Get the warhammer mug.Warhammer is a table-top miniatures game created by Games Workshop. It is split into three different games:
Warhammer Fantasy - Orcs, Goblins, Knights, etc
Warhamer 40,000 (40k) - Aliens, humans, guns, etc
Lord of the Rings - Based on the books by JRR Tolkien.
The player builds an army of whatever he wants, glues them together, and paints them, then plays games with them.
The game itself is very simple to understand, but also very complex. Games can last hours and are very fun to play.
Painting an army can take a long time or a short time, depending how much effort you put into it. Although some people finding painting a burden, to me painting is half the fun of the hobby.
Warhammer is somewhat overpriced. However it is not just the plastic/metal soldier you pay for, but also the hours of enjoyment you get from it by painting and playing with it. This makes it worthwhile.

A game that attracts new MMO players and old ones alike, mostly because of it's vastly superior PvP to games such as WoW (not to bash on WoW, I played that too for awhile)
Because of this gamer melting pot, the chat on non-RP servers generally consists of a WoW fanboy trolling the WAR fanboys or people bitching about the latest patches. Common complaints:
"Dude they totally nerfed all AoE with that patch, WTF"
"HURR WARCRAFT IZ BETTUR"
"Shadow Warrior sucks lolololol"
"You rolled a Black Ork? HAR HAR U IS A NOOB"

*Melee DPS with a good healer gets a few kills in open RvR*
Guy who just pwned some noobs: "Woo, man, I love Marauders!"
Guy in regional chat: "wat u rolled a mara wat r u a faggot"
Marauder: "At least I'm not a tank-loving homo like yourself."
Harasser: "go back to wow, warhammer online isn't for fags liek u"
*shitstorm that lasts at least a half an hour begins*

Get the Golden Warhammer mug.A very fun table-top strategy game involving miniature that the player collects and paints. While it may be a bit overpriced, Games Workshop is only raising prices like any other company would. It's called supply and demand. As the demand for warhammer goes up, and the supply needs to be raised to keep up with the soaring demand, prices are going to be raised, naturally. What with inflation and all, this is to be expected. If the demand drops for some reason, obviously the price will drop as well. I swear, if everyone in the world were forced to take an Economics 101 class, half the world's problems would be solved. Anyways, despite some people's assessments of the game, it is not "simple" by any stretch of the imagination. Having rules that are not too complex, for both versions of the game, prevents arguements over rules and lets players get to the important part: the game. Despite having fairly easy to understand rules, the game's strategies and tactics can be as deep, complex, and cunning or as simple, unthought out, and easy as you like. And, as I said earlier, though the game is fairly expensive, it is one of the most rewarding gaming experiences, since you have to take the time to raise the cash, buy the models, assemble them (converting as desired), and paint them all uniquely. In a nerdy sort of way, your army is an extension of yourself and your personality on the tabletop. In short: This game rocks!
