They’re still trying to split the middle ground between boutique luthier guitars (handmade, US parts only, specifically sourced wood types) and mass manufacturing. Plus they’re a massive bureaucracy now, under the guidance of non-musician middle managers and bean counters, with seemingly no idea how to market to…

Yeah they have definitely been focused on high-end boutique stuff with a niche market lately. There’s still a few sub-$500 guitars but the high end stuff is astronomically expensive, often for little improvement in return. I’m talking $3,000+ guitars that, gimmicks and celebrity endorsements aside, offer very little…

The two people in the bus stop behind this dude giving him the side eye always cracks me up.

Witcher 3 goes on sale like every two months.

I’d actually love to see Charles Soule’s recent stuff adapted, although it’s probably too cerebral for a DC movie. It’s the best the character’s been written since maybe Rick Veitch.

For an article about how the world is “filled with needlessly cynical content” this sure is needlessly condescending.

Is Uwe Boll’s podcast just him talking shit about other directors and movies? That’s amazing.

God forbid you actually read the article you’re linking to.

I thought this was going to be about cocaine.

They really could have trimmed 30 minutes out of this movie and not lost much. I loved it, and I have a lot of patience for slow movies, but found my attention span and bladder severely tested by this in the theater.

Solomon Kane’s got some “darkest Africa” tropes but skews a little more sympathetic than the Conan stuff. Kane has a “witch doctor” sidekick in a few stories.

Oh, Lovecraft was repulsed by white people plenty, too.

Clearly The Tick is the next Game of Thrones.

Kurt Busiek managed to adapt a lot of the stories for the Dark Horse comics and excise Howard’s worst impulses. It’s definitely doable, but it might be more advisable to just write new material.

That film was surprisingly good - much better than the Momoa Conan movie.

It only really crops up in a couple of Lovecraft stories - The Rats in the Walls and The Red Hook Horror - but in Howard’s stuff its largely inescapable. I have a couple of Conan short story collections, and not only does the quality vary wildly from story to story, but the template he re-used over and over becomes…

I wonder how much of the source material they’re going to use - there’s hundreds of stories, but about 80% of them are Conan rescuing naked white ladies from dark-skinned savages and/or wrestling giant Freudian snakes.

This is all the online stuff. You can play through the single player mode and not encounter this nonsense at all (which is how I recommend you play).

Oh shit, the world isn’t ready to function without Willie. We’ve lost too many real motherfuckers recently. Maybe it’s time to switch to edibles and vaporizers - way less rough on the old lungs.

I know, right?
