Anyone who writes off video games because they supposedly turn kids into violent criminals probably never played Minecraft with their friends in the middle of the pandemic. While the haters were twiddling their thumbs or melting their brains from reading Twitter all day, gamers were lovingly tending to their Minecraft farms and building complex underground cities with online friends. Sure, there are a lot of video games out there that contain mature content, but do you write off the rich narrat…

Though some purists might disagree, there's really no right or wrong way to get a campaign started. Whether you're an experienced Dungeon Master who painstakingly builds narratives from scratch, or you're new to the game and want to learn through pre-written adventures, any kind of campaign has the potential to be rewarding and memorable. It's all about how the game is played. A DM can methodically put everything perfectly in place and still watch the game unfold in very unexpected ways. One mi…

It's pretty remarkable that every generation since May 25, 1977 has had its own iteration of the Star Wars saga. Some believe that the Star Wars franchise ruined modern Hollywood with its sequels, prequels, and endless ocean of merchandise. These days, it seems like half the stuff that comes out is either reboot of a reboot of a reboot, or a Marvel blockbuster with a massive budget. But is Star Wars really to blame? Even the biggest snobs can't deny that the original trilogy was one of the most…

There's been a lot going on in the gaming world lately. Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard for about $70 billion. Sony is buying Bungie (perhaps to keep the Halo creator out of the hands of Microsoft). And of course, a bunch of new games are coming out, like Kirby and the Forgotten Land with its highly-anticipated “ mouthful mode .” But without gamers, the gaming industry wouldn't exist, and that's why we've put together this humble batch of dank gaming memes to honor the geeks. No unlockin…

Welcome back, paladins and rogues. It's D&D day. We've got all the dankest Dungeons & Dragons memes you'll want to share with the PCs before your next meetup. This week, we asked experienced DM Gnarly Rot to talk about his experience playing the game over the years.

People with very little imagination assume games like Dungeons & Dragons are a snooze, but what they don't know is that an exemplary game of D&D can be a thrilling and action-packed experience. All you need is a group of creative minds. A dungeon master's dice roll (followed by a dramatic moment of silence) can be the most intense juncture in the game, depending on what the DM is cooking. The most mundane actions have the potential to spiral into absolute chaos and mayhem, which injects tension…

Once upon a time there was a little girl with an evil stepfather and even eviler stepsisters who despised joyfulness and loathed humor. Her miserable family could hear a chuckle from a mile away and knew how to instantly turn laughter into tears with a single nasty remark. But the little girl had a wonderful fairy-godmother who secretly DM'd her hilarious memes . The memes were so funny, the little girl had to hide under five blankets to suppress her joyful giggles. Then one day, the little gir…

Sometimes it feels absurd to "curate" memes . They've become so ubiquitous that they're nearly impossible to miss when navigating the internet. Group chats can have entire conversations using memes and gifs without ever typing a single word. It helps that there's a meme for literally everything these days. Celebrity do something insane? MEME. Controversial political scandal? MEME. Remake of a nostalgic franchise coming out? MEME. Asinine TikTok trend inexplicably go viral? MEME. It's sort of li…

Another round of D&D memes

If your noggin feels slow and spent from entering figures into another excel spreadsheet or catering to annoying Karens it's safe to say that you deserve a little respite from the pain. If rich people are allowed to go on jaunts to space, or dodge taxes, you should be able to take a break to sit back, relax and enjoy some fun with these memes .
