Massive fucking to me - GFWL was a crash-happy resource-hog on my machine. They'll still use Steam, but at least it's something. At the very least we should be able to use custom banners/art etc. again in future DoW's.

Relic is pretty

You hear about one of their lead designers sacrificing himself for his pregnant wife? Drugged up kiddies in an SUV swerving into his lane, and the only thing he could do was turn so that his side of the car got the brunt of the impact.

I'm still dubious that that was intentional on his part. Accidents like that happen so suddenly and so quickly that you don't have time to think about anything: all you can do is react. Saying it was heroic implies that he understood what was happening, recognized his options, and decided to sacrifice himself to save his wife. Shit just happens way too fast to do that.

Your perpetual butthurt over SMA is amusing, kingcomrade. Fallen for one trap too many?

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

I've started to tune him out. I liked pre-absence kc a lot better than new kc.

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

You honestly can't blame this one on me.

 

[Archibald]

Good ridance. Why it was used, or created for that matter, at all i can`t understand.

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

Non?

1. SMA appears
2. Thread is about SMA

You are like uncovered meat to the dogs of the codex.

I made an on-topic post though. It's KC that fucked this thread, not me.

Referring to SMA as "it" is p. rude.

 

[CrimHead]

SMA. This was a an intervention thread disguised as a thread about DoW. It's time to stop. This is getting ridiculous.

Okey, so he reacted instinctively without thinking and his actions were to shield his wife. Why the fuck wouldn't you call that heroic I don't understand.

Well, this was an unexpected

No. No. No! You're not even intentionally telling a lie are you? You just have no fucking clue.

 

[racofer]

This thread is now about SMA.
On the Codex there's much transsexualism.

Time for me to stop posting or what? Since it had already been brought up, I wanted to talk about the relic designer who was killed in the car crash. It's you assholes that insist on making the thread about me.

 

[ScottishMartialArts]

Naw', s/he's arguing that the dude instinctively swerved, and it just happened to expose one side of the car rather than the other.

That's my take, yeah. Heroism, in my view, isn't something that happens by accident. It requires intention, recognizing the danger but deciding to go for it anyway because it's the right thing to do. Now I'm sure this designer was a good guy, and had he had time to think about, I'm sure he would've sacrificed himself to save his wife. If this accident was like most such accidents, however, there wouldn't have been time to think, just a half second or so of "Oh SHIT!" Under those circumstances, I wouldn't call it a heroic sacrifice. Of course, I didn't see the accident and maybe he saw it coming from a long way off and had time to think, but that would be a pretty unusual accident. Meh, just my take on the matter.

that mean's you'll have to buy their average games to play them online whereas before you could play any gfwl title online with a single cdkey from any other gfwl title.

Space Marines don't think. They are heroes by nature and by instinct.

 

[ComradeCommissar]

Thank the fucking Gods. GFWL did nothing but slow down things that would've ran perfectly fine otherwise.

 

[Destroid]

So what are they using for a matchmaker now? Glad to see GFWL and truskill go because those were shit.

 

[Topher]

Now they just need to get rid of steam.

No, that's just common sense that someone can't run through moral options in their head at less than a second's notice.

edit: hey look a bandwagon butthurt cascade, this seems logical because it's insulting a tranny
