Consumed, as I am, by 40k fever I wheeled over to tvtropes and checked out ...
a trope list that is unbelievably long.
As long as I can laugh about this sort of thing, I think I'm doing okay. The minute I push my glasses up and start a sentence with the word "Actually" then it is time for me to go on a gaming retreaton a peaceful beach somewhere, far from the grimdark.
Oh, I apologize for committing the fifth sin of the internet: linking to tvtropes.
