A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

  • Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
  • Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
  • Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow

  • Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

The story of Al Capone and his network of criminals being chased by the United States Department of the Treasury.

Overall it’s an entertaining, albeit predictable, film to me. I understand it was popular at the time, but I can’t imagine it’s held up well at all. It puts me off because it’s so very clean, yet has so much violence. There is a sort of strange “Disney violence” oil-and-water that makes no sense to me.

A secret organization scavenges alien technology.

Like Doctor Who, this series is pretty light. It seems good so far.

Build and fight with robot vehicles.

I played a bit of it, and it was interesting but didn’t really do it for me.

They won’t stop spamming me. Their mailing list unsubscription doesn’t work for me.

Though I only know him through Last Week Tonight, I love his personality and material.

Last Week Tonight is a political commentary Television show which posts some videos on YouTube. Some of its research and news material is quite impressive, and its comedic presentation makes it particularly entertaining.

He went completely fucking insane some time ago, and became part of the fake news / social justice propaganda network.

With a strong talent for ad-lib, inflammatory rhetoric and confrontation, Patrice O’Neal is (was) a hilariously wrong comedian. He is deceased.

Patrice is astoundingly hilarious, though all too often it’s because he’s so offensive. I’d like to say he’s speaking his mind, but it’s impossible to tell, because a comedian crafts a fictional personality to present comedic material, and his is fantastic. He comes off as refreshingly authentic.

He’s been a guest for a bunch of radio shows, and he is worth listening to if you can stomach the awful hosts.

With a tenancy to dive into relationship territory, Patrice neither ejects nor leaves a skid mark trying to land. Instead, he explodes like a meteor, throwing up debris and setting everything on fire. He does not hold back.
