Young Jedi Knights and JJK were the first books I took out from the library when I was around 4 - didn’t even know star wars had movies until a couple of years after I fell in love with the books, which probably led to my long-time complete ambivalence for the movie-side of SW.

Tahiri, Saba, some version of Daala, Qwi Xux, and Corran Horn. Easy.

BREAKING NEWS: Youtube personalty realizes that person’s suicide was about him all along. Solves inner conflict of how the world appeared not to revolve around him by discovery it does actually still revolve around him. Comes to further conclusions that it is also just his world and everyone else happens to live in…

Or you can just go on kinja, make a bunch of snarky remarks about how it is your own fault you don’t have the means to create a machine to compete with youtube. The problem is that YouTube keeps moving the goalposts. It’s easier to play by the rules if they don’t change every three weeks.

I think they realized pretty early on that the hardcore EU-for-life types would be cranky and angry over whatever they made, regardless of what they did with it, so they opted for the solution which would provide them with the best ability to make the movies they wanted to make, which is basically to just wipe it all…

A moon dropping on Chewi may have provided a definitive reason to drop the EU, but realistically, there was no good reason to retain it for the new movies. For the majority of fans who didn’t read the side stuff, you’re saddled with trying to explain a mountain of utterly batshit exposition, and for the fans who do…

Came for the bitter tears of the haters, and am extremely amused to find plenty. 😂

The 1943 Zoot Suit Riots were 90% racism and 10% patriotism. People figured that Zoot Suits needed more fabric, in short supply during the war years, so wearing them was considered unpatriotic. However, they were mostly popular with Mexican-Americans, so white GIs went around beating up Latinos whether they were…

He called the police on the false premise that a homicidal maniac at the given address had killed once, and was on the verge of killing again - with the full knowledge that the police response would be one aimed at preventing another murder, with a high potential for firearm usage (and the potential shooting of any…

“Worth” and “what you can sell them for” are two very different beasts.

Okay, before anyone gets any bright ideas there are some things to understand about “investing” in Magic cards.

I used to have to deal with people like this in comics when I ran a store. I had one guy come in who I had never seen before and only wanted to buy comics that would go up in price. I spent 20 minutes trying to explain that isn’t how it worked. He kept bringing up things like Action #1, Detective #27 and others.

As someone that runs events and manages the gaming side of a LGS, I would welcome the removal of the reserved list.

There is nothing more annoying than amateur investors. The ones that play the game and think they are going to get 200% value out of their played cards that they invested a whole $100 into. Oh and all…

It’s hardly victim mentality, and that’s what people claim when issues are too complex for their widdle head. Marvel chooses what books to get behind and which ones to let slide, as witnessed by the stupid Inhumans push. They could have given Thor, America, and Hulk a push, but because comics just make movies now,…

Hell, even that little bit of silence between Leeroy and Jenkins is perfect.

I was always under the impression that it was an exaggerated recreation of an actual event because we have all been there.

I wish I didn’t read this article. I never wanted to know it wasn’t real. My Internet Innocence died on Christmas. Sad trombone.

Thank you!
Glad someone beat me to saying this.
We don’t do it. It’s a trope that needs to end. I’ve known so many people who tell the story of a friend who supposedly had this happen. It just doesn’t.
Logically, why would we even try this? It’s not like anyone is going to say “Well... I’m already in the bedroom, I guess…

People are going to start making a lot of excuses for this, and that’s fine. I think it’s fair to point out that some of this discussion is premature since we barely know anything about her and how the game will deal with her being trans, if she is.
