Bleach, allergy relief, flights to Finland, your BMW, tax refunds, cat food, they all have their story to tell. Right?

Easily the part of Marvel’s upcoming Secret Wars I’m most looking forward to:
Steve Rogers (aka Captain America) and Devil Dinosaur (a super-strong, sentient, red T-Rex) as gladiators taking on all-comers in Greenland, so-called for its inhabitants (you won’t like them when they’re angry).

This is just perfect.
Watch this version of the shitty film, “Cocktail”, but with me in it.

What is a Roleplaying Game?
Now this is how you write a "What is a Roleplaying Game" section of a rulebook. #rpg #thelaundry pic.twitter.com/rLiwaM4fEt

Outstanding. The text reads:
The GM describes the scene for the other players and adjudicates the results of their actions, often by throwing some dice. So, it goes something like this:
Player: I open the door into the next room.
GM: You see an orc armed with a battleaxe guarding a chest.
Player: I enter into a frank and meaningful dialogue with the orc, validating his right to guard chests but not pigeon-holing him into a stereotype, in the hopes of restructuring the traditional adventurer/monster antagonistic relationship into something more positive and mutually beneficial.
GM: Roll 1d20 against your Charisma skill.
Player: I succeed.
GM: The orc is moved by your rhetoric. Casting his battle-axe aside, he sits down on the chest and invites you to join him in a brain-storming session about ways to revitalise the decaying subterranean infrastructure and society of the dungeon, perhaps with a —
Player: While he is distracted, I stab him with my sword.
Holy crap The Flash is amazing. I just watched the latest episode (in the UK) where we got some big reveals and it was awesome. So awesome. I really like Arrow, a lot, but The Flash is just so much fun!
If you’re thinking, “I don’t care about Dan wittering on about more superhero crap, what’s with the title?” Jesse Watkins, Rick Cosnett and Carlos Valdes (who are all in The Flash*) recorded an a cappella cover of the Serenity theme song as a thank you to Joss Whedon for backing their Kickstarter and it is beautiful:
The Kickstarter is for a short film:
A mother hides her family from slavery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The children have grown up with a tale of a man known as The Letter Carrier. As the legend goes, he roams the mountains looking for children to sell as slaves. Painted against this historical backdrop, it is a raw, mysterious, and interpretive fable. Told through a cappella song, using original folk music, spirituals and a score using only natural sounds.
This all only makes me love The Flash even more.
