*Guy on the subway sees my Dungeons & Dragons jacket*
G: Heeeey~! D&D!
D&D is the best!
Me: Yeah!
G: I had the craziest D&D thing happen to me...
(I assume we're going to talk about hus current campaign or playing when he was younger.)
G: I got in a bar brawl for real.
Me: Like, in real life?
G: Yeah, yeah, YEAH! A for real bar fight and, as it was happening, all I could think was "Aw shit, this is just like D&D!!"
Me: Okaay~
G: So I've got two dudes ready to kick my ass and I'm strategizing like it's all a game. Y'know, improve my armor class or disarm 'em or just anything!
Me: How'd that go?
G: HAHAHA, that's the craziest part!
G: In my head' I'm freaking out but I'm also thinkin' like "What would Dripwell my Dwarf do" y'know?!
Me: Sure.
G: Well, Drips would fuckin' go for their legs...
Me: So you-
G: So, that's what I did!
Me: Really?
G: Yeah, man and it was a nat 20! A complete tackle to the ground and that dude went down like a sack of potatoes!
Me: What about the other guy?
G: As soon as the first guy went down I scrambled over him and ran right the fuck out of there!
G: Drippy knows when to get the fuck out of a bad situation. Move those dwarf legs and ruuuuuun, amIright?
Me: Wow. I, uh, I'm glad you didn't get hurt.
G: My shoulder hurt for a couple days. Adrenalin and all that.
*Dude glances around and sees what station we're pulling up to*
G: Oh shit, this is my stop. Gotta go.
Me: Thanks for the story.
G: One more quick thing - Wanna know why my guy was called "Dripwell?"
Me: Sure.
G: Because he had a huge dwarf DICK yoooo~!
He steps off the train, but turns back to look at me with a big smile and a fist raised as he yells "D&D!!"
Everyone else packed on the train during rush hour looks at me like I'm insane.
I've been teaching Layout + Design and Animation History at Seneca College since 2004. I've taught a bunch of other courses, but those two have been constant.
Today is my last Animation History lecture and that feels so strange.
Seneca's Animation program is undergoing a major curriculum overhaul in September.
The new streams look amazing and will keep our grads on top of the changing industry but within that new structure Animation History as its own course is being phased out.
Concepts and examples from Animation History will be incorporated into drawing and design courses where relevant, but it'll be different from filling a lecture hall, watching each era of film and analyzing them.
I'm not a mainstay in the TTRPG streaming space and am not associated with Satine Phoenix, but I've gamed with her on several charity and promotional streams.
To be 100% clear here - that won't be happening in the future.
I have no doubt she would act very different in a public situation surrounded by streaming peers/celebrities and being recorded than in behind the scenes business interactions.
"They were always nice to me" is not a valid excuse.
Everybody deserves respect, credit and compensation for their efforts.
If you can't do that and leverage your visibility like a weapon I don't want anything to do with you.
This chapter covers some material never shown on panel in the comics before.
Logan arrived in Madripoor before World War I, but the earliest we've seen him there is the 1930's in a flashback from Wolverine Origins Annual #1 (2007).
Seraph sends Logan on a variety of missions and one of those is the first time he meets Victor Creed (the man known as Sabretooth), as shown in flashback in Wolverine vol. 3 #52.
Victor hates Logan after he killed his brother Saul (as shown in the Origin II mini-series).
When Logan returns to Canada to try and leave this mercenary life behind, he falls in love with Silver Fox, but she's slain by Victor, as shown in Wolverine vol. 2 #10.
