This week on Collecting Weekly, we take a deep dive into the newly revealed Hot Toys Arcane Vi from the hit Netflix series Arcane! We break down the likeness, tailoring, gauntlets, accessories, and overall shelf presence — and discuss whether this could be one of the best video game adaptation figures Hot Toys has produced. Does Vi live up to the expectations set by previous Arcane releases? And how will she pair with Jinx on display? We're talking pros, cons, pricing expectations, and collector reactions! #HotToys #Arcane #ArcaneNetflix #Vi #LeagueOfLegends #SixthScale #SixthScaleFigures #ActionFigures #CollectingWeekly #CWLive #FigureCollectors #ToyNews #HotToysArcane
With King Leopold II of Belgium now in full control of the Belgian Congo, the extraction of ivory and other resources could begin. The story of the plunder of the Congo is so brutal and unbelievable, and at times so hard to believe, that it was once said that "to tell the full story it would have to be fiction." In the early period of the Congo Free State, forced labor and resource extraction ultimately led to atrocities and destruction, but the terror was far from over. This episode is Part 3 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It gives an overview of Congo's rich natural resources, and the ivory boom in the late 1800's that contributed to atrocities. It discusses Leopold's style of rule and role in overseeing the carnage, the development of the ivory "trade" in the Congo, the beginnings of mass death, and the origins of early protest movements and dissent against the state, including from missionaries like George Washington Williams. Future episodes will discuss the rubber boom, it's related human rights meltdown, as well as resistance and protest movements that contributed to the end of the Congo Free State. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

The answer may surprise you…Why do 'good' people support evil leaders? What allure does fascism hold that enables it to garner popular support?

Piranesi lives in an infinite house, with no long-term memory and only a loose sense of identity. As the secrets of the House deepen and the mystery of his life becomes more sinister, Piranesi must discover who he is and how this brings him closer to the "Great and Secret Knowledge" that the House contains. Touching on themes of memory, identity, mental health, knowledge, reason, experience, meaning, reflection, ideals, and more…Piranesi will be remembered as one of the great books of the 21st century.

Kan videospilsserier være andet end tom eksponering, når der ikke udkommer et nyt tilhørende spil?I denne uges afsnit tager Jacob og Morten fat på Fallout sæson 2 fra 2024 skabt af Jonathan Nolan (Westworld, Person of Interest) og Lisa Joy (Westworld, Reminiscence), med Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Arcane) og Walton Goggins (Justified, The Hateful Eight) i hovedrollerne. Fallout foregår i en postapokalyptisk verden efter et atomragnarok, hvor mennesker lever i underjordiske “vaults” og kæmper for overlevelse i en brutal, forvrænget version af det gamle USA. Serien følger især Lucy, der tvinges op til overfladen og konfronteres med et samfund præget af vold, magtspil og rester af en tabt civilisation.De diskuterer seriens visuelle udtryk og om den ville kunne overgå serier som The Last of Us sæson 2? Herefter vender de blikket mod animationsserien Primal sæson 3 (2026), som er skabt af Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory).Primal er en ordløs animationsserie om et usandsynligt venskab mellem en hulemand og en dinosaur, der begge har mistet deres familier. Sammen overlever de i en ekstrem og nådesløs urverden, hvor sorg, instinkt og rå overlevelse driver fortællingen frem. De reflekterer over, hvor serien kunne bevæge sig hen i en eventuel sæson 4.Afsnittet rundes som altid af med nyheder fra film- og serieverdenen.Tusind tak, fordi du lytter med.

For years, video game adaptations had a reputation, and not a good one.In Episode 86 of Co-op Chronicles, Blacklabel, Geisha, and Azzilee take a deeper look at why video game movies and shows struggled for so long… and why some adaptations are finally starting to work.Using Iron Lung as a timely case study, we explore how expectations, tone, restraint, and audience trust shape whether an adaptation succeeds or falls apart. We also break down what worked in modern successes like The Last of Us, Arcane, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, and Prince of Persia and why other adaptations stumbled by over-explaining, chasing accuracy, or failing to understand what made the original game matter.This isn't a ranking episode... it's a conversation about why translating feeling matters more than copying plot, and why some games may never be meant for the screen at all.If you've ever wondered why some adaptations “feel right” while others feel hollow, this episode explains why.

