This is rather an unusual topic, but really fun to re... well, look at more than read.

What's the last shot from?

[Venice Cull]

Cool!

Looking at those, I'll still say next to James Bond, the Master Chief is the coolest character ever to grace a FPS game, everyone else are mere pretenders. 'Greatest Ever Space Marine in a videogame' award goes to Mr Chief.

I'm not sure wether or not this is because you can actually SEE your character in Halo (in vehicles) whereas in most others you don't. We already KNOW what 'Bond' looks like, and we like him - so it worked well.

I'll leave that for the beard strokers and Pooles of the forum to work out.

In the meantime, and just for Bomber, lets hear it for Nintendo... yay!

Which one?

[IronChicken]

Pity none of them are actually Space Marines

Sad ?

I know.

So sad.

*shakes head*

A friend of mine plays with these. When I say friend I mean I met him once for a few seconds until he told me he was a war-gamer. I soon walked away.

I have the misfortune of having to catch a bus outside a Games Workshop.

All those overweight teenagers in greasy black T-shirts. Urghh

the one of mario with an erection (the GBA SP ad)?

Once, I met this chap who looked pretty similar to Phelan, actually it might've been him himself. He told me he liked videogames. I said "what are you, 6?" laughed in his face and then ran away.

Haha! It was great. Glad I didn't become friends with someone who likes something like videogames. Awful people they are.

[bomber]

No, this one.

[mr. fancypants]

I find it sad that people like you (videogame nerds) are slagging off wargamers. It's a hobby just as videogaming is.

[Jim Miles]

I used to really enjoy painting them. The games were quite good too but not as satisfying as painting them. I should do that again. No-one diss Citadel Miniatures! haha

[Venice Cull]

No, this one.

Ah! Of course. Nope, instead I'll taunt you with the shelf that sits above the very computer I'm typing on, you being a big Nintendophile and all, thought you might like my collection.

Mario lego from Hong Kong (along with the Hello kitty stuff I got in a market there), and 2 x Mario Kart 'Bit Char-G's (Yoshi and Mazza) from Japan, and Zelda, Mario and DK Pez dispensers from... can't remember.

[bomber]

Looking at that shelf it's clear you're the bigger Nintendophile.

Are those Spice Girls dolls on the top left?

[Phelan]

Geez, you post some subtle humour and everyone gets upset!

Twas a Jest. A Jape. A Pun.

[Venice Cull]

Do you know, I have no idea where they came from or what they are. They might be the Spice Girls I suppose. I much prefer the Sailor Moon ladies though.

Geez, you post some subtle humour and everyone gets upset!

Space Marines are TEH WIKKID!!!!111

When I gr0w up, I'll join the SPACE MARINES. I'll be a fuckin' SPACE GENERAL! I wanna FUCKING SHOOT THINGS!

And I'll be joining the Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six too. And Splinter Cell. And any other outfit that'll give me cool suits, wicked gadgets and big guns.

How can we forget the daddy of all space marines - who could have the 'Master Chief' with one arm tied behind his back?
