Interesting, one thing I don't like not know anything about mixed with another thing I don't want to ever know anything more about...

wh40k and mlp:fim

Since they have decided to amalgamate into this thread maybe they can answer me a pair of questions.

1. What the hell is wh40k?
2. I don't like these ponies, why do you?

Warhammer 40k is the most hopeless of universes.

There are no good guys, and the few that do exist die for no reason. The 'best' side, and only because they're human, are best termed as "Catholic Space Nazis".

Every side is trying to wipe out the others. To literally genocide them completely and destroy their very worlds. Humanity has all the military tactics of the first world war.


Now, My Little Pony is the opposite.

Damn, I had to laugh about this quite hard, but if I am honest....
Shit, it's true.
Only that I would call the "best" side the Eldar, even though they are kinda the "elves of wh40k", since they display the least aggression to all "living" races I think (IF not attacked ofc).

The MLP.....
dunno, just watched the first 2 episodes on YT, and I HAD to smile....
It's not playinly boring like all th other kidsshows out there, and there is not singing every 5 minutes (I quite lol'd about the "she does not really....""Oh, I think she does...." when Pinky started to sing....)
And it is so opposite to DF and all "usual" PC/onlinegames, that it is attracting each other like the strongest magnet there can possibly be and a planet made from iron 10 cm away from each other.

Eldar won't actually personally kill you, they'll just manipulate events such that your entire world is deemed traitor and destroyed by your own side, just so they don't lose a teddy bear.

What I want to know is, since when did half of the internetfags turn into furries? Seriously, I don't get where the whole "Oh my god! Ponies!" thing came from. My nine year old sister wouldn't touch an episode of My Little Furry with a ten-foot pole. Now, I'll be back later, I have to go play Co-OP GTA with her.

I haven't truly played GTA since San Andreas, there was just nothing more that they added to the game other than fancy graphics. I played about an hour of GTA4 and got bored of all the similarities, so I decided to watch MLP for entertainment.

Seriously? I have no clue what the ponies are all about, but then again I used to play neopets five years back and I have no clue what that's all about currently. I still have nightmares of my poor Lupe starving alone on some dark lonely street while my stocks increase 400%, but I just can't think of a reason to play. The worst part is, he won't die. He'll just stay in a permanent stasis of miserable starvation. Why won't they just let him die.

Yeah, the Eldar are some of the most selfish and egotistical creatures in the galaxy.  They only don't kill off the humans because they're too weak to do so after creating the chaos god of sadism.  They work with the Imperium rarely, because they have similar enemies, but make no mistake that the Eldar would just as soon have all the humans dead if it would benefit them (presently it doesn't, we're nice cannon fodder).

Now, supposedly the Tau really are the good guys, but based on what I've heard they're actually racists who subjugate all of the other aliens they ally with into second class citizens.  Still not much of good guys.  I actually know very little about the Tau, they interest me very little.  Maybe even less than Necrons.

Eldar are assholes.

Tau sterilize their alien citizens so they're still the majority.

Imperium is a bunch of superstitious fools.

Tyranids are just hungry.

Chaos hasn't killed off Abbadon and gotten a decent leader yet.

Necrons are a bunch of soulless machines.

Orks, however, are at their win state. They live to fight, and the galaxy of statics, unchanging war is where they love to be.

Yup, Orks won 40k already.

4/10, I thought you were serious for a moment there.

Better yet, they reproduce with spores.

Ork tech works based on the principle that nobody has told them it shouldn't work.

Also, Ork camouflage:
"Why is the entire army painted yellow and purple?"
"It's camouflage!  You know, so that we can be sneaky!"
"But why yellow and purple?"
"Well, if camouflage is good, then more camouflage must be better, right?  And camouflage is meant to make people see it, not the people wearing it, right?"
"Well, yes, but-"
"So, if we make the camouflage really visible, then it'll make our soldiers almost invisible.  That's logic, see."
"I'm still not convinced."
"Well, look at it this way:  Have you ever seen a yellow and purple army?"
"...No."
"Exactly!"

And of course, they famously paint their vehicles red, because red trukks go faster.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

the awesome thing is: because orks are faintly telepathic, it actually works through their collective belief in it

I'm not surprised that the seeds of a WH40k derail were planted on the first page.
