I play Dungeons & Dragons on Adventure is Nigh! I watch bad movies on Best of the Worst. I perform Improv Comedy at Comedy Sportz. And somehow, I still think I’m pretty cool.

Episode 6 was one of the lightest cuts of the season, only removing about 50 minutes. It was pretty Role-Play heavy (which I loved) combat takes up the most of the cut time, as we're looking up rules and explaining what things do. Make sure to catch up before a new episode drops this Saturday.

Two editing timelines stacked on top of each other to showcase the difference between in-edited and edited footage.
The unedited timeline is about 1 hour and 50 minutes and appears as long, unbroken rectangles.
The edited time line is only about 50 minutes and is comprised of hundreds of tiny rectangles.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the tilting point from movies, back to the “Giant Sized Annuals” from its heritage. This is not a bad thing as the spectacle is is great. But I think they cut away too much of the theming to fit in more crossovers. Still a wonderful movie.

I think Nolan does fantastic work with adaptations, as we can see with Batman and The Odyssey: Though I DO understand people’s complaints that they’re not accurate to the source material. Specifically with The Odyssey… I mean to pull THAT story from the moderately priced mini-van! Wild.

"So, remember how instead of doing 'STAR WARS' as a movie once every few years they started doing TV shows of varying quality every few MONTHS and people kinda became indifferent to it like background noise? ...let's do that, but as a company that ISN'T a failure-proof global real-estate empire!"

Xbox brass wants more of its biggest franchises more often: Halo, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. Here's how we'd go about utilizing Xbox's remaining resources to make it happen. https://bit.ly/4gt7NEs

Season 5: Episode 4 of Adventure is Nigh! was pretty Role-Play heavy, which (as you can see below) means less cutting overall. Only scooped out an hour 20, AND i got to do my favorite impression durring the episode... annoyed David Lynch. Make sure to catch up before the new episode this Saturday!

Hey Y'all. It's that time of year again. Where I get all personal on social media and talk about some issues I have. If you're just here for the goofs, now's your chance to not read any further. For those of you ready to delve in...

A Steam sale is a great time to cull your Wishlist. If you have a game that's 90% off, now just $3.99 AND STILL sitting there... just remove it! You're never going to play it! (this is me, yelling at myself)
