    Subtitles for People That Hate Them

    My wife makes me read them to her, which is annoying to both of us, so we tend not to watch things that are subtitled.

    D&D General Mike Mearls says control spells are ruining 5th Edition

    I think Mearls confused D&D with MTG.

    Webcomics!

    I was in a hurry in between some things on the grill. I'll go back and edit.

    Webcomics!

    Order of the Stick! I think this is the best D&D webcomic, great jokes, and some very D&Disms. Honorble mention to Life of the Party though. XKCD Great geek comic, often very educational. HIghbrow humor, often, and good for the single panel format. Irregular Webcomic. One of the OG's. The...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Book preview from NYCC

    Back when, I ran Elminster like the Dread Pirate Roberts ... he wasn't a single individual, but a series of charlatans who would take the name as a pretense to greatness.

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    I'm not sure Indian Jones counts as a trilogy given your definition (and disqualification of Dollars). The second movie takes place chronologically before the first, plus there are five movies now. I'm fine with counting it just as I am Dollars. But whatever; I'll choose my own definitions, so...

    Renegade to Reprint Lords of Waterdeep

    Great game. I suggest it when people ask to play Monopoly. There's a lonely Scoundrels of Skullport expansion sitting on the shelf at my FLGS; maybe with the reprint it will find a loving home.

    Trailer Tron: Ares | Flynn Lives

    Greetings programs! Saw it today. Entertaining but a bit flat; 5/10. Thought the characters needed development, the plot devices were contrived, and the soundtrack could have used more Depeche Mode and it had nothing catchy. It's the worst of the three films IMO -- the first had vision and...

    Who's on your geek Mount Rushmore?

    We'll give them a sand castle. JRR Tolkien, HG Wells, Jules Verne, Robert E. Howard

    Deathstalker Gets A Reboot!

    I'm assuming it doesn't start with the main character committing sexual assault like the original. I love cheesy sword and sorcery B-movies, but that shouldn't fly anymore IMO.

    D&D General What's your view on a pirate-driven campaign?

    Depends on the kind of pirate. Ninja pirates? Perhaps. Robot ninja pirates? Closer. Robot ninja dinosaur pirates? I'm in.

    What do you love about The Wheel of Time?

    I bailed at book 7. If it hadn't been for Brandon Sanderson, I would have never finished the series. I mean, of course none of us would have, but knowing that he actually picked the pace up and things happened, gave me reason to return to the series and plow on through the desert to reach...
