Legend of Wonder Woman was an 80s comic that consciously emulated the look and feel of golden age Wonder Woman.
Back when she was always getting tied up.

IDW Transformers phase 2 gets some good mileage out of under utilized G1 characters; like that time Swerve, Sunstreaker and Hoist were all stuck in a room 😅

The funniest thing about this cover is that the whole scene of Danny riding around the hotel is from the Kubrick movie that King famously hated 😅
Seriously. Danny walks around the hotel in the book.

Dr. Sleep (2019)
Ewan McGregor is such a fun presence, and Rebecca Ferguson as Rose the Hat has got to be a horror movie all time villain.

I’ve always considered Huang Zhong superior to Gan Ning, but Ning is clearly better in RTK8R.
Ning comes with an item that gives him a slightly higher war stat, he’s smarter/ less likely to fall for tricks, and his special ability craters the morale of enemies every time he defeats a unit 💪

Demolishing a massive but poorly led Liu Baio force is one of the ongoing highlights in Romance of the 3 Kingdoms games 🎉
Baio never has good warriors; despite Huang Zhong and Gan Ning hailing from his territory.
I recruited both last night- my strike force is now 💪 💪👏

Telling Stella the story of how I learned one of my most valuable life skills, staying inside for recess during grade school.

My leader married Gan Ning because they're the best possible couple: both of them have a special ability where they crater enemy morale whenever they defeat an enemy units; stacked together, they're pretty much unstoppable 🤩

The best adaptation of the Hobbit was the Rankin Bass cartoon.

This Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 cartridge has sat in my NES for 30 years, and my son wanted to look at it today.
I played that one all night, until the morning light, many times in high school 💝

With Warren Zevon in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I think Weird Al is now my leading nominee 💝
We had so much fun on our 2025 Bigger & Weirder tour that we decided we just didn’t want to stop. So we’re doing a bunch of shows next year too! If you missed it the first time around - or if for some crazy reason you want to see it again - now’s your chance!! Dates and info at weirdal.com on Monday

I've been thinking about the difference between "good enough" and "just right" a lot lately
When it comes to making games, especially the tent poles, Nintendo is committed to 'just right' and usually delivers.
And that's why eight years later, people still very much want to play these games.

Need to bitch once more about Nintendo prices because why has it GONE UP??? This game is 8 years old!!!!

Through 6+ games, the Trails series is always evolving.
Cool Steel added staggers, and it’s pretty good.
Basically different attacks have varying success rates at staggering enemies, which provides a rush or follow-up attack.
Staggers can be the margin between victory and defeat (was today🙏

Trashing Liu Biao AKA Big Softie in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake.
He outnumbered me 2-to-1, but Huang Zhong was his only hero.
My leader's special ability is that enemy morale falls when I defeat a unit; I focused on cratering his morale (the Yellow Bar) and his troops all ran away 😆

Enough time has passed: I’m low key curious to pick up Civ7 again, and see how much it has evolved over the past year.
But real talk: I kinda want to bust out Civ6 complete again. That game was just right in so many ways.
