My favorite part about this is that, even misrepresenting Ed's status on the project, the only endorsements he could find to put on his ad were two people who are listed as involved in it (Ed and Dheeraj Verma, who sadly passed in 2021 and can't speak to their support at this point and for all...

It was Mattel.

I remember reporting on Konstantine Kyros, the lawyer who represented dozens of clients suing WWE over concussions they suffered during their time as active performers with the company. As I recall, dude got around $300,000 in sanctions against him over staggering levels of incompetence. At...

I particularly appreciate that the synopsis reveals the conclusion of the story, thus making it unnecessary for anyone to have read the book.

Yeah it's 100% a thing, just like the people who watch The Room or Troll 2. They do it ironically or to laugh at the awfulness. I have two friends who have regular "drinky watchy" sessions where they watch terrible movies for the unintentional humor.

Sorry, what?

It's the least of the design sins in that image, but as someone who deals with images daily for work it's driving me absolutely UP THE WALL how not at all centered the Profile Pic is.

Short version: it took place in that era. That whole period on that page is a mess. The larger block of text amidst that series of removals and additions are attempts to add the following in: It kept getting reverted out too and eventually, and the person who kept trying to add it eventually...

Definitely a different guy, Mad Max Brian May passed in 1997. But to add to the potential confusion in some people's minds, Queen Brian May composed the soundtrack for the 1999 French film Furia, which some might confuse with the next Mad Max film Furiosa, a prequel for Charlize Theron's Mad...

Honestly, I was surprised it got a release date in China at all. China often does not allow films featuring things like magic, undead and other supernatural elements into the country; the first Suicide Squad famously wasn't allowed entry, in part because of Enchantress. Several other films...

Sigh. It should be noted that CosmicBookNews is a notoriously unreliable outlet that leans into anti-"woke" commentary and is somewhere below the level of We Got This Covered in terms of credibility (aka exactly who you would expect NuTSR to be quoting). They're basing their article on Box...

I'm not a parent myself so my opinion is what it is (not much). But of all the people in the TTRPG space, Dave Johnson is at or near the bottom of who I would take opinions on what is or isn't appropriate to have kids see. And Grits Tub LaNasa isn't all that much higher.

He's not even shy about it either. The TSR Hobbies Ratings Meter links directly to the ESRB Ratings Guide while requiring a contract to actually use.

For what it's worth, LaNasa claims it's Taekwondo. Which, as we all know, isn't worth much because I don't think anyone would put it past him passing off a certification from one martial art for another.
