It's lovely.
So StarCraft 2 stuff is out in Netland today. I'm kinda "meh" on StarCraft. See, I'm a Games Workshop guy and Blizzard pretty much took the 40K model, sorta stole it, and renamed everything. That irks me. Did then. Does now. The Zerg, well, those are the Tyranids. The marines? Yep, Space Marines of 40K. The Protoss...ok the Protoss are sorta weird and I dunno what 40K race they'd be.I'm getting my sci-fi RTS kicks with Soulstorm right now which is a drastically overpriced expansion to Dawn of War. Go THQ! Milk it, baby! Milk it! 2 races, some flier units and pretty much the same campaign? And still no Tyranids!? For $40?
Other than that, not much going on, other than the fact that I'm finally going to buy a PS3. At least it's a tax write off.

It's a tax write off, but only for a certain percentage.
I love StarCraft, but I also love 40k. You bought the Dawn of War expansion even after THQ dissolved Iron Lore after they were finished with it?
After 12 years of this, I got the tax thing down.
Anyway I'm reviewing Soulstorm via a previous obligation with Crispy Gamer.
THQ didn't "dissolve" anyone. Iron Lore couldn't find future projects to fund the company. Even if THQ did, would I be sticking it to the man by boycotting a game I wanted to play?
Teach me the way of the tax Sensei!
Sorry I worded the Iron Lore situation poorly. To be honest I only knew they closed shop, so sorry for the misconception of what actually happened.
Iron Lore was still an indy developer, even though they had worked with THQ on Titan Quest and DoW, but they had no more projects, and a developer w/o a project...is in trouble.
I wish IL could have had the time and $$ to make Soulstorm a better game because this isn't worth 40 bucks.
