Duly noted, but I don’t think anyone would mind, Dad. We’re pretty used to your antics and it would be cool given the circumstances.

Top 64 Videogames
Lists of 'best games ever' are dumb and annoying. But like a self-loathing hipster I made one anyway.
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?

Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
Dear Hollywood: Do a Mash Reboot
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
Small typo in the first balloon, “Saurman”.
Noticed it too, but thought maybe it was intentional? Players usually have a hard time remembering names like Saruman, which was definitely made up by the DM at the last moment.
It IS in the original, after all
There’s definitely a joke later where Aragorn thinks Saruman was also Sauron. This may or may not be part of it.
Nope, it was intentional. A commentary on how players don’t actually remember the DM’s high-fantasy names, but also part of the standard “So is this Saruman or Sauron we’re talking about now?”
The two similar-named top villains are the one point I can recall in the LotR commentaries when there was an active grumble about the source material; “wouldn’t do it that way today” or some such.
The jokes are what make the webcomic, but I love how Shamus was able to get such great screen grabs. Just a tremendous match between the line and the visual in panel 5.
This one really does hit differently.
