Why Greyhawk Still Feels Like Home in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons I started playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons when I was six or seven, sitting on the floor with my older brother and his friends. They had all the advantages—a paladin with a gleaming sword, a…

If Frodo Had Died: Why Merry Would Have Become the Ringbearer J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is built on choices, chance, and courage. Every decision—from who carries the One Ring to who enters the Mines of Moria—shapes the fate of Middle-earth. But w…

What if Frodo had died in Rivendell?

Pagan Narnia: Lions, Witches, Wardrobes, and world myth C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is often read through a modern or theological lens, but when we set aside those frameworks, the story begins to take on a different and much older …

Your preference is your preference. If others disagree, that's there prerogative, but you get to decide what you like best, with no apologies. While others have criticized him, I'll never forget the magic the first time I read the Iron Tower and Silver Call. That said, I do prefer Lord of the Rings.

RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD (2025) | Official Announcement Teaser YouTube video by WithAnO Productions

Horror comedy or not, the original returnofthelivingdead.com scared me as a kid worse than any other film--ever, and the trailer to the upcoming sequel looks amazing. But can it match the original's banger of a soundtrack from the Cramps, Roky Erikson, 45 Grave, T.S.O.L., & SSQ? #morebrains #tarman

Column: Leave it to the Chicago Bears to botch a coach firing even your Aunt Martha could see coming It took 32 seconds of national embarrassment for George McCaskey, Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles to finally concede what everyone else already knew. And even when the Chicago Bears brain trust decided th...

This Paul Sullivan quote rings way too true, especially with #JimHarbaugh there for the taking last year: "Expect [the #ChicagoBears] to go for someone they don’t have to give any real power to and will be blander than their last five coaches combined. Someone disposable by 2027."
