Into the clearing rides a mounted warrior in mismatched armor and a batwinged helmet. They have their own language, which is presumably what this sprite’s babbling is supposed to be.) Sprites - you can tell it’s a sprite and not a pixie because of the antennae - can become invisible at will. Giant slugs have rubbery hides and can spit acid of course they can. Giant slugs are part of Gary Gygax’s fascination with animal gigantism - the entry for “Skunk, Giant” is in the column opposite the giant slug stats. ( Geek aside: Both giant slugs and sprites are listed in the original Monster Manual. The sprite then takes off, wisely leaving Dungeon Master to his fate. Dungeon Master, hearing Eric in the distance, says, “Come! My young adventurers are in need of assistance.” The sprite, high on reds, Vitamin C, and cocaine, speaks in a rapid-fire gibberish in which only “uh-oh” and “danger” can be understood. While Eric is spazzing out in the Forest of Know Trees, Dungeon Master approaches the party from the absinthe dream next door, riding a giant slug and accompanied by sprite dressed in green. In The Two Towers, the ents awaken to battle the evil orcs, eventually pulling apart the fortress of the orcs’ master, Saruman.) Treants’ similarity to ents is evident from the Monster Manual entry: In its four paragraphs, it mentions ents “hate evil things” and notes the effects of their attacks on fortifications. Tolkien’s ents with the serial numbers filed off. It’s interesting the show avoids using the D&D name of the species so it can deliver a dodgy pun, given that treants are already J.R.R. ( Geek aside: The “Know Tree” is probably a treant. Uni probably agrees with the Know Tree on a lot of issues, and even it seems frightened. I think I’d be scared too if a plant came to life and started criticizing my views on how the world operates. We’re supposed to find Eric’s flailing fear hilarious, but I don’t know. “Trees don’t know anything!” Eric says, and of course the tree he’s leaning against comes to life, scaring him to death as it objects to his biological discrimination. For her less intelligent friends, Diana counts out the letters of the homophones as she spells them and unfortunately comes up with “five” as the number of letters in K-N-O-W. Dungeon Master didn’t “no,” meaning zero Dungeon Master meant “know,” as in to recall or remember. (Giving up will become a theme for him this episode.) Wasting time thinking will just give you premature wrinkles.īut Diana has spent the time (and accumulated the potential for worry lines) to figure out the riddle. Good to know you’re already throwing in the towel, Presto. “Who knows what he really meant?” Presto asks. “How can you have a forest with no trees?” Like, omigosh, Eric’s totally got DM pegged. “Dungeon Master’s an airhead!” Eric responds. (Perhaps the Realms sacrificed the development of cartography for the development of racial sensitivity, as seen in “ The Hall of Bones.”) Hank says, “Dungeon Master said we’d find a clue to help us get home in the forest with no trees.” Since we never see them with maps or revisiting a place, that makes sense you’re always going to be lost when everything’s Terra Incognita. This is a quick way of letting us know the episode is starting with Opening Variant #1: The kids are lost. Since that is technically piracy, I will also point out - without judgment - that you can buy the series cheaply on physical media.)Īs the kids are wandering through the forest, Eric raises cogent questions about Hank’s leadership - i.e., that Hank has no idea where they are or where they’re going. If you want to follow along with this recap, you can watch “In Search of the Dungeon Master” on Youtube. If you want to read my recaps in order, go here. (If you need background on Dungeons & Dragons, you can read the introductory post. It introduces bullywugs, and Dungeon Master is incapacitated for most of the episode, so it’s a good show, in my book. But he is the person who wrote the most Dungeons & Dragons episodes (nine), and this is his first. Jeffrey Scott isn’t as well known as Paul Dini, who wrote episode #3 and co-wrote #4, or Mark Evanier, who developed the series and wrote episode #1 and co-wrote #2.

Absolutely necessary to follow the story.this is really not a series you can pick up without having started from the beginning. It may not be memorable, but it was just as easy and exciting to follow as the rest. This book was not quite as memorable for me as the first book or had as much impact as the third book in the series, but that may be because I have waited to rate these books.

