So fantasy is strictly Tolkien?

Hugely successful fantasy author is schooled by anonymous loser Big_Medicine on fantasy in general and orcs specifically. A grateful Martin says “Thank God Big_Medicine has set me straight. My life’s work has been sadly mistaken. I’ve been inspired to write a five volume epic depicting the struggle and pain of being…

Are you sure YOU know what fantasy is? Because there have been multiple examples of fantasy tales with orcs that ranged from ‘not totally bad’ to full on heroes. Forgotten Realms has toyed with orcs who tried to be peaceful, Warcraft’s Azeroth has had many noble orcs, Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series has orcs which are…

I guess some people just can’t handle anything more complex than “the good guys versus bad guys.”

Fascist agents of the dystopian corporate police state: They’re just like us!

I have to admit, I don’t really get the love for this SS trailer. It seems like it’s trying to capitalize on GotG success, there the superheroes STARTED OUT IN PRISON in case anyone forgot.

I feel as though DC has suddenly taken the lead, thanks to the fantastic new Suicide Squad trailer and the Wonder Woman movie footage. What is even happening?

Exactly. Thank you. What has the Kings management done? It has turned the proper noun ‘Maloof’ into a verb ‘to maloof’, and somehow managed to perpetuate the worst organizational culture in professional basketball into the new cuckoo-bananas Ranadive ownership era.

People need to stop blaming Boogie. He cleaned up his act, he went from being practically banned from Team USA for being a headcase into getting back on Team USA and being a key player in the 2014 FIBA championship team and turned into a much better player. Boogie was told to get his act together, he lived up to his…

Man, I want to back this up, and I love Karl. But he was WAY out of line this summer. He was most definitely the wrong choice.
