The best movie of the Cornetto Trilogy…

I’ll be curious to see what these charts are going to be able to do now that the series is going wildly off-book.

I know that when they’re doing it right, Batman kinda does it for effect so that he can be this big bat-shaped thing swooping out of the shadows and striking terror into his foes, so that they can’t easily find his body to shoot at, thus making it look like their guns are useless against him.

I think it’s not a question of the health impact of red meat, but rather the environmental impact. If demand for meat were reduced, we’d have less rainforest destroyed to make pastures, less bovine carbon emission. I keep hearing (in that pithy clickbait-headline and poorly-researched infographic kind of way that you…

Wow, I knew old school D&D was harsh, but I didn’t realize it was that mean; I’m used to fuzzy, player-friendly 4E.

Most of my knowledge of “Tomb of Horrors” comes from Ready Player One rather than having played it myself. I assume in the original module, you also complete the dungeon by beating the Lich in Joust, right?

Well now you know…

I couldn’t actually recall how much was talked about them beyond their prowess on the battlefield in the books, but I knew in the show, for the obvious reason you’ve already mentioned, they were just big wolves.

You can’t… under normal conditions, but scientists aren’t limited to normal conditions.

Indeed. I didn’t know that it was Dragon as opposed to one of the ‘proper’ sourcebooks, but I knew that Dire ______’s originally joined D&D as a relatively realistic entry in a prehistoric creature supplement and only later came to mean a more challenging, large, spiny version of the animal in question.

The sad part is, they had enough good stuff in there to make a serious, like, minute-and-a-half trailer that looks like a pretty decent superhero show, but for some reason felt they needed to surround it with four-and-a-half minutes of shitty rom-com trappings. It’s like they just didn’t think people would tune into a…

A few hundred thousand years before later D&D editions turned “dire” into an adjective that means “larger-than-normal and covered with spikes” and Game of Thrones turned them into normal wolves, but bigger, Dire Wolves were a thing. Bigger than modern wolves? Slightly and definitely more muscular. Covered in spikes?…

It sounds like we’re splitting hairs though. Based on the link you included, the Monstrous Manual is a list of monsters with their stats and lore for use by the DM. I don’t see much difference between Vincze saying “Real Plants and Fungi That Look Like Something from the Monstrous Manual” and “Real Plants and Fungi…

Like I said, lethal to that timeline. He’s fading from your memory just like Marty’s siblings in that picture he brought back in time with him…

If it’s any consolation A) you’re not the only person whose premature correction I jumped on and B) due to my D&D experience starting with like, 2 sessions of 3.5 and then not picking back up again until I started playing 4E years later, I only knew that was it’s title in AD&D because I googled “monstrous manual” (and…

All depends on your preferred edition. Vincze is clearly still rocking some 2nd Edition AD&D. There’s probably an alternate universe where he’s into Pathfinder and says these plants belong in the Bestiary.

Eh, a quick Google search suggests that at least for 2nd Ed. AD&D, it was the Monstrous Manual, and I feel like the earlier we go into D&D’s history, the more absurd the monsters get (barring, of course, the popular ones that have become legacy ridiculous monsters)

Pretty much every human-sized character in the Dresden Files gets plenty of love, but at times it feels like Harry and I are the only people who are excited to see Toot Toot and the ‘Za Lord’s Guard show up. Toot became such a badass as the series progressed, and whether they’re spying for Harry or laying traps for…

Did this not get mainpaged yesterday, or did I just somehow miss it in between slaughtering bounty hunters by the thousands and yet still leaning towards the Light Side?

X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ Deadpool, so deadly an entire timeline was erased to contain his inconquerable terribleness…
