. Someone else has to be pondering the fact that IPAs are to dudes what the PSL is to chicks.... Uh, they're easy for niche brewers to make, okay (not great) and while you expect at least one in any sampler pack, you're getting sick of how they have become at least 5 out of any 12 such variety pack...

Ironically, at least idiot and moron were once also words that mean the R word and/or crazy in the relatively distant past, or at least close in meaning since our understanding of these concepts was worse. If you look through 19th century census reports, you can find official counts of the number o...

Looked at the last heartbreaker I was considering, years back now. I was starting with mechanics and class differentiation schemes and never even finished that. But the placeholder magic split I had was: Might - physical enhancement, healing, dancing weapons, blade barrier, etc Sleight - trickery, s...

The overall problem with the franchise is that the 1977 film was a true cultural milestone. It shifted the entire film industry (production, marketing, release schedules, target demographics, etc), the popular perception of science fiction as a genre, how toys were marketed for my entire childhood a...
