    D&D 5E (2014) Should All Subclasses Be Gained at 1st Level?

    Level 3 across the board. Otherwise, it's kind of like asking a 10 year-old to pick a career.

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    He's a protocol droid. A little bit of diplomacy would be appreciated. At the very least, don't denigrate the local indigenous people to their face.

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    I'm not buying it. There's no indication that he was accurately translating anything the Ewoks said. Also, most translators don't call people "filthy" standing right by them. Like, he straight up said Jawas are filthy standing by the Jawas. Worst. Protocol. Droid. EVER!

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    If the first season was nothing but him with the Tuskens, basically Dances With Bantha, I'd be down with that. Build it up gradually to where the S1 Big Bad is the Pyke Syndicate in the form of the spice train. Season Finale is the Train Job. Denouement is Boba laying down the law that these...

    I'm beginning to think that Threepio was being a little overly dramatic.

    It couldn't have been more than a few days in the Sarlacc. He needed to raid a stormtrooper for air. Not to mention thirst.

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    My problem with this show, so far, is the (to me) unnecessary reliance on flashbacks. Ordinarily, flashbacks are used to illustrate parallel plots (perfectly exemplified in The Godfather: Part II). But here, it's just used to say, "Also, 5 years earlier, this happened." I find it jarring and...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Yes. And we will be treated to about 2 minutes of "present day" per episode, followed by approximately 53 minutes of flashback showing such crucial events as Boba Fett deciding to shave his head; why Boba Fett's cape has a stain on it (not that stain, the other stain. no, the OTHER other...

    The Book of Boba Fett (spoilers)

    Me, starting Episode 3: "Oh boy! Directed by Robert Rodriguez, the director of El Mariachi and Sin City." Me, having watched Episode 3: "What did I expect? It was directed by Robert Rodriguez, the director of Spy Kids! and Sharkboy & Lavagirl."

    Joss Whedon Allegations: The Undoing of the "Buffy" Creator

    I suspect the article was some attempt to rehab his image. At least for me, it didn't work. Among the lowlights was his trading on the name of his mother's student for feminist cred; the likely deliberate elision of Television Without Pity (the unnamed blog referred to in the article) which is...

    Peacemaker (HBOMax) - Possible Spoilers

    Given that the episodes are written and directed by James Gunn, I wouldn't be surprised if the show is just thinly-veiled middle finger by him aimed at his perceived foe of so-called cancel culture.

    You have them confused with EA. Microsoft's modus operandi is subscriptions.

    Now imagine the wit and creativitity of that single exchange but halved and then spread out over a dozen half-hour episodes.

    Peacemaker (HBOMax) - Possible Spoilers

    I'm about 3 eps into this James Gunn series. A bit one-notey. John Cena reprises his role a lunkheaded, ostensibly affable, possibly accidentally prejudiced assassin who loves peace by killing lots of people. When he's funny, he's very funny. Otherwise, it's kind of "Haha! Peacemaker said...
