As much as it pains me to do this to a game from a studio I respect and an IP I love, this one is getting torrented. Publishers have got to stop doing this, because I would happily give them my money if they didn't take every chance to bend me over and **** me for living where I do.
Oh wow, so GAME basically threatened Valve they wouldn't sell the hard copies of the game if it was on steam, fucking brilliant. I guess I'll have to get someone from the US to gift me it -.-

For example, after reading through a few books, I decided to take it upon myself to drink a shot of beer, yes... a shot of beer, every time I saw the action verb "smash" or "smashed" or "smashing". Do you know how drunk I got and how much money I wasted on 24 packs of beer?
Their books LITERALLY instilled in me an instinctive cringe every time I read the word smash in a sentence of a book or any written piece of literature.
That's f***ing hillarious... and I could totally see that, even though the closest thing i ever came to reading a 40k book was to read the horus heresy on the Lexicanum for the lolz.
Hey, did you actually buy Space Marine :D:D:D:D:D????????

I bought it from Gamer's Gate I think they'll give me a code that works in steam too when the game is out.
I spent two days playing the demo over and over and over again . Can't wait for the release! TotalBiscuit totally walked by the power axe and didn't execute a nob (you have to press e, and then tap the left mouse button to struggle with it, when you win, you get an awesome animation and put the Nob down).
I'm looking for a person currently living in the US, to perhaps pick a bestbuy order up for me, and send to Sweden. Anyone interested? I really want the bestbuy pre-order bonuses, but they don't ship outside the US :<

A) some no name chapter B) Ultramarines...
What are dark angels, imperial fist and that white and red chapter (forgot name, played when I was a teen.)
It has alot to do with the lore. There are WELL OVER 150 WH40k books out for sale, and they each have a story about some Guardsmen Unit, or Inquistor, or Chapter. I mean hell, i leanred about: The Grey Knights, Space Wolfs, Dark Angels, Imperial Fists, Salamanders, Blood Angels, Ultramarines, Soul Drinkers, Thousand Fists, Sons of Horus, etc etc etc, all from the books. And Relic knows that, so they give some credit to the smaller scale chapters instead of the powerhouses like: the Ultramarines, Space Wolves, Blood Ravens, etc. (the white and red chapter is either White Scars or Blood angels if iirc)

To be fair, chapters/craftworlds/whatever's position in the galaxy is supposed to matter aswell. Also GW can't afford to let relic writers modify the fluff of their big trademarks, they would either have to step in with every line of the story or face hordes of rioting fans.

Not that I wouldn't have tried Space Marines anyway, yet the preview by him made it almost impossible for me not to get it. I think I've watched the video like 3 times by now and it still makes me smile :>
