Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-wanna-see-how-drunk-i'm-getting dept.

FhnuZoag writes "Google Video is hosting the short film 'Fear of Girls', written and directed by Ryan Wood. The film is a hilarious 'documentary' dealing with a pair of self-declared elite table-top roleplayers. The film has already appeared at a variety of fringe events, but here's a chance to see it for free and online from a server that probably can survive a slashdotting." Allright, so it's not that funny, but since I'm off to play D&D this afternoon, it tickled me.

    When calling the link directly, it tells me "Currently, the playback feature of Google Video isn't available in your country.", but the coralized link works fine :-)

  3. For Non-US users : workaround by GrAfFiT · · Score: 5, Informative

    Someone suggested to use the coral cache : Link here. As the coral cache is multi-homed, you can be dns-round-robin-ed to a non-US mirror and thus be showed the Non-US notice. Just flush your DNS cache with : "ipconfig /flushdns"; for linux, restart your dns daemon. Try again a few times and it should work.

  4. The Gamers by jafiwam · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is a funny "spoof" D&D movie called "The Gamers" put out by "Dead Gentleman Productions" if you are into that sort of thing.

    It's about 45 minutes long, and totally hilarious if you have been around or been a gamer for a while.

    A recent survey showed that over 50% of all female World of Warcraft characters were played by male players. Who exactly is supposed to be fearing whom?

    The DM is a frequent poster (and moderator) at a popular RPG board which shall not be named for fear of Slashdotting. He runs games at cons. The other guy was in fact an actor, not the other way around. He doesn't know anything about gaming, but his acting abilities helped him there.

    Do download the video, enter the following at your favourite shell:

    wget -O video.avi "http://vp.video.google.com/videodownload?version= 0&secureurl=igAAABNZ5uk-9rYKt1b_IZT0D10ADndDZojisj 9cEfkU-7Um38pBBw7nAeZhhtacS8CGsskUOAM91cW0iC3zJcGG pGMThrxKhERl6smRysAlGLNtzavkjDFdXy7lbYPOEUILqPKN_6 0s4hpPD_PtNtf6LUNDBnFZU-PqOuNyHrCv3bA8vNQ6rZCacJ7d sOWSwjvX6g&sigh=hEEf3jF7RGp9TyCntjf09OcjdfU&begin= 0&len=672971&docid=7521044027821122670&autoPlay=tr ue&playerId=7521044027821122670"

    This will probably wrap, so you have to put all the above in one line.
