Now Playing Tracks

gamersagainstbigotry:

This week GAB are looking at the benefits of gaming. We’ve almost drowned ourselves in discussing race and geek girls - and it’s high time we had a nice break to feel warm and fuzzy.

Lets remind ourselves of not only why we love gaming, but why it can be good for us.

We’ll be posting and linking things like the one above (source: http://visual.ly/gaming-good-you) here, and on our Twitter, Facebook & Website.
And you can share your questions and stories with us by dropping us an Ask.

Merry Gaming :)

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING GUARDSMAN.

He’s spent months fighting a grueling war in which his enemies are demigods allied with daemons, and now he’s found himself in the closest thing to Hell he’s ever known. He probably wasn’t even supposed to get teleported up to the arch-traitor’s battle barge in the first place, and just ended up in the wrong place at the worst possible time.

Somehow he’s survived horrors beyond comprehension to make his way to the very bridge of Horus’ flagship. He saw a veritable angel and primarch call upon Horus to answer for his crimes, and he saw that angel die as messily as any guardsman. His Emperor - who he fervently believes is a god incarnate, even if he’s not supposed to - lies mortally wounded, and Horus, perhaps, has taken a moment to gloat before he strikes the killing blow.

His armor is slightly more effective than tissue paper, his weapon is slightly more powerful than a flashlight, and Horus’ power claw is bigger than his entire body. He stands before a being infused by the dark gods’ with incalculable power, that can and will obliterate his soul with no more effort than it would take him to swat a gnat. Nothing he can do could possibly make a difference.

He could run. He could turn his weapon on himself. He could give in to the insidious whispers that echo from the ship’s corridors into his mind.

Ollanius Pius does the duty his Emperor requires of him. He dies standing and holds the fucking line.

This is why I love the Imperial Guard and 40K. Yeah Space Marines are cool, but the Imperial Guard is about men facing the worst that the universe can throw at them. Some times they are successful some times they are not. But they still try to do their job, and hold the line.

Ollanius Pius, I tip my hat to you, good sir.

To Lust For Death

caffine-addict:

Upon finding herself sitting upon the ground, the young women laughed. She laughed as venomous words were spat at her at such a volume any lesser being would cower in fear. But the redhead felt no fear, even as the thin man roared and raved. She did not flinch as broken glass filled the room and the wisps of wind curled through her hair. She laughed for no fear resided in her tricky little heart for its blackened crust let no dark emotions break though, only laughter and seductive smiles were there to show. At Victus’ threatening command her laughter died down to chuckles then subsided to an unthreatened smirk. 

She stood, approaching him with slow deliberate steps. “My reach extends just as far and further then your little fingers’ grip. My reach is intertwined with yours. In every heart of your precious army and your precious worlds lies my most hardened grip.  Every armada and soldier in your control is mine to hold. I can walk through your ranks and only your gun would turn on me.” She slipped into a grin, crazed and ecstatic. “You want me to be witty? Try this on for size.” The whore slipped around his gun and pressed against his chest. “You will never find me unless I allow myself to be found. When you see my shadow cross yours as you walk home, you better worry what I have waiting for you at home. And when you find me sitting on your desk swinging handcuffs around my finger, asking you to tie me up and drag me away, you better worry.” Wind whipped red tendrils into her face, catching on her eyelashes and sticking to her twisted red lips. “You’re never going to find me. Never.” She lifted herself onto her toes, lips just inches from his ear. “Unless I want you to find me.” With a giggle, she pulled back swiftly, landing a perfect little kiss on his clean shaven cheek. She backed away toward the window, fiery locks flowing in the wind as she observed the bright red lipstick kiss she had left on the inquisitors cheek. The seductress smiled, “I hope that burns.”

And the red lipstick on his cheek did begin to burn. Poison. Victus should have expected that. In fact, he did expect that.

“You bitch.” he reached up and grabbed his cheek, but the sights of his gun never left the mark between her eyes. “Nice try. I’ve had worse, but this should be a nice reminder to why I won’t let you live.” His grip tightened around the metal handle. He began to slowly squeeze the trigger as the burning sensation started increasing.

“What the he-?” a searing pain appeared in his cheek, forcing him down to one knee as steam started emanating from the lipstick. It felt as if he was being branded. The handgun fell out of his hands and onto the floor as he rammed his fist into the ground, trying to take his mind away from the pain. The carpet ripped and the concrete below it began to crumble under the force. Victus felt as if he had been shot as the room’s colors seemed much brighter. He closed his eyes and groaned, focusing on suppressing the intense pain. He pushed himself up from one knee and grabbed the gun, letting go of his hand on the cheek, fire in his eyes, a death-stare locked onto the woman. He checked his reflection in the gleaming silver light of the gun. There was a burn-scar on his cheek, clearly visible, his skin still pink and tender from the poisonous kiss. His gaze went back up to her.

“I swear to the Twins, I will not you let you live. I will make it my job to kill you. Slowly, painfully, after a Class-O Interrogation. You will not survive.” He hissed at her, teeth still gritting as the pain began to subside. She was going to escape him in this encounter, without a doubt, but next time…

Now where the hell is my backup?
