i sat through 5 minutes of her rambling without being able to make a coherent point before i just turned the video off. look, i don't like brie larson really at all, but pull it together lady.

i know this isn't the thread for it... but i hope businesses keep giving lip service and i hope these people keep telling everyone that it's not enough. and then i hope these businesses figure out how nonsensical these shifting goal posts are and just stop getting involved in "movements" and...

yeah, definitely. and i think you can make bigger theatre out of humiliating failures if you take the time to make the players feel heroic on a regular basis. you basically build up credit with them and when the time comes when a nat 1 shows up you can really bury them in hilarious failure. the...

I think a lot of that comes from people's innate desire to be the hero, you know? It's very much a maturity thing, but it can be a temptation even to fudge dice rolls when they aren't rolling in your favor. I talked about it a while ago, but my DM doesn't narrate natural 1's and the like as...

i can only think of like, 2 people who didn't really promote anything when they went on hot ones. henry rollins (from what i remember) was pretty bashful about promoting himself and paul rudd outright refused to promote himself. but outside of that, everyone promotes what their doing. that's...

hawkeye doesn't have any superpowers, he's just been trained as a marksman since a very young age. interestingly, he's the only (or one of the only )person who's reliably been able to throw cap's shield.

from what i remember, black widow is serum enhanced just like nick fury. she's basically an olympic level athlete with a genius level intelligence and extended life span. she is by all definitions, a super spy. she works best as an intelligence agent, but when push comes to shove she's got...

this is my complaint as well. i can get passed the whole "they have no lives" part as i don't want to sit through a bunch of pretentious college nonsense. but the characters themselves don't feel real. they feel like set pieces and plot points with no internal motivation. in one scene "guys, we...

so... i don't like her. i never have. but there's a very brief moment when she's talking about her reasoning for doing a youtube channel that certain things start to click about her. like a lot of actors, she is utterly self-conscious about who she really is. she wants people to like her, but...

we play with fantasy grounds and it's very similar. we started using it because we were all over the place geographically but once a year we all get together and play in person. we still have a screen setup with the maps and whatnot just because it's so much easier

it won't be blurred, it'll just have some crazy lens flare,

fohporn part 3?

No, it's not holy. It's a glorified board game; the point of which to get some friends together and have a good time doing what you love. If you need to change some rules around to make it YOUR home game, then go to town. My DM doesn't use random encounters, and if he does we just roll a d20 to...

The raise dead spells all have a material cost. I played a campaign where the king hoarded all the diamonds and made it illegal for citizens to have any specifically so that raise dead just wasn't an option. The thing that I like about 5e more than the other editions is that everything in the...

i've said it before in this thread, this is one of those games i always wish i could go back and experience for the first time again. the thrill of diving into a new area with new creatures, new sounds... then that rush of endorphins when you get back to safety... the developers wanted a...

I much prefer fantasy grounds but there's no real online presence for it. Roll20 has the online interconnection all baked into it. I'd say if you already HAVE a group, fantasy grounds is better. If you are LOOKING for a group, roll20 is what you're looking for

he very subtly called out all the BLM pandering as well. i'm guessing he didn't get specific with it because he didn't want any backlash from it, but he was like, it's time to stop all these symbolic gestures and do something that will ACTUALLY help. though, just like EVERYONE else, he just...

binging a show vs watching weekly also has merit from a business standpoint. if a show is watched weekly, you have a week to sit back and actually THINK about the time commitment the show takes from you. you have an entire week to think about what worked, or what didn't. that CAN create a lot of...

The thing about Eldritch knights is that even if you run into a creature who is magic resistant or resistant to fire/cold/etc, you still have the attack progression of a fighter. I've played with a few Eldritch knights and they don't usually do TONS of damage every round, but they ALWAYS seem to...

i don't know anything about cohh's part, but jesse cox's quest sounds pretty great

i absolutely concur. one of the theatres i used to go to (that i've since moved away from, no idea how long they kept doing it) had all kinds of novelty flavors and they almost never got used. flavacol and plain salt is really all there is

i guess it depends... how much are the boogers?

this totally isn't the thread for it, but i don't think it's a guy/girl thing. some of my best friends were girls and they did the exact same thing. got married, then dropped off the face of the planet. first year of marriage is hard in ways that NO ONE prepares you for. you focus all your time...

as far as the dialogue goes... it's pretty clear they are trying to hide some heavy story beats... it COULD be just that they are purposely showing generic dialogue to not tip into spoiler territory. or it could all just be poor writing.

the feels, bro... they are real.

they said that certain missions are heroic missions or whatever they called them, that are focused on a single hero. i'm GUESSING that the game starts out with kamala khan's "heroic' missions. maybe the game starts with first mission being a tutorial of sorts where you play through "A-Day" or...

you don't become the emperor, you become one of the dark council members. but yes, the dark council gets streamlined and half the members get disolved. the later expacs phase out individual stories so you're generally playing the same story no matter what class. and this means that the...

personally, i'd agree 100% on that. but i also don't have any kind of amazing theatre set up at home. so i have all kinds of reasons to still go see a movie in a theatre. but i'm also a dying breed, methinks

i HAD real life friends. then i got married. then i moved away from my friends to be with my wife. then my friends got married and moved away. then i got divorced and, yes, have no real life friends. i only have internet friends.

At face value, yeah that's true. However, since I'm not making popcorn everyday, it sits in the garage collecting dust. If I want to make authentic movie popcorn I need to lug that thing out, clean it up, grab the right oils, realize I didn't stock back up when I used it last month, go to the...

you guys are mental. the only real benefit to seeing a movie in a theatre vs a home theatre nowadays is the theatre has better popcorn.

Many years ago, I worked in the mall of America and kiddy corner to my store was this steak restaurant. The manager owuld always wander over on his breaks just to get away from the idiots that worked for him. Anyway, one day he lets skip that he's an ex Navy seal and everyone is like, WHOA...

i hear you on the authenticator... i love it because i tend to take breaks for months upon months. it's nice to come back to a pile of cartel coins

like we said, the class stories from 1-50 is free for everyone. if you aren't currently subbed you'll level a little slower and you'll have to do the planet stories to stay on par with the quest levels. if you created an account in 2011, whether you subbed or not, an expac that was released...

right out of the gate a f2p account will be able to play all the class stories 1-50. if you sub for a month you'll get all the expacs up to the point you subbed. you'll get a bunch of stuff for subbing though. something like 1600 cartel coins per month, exp buffs, unlimited group content...

oh, i definitely think it's evil. i was just saying that THEY don't refer to themselves as evil. what THEY are doing, they think is normal and proper. just like how an orc thinks raiding and pillaging is normal and proper. it's absolutely evil, but what does the villian see when he looks in the...

honestly i don't have a problem with wizards trying to redefine the alignment system... it's something that has no real world parallel. i also think that describing a race as "evil" is sort of silly. what's evil to humans isn't evil to orcs or drow. drow don't twirl their moustaches while...

this is where it starts... but someday (and at this rate, someday soon) we are going to get an official write up on how mindflayers aren't evil, they are just reacting to the other races oppressing them onto the endangered species list.

swen mentioned co-op in an interview he did after the d&d live gameplay. he didn't go super in-depth on it, but he did confirm it'll be in