As European imperialism heated up in Africa in the late 1800's, King Leopold II of Belgium put into motion one of the most ambitious and villainous plans in all of European history - the theft of the entire Congo. Utilizing the work of explorer Henry Morton Stanley, European animus towards the Afro-Arab Slave Trade, the creation of dubious committees and associations, international lobbying of governments, public relations campaigns, and bogus treaties with the people of Congo, Leopold understood that "...we must be cautious, clever and quick to act. I would not expose myself to displeasing the English or letting escape a good opportunity to get some of this beautiful African cake." In 1885, the countries of Europe gave their blessing to Leopold's slice of cake at the Berlin Conference. This episode is Part 2 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It takes a look at how Leopold II of Belgium went from being a monarch of tiny Belgium to the owner of the biggest European colony in Africa. Upcoming episodes will discuss atrocities in the Congo, resistance and reform movements, and more. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Dragons are eternal. Gaming mice are not. In today's episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we survive cursed peripherals, catastrophic Kingdom turns, and at least one near-fatal werewolf encounter before finally turning our attention to the real reason we woke up before dawn: Paizo's Lost Omens: Draconic Codex. It's a book that asks the important questions—like "What if dragons were powered by magical traditions?", "What if dragons were made of swords?", and "What if a dragon respawned because you can't kill the joke?" Pour yourself a gallon of coffee and join us as we dig into archdragons, dragon gods, delight dragons, wish dragons, and more dragons than should legally fit in one hardcover. Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew reviews Lost Omens: Draconic Codex, Paizo's definitive Pathfinder Second Edition sourcebook for dragons. The discussion covers both lore and mechanics introduced in the Remaster era, highlighting how Pathfinder 2e has fully reinvented dragons to align with its four magical traditions: Arcane, Divine, Occult, and Primal . Covered Topics Include: Remastered Dragon Lore Pathfinder's clean break from chromatic/metallic dragons Dragons aligned to magical traditions instead of color Why these dragons feel "native" to PF2e mechanics Dragon Creation Myth & Dragon Gods Apsu, Dahak, Sarshalatu, and the draconic origin story Dragon gods, pantheons, edicts, and anathema Cleric and champion support for dragon-aligned worship Archdragons & Dragon Physiology New age category: Archdragon Young → Adult → Ancient → Arch progression Why archdragons emerge during times of conflict Expanded archdragon stat blocks for existing dragons Bestiary Highlights (So Many Dragons) - Over 40 dragon types, including: Delight Dragons (joy, bubbles, toys, and respawning punchlines) Mocking Dragons (laughing at your failures—mechanically) Wish Dragons (granting wishes with no ritual cost… interpreted by the dragon) Vorpal Dragons (made of swords, can decapitate you and leave you alive) Sage Dragons (dragon nerds who weaponize your secrets) Wyrm Wraiths (void-fueled undead dragon horrors) Player & GM Options Dragon-themed archetypes and ancestry options Dragonets as playable, pseudo-dragon-like companions Expanded kobold options New spells, magic items, and dragon contracts (mechanical pacts that actually matter) GM Tools & Campaign Hooks Dragons as quest-givers, gods, villains, and punchlines High-level storytelling with wish-granting dragons Using dragons as expressions of magical philosophy Key Takeaways Lost Omens: Draconic Codex fully redefines dragons for Pathfinder 2e, making them mechanically and narratively distinct from D&D while remaining iconic . The four magical traditions give dragons clearer identities, spell access, and story roles. Archdragons provide true level-21+ threats with campaign-defining presence. Dragons in this book are not just monsters—they're gods, philosophers, tricksters, wish-granters, and walking rules arguments. Player options (dragonets, archetypes, contracts) meaningfully support dragon-centric campaigns. This book is a must-own for Pathfinder 2e GMs, especially for high-level or lore-heavy games.

