Also: "I don't have time to watch a 20min video." Four 6min videos? "Count me in!"
I've never had anything related to WH40K.
I've never played a game in the WH40K universe.
I have watched a 30 hour video series on The God Emperor.
Other 8-20 hour videos explaining the basic lore on each faction.
And two video series that are probably 50+ hours, about the history of the WH40K universe overall.
And apparently, I have still only scratched the surface.
Do I have any intention of playing WH40K games or buying anything related to it?
Nope, none what so ever.
Am I likely to watch any more content related to WH40K?
Yes, in fact, I have about 500 hours worth of videos in a playlist to watch later.
Hey man identity theft isn't cool. Imma need you to stop being me
40k lore is awesome because it's completely ridiculous in so many ways, but at the same time completely realistic in many other ways.
There's so much for WH40K!
I tried to dip my toe into it, but got overwhelmed about where to start.
One reason I avoid WH40K is I'm scared I'll fall into a black hole of fandom and never be seen again.
Consume the biomass; become the biomass
Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!
FOR THE EMPOREEEEEEEEEER
That would be me. Give me a month of it, and I'll be up at one of those game shops painting minis every weekend.
That sounds nice though. Expensive but nice.
I really fucking hope Henry Cavill gets to make the WH40K series and the right way.
Share??? I've also got no interest in playing but want to explore the lore :D
I mean, it’s brilliant!

Looking at you summoningsalt
I didn't expect to be attacked today. Some games I don't like the game play but the lore is fire
I watch reviews for old games I already know a lot about, just to hear the stupid hot takes modern gamers who weren't even alive at the time the game they're playing was released have about games that were awesome in their own time that may not have held up to today's standards.
Like all the dudes that wonder how Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are considered good when something from 2019 is so much better. lol
They don't appreciate the technical leaps either. DOOM was mind-boggling ahead of it's time and Carmack is an absolute genius but kids these days couldn't care less.
Eve Online.
That is the perfect example, lol
Let's be real, no one actually ever finished Outer Wilds.
You didn't have to call me out like that
Speak for yourself! I couldn't get enough of that game, got %100 on it and restarted it to complete it again (although I don't think I got every log the second time around)
You beat Myst without taking any notes too didn't you? 😝
Lol, now that's one I never got around to beating xD
It certainly helps that TV is garbage these days.
I think it's just a problem of quantity over quality because the streaming era has flooded the market with so much filler just to justify their overpriced subscriptions, but there's still a handful of awesome stuff if you want to take the time to sift through the garbage to find it. Fargo is pretty good if you liked the movies. Mr. Robot was great. The first season of True Detective was excellent, and season 4 with Jodie Foster comes out in January.
Hopefully now that the writers are going back to work with better contracts, things will start to turn around.
I really don't watch TV shows or movies much anymore, just long form content from YouTube. Give me a few one hour videos on retro computers and am golden.
Let's be honest, TV shows and movies nowadays are dogshit storywise. Video games have way better stories because they actually have to engage the audience to want to discover it. TV shows just need to grab attention for a season, get cancelled and move on to the next season long trailer.
Mass Effect made a game with a Sci-Fi story better than any Sci-Fi show that has come out since then. WarHammer 40k did a pretty good job too.
The expanse is pretty good. I'd say at least as good as mass effect.
Because the expanse is a book that was adapted into a show
Well til
Even better, the authors of the books were actively involved in writing the TV show. That's why it's so great.
Fun fact: for the show they hired an actual linguist to develop the langbelta more. So the show actually has a better conlang than the books.
That's what I came here for to say. It's not our fault that most TV shows and movies suck ass.
i feel personally attacked
There's ironically less commitment. No need to worry about missing something crucial by looking away, no struggle to stay engaged with the plot.
This post is just an ad for vaatividya isn't it!?
I often watch his videos to go to sleep. Although I do actually play all those games.
I love watching Rust videos but hate playing FPS.
Yes, I too love RetroAhoy
Maybe TV shows need to be more interesting than a 3 hour gaming video.
See any of the noclip documentaries.
I watched a 4 hour movie made from MK1 cut scenes the other day without even realizing how long it was.
Damn you Pyrocynical
ND is a hell of a drug
Not me. I absolutely hate watching videos of people playing video games. It’s mind-numbing.
I think OP is talking about the kind of lore deep dive videos, not necessarily the normal gameplay "Let's Play" style videos.
Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
