I’ll never argue that elves are pointless and lame, but goblins are a treasure.

You know how you befriend the Scions and see them grow and evolve over the course of the story?

Horde isn’t getting the bee mount so we BETTER get the Vulpera

I wonder how many new players have seen some of the allied races and say “Hey, those look cool... wait, why can I not choose those races when I create a new character?”

“Save the Planet, Eat the Children Rich.”

The Elizabeth Warren/Marine rumor is one of the funniest and most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard in my life. I love how immediately it backfired, though, because we would all root for a 70 year-old-woman to outsex a 24-year-old Marine.

We need a woman champion willing to ride the rails around the country whipping anti-vaxxer essential oil pyramid scheme-shilling Facebook Jesus mom ass.

I mean, why would your marriage be any less real or committed if you got married in a church by a priest?

Absolutely agree they should have made those decisions before hand. They both failed a fairly obvious marriage checklist item there. I wouldn’t expect him to squash information about religion, but share it in the context of it being a belief system one can adopt should they choose, one option among many.

Would it be absolutely stunning that he might not want to send the message to those children that these answers about life are the default, and instead would like them to self determine their interest as they age?

I think people underestimate how uncomfortable (and damaging, in the long run, which I’m not sure qualifies here yet but it could if the mothers wishes to raise the child as a catholic always win) it is to hide a piece of who you are in order to smooth things over for the sake of other people. I know everyone rolls…

The answer to LW1 is coming off really defensive, almost biased towards religion being default and Atheism just being stubborn.

BINGO. You gave better advice this time than the Dr. I have strong feelings about religion being that I grew up in it. If you have to program your children into believing it when they’re kids - there’s a problem with your faith. If it’s logical, makes sense and is defensable - is it necessary to program your kids to…

There’s a reasonable disagreement and then there’s being an asshole for no good reason, TTBR, and you’re trending really close to the latter half of that equation.

Great fucking story.

Dude, SAME. I am also aging and chubby, this will be great.

This is awesome.

“You’d better use the force field you used with that bird, you big nerd because these hands are coming hot and ready.”

“I got a pressure point for ya pal, it’s called your throat and I’m about to punch it.”

The guy is a hero for standing up for what he believes in, in the face of an oppressive government.  The fact that he beats up Tai Chi dorks is icing on the cake.

This was fascinating and illuminating. Glad Deadspin is sticking so closely to sports like this.
