"Maleficent Vagenda" - my new Disney-themed death metal band.

Not if Dennis can help it.

Or Randy Quaid.

What's with all the cryptocartographomania in GJI lately?

This was exactly my thought process.

SOLD.

A Walter/Denethor (Walternethor?) would literally rule - a stentorian, witheringly cruel father figure that occasionally can be caught doing bong hits with the comic relief sidekick.

Meryl Streep as Wonder Woman: sure, why not?

"Astro-Force fired from the harness of Orion. He's watched Omega Beams glitter in the dark by the Boom Tube."

It seems to me a difference of quality control. Somehow Marvel Studios has maintained enough authority to be able to retain a crucial amount of source integrity, as well as having a clear vision of what they want Marvel movies to be. WB/DC, on the other hand, seems to be just run by the same cynical marketing forces…

Hah! I've pretty much built Character Creation Remorse Syndrome into any CRPG I play anymore - instead of agonizing over initial character creation, I just wing it and pick things that look fun, and know that I'm just going to stop a quarter of the way through and restart with the real party. (Unless it's a…

I had lots of games lined up for the holiday…but nearly on a whim, I installed, patched, and modded up Temple of Elemental Evil (w/ Circle of 8 Modpack). By far the best combat in a D&D CRPG ever, unfortunately marred by awful bugs and possibly the worst storyline and fetch-quests in a D&D RPG ever, ToEE has been…

Holy crap. They've finally done it: a CLARPG!
Just the fact that you can have disagreements that need adjudication is turning me into a puddle.

I watched a LP of D:OS the other day, and everything about it looked like the insanely perfect marriage of old-school and new-school RPGs. I am also super-curious about how the co-op experience goes down, especially seeing as how they've built in role-playing dialogue (what. are you f'ing kidding me) into the…

Another World will always have a timeless quality from its uniquely cinematic mimesis; the first stage of the game is just a masterpiece, weaving storytelling, visuals, and gameplay together into a seamless mood of pure discovery. But then the puzzlyness and unforgiving timing (difficult even in an era of high…

Actual Cajuns hate New Orleans. They think it's a den of sin, violence, and Negroes.
(Our free alternative weekly is called The Gambit, justsosyaknow.)

Oh, well…just walk away from it then, concentrate on finding stuff you both like, and maybe she'll come to it on her own.

Whoops! I actually meant 3, I've edited my comment. That was a total brainfart.

Great observation - they're both hardened men trying to harden themselves further, but something about their natures just won't let them take the next step to becoming truly calloused. Their hearts keep tripping them up.

That is just what I wanted, and just what made the most sense for weaving together all the work the show had put in - and for once, I would have appreciated not having my expectations yanked away like a football.
