In these kinds of things, I've usually taken to staying away from the obvious top 1, 2 or 3 movies because everyone will simply mention them and nobody learns about anything new :) So I don't mention the Jackson films, for instance. I'd certainly put Willow in there. To me, the requirement...

I've heard some very good things about the Atomic Robo treatment, and it was good to hear about Gcore-Prime; I'll have to check that out tonight. Yay on ICONS, which I have and want to test out at some point. The new compilation looks like it runs a little better than the previous version and...

I keep coming back to the idea that Sauron poured so much of himself into the One Ring that he basically ceased to exist save as a wraith without it, and it took him 3,000 years to get to the point of even appearing visible. Me, I'd assume that the Ring, in the hands of someone knowledgeable...

Really, what you should be telling me is how your software, out of the box, is better for me than Hero Lab. Creating an OGL character generator by this point should almost be an automatic exercise in database management. Specifically what features does it offer me that Hero Lab does not?

Oh,. true. Carry on! Nothing to see here!

Alternately, one of the big classic Flash superspeed tricks is to appear to be in two places at once by moving and changing so fast that the human eye cannot discern the difference. That level of stupidly fast speed hasn't technically been seen yet, but it's a possibility - Reverse Flash...

I think that Eddie is Wells' ancestor, Wells being from the 25th century like the original Professor Zoom. In the comics, The Flash has a LOT of people in life from other time periods, esp the 25th century. Hell, Wells could turn out to be Abracadabra for all we know.

I really enjoy his enthusiasm :) I'm really hoping he eventually becomes Vibe.

High level wizards don't control reality in any real fashion, topping out at 20th level as they do. They can't make planes, create worlds, light stars, sink nations, make races, print souls, etc, etc. They are pretty obviously limited to 'human level' magic, and never have the power to make...

Pathfinder has an 'atheist' people in Rahadoum, but rather than deny the existence of the gods, they hold that no man should be dependent or beholden to one. How do you justify being an actual atheist in the default D&D world? I'm sure atheists could exist because any form of aberrant human...

You may be able to gain some inspiration for a novel from gaming, but trying any sort of direct correlation is doomed to end in utter failure unless you are specifically writing for a gaming publisher. There's a reason why every fantasy publisher that gives advice on what not to send...

One of the perils of the original system was the assumption that everyone had read the same source material as the people who wrote it (and at the time it was probably a very valid assumption); it would assume you'd read all of Moorcock's stuff and thus understood that Law was not 'laws as...

Tricky. To me, the top three are Captain America I, Spider-Man 2 (Tobey), and The Avengers. I'm kinda conflicted on the Spider-Man one - I like Garfield much better as both Spider-Man and Peter than Tobey, but the plotting in the first two Tobey movies was better. Superman 1 & 2 are still the...

Huh! I would have called myself at least a casual Bond fan but I can't remember ever seeing an actual symbol for SPECTRE before now. Interesting.

As far as I'm concerned, 5E did away with alignments. As you may have found by now, there are no alignment-based spells, no [Evil] spells, no alignment-based class restrictions (bards can be lawful, paladins can be chaotic evil or whatever) and the paladin ability Detect Evil doesn't... detect...

Binging Person of Interest Season Three

My dog says it comes highly recommended.

Originally, he seems to be all self-trained (then again his origin is like five panels long for decades). Later in the comics, it's more like it shows in Batman Begins: Bruce looks at being a policeman and a lawyer, and decides they are both too limiting, too concerned with the law over justice...

Well, the speculation was high that Wells was The Reverse Flash, the latest incarnation of which was that he was a total crazy person who wanted The Flash to be a better hero. He thought the way to be a better hero is to have terrible, terrible things happen to you and test you all the time, so...

It's a crossover. There will be multiple more instances of this, by the way. Felicity is probably one of the best computer hackers on Earth. She and Barry met in on Arrow before Barry became The Flash, and they hit it off. Felicity is still unsure how Oliver feels about her, but by now she's...
