This is a 100% true story and I blushed furiously in remembrance just writing this tweet lo these many, many years later.
(The actual answer was “exclamation”, which I could barely hear over the din of laughter + the searing humiliation, and I’m still kind of mad because my answer was also VALID AND CORRECT. But I think even the moderator had keeled over in weepy hysterics at that point. Such is life.)
Thank you, inappropriately-placed period in this Google search result snippet. You are wonderful.
So, I adore this. Potential (mild-ish, thematic, non-plot-integral-but-still-cool-so-avoid-it-if-you’ve yet to play) spoilers here I suppose. But I love this version so much, and I want to share it with all y’alls non-gaming people. Because it’s so lovely! See also:
So this thread on Reddit sure is a nightmare factory, huh?
Oh for crying out loud, Downton Abbey….
Sometimes friends play chess with each other.
Sometimes they play on their phones for $20 a game.
Sometimes they are BOTH truly terrible chess players, having played only a few dozen times in their lives, but one of them is slightly less terrible than the other.
Sometimes the slightly less terrible one wins game after game after game in a row.
Sometimes that makes the other one mad.
Sometimes they have fun texts and tweets about it.
(we are still playing, but @kevinseccia refuses to gamble anymore! Which makes it significantly less fun, it turns out! Also, related, it’s possible I have a gambling problem! WHO WANTS TO BET ON IT?!)
Currently based out of Paris, France, Thierry Cohen is considered a pioneer in digital photography and technique since beginning his career in the mid-1980′s. In Cohen’s newest series, “Darkened Cities”, he photographs cityscapes to reveal the night sky that is impossible to see due to modern light pollution. The truth is…these images are actually unattainable and do not exist.
Cohen traveled to remote rural locations (the Atacama, the Mojave Desert, the Western Sahara) that precisely shared the same latitude as the cities that he selected for his series to take photos of the clear night sky. He, then, superimposed the stars with their respective darkened cityscapes in order to get the most accurate image of what the night sky would look like. (via)

I’m normally a big fan of classic pinup art, but something about the combo of the expression on this woman’s face (it sincerely looks like she’s saying “derrrrrr? HUH?”), and her giant, completely down-around-the-ankles bloomers is just so DEEPLY unsexy and forced. Pull your pants up, lady. You’re at a bus stop. Come on.

Nerd Poker: Let the Game Begin!
Welcome to the first episode of NERD POKER: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS WITH BRIAN POSEHN & FRIENDS! Join Brian Posehn as he engages in a weekly game of D&D with his funny friends Gerry Duggan (co-writer of Marvel’s Deadpool), Blaine Capatch (Comedy Central’s Beat the Geeks), Ken Daly (The Usual Suspects), Sarah Guzzardo (AvoidThisJob.com), and Dungeon Master Scott Robison (Mr. Sark). This week they explain the game of D&D, introduce their characters, and embark on their adventure aboard a pleasure cruise.
So this is a thing I did/am doing with some friends. Still adjusting to this edition, but it’s been fun!
