What, is this the new alcoholism? As I have always understood it, once something starts interfering with your outside life, it constitutes an addiction. Maybe there should be an AA for these people so they stop dying in coffee shops and that sort of thing.
Then again, once you got them all together, they'd just talk about WoW. And a mediator would probably end up stabbed with a sword.
Yeah, the roleplaying gets lost in D&D because of all the rules. I've recently been playing games in the d10 system, and its a lot easier and more fun, with more actual story and character based stuff than rules to hold you back.
It seems a bit funny to me that they are making it WoW-like in the "everybody can play easily" quality. I never liked that about WoW, because it just meant that a bunch of idiots could sign on and play, but in a tabletop game it will just make it easier for friends who thought it was too complicated before to get into it. Hearing this about it makes me happy.
People have actually done that a lot, about the free stuff thing. Otherwise, though, they probably wouldn't shut it down. They would just make you pay to put your ads there.
I had never heard about the number 3 being the highest a person can perceive without counting, but I do know that odd numbers are more pleasing to the eye. (People generally like looking at triangles or photos of three cherries as opposed to rectangles and photos of two cherries.) So the question becomes, is it that the action of making three strokes in a letter is more pleasing, or is it looking at the result that we like? Probably, it is both.
The ending really isn't surprising plot-wise. I was expecting fully the things to happen that did happen. But just not quite in the corny un-Indiana Jones-like way. At first I was a little pissed off, but then I realized slowly that the rest of the movie was good enough to make up for it, and it wasn't that bad after all. As long as you don't think of it as part of the other three movies... you'll be fine. I saw it for free, but I'd have paid ten dollars for it.

At least it wasn't trapped with its wife.
