A complaint about word usage...

It seems that recently highly charged adjectives such as 'awesome', 'stupendous' and even 'fabulous' are being bandied about on this forum to describe any old thing that faintly stirs one's interests.

From now on, before using such strong language I ask you to consider the following video before employing such language. I move to make the following the benchmark of what is awesome and fabulous. If your post/pic/link does not measure up, then please refrain from using such loaded terms and employ something more appropriate, such as 'rather nice', 'quite pleasant', or a simple 'good'.

Anyway, without further ado, I present to you a new benchmark in AAAAAAWWWEEEESSSSOOOOMMMMEEE!!!!

Spoiler alert (Roll over to read)....

My favorite bit is when the Land Raider is nearly immobilized on the corpses of the Orks, but then the Power of the machine spirit saves the day and the raider bursts free.

That was ok I guess. Whilst driving a Land Raider all over a bunch of Xenos is cool, the fact that the creator stuck assault cannons onto a standard Land Raider really ruined it for me. Only Crusaders and Redeemers can have assault cannons!

Nice find MtP. :D

Incredilble! Tremendous find Mike!

But there may be some poor kid who didn't get to play with his legos while his dad worked out his gaming fantasies.

You could be onto something here. In all the years I used lego as a child I never once saw a miscast piece or a bent bit. There was never a need for Liquid Lego Stuff! Lets here it for Lego!!!

Beautiful! It's even the right size :) as for the assault cannons, it's clearly a custom jobbie. The techmarine's been muckin' about down the manufactorum, obviously :)
