Dungeons & Dragons: My Real Life Stats
If you’ve played enough Dungeons & Dragons (and you’re a nerd like me) then you’ve likely wondered at some point — What would my ability scores be as a D&D character? What class would I be? Alignment?
Mackenzie TittlePublished 2 years ago in GeeksJedi Fallen Order
So, before we get into this it’s best to deal with the massive elephant in the room first. I can’t stand dark souls, and I generally think these games are ruining a lot of franchises by conflating repetition with skill. For me, and a good number of others judging by what I’ve seen posted elsewhere, this makes for very, very boring games. I mention this now, because JFO has been described as having ‘souls’ mechanics (something else that bugs me, because it is far from being the first game where if you die you lose all your progress, but I digress). This made me hesitant to try the game, because as much as I have loved previous Star Wars games, that one detail has killed any enjoyment of a game for me before.
David HeymanPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy First Time as a Dungeon Master
Dungeons and Dragons has always been one of my favorite things in the world. From studying the lore to watching live streams of others playing, even going as far as playing myself! I've created countless characters over the course of a couple years (thanks, quarantine!), each with their own backstory and unique features. If I were to place myself somewhere on the spectrum between newbie and a veteran player, I'd say I would be somewhere in the middle.
M.N. NegusPublished 2 years ago in GeeksLet's Make the Avengers a DND Adventuring Party!
After writing my article on turning one of my favorite characters into a DND character, I was inspired to continue transforming Marvel characters into DND builds. Of course, I've decided to begin this pursuit by turning one of the most beloved Marvel teams into a DND party: The Avengers.
M.N. NegusPublished 2 years ago in GeeksWhy I Am Fine With Wordle
Wordle I have been avoiding Wordle for the same reason I avoided Led Zeppelin as a teenager, everybody was into them and I just didn’t want to be another face in the crowd. I suppose that is just the way I am , I seldom go with the flow which means i am often seen as weird or unconventional resulting in people being either frightened of me or shunning me.
Mike Singleton - MikeydredPublished 2 years ago in GeeksHow I Started Contemplating My Metaverse Avatar
When I was a child, I always wanted to be blonde. I had a feeling this hair color automatically makes your heart lighter, gets you more friends and gets you to become the life of the party. This association was created by a range of factors starting from Barbie dolls of my time being mostly fair-haired, Marylin Monroe iconic skirt performance, and up to a majority of comedy movies with blonde characters that seemed like easier and more approachable people. Silly stereotype reflecting how brainwashed media can get us. Now I am wearing a thick dark mahogany red hair color that is essentially black.
Oleksandra ZinevychPublished 2 years ago in GeeksRanking 'Madden Face of the Franchise' Games
Over the years, the Madden games have been rightfully accused of being rather cookie cutter. Single player "franchise mode" has been seen as little more than a roster update, with a few small changes here and there. On the whole though, it's followed the "college textbook" approach; a few small changes, but still charging at least sixty bucks for the "new one" every year. They get basic graphic updates as well, but barely enough to notice.

December 29, 2021: I'm not supposed to be here. Driving to my local Gamestop was not a part of my route today. I promised Mom that I would go to the grocery store. That was it.
Ronnie GonzalezPublished 2 years ago in GeeksFortnite: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Fortnite, one of the most played games in the whole entire world, aimed mostly at wee kids, or unless you're a streamer. Not like there's anything wrong for fully grown adults playing it. As after all, I'm 28 years old. Ok now what is good about the game? The main good thing about the game is the wide selection of firearms, ranging from carbine, snipers, shotguns, assault rifles, handguns, rocket launchers and ect. There's a wide range of costumes you can dress your characters. The costumes are very wide range of colours, although you will need a lot of V Bucks (game currency) and even then that isn't that cheap. The other thing to say is how simple it is to play whilst destroying other players and no I'm not a pro, just a semi professional if you will. I can quite honestly sink a lot of hours into the game, if I so chose to because it is a lot of fun still, after the constant updates ever since it first launched. I honestly didn't see the appeal back then.

Chloe GilholyPublished 3 years ago in GeeksShould Pokémon Get A Mature Version?
Since Pokémon Yellow was first released in 1998, its no secret that the vast majority of the games have been kind of... copy/paste. The stories are varied and a lot of mechanics are updated as the generations go on, but at the end of the day, "you are [BLANK] and you live in/move to town [BLANK]. Your rival/friend [BLANK] wants to beat you every time. You both get a Pokémon from Professor [BLANK] and both decide to do the gym challenge. Along the way you do errands and quests from people who you meet and they give you rewards that help you advance in the story. Along the way you meet Team [BLANK] who is trying to [DO BAD THING] and their leader [BLANK] who thinks you're a stupid kid, even though you keep beating him/her and his/her goons. Everybody tells you over and over again how great your bond with your Pokémon is, and once you finally beat Team [BLANK] you fight/catch [LEGENDARY POKEMON] and then defeat the Elite Four and your rival for the last time and become the champion."
Culture SlatePublished 3 years ago in Geeks'Marvels: Guardians Of The Galaxy' Video Game Includes A Beautiful Stan Lee Cameo
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has rocketed past the expectations of fans and critics into the fabled “good superhero game nebula.” After the tepid reception of Marvel’s Avengers (also by Square Enix), Guardians was a much needed boon to the Merry Marvel Marching Society. It is filled to bursting with Easter eggs from the greater Marvel universe, character skins, and an enriching story. It has closer ties to the comics’ Guardians than their movie counterparts. However, no Marvel property worth its red and white logo would be complete without a cameo from Stan “The Man” Lee. If the complete Guardian’s package comes together as a celebratory cosmic cake for the Guardians of the Galaxy, then Stan Lee's own cameo is the invincible, immortal, icing on top.
