Necropolis was a good book. And I think the fact that the book about the fall of Calth basically is a copy of that style, shows how popular it was. (Also that to get quality into the Horus heresy, Abnett had to copy the style of one of his old books)

Gaunt's Ghosts should probably have stopped with the third book. But it went on for another three and another three. And some characters get killed off and others have their personal story arc resolved, because personal story arcs can only last so many books. And then the characters are no longer interesting and you read the books out of habit.

Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person Last 40K books I really enjoyed were the Calpurnia ones.

Abnett has that issue with every book series it seems. Even Gaunts Ghosts, if you ignore the characters who turn generic ****bags, everyone else turns generic awesome veteran guardsman

I managed to get through the zombie infected fishing village with two characters. It was one of the best done lovecraftian villages in any game. But the gameplay *shudder* The demon infected motel I never got past. Just couldn't force myself. If they turned it into a Netflix show, I'd watch it. -

Saints Row 2 had an interesting start with the jail break / trial. It really set up the Boss as a character. SR3's start was just over the top action without helping make you care for the characters. I went through the start because yay character creation with tons of options. Not because I cared. New SR I got a chuckle out of the future boss being just a ****y idiot basically. -

Saint's Row isn't a bad game. It just isn't Saint's Row. The boss is still a fun, homicidal maniac. The rest of the gang still is dull. Shaundy was no more special than Kev in the remake. -
If she hasn't played it yet, we know the bodysnatchers have invaded.

I was expecting you to try Little Kitty Big City or Ratopolis to be honest.

I wonder if modders will be able to add planets. Also, are those 1000 planets procedurally generated or where they generated then populated by hand with stuff? -
I just came on to check if you were doing your duty and informing people of the giveaway

Did you play in the time when orks had to roll for each mob before battle to see if they were sober enough to show up?

In the 80s Blood Axe Orks could get human mercenary mobs who were Imperial Guard units dressed up as mercenaries so the Imperium could deny involvement and the Orks wouldn't know they were being manipulated.
