The Vale was completely absent from the War of the Five Kings. They’re in a region that appears to be fairly affluent. I figure they’re a very large force relative to most of the other houses.

Still around, just $55. That’s what happens when Nike buys you out, I guess.

Hey everyone, nothing to worry about here. No one is discontinuing the old standby, this is just a fancified new model.

Man, how many times have I seen a police cruiser idling. Every time it feels like I’m standing on the edge of a great story and a criminal record.

I see my job as DM/GM is to put the players in interesting situations. It’s not antagonism if done right - I am 100% pulling for my PCs. That said, nothing introduces an interesting situation better than a mis-phrased Wish spell.

Last time I got to use a wish, we had a contract lawyer in the group playing a dwarven fighter. He took care of it perfectly and managed to dwarf it up at the same time. Great stuff.

If I could be even 1% as cool as Slash in that video, I would die a happy man.

Oh, I’m aware it’s not true, and I think she is too, but she was 17 or so when Let It Be came out, so there’s a little bit of teenaged irrationality in there still.

I could take it or leave it, but that’s mostly because my mom taught me to hate her for breaking up the Beatles.

I was going to say Emily Blunt as the explosives/munitions expert, but part of what made Ocean’s 11 so fun was that they weren’t exactly playing to their types, especially Matt Damon and Don Cheadle. So, Emily Blunt as the hacker.

Holy cow. Great art.

I’m not sure what model she got, but this one picks up cat hair very well. Our apartment is two floors, and we took the robot upstairs to vac the carpets and I had to clean out the bin three times, filled with cat hair.

I was a normal voter in 2000, the kind of half-paying-attention voter that most Americans are, and nobody of that ilk had any idea that Bush was what he is. We all thought he and Gore were the same! Trump does not even have that.

The pop-out cup holder.

The time is nigh for a revival of futuristic racing games. Give me a VR F-zero or Wipeout and... well, I’ll probably lose my job.

I listened to a recent episode, and although they included little side comments occasionally, it mostly sounded like they were just taking turns reading a term paper out loud for the first 70%. I love the premise of the podcast, should I try another?

Bro, get a Roomba. You will be amazed how much less you hate life if you don’t have to sweep up. My gf got one about a month ago and I thought it was a waste of money, but not any more.

I happen to like my polar fleece vest’s combination of core insulation and arm cooling. If I’m doing anything active I need to radiate, but in certain conditions I still need my torso to keep warm. Also, when I’m skiing and it’s extra cold out I like to use it as a layer.

He’s got time. He did astrogate and run the X-wing for Poe for half the movie, which is a big deal. There’s a few more movies to go, anyway.

I have an R2-Tea2, I’m not terribly surprised.
