See, I shouldn’t have been so definitive, because there are some seriously brilliant jokes in Wayne’s World 2, and plenty of good parts in Austin Powers 2. 

That’s legitimate, but I only thought the first Shrek was “pretty OK” and have only seen the sequels once each, back during theater release. Most of my argument is from the other two, where I find their relative sequels to have a Matrix-level drop in enjoyment every time I try to watch them. Meyers has a bad habit of…

Mike Meyers can’t do sequels. Wayne’s World, Shrek, and Austin Powers all went downhill the moment they put a ‘2' after the title.

I started playing Witcher 3 (finally) a few months ago, using this style. I wandered over to a question mark on the map for a little exploration and suddenly PLOT was happening! I had no idea what was going on, and I was oddly annoyed to be dragged into something major.

Half your age plus seven is an almost fool-proof system for “How creepy is this older-younger relationship?” You’re 16? Below 15 is creepy. You’re 40? Younger than 27 is bad.  80 -> 47.  

While we’re on the subject, sort of: Can someone explain “tRump” as an insult? I just don’t get how it’s a burn. He has a fat ass? He’s... Republican? The R personifies him somehow more than the T?  

As an Always-DM, I’m psyched to be a player in a D&D game tonight!  Other than that, I’m neck-deep in Witcher 3.  I held off playing it for this long because I knew it would consume me.  Luckily, my wife actually suggest it as something for us to do together!

I had never heard of Steak-umms before last month, so I googled them. I still don’t really understand what kind of food it is, and now I’ve got Steak-umm banner ads everywhere I go. I’m pretty sure I can’t even get them in California.  Marketing works!

Toll House recipe, with the perfect cooking time: the edges are crispy but the center is just mostly-cooked.  I’ve never gotten them just right the way my mom made them.  That’s nostalgia for you.

I once bought a beer as part of a pick-your-own-6er at a grocery store. I realized later that they probably just found all their singles from broken packaging and put them on a room-temperature shelf, but I was young. Who knows how long that beer had sat on the shelf soaking up UV and whatever other abuse, but it was S…

It’s pretty well known that Lincoln rode the train to Gettysburg, right?

I asked my hipster cousin what to do that was off the wall and not what the “48 hours in Minneapolis!” articles would tell me. He pointed me at Can Can Wonderland. Underground, handmade, artsy-fartsy mini-golf! With boozy milkshakes! There’s a frog that poops your ball if you hit it in the mouth. Upstairs from there…

I just spent a long weekend in MSP and did 5 of 5 (if you count, you know, travelling through the airport). Get the beef rib at Butcher & Boar.

Hey slow your roll, I don’t want to throw out my shoulder from pumping my fist so hard.

My parents gave us a solid chocolate bunny for Easter.  I was around 8, my brother was 10, give or take.  This being the 80's, my parents went out for dinner or something and left us alone for the night.  So, we decide that it’s a great idea to start carving into the bunny with a little 3" kitchen knife.  Sure enough,…

I’m hoping for the next generation of character meshes to have flexible and inflexible parts.  I hate watching plate mail or solid body armor stretch when the character moves their arms.

Two things - D&D sessions don’t necessarily have to last longer than a couple games of Cataan or one run through Ticket to Ride. I usually play for 3 hours at a time, sometimes less. Secondly, consider inviting your wife along? D&D isn’t a boy’s game any more than computer science is a man’s job (that is to say, it…

The closest I’ve ever come to being ‘owned’ is the several times I’ve been literally speechless that someone could say something so fucking dumb out loud. The other side takes our stunned silence and shocked looks as signs of correctness.

You’re correct, but this all just makes me tired.

At least you can get a hearty adolescent chuckle from the name ‘Kum and Go’. I know I always do.
