Current and former Dungeons & Dragons design team members spoke out alongside the official D&D Beyond account to push back on a number of rumors involving the future of D&D Beyond and how the One D&D surveys are conducted. Yesterday, the DnD_Shorts Twitter account shared a paraphrased email from an alleged Wizards of the Coast staffer who claimed that the D&D design team did not read the feedback sections in surveys....
Hasbro is trying to sell some of its TV and film business, but don’t expect them to let go of Peppa Pig anytime soon. The news concerning eOne TV has been reported by ScreenDaily and other outlets. A little while ago, Hasbro acquired the company for $3.8 billion. That’s a large chunk of change, and with its current predicament with regulators, it might make a bit of sense to recoup that capital....
A new Minecraft DLC allows players the ability to immerse themselves in the world of SpongeBob SquarePants. Minecraft is already a very expansive game as it allows players to build whatever their heart desires. It’s the ultimate sandbox, allowing players to create cities, dream homes, working electronics, and more. It’s quite an achievement and there’s not really any other games like it. The game has sold well over 200 million copies, meaning other companies have tried to find a way to take part in the overwhelming success....
Following the conclusion of the Battle for Olympus event in Overwatch 2, Blizzard has confirmed which character has “won” the event and secured a statue that will be permanently placed on on the Illios Ruins arena map. Perhaps not too surprising for anyone that has been keeping up, Junker Queen has been crowned the campion of the event, winning with over 43,461,573 kills across the entire event. But there’s some thunder brewing in the horizon....
Star Trek is hinting at a mysterious fate for the USS Enterprise-E. The successor to the Enterprise-D, destroyed in Star Trek Generations, debuted in Star Trek: First Contact and continued under Capt. Picard’s command in Star Trek: Insurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis. It has stood as the last canon iteration of the Enterprise for decades, though that will change with Star Trek: Picard Season 3 introducing the Enterprise-F (itself set to be decommissioned)....
Warner Bros. Discovery may have already decided on who will lead their DC Studios arm with James Gunn and Peter Safran sharing those duties as Co-CEOs, so you’d think that studio would want a new future for their franchise. That would be the case if they didn’t have projects like Joker: Folie a Deux and even Matt Reeves’ The Batman universe that both operate separately from the main DC Universe. Reeves’ projects all seem to be safe, with the director signing an overall deal with the studio, and multiple spinoffs are already in development like The Penguin, a series set in Arkham Asylum, and even a GCPD series all set to be released on HBO Max....
Holy throwback, Batman! The Flash trailer raced online Sunday during the big game, revealing Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton’s Batman returns after Ezra Miller’s time-meddling speedster Barry Allen accidentally creates an alternate reality with no metahumans. Warner Bros. also released a Super Bowl spot with even more footage, showcasing seven new Keaton Batsuits that the Dark Knight didn’t wear in 1989’s Batman or 1992’s Batman Returns. It may be the Burton-Verse, but the scene features a nod from even further back in time: the classic symbol of the 1966 Batman TV series that starred Adam West as the blue and gray-clad caped crusader....
If you love being outdoors and enjoy hiking, biking, camping or more, Nevada is an incredible state to live in. Whether you’re brand new to Nevada, or have lived here a long time, here’s a bucket list of many, but not all, of the amazing places in Nevada worth a visit by the outdoor lover in you! Kershaw-Ryan State Park Kershaw-Ryan State Park, Caliente, Nevada Facebook Page Kershaw-Ryan State Park is located near the town of Caliente in the eastern part of the state....
It’s unavoidable a lot of the time: You’re out of town somewhere at a gathering or a business function with people from all walks of life and from nearly every state, and someone asks you where you’re from. You state you’re from Arkansas and a variety of doors to several different conversations open. Sometimes you’re judged, and sometimes you’re not, for being an Arkansan–but either way there seems to be a lot of curiosity about us out there....
Sometimes, rather than trying to impress your significant other with your chef skills and burning the house down, you take the easier (and safer) route by going out to dinner (after spending the day on one of these romantic outings, of course). Fortunately, Texas has plenty of restaurants that help set the mood with their charming yet intimate atmospheres and breathtaking views of the city. Not all of them are super expensive or require you to dress like you’re about to walk down the aisle, either (unless, of course, you’re planning to propose)....
Have you ever made a special trip to see one of Virginia’s spectacular sites and thought you may have been dreaming? Or stumbled upon a breathtaking vision of nature that seemed too beautiful to be real? If you live in Virginia, chances are this happens quite often. You might argue that Virginians have a high tolerance for beauty, being surrounded by such diverse landscapes. However, this luxury is never one we take for granted....
Is anyone else looking for a way to escape? A quiet place to get away from social media and social pressure and the daily grind of work, politics, worry, and stress? Is the slight chill already in the air making you nostalgic for a way to connect to the best parts of the Natural State? That’s how I’m feeling lately, and I’ve found a way to cure our modern age blues....
In a booming metropolis that shelters nearly 3 million people, you’d be hard pressed to find worthwhile attractions that don’t have crowds flocking to them day and night (especially during our glorious summertime). But fortunately for us, there are some fantastic places around Denver that are slightly less known but equally as captivating as the popular landmarks. It seems a bit counter-intuitive to spread the word about these hidden gems, but I know it’s only right to share the peace and happiness and solitude....

DNA vs. RNA By: Kate Latham Last Updated: January 22, 2021 DNA and RNA are both types of nucleic acids, large molecules that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleic acids are used to store genetic information, which the cell uses to make proteins. Although DNA and RNA share many similarities, there are several key structural and functional differences between these two molecules. DNA vs. RNA What Are Nucleic Acids?...

Jennifer Lopez is putting out a new album and it has an adorable shout-out to Ben Affleck in the track listing. This is For Me…Now is scheduled to release in 2023. But, the pop star just had to tease her fans as a part of the 20 year anniversary of the album’s spiritual predecessor. This Is Me… Then is a favorite of anyone invested in her music back in the early 2000s....
Marvel’s Avengers’ latest update includes hidden dialogue with canceled characters such as Captain Marvel. Marvel’s Avengers is one of the most unfortunate games of the last few years. For the longest time, fans wanted an Avengers game that could rival other big AAA superhero games and make them feel like they’re part of the superhero ensemble. With the MCU being one of the biggest entertainment franchises in history, the fantasy of playing as these heroes only grew larger....
Metaphase By: BD Editors Last Updated: October 4, 2019 Metaphase Definition Metaphase is a stage in eukaryotic cell division in which the chromosomes align on the metaphase plate in the middle of the cell. The stages of prophase and prometaphase come before metaphase. In those stages of cell division, the chromosomes are condensed, the spindle fibers form, and the nuclear envelope is broken down. During metaphase and late prometaphase, the cell performs as series of checkpoints to ensure that the spindle has formed....
