The way he’s standing makes my mind think he’s holding a walking stick/cane like Mr. Fucking Peanut.

You could go way further back than that, except, did Ford do anything? I’m sure there was some Cold War shenanigans.

Imagine this: You’re a farmer living in India. The climate has changed, and it’s been a while since you had a good year. So, say you and 10% of the Indian population decide to move north. That is ONE HUNDRED MILLION people moving north. How does China deal with that? How does Afghanistan? Imagine Pakistan’s reaction…

I need to ask my mom about all the Amway stuff we used when I was a kid. They’re actually good products that we used instead of store-bought soap, detergents, granola bars, kool-aid (irony), and more. I think my parents just didn’t get pressured to be another level on the pyramid.

The Starter Set is the perfect intro for players and the DM both, and there are resources online for balancing it for different player counts. I would recommend against letting anyone play more than one character.

Solid point.

I don’t think it’s crazy to say that they could just use the plot of the game, which is pretty linear (I mean that in the best way possible). The island it was set on is a beautiful character in itself.

Please god, take all the oranges you want. Better than splattered on my hood or eaten by rats.

And this is why D&D is awesome.

As far as the general population goes, I think Barack is not a very cool person; he’s probably around average. As far as presidents go, he is the coolest motherfucker ever to sit in the Oval Office.

I think the Starter Set adventure, Lost Mines of Phandelver is uninspired on purpose. It’s made to have new players say, “Oh, goblins, I know what they are. Orcs! Got it. A dragon!” Then it moves on into very D&D stuff like a mini-beholder and a drow.

Yeah, getting a new player to also learn the UI of an online game is a bridge too far for many.

1981-1978=3, but I suppose I was more likely 2 and some change now that you make me think harder about it.

I’m so happy I already played this mission. Having to go through it with this article echoing in my head would have been even worse.

In the interest of not piling on to Major, I want to point out to you that I’m 38 and was 3 years old when this happened; I have never heard of the incident. It’s stretching the definition of younger folk that don’t know about this.

I got the middle-quality $20 bread knife at Ikea and it changed my life (in a minor and mostly inconsequential way). For the cost of the upgrade I absolutely think it’s worth it.

I’m with you, but what word should you use? I think you might be quibbling over definitions, since a person who goes to the aid of a badass is still rescuing said badass. Zelda has spent 100 years presumably in torment, self-sacrifice or no.

Only eggplant turns that nasty color out of the oven, so I’m going with eggplant parmesan, baked beyond edibility.

Too many uppers, can’t sit back and relax.

Screw you for posting a link to the climbing gear. I’m trying to go internet-free on my first playthrough; I might be playing too much, but I’m pretty sure I heard that link whispering at me. NOT TODAY, TEMPTING LINK!
