This is one that requires a little context. It was during a Mutants and Masterminds (basically superhero D&D) game. My character, Lars Heimdallsen (son of Heimdall, the Norse God) and his companions had just defeated an evil sentient book that was attempting to take control of the high school...

Oh god, my ribs hurt from laughing On Topic, it's happened a couple of times, I think, but never by anyone I've spent an extended period of time with. I don't exactly give out a gay vibe (because I'm not). Nothing really that memorable.

'You tossers! You had one job to do!' Which comes from the one cockney character in the film, strangely enough.

Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher. He's supposed to be a super-badass monster hunter and also has a nasty rep as a murderer (the 'Butcher of Blaviken'). He (you) can beat most opponents in a swordfight one, two, or three-on-one without overwhelming difficulty, and Sure, you can mess up...

Jumping on the Dark Messiah bandwagon with this one and driving that wagon as far away as fraggin' possible from QTEs. In some games they work fine but not in a 1st-person action sword RPG. Also behind Monkey on the weapon weight thing.

Gods be good. Y'know, I've never been that into DC, and even when I did foray into it, said forays were limited. I've picked up enough from others to get something of an understanding. New 52 I'd heard basically nothing about, so when I saw the stuff about the Lobo redesign I was rather...

I'm glad someone else brought up the piece of excrement that is the 2008 Alone in the Dark. I bought the goddamn special edition of that game because the box looked cool. God it was awful. The only part I found entertaining was beating up zombies with a chair/fire axe/whatever I could find.

The first one I remember was Age of Empires, which I got in a cereal box. Could've been Settlers, though, my dad used to play that a lot and I'd sit and watch him.

I was doing a podcast about the Alien franchise, and one of the co-hosts, who plays up the meathead stereotype to the max, read something off his computer. It must have been rare info or something, because I said 'wow, that's impressive.' I hadn't intended for it to sound sarcastic, but it...

I have trouble enjoying a series when the main character seems to be pants-on-head insane, and not in a good way. He lectures people on how many lives they've ruined after wading through the corpses of their security personnel. He choked his bodyguard into unconsciousness, and that's never...

Let's postpone the apocalypse

That's..... that's uncanny. Maybe Jason Momoa is in fact from THE FEWCHA!! On Topic, I know pretty much nothing about Guardians of the Galaxy. I like Momoa more than Bautista though (apparently I'm one of the few who liked the 2011 Conan.

Hot Fuzz. There are movies I like more that this one, but on any given day of the week, I can pick up my DVD of Hot Fuzz and I know I will be entertained and laugh my arse off. The writing is excellent, and it's actually a good action film as well as a comedy.

About three months ago I cut my right index finger to the bone trying to cut apart some PVC pipe. now the first knuckle (as in, not the one below the nail, the one below that) seizes up at random. Easy enough to work out, though, and more an inconvenience than a serious hindrance.

I have been both Keeper and player of this fantastic game ever since my college friends were kind enough to purchase the rulebook as a 19th birthday present. Are there any others among you who also tread the streets of Innsmouth, or plumb forgotten temples for relics that test the very fabric of...
