    Video Games You Wish Existed

    Because of this thread, I’ve been looking online for updated versions or games inspired by the games I mentioned upthread, either for mobile gaming, computer gaming or both. Results have been mixed. I’ve found a few that are similar enough that I might give them a try. I’ve found out that at...

    Metal School

    Just stumbled on this nostalgic video: Of the 30 bands listed, I’ve heard of around 20, actually heard music by 15-18, and own 1+ CDs by 4.

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Ditto here, technically, but if you ask, they’ll start with listing the carbonated stuff first. You might even have to ask for anything non-carbonated by name.

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    Completely different flavor. Pepsi is sweeter and its flavor tends linger longer (at least for me). Coke seems to cleanse the palate more.

    What Do You Call This Popular Beverage?

    I voted “Other” because, as an Army Brat I’ve lived in places that use each one of these terms. So now I default to asking for products by name (when I order them). When I’m asking what’s available, I ask for “soft drink” options. But I rarely order them anymore, sticking mostly to tea...

    RPG-style Board Games

    Personally, I think- if nothing else- campaign-style CW helped create and expand some important groundwork for RPG and quasiRPG gameplay for other wargames, like MechWarrior springing out of BattleTech. Of course, this wasn’t exactly new territory for SJG, considering the history of...

    Today’s Facepalm Moment: We took a whole bunch of (mostly) functional but seriously outdated tech to be recycled Friday, including a venerable Mac laptop. It had served in various capacities over its 10+ years of operation. I just realized THIS MORNING that I possibly could have made it into...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    Mod Note: On ENWorld, we prefer that people keep things civil. Part of that is not making things personal. The section quoted fails that metric. Please do better going forward.

    I don’t think we have any gentry in our family. Not even someone NAMED Earl.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    We’re in the middle of replacing a HOUSEFUL of electronics & tech. We only change out devices when we absolutely have to, and take care of our stuff, so we usually have stuff YEARS or DECADES longer than most. Last year, it was our iPhones and iPads. This year? 2 flatscreen TVs, and a...

    Unusual Sandwiches

    Boar’s Head is sold in at least 2 of the grocery chains near me, and they have it in their line. I don’t know for how long, though- I just noticed it and gave it a try! Does the Lebanon bologna you’ve had taste similar to my description?

    Video Games You Wish Existed

    A basketball game set in a LotR-style world could be a lot of fun, and could have characters spouting lines like: “They have a cave troll!” “You shall not pass!” “That only counts as one!”

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    That’s the Hal Jordan-era GL Corp weakness. Alan’s weakness is wood. This tracks: if that the trolley was mostly made of wood, he couldn’t affect it directly. But if he used his ring to become giant sized, he could stop the trolley like a housecat pouncing on a Lionel HO scale train…
