    Trailer Tron Ares trailer

    I was fully expecting, when we got the reaction shots to something coming through between some skyscrapers, for it to be a full-on carrier. Having it be a couple of Recognizers was a disappointment. One very noticeable thing is that we're basically only being shown one faction in this trailer...

    This one wasn't really on my radar, but the trailer has my attention.

    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    Depends whether it's a historically-accurate glaive or a Krull glaive.

    It rotates 360 degrees every day.

    The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie)

    The Hot Shots movies still hold up. I wouldn't port Sheen over from them, though - what he brings to the part isn't the same as what Nielson does.

    The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie)

    Well, the opening of the first one has exactly such a wild swing, with him beating up a roomful of evil dictators before falling out a window, so if the bank scene is a similar character intro it would be in keeping.

    Plus he's the face of a different zany comedy film franchise of the same era.

    D&D General Sandbox style: Rumors say a +1 sword is in a cave nearby. Go get it?

    Find a rival group of slightly-tougher adventurers in town, preferably ones who have a decent utility item or two between them already. Send in the bard and spread a rumour that the sword in the cave is actually a +2 sword. When the rival party goes to get it, follow them at a distance and wait...

    D&D 5E (2024) PC Gamer: It's clear Hasbro, the custodians of D&D, have no idea what to do with Baldur's Gate 3's success

    I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with WotC / Hasbro not having done more to tie into BG3 in the time leading up to its release. Its success was far greater than anticipated, with many thinking it'd be buried under Starfield's much-hyped release, so going all-in on it would have...

    The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie)

    It's hard to see why we need a new take on such a classic, but on the other hand I'll never say no to more Liam Neeson.

    Trailer Star Wars - Tales of the Underworld

    Ventress's scenes in the trailer seem to feature a lot of Clone Wars action, so I'm guessing it's more "how did she get from there to here?" Or both - these Tales stories have a tendency to feature a lot of time skips between episodes.

    Trailer Star Wars - Tales of the Underworld

    Ventress could be interesting, but I can't bring myself to be curious about a Cad Bane backstory, certainly not based upon what they show in the trailer.

    D&D General The D&D Memes Thread

    You know you've strayed to one of the rougher gaming cons when you notice that the DM's end of the table has chicken wire around it.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    It is at least potentially one. I don't know how much non-Paramount-produced content exists on Paramount+, but my impression is that it's not much. Licensing third-party content isn't really what they do.

    Trash TV Secret Shame

    Yeah, my closest thing to a TV secret shame would be Youtube movie and TV show reaction videos.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    It wasn't an official Star Trek production. It was produced by another company, and was crowdfunded.