Hey Midnighters,It's Wednesday and Episode 189 of The Midnight Project is out now. This one is all about momentum and atmosphere. Deep pressure, rolling grooves, and that slow-burning intensity that keeps you locked in from start to finish.I open the show with Expanse by GENESI on Arcane, setting the mood instantly. From there it keeps evolving with driving selections by Giancarlo Di Chiara, Matteo Vitanza, Nikoretti, and the timeless Player Three remaster. Heavy underground energy comes in with Demon Noise and Zafer Atabey, followed by hypnotic movement from Enveak and Mazdem, plus raw attitude from Momola and Estora. Marie Vaunt brings serious fire on Arcane, Rob Robsen and Paula van Klar with Spartaque push the pressure higher, and Thomas T. takes things into darker territory.Big shout out to Bruno Power. Bruno is a world on its own. That Opus bootleg landing in my DM made my Sunday night, and closing the show with it just felt right.Dive into the full tracklist and support the artists here:

Hey Midnighters,This week's episode of The Midnight Project hits differently. Pure drive, no distractions, and a profound opening statement to set the tone for the whole journey. From the first beat, this one is built for big systems and that shared moment when the energy locks in.I'm excited to say I've secured a very special festival edition of Adam Beyer's brand-new track, and you're hearing it right here. This version is made to explode in front of massive crowds, and opening the show with it felt like the only right move. From there, the pressure stays on with heavy hitters and forward-thinking cuts from Twins Project, Tini Gessler, Kate Hex, and a strong run of Arcane releases that keep the momentum rolling.The middle of the mix dives deep with A.D.H.S. & Jose Bonetto and Teenage Mutants alongside Technicism, before pushing into raw, driving territory with Anna Reusch and a standout Robert Hood remix for FJAAK. I closed things out with DJ Rush and Deas, because sometimes you need that final punch to seal the deal.This episode is all about movement, tension, and that unmistakable festival-ready energy, even when you're listening in the dark.You'll find the complete tracklist waiting for you here:
From 1885 to 1908, King Leopold II of Belgium owned the Congo as his own personal colony. What transpired there over the course of his reign has credibly been called "the vilest scramble for loot that ever disfigured the history of human conscience." Forced labor, slavery, disease, destruction, and destabliziation led to millions of deaths in one of the lesser known mass trauma events in human history. This is the story of the Congo Free State in Central Africa. This episode is Part 1 in a series on the Belgian Congo. It takes a look at the origins of humanity in Africa, the Congo as a geographic and human region, the Congo River, the development of agriculture, slavery, and society in the Congo before European arrival, the Indian Ocean Slave Trade vs. the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, the arrival of the Portuguese in the Congo, the motivations for African Imperialism, the intensification of the slave trade as a result of European arrival, the resulting disruption and destabilization, and more. Future episodes will discuss Leopold's acquisition of the Congo as a colony, the resulting atrocities, resistance and reform movements, and the full story of the Congo Free State. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

