    How am I supposed to ogle an animated Lucy Lawless?

    Not one of those names is replete with the required f'antasy punc'tuation.

  3. I read that in High School by Asahi+Super+Dry · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's my understanding that the book was basically an edited transcript of a Dungeons and Dragons game run by the authors. Is that in fact the case? Regardless (and this is of course just my opinion) it made me never want to read a book based on a game ever again. I can't think of a single thing I liked about it. If D&D really was the instrument of Satan then the guy has remarkably questionable taste.

    It's that, every so often, you guys make me feel like less of a dork, if only by comparison.

  5. I wonder by skribe · · Score: 1, Funny

    I wonder if we'll see a ring of dwarves thrusting hauberks at the heroes.
    Or whether the 'good' priest will disappear for a while just like in the books, where even the authors found him so dull that they forgot to include him for several chapters.

  8. I'd be worried if it is like the books by IndustrialComplex · · Score: 2, Funny

    If making this movie is anything like the books, I would half expect the recording studio to explode after the actors leave the building.

    It drove me nuts in Margaret Weiss' books. Every friggen place blows up the instant the heroes leave. Even if they win it blows up. "Yahoo, we just defeated the 'more baddest creature yet', for good measure, lets set it on fire, taking out everything in a 30 mile radius as well. Also, I peed in the well. Before we go, lets stab this guy trying to build a road."

    Don't use the latrine, it is rigged with C-4. Maybe thats why they needed Jack Bauer?
