Neutral, maybe leaning a bit toward the good side. Most of the people who I expect wouldn't like me are the ones that take arguing over the internet too seriously.
And I know a couple people recognize me from my review of my shit. That's something that stands out.

Is that so? Guess I do have something that identifies me - I'm a 40k nut. Heh.Soviet Heavy said:
By the way, as far as the quality of W40k writing it concerned... I don't play the tabletop, so I've never been affected by the alleged atrocities of Matt Ward firsthand, but most of the novels put out by the Black Library are still damn good. Especially the stuff written by Abnett and Dembski-Bowden.
Yeah, but I blame you're avatar, it makes me think of the guy with the dancing Turian avatar.SpaceBat said:
Ward's Crunch has gotten a little better, but his Fluff is terrible. Especially the infamous Khornate Knights incident.Sonicron said:Is that so? Guess I do have something that identifies me - I'm a 40k nut. Heh.Soviet Heavy said:

Abnett's writing is good, but I am so sick of the Horus Heresy novels right now. They started out so strong, but then it got into the heads of the writers to drag it out for as long as possible. They are going on nearly twenty books and are still nowhere close to the siege of Terra.
That I feel is the biggest problem with the Black Library and 40K fluff as a whole: they expand sideways, instead of moving forward. So far, only the Ciaphas Cain books and Relic's games from Dawn of War 2 onwards have pushed past M41 and into the early M42.
I'm not a 100% sure, I think I have a mixed reputation. I think I might have been labeled a heretic for saying I thought that Half Life was mediocre, and I think I bring up my fondness of Halo a little too much for some people to not get annoyed. However I've had some nice talks with people and started a couple of good threads so in reality I have no idea. Anyone care to help me out here?
I read about that infamous Khornate Knights incident, but from what I gather the fluff behind Kaldor Draigo is even more of an abomination.Soviet Heavy said:Ward's Crunch has gotten a little better, but his Fluff is terrible.

As for the Horus Heresy, I still like it. Don't get me wrong, I'd very much like to see the final story arc sometime soon (I don't think they'll confine it to just one novel), but I'm quite happy with all the different perspectives presented in these novels. There are still a few legions I definitely want to have dedicated books, such as the Night Lords, Iron Warriors and Salamanders. (And speaking of Abnett, he's writing the novel about the Word Bearers' invasion of Calth; let's see if he can make the Smurfs and Rowboat Girlyman actually look cool.)
eh peple must think im a pretty cool guy, i post topics and doesnt afraid of anything.
In seriousness I would be surprised if any of you could remember my name

I think I am relatively unknown, but I hope people like me. The pony avatar probably doesn't help.
Neutral. I have my friends but I expect most people who don't know me personally treat me like the other anonymous voices of the internet.
Oh yeah... I forgot, there are 'things' I want to do to you, aren't there?! =Pstaika said:Modesty is a strength of mine

I presume I am unrecognised simply because I don't really involve myself in much discussion in threads or within groups. If I am recognised however, I'd say I'm neutral as theres only been one time where I've had an argument with some one and I think they were banned. Besides that I can't recall ever disagreeing with or doing anything that would make someone dislike me, or like me.
