It's a large gaming group. But, thankfully, most of them are paying close attention to the action. And Snow White, an experienced Dungeon Master, knows how to keep everyone interested and focused.

Belle, as you might expect, is the resident rules lawyer. Strictly speaking, Snow White should ask everyone to make a perception check at this point. But for the sake of narrative flow, she's dispensing with that formality. Be flexible, Belle.

Did you watch the season premiere of Game of Thrones last night? If you had to go fetch your child from Grandma’s, or fell asleep, or for some reason missed it, you may have a hard time avoiding spoilers online. What to do? The obvious answer is to  stop everything and watch the quickest replay available (I don’t know how HBO does that), but Dorkly has made a game out of the situation. The comic today follows a “Choose Your Own Adventure” format, in that you can explore your options. This being Dorkly, none of them work out as well as you hope. Choose wisely.

When animators work together they draw together, and when studio employees are working on a project they usually spend their free moments drawing fun stuff, perhaps even getting together and creating an animated short for their own amusement.

Yellow Sticky Notes: Canadian Anijam is an animated short put together by Jeff Chiba Stearns that's built upon the idea of artistic collaboration:

Yellow Sticky Notes: Canadian Anijam is an innovative and global approach to animation filmmaking and unites animators from coast to coast, from Vancouver to Halifax and all parts in between, to self reflect on one day of their lives using only 4×6 inch yellow sticky notes, a black pen and animation meditation. Each of the animators created their sequence without knowing what the other participants were creating.

Starting with a ‘to do’ list written on the day of a memorable event, the animators transitioned from text to imagery by utilizing ‘animation meditation’ to create a visually animated poem representing how their lives were affected by that pivotal day. In the end, the thousands of sticky note drawings are linked together to create a dynamic and inspirational animated film that connects the human spirit while celebrating individual artistic expression with the goal of inspiring future generations of animators.

It seems Robert Downey Jr., most recently star of Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, is out to prove to the world that he’s a real life superhero, at least in terms of bringing a lot of joy and happiness to the lives of a bunch of deserving kiddos.

He decided to celebrate his 49^th birthday with a private screening of the new Captain America movie Winter Soldier, and he only invited the most special of guests to accompany him- 50 adorable, superhero loving kids.

Stop making everybody love you so much Robert Downey! Just kidding, the world needs people like you now more than ever...

One donut to rule them all,
One donut to feed them;
One donut to bring them all
And in the darkness fatten them.

Eva B., a Lord of the Rings fan in Slovakia, forged this donut in the fires of Mount Doom. The only way to destroy it is to eat it. Who will volunteer for this dangerous mission?

Not every home comes equipped with central air conditioning, but during the dog days of summer, it's hard to use a window-mounted A/C without spending a fortune on electricity or being totally uncomfortable. Aros is a novel way to deal with the problem as this air conditioner can link with your wifi and be controlled by your smart phone so you can turn it on before you head home, program it to turn itself off when you leave the house and set it to maximize energy efficiency when the weather changes.

Learn more about the new innovation and where you can get one for yourself over at Homes and Hues: Aros Is A Smart Air Conditioner

Nerf warfare has reached the end of days phase with the one Nerf weapon to rule them all- the Nerf Nuke.

This quilled zeppelin looking monstrosity was created by ThinkGeek as an April Fools' Day joke, and it’s a good thing because when Nerf wars reach nuke level a Nerf-pocalypse is right around the corner.

Something tells me you’d more than just put your eye out with this thing, making it the most dangerous last resort weapon ever created for the battlefields of Nerf. I've been in some pretty epic office Nerf battles but nobody ever felt the need to go full nuke!

It's hypothetically possible that a bullet could injure Batman. But no bullet has been brave enough to try. Lucas Nascimento reveals an essential difference between Superman and Batman.

This comic reminds me of a great scene from the recent movie Justice League: War:

Michael T. Mann was impressed with thee movie Jurassic Park, but wondered what it would be like if there were no computer-generated dinosaurs in it. So he re-edited several key scenes with more “conventional” special effects for the dinosaurs. That didn’t seem to be as good as the original, so he messed with the ending of the movie just a little to make up for it. The result is quite ridiculous, even downright stupid, but you will laugh at some point or another. Don’t miss the post-credit easter egg. -via The A.V. Club

Finally, a video that combines the two biggest obsessions on the internet -cats and video games! See what happens when a handsome black cat finds himself in a Super Mario World. This video from Michael Tivikoff shows how a cat collects coins, deals with Koopas and mushrooms, and achieves a power-up! He even finds time to stop and smell the fire flowers. -Thanks, Michael!

Holy homicides Batman, you’re a murdering psychopath masquerading as a crime fighting superhero, and this Cracked article entitled The 6 Most Brutal Murders Committed By Batman proves it!

Batman is obviously a big picture kinda guy, and he considers henchman to be expendable because no matter how many low ranking baddies he kills they never seem to tarnish his reputation.

You’d think Robin would have called him out on at least a few of these killings, but Robin probably turns a blind eye to it all because he’s afraid of becoming Bat Boy’s next victim!

Tokyo Police Club is not the name of a video game, although it certainly sounds like a groundbreaking gameplay experience, Tokyo Police Club is the name of an indie band who love video games.

Tokyo Police Club made a video for their song Hot Tonight, and it features all kinds of imaginary video games someone should actually make such as Tour Canada, Manic Mayor, the Street Fighter clone Twitter Beef and Stage Rush, the sound gear stacking game.

Okay, maybe Tokyo Police Club just needed a good excuse to include video games in their music video…

In the movie Frozen, Elsa isolates herself from Anna, fearing that she may accidentally kill her little sister. Anna doesn't understand why her loving sister has withdrawn from her life. She invites Elsa to play with her in the song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?," which is embedded below. It's a hard, tragic scene in the movie.

Similarly heartbreaking is the breakup of the Joker and Harley Quinn from the DC Comics universe. They were a romantic couple, but the Joker couldn't climb out of his own depression enough to keep the relationship going. Harley did her best to encourage him, inviting him to come out of his lair to kill the Batman. YouTube user SydneyAmber sang this pitch-perfect parody of the Frozen song.

There are more movies about time travel than you may realize, because not all of them are under the science fiction label. There are also comedies and romances and horror films and children’s movies. Dan Meth created a dozen charts that diagram the time that is traveled in a movie. Your job is to select one of four films that matches each chart. There were a couple in which I had not seen any of the four options, but was able to figure out the correct answer anyway. Try it yourself!

Hint: none of the answers is Primer. No one can diagram that movie anyway. Or maybe they can.
