So my computer has a virus.

Or ten!

Seriously, 10. I was like: "what? Oh, just crap in the recycling bin and a game I downloaded."

Did I mention it was one of them indie freeware games? Awesome indie freeware games. Gotta play more!!!

In other news: Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War II looks awesome. It's like Dawn of War I, but it isn't!

I never played DoW I, just going by what I hear. Apparently Relic (developer) got rid of base building (angering many) and focused more on squads and tactics (making some people happy). The best comparison I have heard is that it's like:

Myth. That computer game. Err...trilogy of games. Where you get a squad, and you have to kill...things. Replace things with "other squads" in multiplayer. There are reinforcements, by the by.

If you REALLY want a comparison, it's like "Company of Heroes," another game I never played.


About Warhammer 40K, I never got into it. Sure, I spent 363 dollars on the Tyranid Army Deal a few years ago, and I never really expanded it, and the only time I ever played I got brutally murdered because of gawd damn weapons THAT IGNORE GAWD DAMN ARMOR SAVES THEREBY TOTALLY BREAKING MY ARMY INTO NOTHING.

AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THE TYRANID INFANTY HAVE A SHIT ARMOR SAVE, +5, YOU NEED TO ROLL A 5+ TO NOT GET KILLED. OH WHAT THE FUCK?!

Of course, this is in a sense counter-balanced due to the "without numbers rule", where you can pretty much load the table with Tyranid infantry without penalty. Of course, I never had that much infantry...

Oh, and the price point. 50 dollars for a miniature. Seriously. If I had the money.

And the dedication.

It would've been awesome.


THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS: Dawn of War II has Tyranids, and it is more "action" oriented (it is real-time).

And they can jump.

Far.

Into Space Marines.

It's fun.
