I am at the moment planning a campaign of Dungeon World which I am going to DM (something I haven't done before) and it's going really well. I love the system, it's probably the most fun I've had with an RPG in a long time. Other than that I play a lot of Settlers since a friend recently got an expansion pack, classic but amazing game.

Since there's a beer and alcohol thread I thought I would balance it all out with a soda-thread. Since soda is the fucking bomb ya'll.

Today I'm drinking Cuba Cola and something called M.A.C Cola which is some sort of cola mixed with orange.

Cuba Cola is a swedish soda which is very very sweet and tastes a bit of cinnamon, it's pretty tough to find nowadays (it was popular in the 80s) and when you find it it's in the "Kids soda"-aisle (as if kids and grownups have different taste in soda?) which makes me do a walk of shame. But it's fucking worth it because Cuba Cola is the best thing since Rosa Luxemburgs book "The accumulation of capital".

I haven't tried the other cola yet, will return later (or tommorow depending on how much sugar this body can take).

Do you have any favourite soda?

There was a thread on the old forum about Maleficent so I guess I'll have to start a new one to get a discussion on it!

I thought it was pretty terrible, which was incredibly frustrating since there are a lot of really good scenes (i would say that a majority of the scenes in the film feel like they should be in a great film) but as a whole it was just mindboggingly bad. The pacing was horrendous and the story felt incredibly contrived, I have a theory that the original script wasn't based on Sleeping Beauty at all but Disney wanted to cash in on an existing brand (the economic crisis fucked over Hollywood big time </3) and therefore made the script writers push two scripts together to create this schlock.

Very disappointed, especially since it really felt that it could've been great if only there was some finesse.

Also, Angelina Jolie is great. I'd watch the film just for her and the cinemtography in some of the shots, even though it was a really frustrating watch I still kind of enjoyed it in some weird way.
