“They showed a whip, and I burst into tears. They showed a fedora, and I burst into tears. They played a snippet of the theme song, and I burst into tears.”
“How was the actual movie?”
“Eh, it was fine, I guess.”

Bad news: They have not, in fact, optioned my slash fic.
Based on that picture, John Hodgman is apparently co-producing this movie and I suddenly feel a lot better about it.
Pay to win: It’s just like lobbying!

“How did you finally get diabetes at your age, when you’re otherwise taking better care of yourself than ever?”
“Weeeeeeell ...”
It feels very much to me like we’re going to see the stuff the Countess is working on first — probably as the Thunderbolts, since it’s hard to use that brand name now without some smart alec spoiling what the original comic was about anyway, although Deadline did a great job of not actually knowing what the series was… Read more
The problem is when there are MCU installments that aren’t as fun as what you’re citing. My wife and I still haven’t finished Eternals, for instance, and it’d be a lot easier to get through if I knew it was “meaningful.”
(I don’t think Eternals is bad in the ways that Thor 2 and Iron Man 2 are bad, but lordy, is it… Read more
A lot of this is really industry specific. In a field where there are many more people applying for jobs than there are positions, the power is all with the employer and getting salaries up front is almost impossible and the ability to negotiate a salary — and not be punished for doing so — is almost non-existent.

Are you a cop? You have to tell us if you’re a cop.
I haven’t had their sriracha, but Yellowbird sauces are across the board terrific. Locally, they’re carried in Target and our Kroger-owned local chain.
While my preference would be that we don’t see shit until Dream of Spring is released (which seems comically unlikely at this point), I’m willing to give House of Dragon and Duncan & Egg a try.
The first is removed enough from Game of Thrones proper to be able to tell a fresh story and the second is based on stories… Read more
The MCU is clearly barreling toward a new team of Avengers, with nearly all of the Young Avengers now having appeared on screen, along with legacy versions of Avengers and second string Avengers (like the Black Knight) with more on the way.
Even people who hate GoT now still tend to like Kit Harrington. They’re not… Read more
This is a good formula.
You say that as though Hooters isn’t the only place in America that serves Buffalo wings, which you know damn well that it is.
Call it Peckers and you’ve got a million dollar idea. I’d certainly patronize it.
Non-fogging mirror and shower.
I think one shot play is probably more common for the modern real-world experience. So it’s no more of a commitment than the average night at someone’s house playing board games.
I typically play one shot games for about three hours at a time once every six weeks or so. It’s not a huge commitment.
“Beloved?” The first headline, still visible in the header, is probably more accurate: “Cult hit.”
Monte Cook is well regarded (I own and play a lot of his stuff), but “beloved” feels like a major stretch.
I’m not sure any RPG system could be described that way -- RPG fans are like Star Wars fans that way -- but surely… Read more
