It's always gonna end in tears if one of the kids just can't get that
red keycard. That looks a bit cheap and nasty compared to those figures
you were getting Myrk.

It also looks vaguely dungeons n dragons esque, which is worrying to say the least for my "cool" factor... cough

I have the original LOTR RPG from the 70's. It's way too complicated to do anything but look at.

OKAY! WTF is Warhammer 40k? I have heard all my math-loving, anime-shirt-wearing friends talk about it? what's the deal with Warhammer 40k?

The miniatures are awesome to look at and great to paint, but the game is poorly thought out and riddled with idiot/cheaters.

Well they already released "Doom: The Boredgame", so I guess this was the next logical step.

Good Lord, Yak. I love you....
What's the deal with Habboi? Why does everyone dislike him? I mean, yeah he's a n00b, but not near as bad as a lot of them I've seen...

Basicly, its the Minitures Combat version of Crack.

You get the basic set and get whomped your first time out. So you buy and paint more minitures and get whomped again.
Repeat untill you start to talk to your minitures and buy new ones because the old ones told you "Another land raider would be cool!".
