The Mighty Nein

Oh, they've finally released the trailer for the first season of The Mighty Nein! And it looks amazingly good!

I've gotta admit, I'm very curious to see what they end up doing for this series. While I love CR2, the fact that the pandemic happened in the middle of it and they had to unexpectedly take a multiple month hiatus really caused some disconnect in the campaign itself. They've already said they're reworking some plot-related things for the animated series, and I'm really hoping that will fix some of the campaign's weaknesses because the story itself is amazing.

I really wonder what they're going to do with the release schedule. For The Legend of Vox Machina, it's had twelve episodes per season and they've released it in four batches of three episodes each over the course of a month. This series is going to have hour long episodes instead of half hour ones, so I really wonder A. how many episodes the season will be and B. if they'll release it one episode a week.

My suspicion is that it will be eight episodes released weekly, since that's what Amazon does for other hour-long shows like The Rings of Power. We'll have to wait for them to officially confirm it, though.

Customer: "You know, you really do make things confusing for Christians during Lent."
Me: "Uh, may I ask how, ma'am?"
Customer: "I'm only allowed to eat fish, no red meat or birds, but you've moved this all the way over with the chickens!"
She waves a pack of duck breast around.

Wreckage Of Unusual Size

Posted by Jen

https://www.cakewrecks.com/home/wreckage-of-unusual-size-2025

In honor of one of the greatest movies of all time, I'd like to tell you a story.

It's a story of the man in black:

Who may or may not look like the Noid from those old Domino's commercials.

And also a beautiful princess:

It's a tale of fencing and fighting,

of torture and despair,

"I've just sucked one year of your life away.
Now I need a glass of milk."

...of chases, escapes, and, of course, twoo wuv.

Also known as "Twoo huv"

There's also a subplot of a son avenging his father's murder.

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to... What's this? A cake?"

"Oooh, are those cherries?
I mean, uh...
Prepare to die.
And also pass me that fork over there."

Together, our heroes will defeat an evil prince, a wily Sicilian, a six-fingered man...

and, of course, Rodents Of Unusual Size.

"Hi."

"Btw, you may want to watch out for those popping noises. Trust me."

Bye bye, Jennifer B., Emily M., Jefferey W., Colin & Jen, Jan Y., Jennifer W., Nicole V., Rysha M., & Melanie H.! Have fun storming the castle!

Oh, and before I go: Anybody want a peanut?

*****

P.S. Or, if you want the "official" retelling, there's always this:

The Princess Bride, Deluxe Edition Hardcover

It contains 50 lovely full-page illustrations, but not a single anthropomorphic peanut. Sorry.

The trouble was, the kids started buying the most sugary snacks, candy, and drinks they could, and ended up hyper for the next hour, then had a sugar crash and were irritable little horrors for the final half hour. Magically, they'd all be fine about pick-up time.

Customer: "Yeah, no problem."
Later, she arrives with a small car and a male friend.

When I was about six years old, a family friend had given me and my brothers his old Nintendo 64 and a bunch of games. One of those games was GoldenEye, a first-person shooter with realistic (for the time) weapons and violence. This happened when we went to a family gathering at our grandparent’s house. […]
