I might get some guardians for a buck though. <br /><br />I'm thinking about downloading blender and creating some space elf hoverboards. Than I can just print some out using shapeways.CaulynDarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556761303500891267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620538724364147334.post-18441377044120502912013-06-03T13:44:06.018-04:002013-06-03T13:44:06.018-04:00ah and I saw a sale on jetbikes:

I mean, Why should they design a top notch game when dodge Darts sell pretty well, the Dart is marked up to Alpha Romeo prices, and most gamers don't know the difference. The Dart works just fine for Beer an Pretzels.Farmpunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622091234212120598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620538724364147334.post-44922385543216244042013-06-03T11:13:33.743-04:002013-06-03T11:13:33.743-04:00I just don't know.

So it could be that they just don't know how the army works outside of the lol-sy beer & pretzels bubble the dev team seems to live in.<br /><br />It would be interesting to get a picture of what it's like internally right now at GW. Though it really doesn't matter. It's either a cooperate culture that despises competitive gaming or one that is overly rushed and sales driven. Regardless it leads to a poorly balanced rule set.<br /><br />I went digital. At least that way I get back-filled FAQ updates.CaulynDarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556761303500891267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620538724364147334.post-87451879513838685722013-06-03T10:40:40.009-04:002013-06-03T10:40:40.009-04:00It really seems like a lazy rush job to support a ...It really seems like a lazy rush job to support a quick cash grab.