He had a natural aptitude for magic as a young man, but clearly survived and benefitted from Fistandantilus. Let's examine if Raistlin Majere was a warlock. You can buy Towers of high Sorcery here: https://www.dmsguild.com/en/product/2940/towers-of-high-sorcery-3-5?affiliate_id=50797 https://youtu.be/k_w-BOj03wY Transcript Cold Open If there’s one character who bends the rules of magic on Krynn, it’s Raistlin Majere. But what if the greatest wizard in Dragonlance history… wasn’t purely a wizard at all? What if his unparalleled power came, at least in part, from a dark pact that echoes the mechanics of a D&D Warlock? Intro Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. My name is Adam, and today we’re diving deep into a fascinating theory: Was Raistlin Majere secretly a Warlock? I’d like to thank the DLSaga YouTube members and Patreon Patrons, and invite you to consider becoming a member or patron. You can also grab Dragonlance media through my affiliate links. This discussion pulls from the Chronicles & Legends novels, Dragonlance sourcebooks, and D&D 5th Edition 2024 rules, particularly the Warlock class from the Player’s Handbook. As always, if I miss details or get something wrong, let me know in the comments. Discussion To understand this theory, we first need a quick refresher on how magic works in Dragonlance. Arcane magic on Krynn is tied to the three moons of magic: Solinari for White Robes and good-aligned wizards, Lunitari for Red Robes and neutrality, and Nuitari for Black Robes and evil. Wizards must take the grueling Test of High Sorcery, swear allegiance to one order, and draw power through rigorous study, meditation, and devotion to the moons’ gods. It’s a scholarly, disciplined path—very much like the classic D&D Wizard class, relying on Intelligence, spellbooks, and long preparation. Raistlin starts firmly in this tradition. He wears the white robe of his instructor and his early life is all about mastering the craft through intellect and observation. But everything changes during his Test of High Sorcery in the Tower at Wayreth. At the climax of the Test—the youngest mage ever to take it—Raistlin faces what seems like certain death against a powerful dark elf illusion. That’s when the spirit of Fistandantilus appears. This ancient, infamous archmage—known as the Dark One—offers Raistlin a bargain: immediate power to defeat the elf and survive the Test, in exchange for a steady drain on Raistlin’s life force. Raistlin, ever ambitious, accepts without hesitation. The deal transforms him physically and magically. His skin turns golden (providing resistance to spells), his hair goes white, his eyes become hourglass-shaped (letting him see the ravages of time on all things), and he’s cursed with a chronic, debilitating cough. But he gains immense power in the moment, and Fistandantilus’s essence lingers within him, subtly feeding him knowledge and strength for years to come. Now, let’s shift to D&D 5th Edition 2024 mechanics. The Warlock class is defined by one thing: a pact with a powerful otherworldly patron. Warlocks don’t grind through spellbooks like wizards—they gain their magic through a binding agreement with entities like fiends, archfey, celestials, Great Old Ones, or undying beings. In exchange for power, they often give up something: loyalty, service, life essence, or even their soul. Some Key Warlock features include: Pact Magic: Spell slots that recharge on a short rest, not a long rest. Eldritch Invocations: Customizable magical abilities that feel like built-in perks from the patron. A subclass based on the patron type, granting themed spells and abilities. Often, the pact is sealed through a direct bargain, especially with Fiend or Undying patrons. Raistlin’s deal with Fistandantilus fits this template almost perfectly. Fistandantilus is an undying archmage—a lich-like figure who extended his life by draining others via his Bloodstone and even bargained with Takhisis herself. He qualifies easily as an Undying Patron (from the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide) or a Fiend Patron. The bargain is explicit: power now for life force over time. Post-pact, Fistandantilus inhabits Raistlin like a possessive patron, granting boosts during critical moments—helping him master the Dragon Orb in Silvanesti, providing insights in Skullcap, and accelerating his overall arcane growth. This “patron” influence explains Raistlin’s meteoric rise. A normal wizard progresses steadily, but Raistlin goes from novice to the most powerful mage on Krynn in mere years, absorbing Fistandantilus’s ancient knowledge. It’s like gaining levels in Warlock on top of his Wizard base, with the patron providing “invocations” in the form of enhanced resilience and forbidden lore. We see the patron dynamic play out further in the Legends trilogy. When Raistlin travels back in time, he apprentices under the living Fistandantilus, learns his secrets, and ultimately defeats him in a magical duel—absorbing the archmage’s essence completely. This flips the script: the “warlock” overpowers and consumes his patron, becoming the Master of Past and Present. It’s a classic tale of a Warlock who outgrows or betrays their patron, wielding its power against it. There are other Warlock parallels too. Raistlin’s golden skin acts like a permanent magical ward—similar to the Undying patron’s features that defy death and decay. His hourglass eyes give him a unique perception of time, evoking Chronurgy Wizard elements but also the alien insights some patrons grant. And his addictive thirst for power mirrors how many Warlocks are portrayed: always chasing the next boon from their patron, even as it destroys them. But here’s where the theory hits its limits—Raistlin is still, at his core, a wizard. He meticulously studies spellbooks every day. He relies on the moons for high-level magic. He wields the Staff of Magius, a classic wizard artifact. His spellcasting is Intelligence-based, rooted in arcane theory, not the Charisma-driven pact magic of Warlocks. The Fistandantilus deal enhances him but doesn’t replace his foundational wizardry. He never gets short-rest spell slots or true invocations; his power surges come from artifacts, study, and the lingering patron essence. In modern D&D terms, the best way to build Raistlin is as a multiclass: primarily Wizard (maybe School of Divination or Chronurgy for the time themes), with a few levels in Warlock—Undying or Fiend subclass—to represent the pact’s boost. This captures the hybrid nature: scholarly depth plus a dark bargain for extra edge. A pure Warlock build would miss his vast spell repertoire and intellectual arrogance. Other characters in fantasy have similar “warlock-ish” elements—think of Anakin Skywalker’s fall or Gandalf’s ring of power—but Raistlin’s story is uniquely tragic because the pact fuels his fatal flaw: ambition bordering on addiction. It costs him his health, strains his relationships (especially with Caramon), and nearly dooms Krynn. Yet without it, he might never have become the fulcrum that defeated Takhisis. So, is Raistlin Majere a Warlock? Strictly speaking, no—he’s a wizard who made one fateful, devilish bargain that supercharged his destiny. But viewing him through the Warlock lens adds a thrilling layer, highlighting the cost of forbidden power and making him even more compelling for D&D adaptations. Outro That’s my take on whether Raistlin Majere could be considered a Warlock. Do you buy the theory? Would you play him as a Warlock multiclass in your game? Does the Fistandantilus pact change how you see his redemption? Leave your thoughts below. These videos happen weekly because of your support—thank you.

