    Expanding the English Lexicon

    There are a few great words in other languages that we don't have in English. From articles I've seen around the web, here are some I'd love to have as part of common parlance: Forelsket (Norwegian): The euphoria you experience when you are first falling in love. Meraki (pronounced...

    Doctor Who: Robot of Sherwood (SPOILERS)

    A very silly episode indeed, which both my wife and I enjoyed. FWIW.

    "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." - Season 2

    My wife and I quite enjoyed the last half of the season, and not out of Stockholm Syndrome. To each their own.

    Doctor Who: Robot of Sherwood (SPOILERS)

    I enjoyed it. Not one of the season's "A" episodes (I hope), but a solid B-. So much fun!

    TRUE BLOOD--Chapter 10--Thank You /Season (7) FINALE!!!!!

    Also disappointed. Really ended with a whimper instead of a bang. Alas. I'm actually glad it's over because I spent most of the last two seasons watching out of duty (sunk cost fallacy) instead of for pleasure.

    TRUE BLOOD--SEASON 7/Chapter 1-- Jesus Gonna Be Here/Season (7) FINALE!!!!!

    My partner and I watched it... she and I both concluded "that was ok". It's possible that it wouldn't have quite reached "ok" level for me without the nudity, frankly. We'll keep watching, I'm sure. I mean, we're paying for it, it's the last season, etc. But... it's ok.

    GAME OF THRONES #10:The Children ACT 49 Chapter 4-2014 *Season Ending*

    It's entirely possible (book spoilers) .

    News just in: d22, d18, d14, d7 and d5 required to play 5E (D&D Next)!

    Sorry about that, I use the white theme so it showed up fine for me.

    News just in: d22, d18, d14, d7 and d5 required to play 5E (D&D Next)!

    It shows just fine. Folks didn't bother to read it, is all.

    The 100

    I've seen the first three, which had enough interesting stuff to keep me going. (Yes, sometimes cheesy and melodramatic, but I don't mind that in "background" television viewing, as opposed to my "active" viewing.)

    Dark Dungeons full trailer!

    Yeah, not saying it's ethical, but it sure seems to be the case to me.

    Dark Dungeons full trailer!

    Here's why the filmmaker is being cagey, as near as I can tell: In order to actually produce a true "Dark Dungeons" movie — something that gamers around the world have heard of — he had to get Jack Chick's permission. Yes, he could do a true parody, but then he'd be opening himself to lawsuit...

    Dark Dungeons full trailer!

    Is that your concern about it being a serious-seeming film, that the very small number of people who believe this now will have their beliefs reinforced?

    Dark Dungeons full trailer!

    Though I've not seen the film, the trailer makes me feel certain that the only people who will see this as an actual condemnation of RPGs is those who already believe it.

    Interstellar (trailer)

    You've expressed your view repeatedly. Definitely got it. Some may differ, doesn't make you wrong.

    Interstellar (trailer)

    I'm suggesting no such thing, of course. Just that "oversentimental" and "overwrought" might not be the right words for the circumstance. (Separately, I'm perfectly glad for them to tackle such things in a movie called "Interstellar", just like I was enjoyed Jodie Foster's character struggle...

    Interstellar (trailer)

    FWIW, if you have kids your feelings can pretty much never be overly sentimental or overwrought about probably leaving them forever.

    Bad Robot

    Shame about Almost Human, I really enjoyed it.

    Elysium (Here There Be Spoilers)

    FWIW I was fine with the ham-handed messages, and frankly Matt Damon was the reason I ended up watching it (so some South African rapper or Eminem would have lost me as a customer). However, the nutty plot holes (the defense system was just stupidity itself), bad science (especially the...

    GAME OF THRONES #2: The Lion and the Rose ACT 41 Chapter 4-2014

    The dragon's wings are totally unrealistic, too, as is the speed of the zombies. (Wait, what, this is a fantasy world?)
