bad happens, then you feel worse.
The Fun things in life are living and experiencing what live gives you, adapting and having fun. Knowing the future takes that away, takes away the surprise and potential it has. I generally don't worry about the future that much, aside from where I'm going to work and eat and all that, and I have fun.
If we knew everything about the future and the universe, that wouldn't be fun, we'd all just sit around and be bored, moaning about the meteors coming tomorrow or how we know this or that won't last. Taking in the unknown is fun, a new adventure every day. And that's what matters.
I know this is off topic, but hearing about the Zodiac change got me thinking about the future and how little we know. Sometimes there's a reason for us not knowing something, true knowledge, after all, is knowing we know nothing. And there's a good reason for that.
My advise, if you choose to take it, is live by the day. Sure, think about tomorrow, but don't worry about it. We adapt and change to whatever is thrown our way, and that's what makes life fun and partly why its worth living.
Just think about it, that's all I'm asking.

Chaos codex thoughts
So, I was reading through the Bell of Lost Souls forum earlier and saw that they allowed people to post on what they wanted out of a new Chaos Marine codex and this got me thinking. It's no lie to say that the Chaos codex rather blows right now, and I really liked how the old one allowed you to do Legion specific chaos legions. So I thought why not bring that back? It was fun, if lacking a bit sure, but then you could have an army that could do what you wanted to do, right? Right. So, I thought for a bit, and this is what I came up with:
Give HQ's and infantry point upgrades to outfit them more properly to their specific legion, such as space wolves (I.E. lord gets a 15pt upgrade, or so, to allow troops to benefit from legion specific rule). Such as the following:
Emperor's Children: High initiative assault/shooting units. If lord has Emperor's Children mark, sonic weapons can be bought for a cheaper price (though still available for units who bear Children's mark, but slightly more expensive).
Iron Warriors: Anti-Tank upgrades for infantry. A mere maybe couple points upgrade to them granting a tank hunter rule, or something along those lines for Melta/Lascannon weapons. For the lord he can choose to fortify one piece of terrain for better cover save (like master of the forge) showing the Warriors use of trenches.
Night Lords: Assault troops. Gain night fight and move through cover rules if infantry buy upgrade. If the lord purchases the upgrade, then raptors gain the hit and run special rule to represent their fast moving terror tactics.
World Eaters: Infantry gain Extra number of attacks and fearless. Lord allows them to also gain hate and possibly blood frenzy and maybe an Epidimius style counter system for however many kills they make. If lord takes upgrade, no sorcerers can be included.
Death Guard: Squads lose most special weapons (Flamers, Meltas, Plasmas, etc.) but gain higher toughness and increased accuracy. Lord Grants army Feel no pain. Limit one havoc choice at higher cost showing the Death Guard's lack of heavy weapons.
Thousand Sons: Gain AP 3 bolters but lose any and all special weapons, still lead by sorcerer and still slow and purposeful. Lord grants a lower price on sorcerer upgrades and gives 4+ invulnerable to all thousand son units. No units of the World Eaters can be taken.
Black Legion: Squads gain ATSKNF. Abaddon turns units fearless and grants (at cost) relentless.
Word Bears: Squads given fearless and can re-roll failed moral tests. Lords give maybe two or three sergeants the ability to re-roll EITHER failed to hit or to wound roll to their entire squad. Can take daemon allies.
Alpha Legion: Squads can infiltrate, and guard platoons can be taken at maximum 15 model squads. Lord Grants the ability to outflank, even from opponents side of table (still needs to roll to see where they enter).
I'm sure there are problems people will have with this, but it's just something I thought up. So, why don't you all comment on how you'd want the new Chaos codex to work. Seems fun.
Cheers,
