Wasn't there a fic on FiMFiction about a 40k Imperial soldier who went to Equestria to wipe it out, then spent most of his time there digging the perfect trench?

Yep: Dig Korps of Krieg and it's full of both 40k in-jokes and general humor, read it.

Already have

Alas, I don't follow 40k, so it was all rather over my head

...I do appear to be in a trench of some kind at this point

Go browse 1d4chan's 40k section and you should get most of the 40k in-jokes.

[Tytan]

There're also lore videos on YouTube.

Not in-joke-ie enough, most of the in-jokes come from /tg/, thus 1d4chan.

Haven't played Dark Souls, but from what I heard of it and what I remember of the movie, this seems right:

Amusingly, the only time I have ever seen 40k was back when I was in...late elementary school/middle school along with Magic the Gathering

There was ALWAYS a magic game going on in the cafeteria somewhere

now, at college age, it's popular again...how odd we put popularity on hold for high school

Yeah, the problem with the tabletop game now a days is that GW's trying to soak you for larger and larger amounts of money for smaller and smaller numbers of actual models. Plus there's the problem that miniatures are a lot bulkier than cards.

A couple hours in, once you learn the way the game works, you die a lot less.

I mean, you still die a lot, but y'know, less.

[Vinylshadow]

Never got into games like that, although I do enjoy pre-God-Card Yu-Gi-Oh

I preferred games like Pokemon and Golden Sun

I like games with a good story behind 'em

That, and I have quite a few Star Wars games...I do believe I listed them a while back

[Guest]

Not sure I'd list pokemon as a game with a good story. Really almost every game is interchangeable. The only one that's significantly different is Colosseum.

I have not met a single person who played Pokemon for the story.

Same thing's true of Zelda, and people just love that (objectively mediocre) franchise for some goddamn reason

[Vinylshadow]

Gameplay is interchangeable, I think the stories vary enough from game to game to remain interesting

Although Team Flare's story has so many holes in it, it doesn't hold together at all

Where did they capture AZ? Where did they find Xernas/Yveltal? It just seemed rather abrupt

AZ's story and the Mega Evolution plotlines were a lot better

I really hope they bring back Shadow Pokemon, they left a lot of unused potential with that, and who doesn't love Miror B?

Especially given the way Emile voiced him in his Colosseum and Gale of Darkness Let's Plays


CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE JUST MET SOMEONE THAT PLAYS POKEMON FOR THE STORY, ME

Given with how crash-prone RD is, a horned helmet seems the best choice...

Okami is the best Legend of Zelda. The sequel Darksiders is a lot worse. I'm not really a fan of legend of Zelda, the only thing I know about them is what I know about the Mario games. "Princess kidnapped go!"

If the gameplay is fun though I don't really care about story. I can skip the shit out of cutscenes.

He looks like him. He's got the receding hairline and the glasses.

I saw a twitter post a few days that said Chell was a positive and interesting female character. Am I alone in disagreeing with the idea Chell was interesting?

Glad0s yeah, no question she's interesting. What does Chell do or say in either Portal or it's sequel that makes her interesting?

[Vinylshadow]

Yeah, Chell's got all the charm of...well...a potato

She's not bad on the eyes, but for all we know, she's like how Dorkly portrayed Gordon Freeman

Yeah, it's kinda hard to be an interesting protagonist male or female in a linear game with no dialogue choices and the protagonist is silent. Maybe that's the fun of it, overlaying your own motivations onto the character, is Gordon Freeman all dedicated to overthrowing the combine or does he just want shoot combine and blow shit up?

[Vinylshadow]

I'm starting to think of Ross Scott's Gordon Freeman as being canon...

At least up until he loses his memory and becomes a drug addict

[Tytan]

Well here's the thing about Gordon Freeman and Chell. Neither of them has an actual personality. But what they DO have is characters who do. And when they act upon Gordon or Chell, even though they don't react, they form a kind of negative space personality.

HL2 is the better example. Especially when you think about all the times the other characters talk about the things they've done with Gordon. The thing I think about that exemplifies it the most is when Alex tells you the story of how Barney and Gordon would race to break into an office. Gordon says nothing but you learn about what kind of man he is.

I don't see how a player character we know nothing about and that doesn't speak can be interesting... 

Because, correct me if I am wrong, nothing is ever really stated about Chell other than she is a subject at Aperture Science and her actions are purely dictated by the person controlling her.

[Vinylshadow]

He shared a friendly rivalry with Barney
