I need to watch the last one in the trilogy at some point! Though honestly I mostly remember the first movie for the gnarly bread slicer scene.

Coincidentally, I've been replaying Valkyria Chronicles 4 (aka Waifu X-Com) lately.

In other news, I finally got to play a one-shot of #Daggerheart at a con! And. Uh. It's ... okay? My friend and I basically joined a bunch of players that'd been together for literal decades, so I dunno how much awkwardness was due to the system, or how much was 'cause we didn't know the in jokes

I know it'd be terrible, but I'd love to see this RE movie cross over with the old ones just so the dude could watch Milla Jovovich do backflips and go "What the fuck!?" over and over.

After a several month hiatus, the muzak radio station at work has put the "Fucking in a Van Song" back into rotation. Now you all must suffer too. Seriously, it sounds like a Ninja Sex Party song, played completely straight.

Oh hello, #WriterShareWedneday. THE CATAPHRACT OATH is a genre-bending mashup of the rollicking spirit of THE THREE MUSKETEERS and the hard-hitting giant robot action of GUNDAM (or whatever your favorite mecha show happens to be). Available on KU!

The cover of Marc Edmond Best's THE CATAPHRACT OATH. It depicts a white-armored steampunk robot standing with a sword in one hand and its other arm outstretched. A dashing woman with a rapier and a plumed hat stands on the robot's outstretched hand.

I mean, they explicitly note this role may not fit someone living in the US, but I'm still vaguely curious anyway ...

I am way behind schedule, as it's nearly October and I have no idea what I'm gonna dress up as for Halloween. I've got three weeks to get my shit together before my friend's annual banger of a party. It doesn't help that one of my first thoughts is "What if I buy some chainmail?"

Went out for lunch with a friend of mine, only to find there was a farmer's market set up right next to the bar, and now I've got 4 lbs of frozen rabbit meat. Do I know how to cook rabbit? No. Will this stop me from trying at some vague point in the future? Also no.

My old boss has asked me to give his new book a social media bump, because he has wisely chosen never to set up his own account! So I’m happy to announce that ‘Britain’s Slave Traders: A Hidden History’ is available today in all good bookshops! www.penguin.co.uk/books/460026...

if Eliezer Yudkowsky was born into a somewhat poorer family and missed a couple lucky breaks, he’d have ended up as an archetypal specimen of your friend’s older cousin who keeps boa constrictors and makes you listen to him talk about quantum physics in his parent’s basement in exchange for weed

ALSO a valid question. I'm just being nice and using B5 as an example as something I just don't know enough about.

Looks like a fun book (and I kinda like the concept of the X-men being Big Damn Heroes while the Avengers are slacking). But who's the one dude next to Firestar on the right, there? Guy's got Gambit's headpiece but the eye color's wrong. It's not, like, Shatterstar, is it? This vexes me.

It really is! Like, there's a whole mess of IP's I could absolutely rock, if given a dump truck full of money. But on the other hand, if someone asked me to write, like, Babylon 5? I wouldn't know where to start.

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

On the one hand, I'm not sure how this ties into the continuity of Don't Breathe. On the other, this may be the best giant spider movie since Big Ass Spider.

The main selling point of a #TTRPG is not mechanical. It is PREMISE. What do you do in the game? Why? This is why "genre-less rules engines" like GURPS have not slowly consumed and spit out the market leaders. "It can be ANYTHING!" "NO! In #Dnd you go in holes and murder things for gold."
