I don't see a boardgames forum, so I'm posting this here... Anybody else playing Zombies!!! from Twlight Creations? The plot of Zombies!!! is simple: You and your fellow survivors are trapped in a city of flesh-eating ghouls. You collect cards and play them on yourself or your opponents (the...

I'd love to see a board games forum so we can easily discuss Axis & Allies, Zombies!!!, and other board games without off-topic stuff or RPG stuff getting in the way. I think there's a lot of cross-over between RPG gamers and boardgamers, and since many of the most creative gamers are already...

I hate the pharmaceutical commercials for all those damn pills, with glossed over side effects like "liver failure, death and/or diarrehea." But in particular, I hate the new commercial that has people saying defeatist comments like: "I don't want to be a famous artist, I just want to hold a...

I'd rather watch one of the original films than a parody, I guess. The skeleton should have had a backstory, as he is the title character and I can't recall any bad B-movie that ever gave such short-shrift to its title character. Without a backstory, I have no reason to care about the skeleton...

New on video this week: THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA, a parody of old 1950s sci-fi/monster movies... This film had a good buzz, but I just saw it and it was nothing special. Some funny stuff, but ultimately forgettable... it dragged in places, especially with the redundant dialogue gag wearing...

I'm reading Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer novels... first person private eye thrillers. Mike Hammer is not the world's greatest detective; he uses his fists more than his brain. He often simply kills criminals in cold blood rather than turn them over to the cops. A one man judge, jury and...

Beverly Hills Cop and Black Hawk Down were good, I'll admit --- but Pirates doesn't hold up to repeat viewings and the rest aren't exactly stellar films (Crimson Tide being nowhere near as good as The Hunt For Red October, for example). The Rock was better than some of his other brain-dead...

To tell if this movie will be crap, just familiarize yourself with the executive producer --- Jerry Bruckheimer --- whose name is sadly synonymous with producing big-budget, brain-dead blockbusters. :uhoh:

Krieg is right. People think if they "stick it out" they will be rewarded --- either by their employer or in court. WRONG! The company will never pay you a dime, no matter how much you sue. It simply goes bankrupt and you go to the unemployment office looking like a moron (even moreso if you...

James Herbert: THE DARK or THE FOG (in both books, a mysterious force turns people into sadistic psychos). Also, THE RATS, LAIR and DOMAIN were very good, if you like trilogies about flesh-eating rats!

Ryan Phillipe is a good actor but not macho enough for Darth Vader; neither is Hayden. However, Hayden CAN act well if given good material --- see the excellent biopic "Shattered Glass" for proof. I thought Darth Vader should be a charismatic badass who lets his own ego seduce him into the Dark...

It looks like poop. Brain dead, big money poop. For dummies. :p

CNR is still alive (as is Brett Somers), and both are doing autobiographical one man shows (or one woman shows, in Brett's case) but Gene Rayburn died in 1999. I watch Game Show Network all the time, and Match Game is my favorite game show ever, because it is so wacky, naughty, not politically...

The scumbags who send me fax spam have ________ in their souls! :]

Another crappy time travel episode. Meaningless nonsense! Kill some damn aliens, why don't you?

The do not call list has worked beautifully for me; I hardly ever get any unwanted calls. Unfortunately, I now get tons of unwanted spam faxes trying to sell me vacations & mortgages from shady companies. This is worse than anything, as it ties up my line, wastes paper and ink and I never wanted...

RoN and T&P are click-fests, far worse than any other RTS I've ever played. You're constantly clicking buildings for upgrades. The game is okay (I've played the RoN/T&P demo at least a dozen times, and every time felt like the heart and soul was missing. The Conquer The World campaign was the...

Gigan rulz: birdfaced cyclops, with hook hands and a buzzsaw in his chest!

I saw a bit of it last night: Terrible! The music was wildly inappropriate (good for a satanic horror film like The Omen, but lousy for a killer dinsosaur pic), the acting poor (especially the Australian dinocroc hunter), and the CGI effects dreadful, akin to a cheap video game whenever the...
