This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Just logged into D&D Beyond, and they removed Zak S, RPG Pundit and other consultants

Quote from: Snowman0147;1082538It used to have such a feature, but too many people bitched about like the losers they are.  Mainly because they got down voted.

If I recall, the main issue was that the upvotes and downvotes were all anonymous. If you can't see a list of names of the people doing it, its hard to know what to think of it. And from the other side, upvotes are a way to register my approval. Why bother upvoting something if nobody knows I did it?

I do actually think downvotes are a bad idea. Upvotes make sense because you can agree with someone without needed to clutter a thread with "ditto" posts. But if you disagree with someone, that should take the form of actual discussion. Make a post and say why you disagree, or at least upvote a post someone already made stating the reason you disagree.

Also, that Zak and Mandy story is hilarious. If that clip exists, it needs to be on Youtube.

Quote from: remial;1082306My take on the whole Zak S thing is, he is a weirdo, and always has been.
Not that there is anything wrong with being a weirdo, but Zak is a special level.
Case in point, my first exposure to Zak was an episode of Attack of the Show, back when it was on. One of the regulars of the show would go to the Adult Video Expo in Vagas, and one of the things he did there was show a DVD extra from a movie that Zak and his, at the time, girlfriend Mandy Morbid, Hospital!
Apparently during the filming of the video, (which is set in an old time abandoned asylum) the two of them learned about tripanning, which if you don't know, is the practice of drilling a hole in the patient's skull to 'release the evil spirits that cause madness'.
(Some of you may see where this is going)
Zak and Mandy, being into the body modification scene, exclaimed in the DVD extra that this sounded interesting so they were going to try it. They had a Black and Decker drill...  and a watermelon. They, wisely, decided that they were going to test how this was going to work out on the watermelon before either of them got a cordless drill to the head.
The watermelon, as you might imagine, exploded, and unleashed its sticky contents all over the two of them, the drill, and he patio they were filming on.  They both expressed disappointment in the failure of the test.

So, anytime I read anything from either of the 2, I take it with a grain of salt, and think, "do I really want to take the word of someone who wanted to use an off the shelf cordless drill to drill a hole in their skull at face value?"
I advise doing the same.

from what I remember seeing of it, the movie isn't that good. a naked Mandy wanders around a deserted mental hospital, and has random sex with people who may or may not be there.  Lots of piercings, tattoos and mohawks if that is your thing.
and the trepanation video is only like 5 minutes or so.

This wouldn't be the most pornographic thing I've seen advertised on Amazon.

It's a real mystery how these people all turned out to be damaged people in damaged relationships, huh?

It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.
