Re: Moments when a piece of entertainment completely rocked you.

The movie "Alienoid" has kung fu wizards in it. It is to dumb fun kitchen sink action adventure movies what Marvel movies wish they were. And while it may be stupid it doesn't think its audience is all that stupid. Without spoilers I refer to the suit, the hand gun and the mute house maid...

From my view in Western PA, it looks like Fetterman picks up a PA Senate Seat for the Dems, but lose the Governership due to Wolf being term-limited.

Okay, Den. This local homemade soap shop has your needs covered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGa6jV1s1Qk

Even better, they currently have a capital-raising campaign going on through a crowdfinancing site. This is your chance to be a bag of dicks profiteer. (Or to lose money trying to be such)

Are bullets that much cheaper than poison or electricity or a good old noose of hemp rope? More reliable?

Re: Annoying Game Questions You Want Answered

Ok, so was reading LotR again, and towards the beginning Gandalf mentions (in passing) that Sauron has werewolves working for him. Apparently LotR werewolves are evil, which seemed odd in that Beorn (and his kin) is basically a werebear and a good person. And it struck me that in AD&D (at least...
