This is how you remind me that Nickelback is what would happen if Rush wrote music that rocked.

Rush is, essentially, the smooth jazzeasy listening Nickelback.

 

[Gradine]

I'll add that, irrespective of your feelings on the source material, Postmodern Jukebox's Motown Tribute to Nickelback absolutely slaps

Hottest take- Tolkien blows, and seeing someone start talking about the importance of the Tolkien canon fills me with the same dread as when I hear someone say that I really don’t get why Rush is the bestest band evar.

If you remove the description of the trees the Lord of the Rings becomes a short story.

Is that what I really am?

C’mon. What has PROFESSOR TOL-KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN ever done for fantasy literature, anyway?

That story reminds me of a time I was on a city bus as we passed a Vietnamese-French restaurant, and one guy loudly, ignorantly and proudly declared. "That's stupid! People will come up with all kinds of ridiculous things these days. What do France and Vietnam have to do with each other?"

"You'd love feces pizza if only you'd try it..."

No, thanks. Really. I'm good.

"But..."

No.

"See, it's not that someone broke into your house and stole your stuff that's the problem. The real problem is that you don't want people breaking into your house and stealing your stuff. Just be okay with people breaking into your house and stealing your stuff and poof, no problem. Or have you tried not having stuff? Maybe try not having a house."

Nah. I'm gonna stick with the thief being responsible for thieving.

It's not like you to keep this joke going

 

[prabe]

I don't think I understand why that's even a question. The answer seems obvious.

I feel like this was a Matt Colville diss.

I love Matt Colville's Running the Game series, but his opinions on Lord of the Rings are rough to get through.

"Last of all Snarf stood alone. Then he cast aside his phone, and wielded a keyboard two-handed; and it is sung that the keys smoked in the black blood of the troll-posters of ENWorld until they withered, and each time that he slew Snarf cried: "Not misused legal terms! Not bards!" Seventy times he uttered that cry; but they took him at last alive, by the command of Morgoth, for they grappled him with their hands, which clung to him still though he hewed off their arms; and ever their numbers were renewed, until at last he fell buried beneath them and they forced him to eat pineapple pizza. And thus fell the mightiest thread-crafter of mortal men."

Whenever a thread comes up about player expectations, I always get the popcorn ready. You know some folks will march in declaring pre-Hickman Nintendo hard play to be the one true way of D&D. Then, in the next thread same folks are lamenting the fact that players dont play the game right anymore and they cant find anybody for their fantasy Saw RPG campaign.

 

[Cadence]

So are Indiana Jones and Star Wars canonically in the same universe?

Also, waiting for the flood of threads on how Magic being a billion dollar brand might be very short lived.

Same universe, different galaxy.

 

[Cadence]

Same universe, different galaxy.

Do we ever find out if Indy actually lives on our earth? Could there be a mirror earth in another galaxy? Do we ever see him looking at the galaxy or saying his planet is "Earth" or is in the "Milky Way"?

Is ET in something too?
