Yes, I tell my kids that it is. Unemployment, even at the height of the Great Recession, was substantially lower for those with a bachelor’s degree or better than those without. (Obviously, results vary by field.)

Salaries are significantly higher.

And, as I tell my kids, college gives you options. Maybe you don’t want…

So, the first campaign The Adventure Zone did was 5E D&D (sloppily applied a lot of the time), nominally set in the Forgotten Realms, but bearing little resemblance to it, except for a few names.

Since then, they’ve played short games in other systems and are wrapping up their second full campaign, which used Monster…

Honestly, I’d love to see Disney give the Alien franchise the Star Wars treatment. Whatever else you think of the sequel trilogy, it’s very clear that Disney sat down before filming The Force Awakens and talked about what makes Star Wars great, and then remixed all of those elements.

Given that everything after Aliens…

It’s OK to use FaceTime in public to comfort a crying child.

That’s it. That’s the one exception.

As gross as Burger King tacos may be, I take issue with the notion that Mexico City tacos are our exemplar. Mexico is large. It contains taco multitudes, including deep fried tacos much closer to what Jack in the Box and Burger King are doing, in their own debased way.

Weird. A thin-skinned billionaire who won’t listen to any criticism or brook any push-back has come up with a stupid idea that doesn’t even work right. No one could have seen that coming.

(And, on a related note, root for the Las Vegas Monorail in this battle. It makes the Strip a much more pleasant experience and…

These guys must be baffled when they watch Die Hard and see Bruce Willis getting increasingly beaten down.

“WHERE WAS THIS GUY’S AGENT?”

She betrayed all the other fictional characters.

Here’s hoping it has a lot more Pebble DNA in it.

My weighted blanket is sweaty as hell in the summer, even with the A/C on, but $249 is yikes.

First off, Bernie Sanders yells everything. He even yells “HELLO!” at his staff when they come in each morning. So good luck with that, Ryan.

Second, John Delaney clearly lost a bet that requires him to run for president. He’s only marginally more likely to be elected than John Hickenlooper, but even I have a better…

Please tell me you at least watched it while sitting on the toilet, in that case.

The Shallows is better than either of them, although still not anywhere close to Jaws. And not just because Blake Lively is a bikini for 95 percent of the movie.

Still better than the directors cut of Aliens.

I remember the scene where a shark swam backwards and crossed my arms in irritation. (I make no apologies for what sort of nerd I am.) And then Jackson’s speech happened and joy returned to the universe.

If you do a D&D movie, you’re going to either let Felicia Day be in it or have to have security on constant guard to keep her from breaking onto the set and photobombing every scene instead.

You work for those Impossible Burger monsters, don’t you? Blink twice for “yes.”

Please just make the second and third seasons available to purchase via iTunes, where I bought the first, so I don’t have to figure out WTF a VRV is.

Too soon, Modusoperandi. Too soon.

Because the sales of those books are dropping precipitously and a genre-specific award hasn’t been given out since 2008 or 2009.

I’m wondering if this was an old idea Joss had sitting around somewhere and dragged it out after his other pitches didn’t generate enough interest.
