I'm always itching to revisit the Pokémon games of the Game Boy, GBA, and Nintendo DS—scurrying through the tall grass to battle my first Pidgey or hunt down a Pikachu in Viridian Forest.

I'd been playing Dungeons & Dragons for about two years before I built enough courage to run my own session. Being the Dungeon Master and directing the story is part of what drew me to D&D in the first place, but I quickly learned that it's even harder than it looks. I've now run two one-shots as DM. The first one actually went pretty well: everybody had fun, there were no major hiccups, and we finished everything I'd planned on time.

Just because something's popular, that doesn't mean it's good. And nowhere is that maxim more evident than in a list of Netflix's most-watched original movies, only one of which I'd recommend (and even that one's pretty contentious). There's no shortage of excellent Netflix original movies, but their viewing numbers pale in comparison to the bland schlock below.
