Holy fuck!

I kid you not: I went from butterflies in my stomach dreading that my childhood obsession was about to get the 'Transformers' treatment, to laughing so hard that my mom had to elbow me as to not ruin it for the other watchers.

Honestly, for me? This was on par with the original. They nailed the tone and cast in this one, without the characters being gender-flipped carbon-copies of the originals.

Really, really liked it.

Wasn't even going to go see it originally since I generally dislike 'hero vs hero' stories, but this one did it really well. The moral dilemma that split the party, so to speak, felt genuine. That the stakes were genuinely so high that it made sense for the heroes to come to blows over them.

Recently, I've been very interest in the solutions to nonlinear systems of equations. Something interesting about the solutions to non-linear equations is that some systems—I'm not willing to say all definitively—have attractors: essentially points on the graph that any value withing some interval leans toward. Essentially, taking the system

Gree-tings, hu-mans.

I come in peace from the blasted wastelands of planet Skype, to join you in this, the far-off space year 2018 and this strange new but verdant realm known to some only as: 'LOD-Has-Finally-Dusted-Off-His-Two-Rocks-Banging-Together-And-Moved-On-To-A-Gosh-darned-Discord-Account.'

It's name sounds more dignified in it's native tongue, no doubt. And Welsh.

That’s right folks. Life, The Universe, and Everything, the best writing convention there is for Sci-Fi and Fantasy is almost upon us! In two days the doors will be open, the con will start, and the knowledge and geekery will reach critical levels of awesome.

I've watched this stupid short like... 8-11 times the last few days? And it just makes me grin each time I replay it.

Not sure if it's quite as amusing for non-Swedes, but hey, thought I'd share.

Borguflung is nonsense in at least Swedish, though. 'Borg' means castle/keep, but sure it's just meant to sound funny. Amusing nonsense, though!

Some of you guys might know him. He goes by Life of Boris.

Bit of an inspiration for me. Barely knew a thing about Slavic culture or food before I started watching him. I was vaguely aware of squatting, track suits and vodka, but that was about it.

He's always been weird, but normally he's cool-weird. Like that time he made a computer run on vodka.

Don't have anything to add to that, really, just felt it needed a share. Hope you guys enjoy.

Hey readers! I just wanted to give you a heads-up on a new writing site I learned about through the circles I’m in: Penclash!

Some useful advice in this one.

AND hilarious snark. Can't go wrong with that combo.

...Have I actually talked about this show before? I'd really recommend it at any rate. Even if you're not a writer yourself there's some good art & humor in every episode. And on a nice variety of themes, too.

I so called the dog actually being a kitsune thing!

Other then that... A really cool act 2, but would have liked a little bit more story pay-off.

Still, going to be extremely intriguing to see where this story is actually going.

So, thanks to the recent Steam sale and some Genuine crap if you know what I mean, I recently upgraded my copy of Dark Souls 2 to the Scholars of The First Sin version.

(Very impressive upgrade. Well worth the 2,5€ I paid for it due to the loyalty discounts and sale discount apparently stacking this one time. Highly recommended if you haven't already, and are itching for some Dark Souls.)

Anyway...

I've mentioned this a few times in the comments, but I'm a huge fan of this web-series called...

Well, Lost In Adaptation.

It's made by a dude that calls himself The Dom, and is about the differences between the original book and the movie adaptation/s.

Really high production standards, easy to understand with great plot synopses, and quite often hilarious.

I'm quite a fan of Dark Souls. Not sure if I've ever mentioned it, but it did take quite a few play-throughs and lore videos before I wrapped my head around the famously (intentionally) scattered and vague story.

So color me surprised, when some chap managed to boil it down to a ten minute video, and make it a damn pretty and well narrated one at that.

Naturally, spoiler warning.

Sauce. Four grate justice.

My first time through Skyrim was without any of the DLC, and I lost interest and drifted away from it. However, last summer I got myself the GotY version, and I've recently started playing again.

And since people will ask...

What if I told you that there's a new Anime series out on Netflix, for all you fans out there of mecha, dragons, and vore?

And it's freaking adorable?

Full disclosure: 'Only' seen two episodes yet, but considering that's a sixth of the episodes out right now (IE, 12) I felt confident enough I've been enjoying it to recommend it to you guys.

With a sudden bang the weakened airlock door burst outward, slamming into the cutter and knocking the tech over on the tarmac. Someone screamed as something large and armored shot out of the opening, slamming into the other exosuit and driving it into the ground, claws digging deep through the metal.
