More Ponies and Marines

So, basically this is the greatest picture ever made.

Currently, FiM is cementing itself in my mind as one of the best cartoons of at least this past decade. Characters are distinct, the stories are self-contained, which is a boon for the young audience it's developed for, and there are subtle jokes and easter eggs to find as an adult for it. Essentially, whenever it becomes the case that I have children, they're watching this. It goes about social situations without beating us over the head about what's happening, and some of the puns are actually pretty funny at times. Hell, episode 12 - which I'm watching right now - is about self-actualization and finding what is significant about oneself.

Woot, ponies!

Now, for Space Marine's multiplayer. Oh, boy, am I annoyed about this right now. While we have been promised a patch soon, hopefully to give us a co-op campaign mode or something, even Last Stand would be awesome at this point, multiplayer has some glaring issues that really have to be addressed. They are as follows:

Assault Marine
Needs more defensive buffs.
Thunderhammer and Poweraxe pale in comparison to the fully-upgraded chainsword.
Again, dies too easily.

Tactical Marine
Longer cooldown for the troll roll. Assault marines can't keep up with that shit.
Meltagun needs more consistent damage, and a longer overall cooldown between blasts.
From what I understand, the Vengeance Launcher is relatively bad for a main weapon.

Devatastor
Too damn hard to kill with the appropriate perks.
Why is it the case that the Heavy Bolter, the weaker of their available weapons, must set up to fire for full effect, yet the superior Plasma cannon and Lascannon don't?

So really, overall this game will desperately need an update that ought to tone down the damage of weapons across the board, and give defensive buffs/extra hp to all marines involved. That way, it will be closer to the UT experience, and we won't bloody die too easily! I understand that the Plasma cannon is str 7 ap 2, but it's a flaming videogame, and the best Warhammer 40,000 gaming experience that's ever been done!

:P no hyperbole there, i've played the games

Still failboating on my Wheel of Time translation. I'll try to get up to snuff on that, but this past week has been full of tests and papers.
