Even so, this sentence makes me laugh more and more each time i read it.


Do you think this is how people responded when shakespear made up words? with sort of confusion despite kind of knowing what he meant, but over time they just got used to it and gave up trying not to use them.

I think that applies to having a conversation with anyone from the marketing department at work.
They speak in a combination of riddles, made up words and bullshit most of the time too.

Honey, did you see where I left the portal of skulls? I'm going out to see Jeff and Garry.

+ If you live in France or Italy they had a thousand words in English instead of the proper words.

Tbh the figures are growing on me, I got to see them in the flesh and I actually kind of liked them a lot more after that. I'm interested in seeing the fluff.

The Father of modern Marketing and Advertising was one Edward Bernays (no relation tot he sauce), who was a principle actor in the Wilson Administration's 'Creel Commission' that was responsible for creating propaganda to get the US into WWI.  His book after his time with Creel?  Propaganda.  Draw what conclusions you will....

That book was more or less observations on Propaganda. The science behind propaganda came of age near the end of WW2 when Governments and Armies actually began to make in depth studies of the effects of propaganda. None of which has ever been conclusive. Propaganda has only ever been noted as successful if the consumer already believes in the message it is attempting to convey.

Therefore in the case of AoS marketing I'd say its probably too early to say if its been successful. That said if gamers are anything to go buy, they'll flock to it after a good dose of criticism.

Heh, that reminds me of someone's signature over on the B&C forums:

"Epidemus, who, at the battle against Khorne, did righteously shift paradigms with the creation of a goal-oriented task force that successfully reallocated Khornate resources into Nurgle-driven benefits capable of sustaining them through the next fiscal quarter."

Makes me smile every time I see it!

Not seen a Downfall video for it yet 

[Vermis]

Here you go...

[The Voivod]

Here you go...

You know, this sounds bad, but I mostly agree with Hitler....

[FionaWhite]

It might be the fever talking but those 2 videos are the most Warhammer-related fun I've ever had.

Like Aelfs and Duardin, they are new GW IP-protected name for fantasy races that we've known for years!

Guess I should've known when "Aelf" came up... 

Looking forward to see what kind of a DLC-ridden mess Warhammer: Total War will be.

My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

Hmmm I hope the good modern out there stay true to the old world and don't make it age of Sigmar.
