In a few years from now, when the big publishers only release turn-based RPGs, wargames, flight sims and adventure games, a small number of intrepid developers will go to kickstarter with the promise to bring back the story-driven shooters and pseudo-RPGs from the golden age of popamole.

Well, at least he has most of his unfunny schtick contained in the beginning and the end of the review, so you can just watch the middle part.

Unofficial Minecraft convention disappears with the money
Mineorama, the Minecraft convention scheduled to take place in mid-July that was canceled at the last minute—and with more than $500,000 spent on advance tickets—insisted that it was "not a scam," and that another event would be scheduled to take its place. But many ticket buyers worried that they had indeed been conned, and it's starting to look very much like that's exactly what has happened.
The whole Mineorama situation looked dodgy from the moment organizers announced, "with deep regret," that the event had been postponed and that refunds wouldn't be offered. The sheer amount of money on the table made the likelihood of a scam an alarming prospect, and while the people behind it promised that they were "sincerely attempting to make this right," as Kotaku has noticed, it seems that what they've really done is take a powder.
The Mineorama website has been suspended by its hosting company, while the Mineorama Twitter account has been taken over by a "16 year old kid" who's spent the past few days using it to ridicule the "real" Mineorama. He acknowledged that he'll likely be forced to return the account to the legitimate owners if they request it, but as of roughly 30 minutes ago that hasn't happened.
I suppose it's possible that the rescheduled event could still take place, and that organizers are simply working so hard to make it happen that they just haven't noticed their website and Twitter account have both stopped working. But at this stage, as much as I hate to say it, it doesn't look very likely; Kotaku spoke to one person who was able to get a refund from his financial institution and another who's working on it, and neither had heard a thing from anyone at Mineorama. Mineorama "Executive Producer" Lou Gasco, meanwhile, hasn't tweeted since July 8, when he promised that all questions would be answered on a forthcoming Twitch livestream. That, of course, hasn't happened either.
Why am I not surprised this occurred?

Yes. As part of the Bro Team Pill canon, I died of dog AIDS.

Well this video pretty much answers the question on why GW went full retardo and is going bankrupt. Sad that the franchise has to die, maybe Disney will pick it up and improve it like they are going to do with Star Wars.

I'm more annoyed at the fact that whenever a steam sale or new ubisoft game comes out I have to sift through fucking dozens of posts bitching about how the PC ports are shit, can't be downloaded properly or at any reasonable speed, and all the other shit Ubisoft are crap at when working the PC market.
It also is hilarious that they keep putting these press posts out there when it's obvious to anyone that they are totally shit at porting so should just give up at this point. Would it really kill anyone if they couldn't play the latest popamole Far Cry game or embarassing Splinter Cell bastardization?

It's the name of the book of rules for your chosen space marine team.
LotD has its own codex? What's next, Codex: Sons of Malice?
Actually, that would be fine.
I like the flames painted on the gun. If I didn't know better, I'd think it was parody.