These steps are pretty confusing to me. Why would the people of Ythryn design a system like this? Or maybe it's the nature of the magic that requires it? I'm not certain, but it's too much. I'd have stopped once I found out there were eight steps to this thing. I guess that's why I'm not part of this group, right Max Hedman?Sound effects courtesy of Zapsplat.(Also, if you read this description leave a comment on the podcast saying “Wow, great job Luke!”)

In 2025's last full-length episode, your hosts brought some hot fics and even hotter takes to the table as we discussed our perspective on what fandoms "hit (or remained in) the zeitgeist" this year. From The Pitt to Arcane to Interview With the Vampire, our conversation led us to discuss topics such as: humor as a cultural indicator the impact of big media companies in an increasingly siloed media landscape the risks of creating progressive media and science fiction as a reflection of social anxieties The fics we discussed this episode were the fifth element (series) by copycat_punisher (The Pitt), love, letting go by theroyalsavage (Arcane), and Cunk on Fangs by beemovieerotica (Cunk on Earth, Interview With the Vampire).

The Odyssey concludes with release, purification, and contradiction. A legendary bow and arrow contest sets the stage for Odysseus' rampage through the suitors who tormented his household for so long. The results of this explosion of violence and the conclusion of the story have been discussed and debated for millenia. This episode looks at books 21-24 of The Odyssey, analyzing themes of memory, purification, cycles of violence, animal instinct, fate and coincidence, and more. Homer's The Odyssey is one of the oldest and most enduring stories in all of civilization. Set in the aftermath of the legendary Trojan War, Odysseus, one of it's great heroes, has been lost at sea for decades. As he struggles to return home, the epic poem asks us important questions about history, memory, choice, kindness, leadership, violence, and much more. Even thousands of years later, The Odyssey still matters. -Consider Supporting the Podcast!- Leave a rating or review on apple podcasts or spotify!

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KJoin Analytic Dreamz as he unpacks DISPATCH, the breakout 2025 episodic superhero comedy that sold over 1 million copies in its first 10 days and instantly became a GOTY contender. Developed by AdHoc Studio (ex-Telltale and Ubisoft talent), this anime-styled interactive series follows depowered hero Robert “Mecha Man” Robertson III (Aaron Paul) running the Superhero Dispatch Network in an alternate LA, assigning reformed villains to crises via real-time strategy dispatching and high-stakes hacking minigames.After a brutal 7-year development filled with COVID shutdowns, layoffs, skipped paychecks, and a near-death collapse, Critical Role Productions swooped in mid-2025 to fund Season 1, merch, comics, and future Exandria projects. Launched October 22, 2025 across PC (Steam) and PS5 with weekly two-episode drops, the complete 8-episode season wrapped November 12. Priced at $29.99 (Deluxe with artbook + comics), it peaked at 131K concurrent players, hit Steam global #1, and smashed its 3-year “bull case” sales goal in just three months.Analytic Dreamz breaks down the innovative AFK-able dispatch system, branching dialogue, hero synergies and rivalries, the star-packed voice cast (Laura Bailey, Travis Willingham, Jacksepticeye, MoistCr1TiKaL, Alanah Pearce, Yung Gravy + Matthew Mercer as Shroud), stunning pre-rendered animation by Igloo Studio, 19 accessibility options, and why the “interactive TV” pacing feels like peak Arcane meets The Boys.Despite minor launch bugs (quickly patched) and criticisms around episode length and illusion-of-choice moments, DISPATCH earned 89–90 Metacritic, 97% Steam positive (50K+ reviews), and universal praise for writing, emotional depth, comedy, and revitalizing the Telltale episodic formula. Community hype, influencer cast virality, and Critical Role crossover fueled massive weekly discourse and “Invisigal cleared” memes.With developers openly teasing Season 2 and Aaron Paul leaving the door “definitely ajar,” Analytic Dreamz analyzes if DISPATCH just saved and redefined narrative gaming in 2025.
