One I introduced to my players recently: a baby with glowing blue eyes turns out to have been born with the cells of an ancient sorcerer who, for all intents and purposes, destroyed the world hundreds of years ago. The party and baby go to see an oracle, and once she places a hand on the crying baby’s forehead, she…

So the people complaining about this being “unrealistic” want a game where you go through basic training cleaning floors and toilets, endure psychological horror and loss during bouts of combat that are confusing and messy, then suffer through crushing PTSD for years afterward?

I mean, “Spec Ops: The Line” has already…

Let’s say the players do stand proudly during the anthem... while also proudly displaying the raised fists for black power. What happens then?

Something tells me that’s all about to happen in the Flashpoint movie. Except for Wonder Woman, though; her movie (and Gal Gadot) was a cash cow, and there’s no way they would mess with that.

I was just happy that a DC movie FINALLY let its hero be the positive archetype that can still kick ass that they’re supposed to be. When my girlfriend and I were walking out of the theater, she looked at me with this giddy grin and said, “I feel like I’m 10 years old again.”

I also love that Wonder Woman has now…

I find that I can name several male comic book writers (such Brian Michael Bendis and Brian K. Vaughn) who at least strike me as decent people, but man, prose authors are giving me trouble.

...Yeah, I got nothing then.

Fuuuuck. Welp, one fewer then....

Now this is an interesting challenge. Hmm, let me try my hand at it.... (NOTE: I don’t know for sure if any of these are true, they just seem like decent people to me with my admittedly limited knowledge.)

1.) John le Carre
2.) Isaac Asimov
3.) Ray Bradbury
4.) Chuck Palahniuk (?)
5) Mark Twain (?)
6.) Um... shit....

Well,…

How embarrassing for him; everyone knows it’s pronounced “Schwetty.”

Are we seeing the origins of Batman here? (I mean, it would make more sense than Fox’s “Gotham” at this point....)

Though I’m really, REALLY bothered by the fact that the girls here didn’t get to see any of the profits they earned, this nevertheless puts a smile on my face (speaking as someone who has worked in a family homeless shelter in Baltimore as well as a shelter for foster kids in Austin). Kids in these situations have so…

I’ve longed for a 10-part series on The Silmarillion, with each episode being handled by a different director in a completely different style. I’m not holding my breath for anything like that with this series, but hey, a guy can dream....

I generally don’t give a shit about celebrity marriages, but I think I’ll be genuinely sad if Chrissy Teigen and John Legend ever break up. Both of them seem so perfect, and perfect for each other.

Why are you going and making me like The Rock even more...?

I kind of love Muffet’s husband after reading this; I didn’t know anything about him before now.

Anyway, yeah, this was perhaps the greatest coaching job I’ve ever seen in the sport of basketball. I’m a Purdue grad and even I found myself rooting for Notre Dame this tournament.

Notre Dame lost four players to ACL injuries this year. Muffet McGraw is one hell of a coach.

This may be the most succinct and best descriptor of this presidency that I’ve ever read.

It’s been reported that Tom Arnold said Roseanne Barr forbid him from dating Laurie Metcalf.

This, coupled with Ben Carson’s “let transgender homeless people die miserably” stance, is one reason why I was always proud to work for the SAFE Alliance here in Austin. I worked at a children’s shelter, but we also had a domestic violence shelter, first response rape center, and several other services. We made a…