Radner once said that "Having cancer gave me membership in an elite club I'd rather not belong to" and in 1991, a support group to raise awareness of cancer called Gilda's Club was founded. Her widower, Gene Wilder, created an ovarian cancer detection center and testified before Congress about ovarian cancer awareness. A tearful Steve Martin introduced a clip of a skit featuring Radner and himself dancing. She died on a Saturday, just before a new episode of SNL was to air. She had been scheduled to host an episode of SNL between her bouts of cancer but a writers' strike ended the season prematurely. She was re-diagnosed with cancer in early May and died within the month. For Radner, the true tragedy was that her cancer had been misdiagnosed several times, and though it was treated and went into remission, its return struck too quickly to cure. She died in 1989 at the age of 42 after a second battle with ovarian cancer. Original cast member Gilda Radner, known for her vibrant characters like Roseanne Roseannadanna and Baba Wawa, became the second cast member to pass away. Due to his untimely death, the sequence never aired. The footage was part of a running gag during the opening credits, where the episodes' guest-star would meet an untimely demise before the show even started. In one of his final television appearances, Belushi was filmed dead and face down in a swimming pool for the opening sequence of the show Police Squad. The Battle of Wardenglade: A violent battlefield awaits between the Mason Order and the Agathian Knights.It’s time for your final push with the help of siege towers and siege ramps as you attack the stronghold and kill the heir.

However, it is also a tool for one job: bundling. As a bundler, it does indeed do a lot of things correctly out of the box, and as a direct result the experience of using it is far more pleasant than most such tools. Parcel is a rare thing in the JS world: a tool I’ve actually found useful and efficient. Google: undefined is not a function -> 800.000.000 results Google: nullpointerexception -> 4.360.000 results Writing it in JavaScript is a recipe for disaster. Writing plugin-architectures is hard in any language. While this can be nice, it leads to even more confusing bugs. Plus JavaScript tends makes people realized what FP is, and they all start putting functions in their functions and making everything modular and plugin-able. The bug won't get fixed right away, most will just work around it, use different plugins, copy/paste yet another webpack config etc. Why? Because if a bug shows up in a build-system you stop a million developers from being productive. The web-way of: we can fix it and everyone will reload the browser, leads to a "don't care" attitude.įor web/backend this is approachable, though still not good.įor build-systems this is terrible. You have to spend many brain-cycles on learning Browser-problems, which muddles your understanding of the language. The JavaScript-ecosystem just isn't very productive for multiple reasons. I have written JS since 1997 and kept up with ES6 and so on over the years. That is because it is NOT written in JavaScript. Me too! I dread package upgrades because it can instantly turn into an all-hands-on-deck emergency, and these are just the stand-alone packages, not all the ones I mentioned above. As I read through pages of closed-but-not-really GitHub issues for each package, sometimes going back years and years, it feels like a constant stream of hacking that erodes the well-intentioned first versions. Only, it is too many cooks + death by a thousand cuts. I appreciate what the developers are trying to do, I really do. I naively thought I could webpack with electron+vue+pug+ts and was soundly smacked down repeatedly, even after trying the boilerplate from each components' docs. I've been spending an hour or so a day coming up to speed for the past few weeks, and every yarn/npm package I installed had some kind of error/warning that required a hack, or version contortion. I recently was convinced to start using a packer (webpack, parcel) and was blown away by the hoops people have to jump through to make stuff work. But Siri reminds me a bit of Wolfram Alpha‘s advanced queries and is quite fun in a Magic 8-Ball sort of way - check out some additional screengrabs of our playful testing. It provides a new spin on information aggregation and operates via decent voice recognition as you carry on a scrolling chat with your “personal assistant.” I doubt I’ll use it regularly as I’m not sure it saves any time over accessing separate apps. Beside Windows or Mac, you can also exchange contacts with Outlook/ ACT/ Salesforce/ Lotus Notes or mobile devices. Siri (free) received a good amount of positive buzz at launch last week. Combined with Gmail’s iPhone Exchange services, any new contacts show up online rather quickly and without intervention.

Now that my transition from Yahoo to Gmail is in full swing, I’ve also taken the opportunity to clean up and expand my address book(s). Which is why I upgraded to Slacker Radio Plus ($48/yr), my constant and more reliable gym companion, via iPhone over the weekend. Plus, audio and video isn’t always in sync. Unfortunately, the video quality isn’t great – a combination of AT&T’s overtaxed network, the max resolution Sling utilizes for their mobile clients, and a reliance on processor-intensive WMV decoding over native H.264. My personal copy of the iPhone SlingPlayer has been active on 3G for several months. Something Sling has absolutely no recollection of: “ AT&T never discussed any specific requirements with us.” Regardless, the updated app should be available soon. But it’s not going 3G without a bit more drama… AT&T says “ we’ve worked with Sling Media” to further optimize SlingPlayer for 3G. AT&T has finally relented and it appears that the iPhone Slingbox client ($30) will be shedding it’s WiFi-only designation in the near future. |
