yeah I agree... ^

this is awesome

[Ironmonger]

Amazingly, despite all the constant references to warhammer, the only thing I've picked up on is that it involves guys that look like starcraft marines, only in yellow instead of blue.

I think you mean these guys, the Imperial Fists. There's a lot of others out there but most of what I see as a 40K fan are Ultramarines and Fists. Technically, the Starcraft Marines look like the Space Marines. That is if what I keep hearing about the origins of SC are true.

and your space marines are still anatomically impossible

Quiddit.

We've discussed this. The Emperor did it.

Google image search for "Starcraft Marine".
They all just look like pallet swaps, though.

The point still stands. The running story, as I've heard it, is that Blizzard at one point had a partnership with Games Workshop to make a Warhammer 40K game. GW backed off like a little bitch and Blizzard was left with a project they couldn't finish, so they salvaged it. Thus we have marine an Nid rip-offs prancing about like no care in the world. Whether this is actually true I don't have a clue but I don't really care enough (or have the time) to go searching around myself. 1)Warhammer 40K predates Starcraft by around 30 years. 2) For the sake of production they all use the same armor with some variations among them due to customization (like artificer armor), of course they all look like pallet swaps. I should also add that usually if you search anything with "marine" in it you will at one point or another run into Warhammer stuff.

@Kipper
That actually looks pretty cool!
In unrelated news, I had a bit of a wuss moment. The balefire tornado sirens were tested while I was asleep and I shot awake. Those things scare the ever-loving shit out of me.

Er... if you search "marine", you typically run into marine stuff. I mean, I guess EVENTUALLY you'll run into warhammer stuff, but that's like saying if you search "marshmallow" you'll eventually run into Rarity stuff.

Guys, guys: dunno if you've seen but: Explanation to Pinkie.

Also, I still have to say I get a bit "bleh" whenever a everything is eaten by a discussion.

New game on TVTropes:
Find a trope that sounds like it was in Fallout Equestria or a side story. Go down to all the examples and open up the FanFiction tab. See if Fallout Equestria is there.

For example:
Despair Event Horizon: The line where the hero falls into darkness to become a villain, but normally the hero only gets dangerously close to this line.
Fallout Equestria is the first example in the FanFic tab.

This is actually a game? What page did you hear this on?

[CamoBadger]

I just made it up, it's not an official game from the site.

[Ironmonger]

Ah. Unrelated, but I found this in my watch messages on DA. The first thing going through my head when I saw the expression was the shopkeep's voice saying "What now, bitch?"

spoiler because huge image:

[CamoBadger]

Found another.

Second Love: The hero hooks up with someone new because the first person they tried to get with didn't work out for one reason or another.
Way too obvious in FoE.
Also lines up with Incompatible Orientation. Again, obvious

[Ironmonger]

Looked under Handcannon, hoping to find something. Maybe Folly or Reggie's 5.56 pistols. Found nothing.
My reaction when

[CamoBadger]

Oh come on! How is Glory NOT under 'Break the Cutie'?!

[Kippershy]

Who did the emporer? Anatomically impossible

If what a friend told me is true, the emperor used Chaos powers to build the template for the space marines. As for the emperor himself, he was born out of millions of psyker souls all doing a mass suicide and being reborn into a single body all at once - due to the fact that chaos demons were eating them as they entered the warp realm to be reborn. One by one they were dying out as they were, unable to be reborn. However, all as one they managed to create a purifying power of pure light and managed to be reborn.

The emperor is immortal and all powerful.

[Valikdu]

Fun fact: Raveners (these creatures that look like SC Hydralisks) were added to the Tyranid army after the release of Starcraft.

Problem? :D

[Frost]

The Emperor's origins are unknown, the mass suicide theory is just one of several.

He is extremely powerful, but not all-powerful

I've done this before, actually. I usually don't find it in most(like the Artificial Limbs page) but I smile when I do.

I'm going to see them in concert in April.

[IncoherentOrange]

It's fun to see examples of things you're interested in on TVT. It's one of the most powerful ways it sucks your time ('Oh, I wonder what tropes this *insert media* has!') It must feel pretty cool to see something you've made have a page on it.

[Harmony Ltd.]

I don't know how I'd react if something I made ended up having a page on TVTropes.

I think I'd be more amused at nerds misinterpreting the meaning(s) of what I wrote, most probably.

(this is where I state my negative opinion of TVTrope)
