Over at Geekerati, Luke Y. Thompson, writer-critic-editor has a review of the new 4K release of Cutthroat Island. Is it time to reconsider this entry in the pirate genre?

A fictional character's death that you have NOT gotten over😑

I am now an Orioles fan.

I don't often disagree with Eric, but I do here.

One of the reasons I love gaming is to take a few moments to step away from the world and connect with my friends rather than with the constant stream of information that dominates our lives.

Some touch grass. I touch dice.

If it ended like the book and original film, I'd agree. Then I wouldn't have to pretend that the Equalizer movies were sequels, because they would be.

Spring is here. Achoo!

My only critique of Carolyn Komatsoulis's article imagining Boise as a video game is that I wanted it to be longer. I'm imagining a Tom Wolfe 'Last American Hero' style exploration of the topic.

Her discussion of the 84 connector was spot on!

Kyle's book is great and his online resources have been vital as I've been growing in my data analysis skills.

It's national pet day! Time to cuddle kitties and run statistical models!

Arkansoft approves of the Andrew Gelman, Jennifer Hill, and Aki Vehtari methods book.

The logo used as the 'Grey Code' is literally Jedi Order symbol.

There is no Grey Code. There was a misunderstanding by Yoda and his era regarding the value of love, compassion, and connection. That's a failure to understand virtue, not evidence of 'grey.'

Grey is fetch

Because 0-level humans (you know regular people in history) have 2-5 hp. Sedentary people (modern people) have 1-4 hp period. They also have a Con of 10 with no HP bonus.

Also, that's a short sword.

My friend Luke Y. Thompson, writer-critic-editor has been covering fan conventions for years, but last month he had his first encounter with Bonnet Heads (fans of Little House on the Prairie). He was kind enough to share his coverage with my Geekerati Newsletter.

This is how Were-Southerners are created.

How many subsystems is too many subsystems?

For initiative in OD&D that answer is 'we can always add one more.'

Today is the 20-year anniversary of Badass of the Week. It all started with a silly one-paragraph fan post about Darth Vader that I typed in Notepad and posted on my geocities site back in April 2004, and since then I've written thousands of articles and published over a dozen…

Look, the new RIPLEY series is great. Patricia Highsmith is great.

I still think the world needs more Eve Gill movies. As my wife says, 'It's Spring. It's time to watch STAGE FRIGHT.'

Someone: Christian, why are you less critical of Eternals than a lot of critics?

Me: The Eternals have always been an awkward fit for Marvel in the comics, so I expected a similar challenge in the film. Also, Don Lee is awesome.
