That does suck, but remember that there’s a massive card pool st your disposal and I don’t see dedicated players going away anytime soon.

a culture that guarantees absolute belief to anyone who says they experienced sexual trauma.

Alternatively, you could decide that just because someone was nice to you doesn’t mean he wasn’t an awful piece of shit to other people.

Yes, because as we all know, appearing on a Netflix series is a constitutional right we’d be denying Mr. Tambor.

For every good fanfic writer out there, there are a hundred with no talent and no taste who just want to make their favorite characters bone.

if I’m playing in someone else’s sandbox, I try to be respectful of the spirit of their work. I’m no great shakes as a writer, but at the end of the day, I’d like to think I’ve made something that wouldn’t make the author violently ill if they stumbled across it.

Fanfic has its fun moments. In some cases, expanding on scenes or events glossed over by the author, giving us alternate points of views, humorous versions of things, etc. It’s an easy venue for new writers to stretch their wings, since a lot of world and character building is already done for them. That can be…

Back in the early 2000s, I started writing Stargate SG-1 fanfiction. I wrote enough that I decided to try writing my own original characters and, in 2007, my first novel was published. Seven years after that, based on the fact I was a published author, I was hired by Fandemonium to write official SG-1 novels (Two…

After years of practice and analysis of results, speed reading has been proven to be simply skimming by another name.

Yes. The author of this post, in fact!

The thing with lava is you don’t get your home back. Your property is straight up gone if a flow blows through your neighborhood.

Agreed. I know that’s the overall picture, but to one homeowner, losing their home is the big picture. It’s subjective, but true.

Where in the sweet fuck are these people when it comes to adapting media that isn’t European or even Western, or writing media about places that don’t fit that umbrella?

Yeah, but “The Empire” is a significantly less specific thing than “The First Order”. You don’t really need to explain “The Empire”. We pretty much immediately understood what that meant. So, if this is just ‘The Empire Resurgent’, then why call it The First Order? Why not just say The Empire is coming back? They’ve…

I’m with you. My biggest issues with the new films have been how boring the setting is. The First Order feels like a lame, less terrifying version of the Empire (with younger, more incapable leaders) and the Resistance is basically the Rebellion on a tighter budget. They feel like worse versions of their original…

Another great advantage that the live action series will have is the ability (hopefully) to use props, models, stock CGI, etc. from all the films being worked on at the same time. That, along with the “Jungle Book” technology, can give us some fantastic-looking episodes without breaking the bank so to speak. So maybe…

I expect it partially has to do with how batman operates outside the law and violates due process. I expect it also has to do with not getting rid of batmans best villain.

This isn’t a new tactic, websites like this have been doing this for years, even movie magazines in the 80's/90's did this, not everyone can attend Comicon or CinemaCon, so movie studios share “exclusive footage” knowing writers/bloggers/etc will go to the web and share what they experienced. This creates buzz and…
