D&D movie
Back in high school, I remember seeing these guys sitting around a table with a game board and dice, with zero ladies around. They were in a different class of Nerds than other Nerds. They were concerned with Magic points and HP than getting laid. I wasn't a nerd or a geek during those years, so I didn't get the whole catch behind D&D. I remembered getting into Phantasy Star on the Sega Master system, never realizing that Phantasy Star and Final Fantasy were strongly based on D&D games. However, the kids in school that played D&D weren’t able to conceal their total geek-dom like I was, a videogame RPG player. Back then; it wasn’t hip to announce that you were a level 73 Warrior, subbing a Monk class. (I am a recovering Final Fantasy XI online freak). WOW and FF changed that perception, since even the star football player has a RPG character online.
There’s always been a stigma to being an RPG player or a D&D player, and the ladies aren’t generally falling over themselves to get the best D&D player in the state. So, I found this movie to be fairly funny.
I like how they got all little things right in the movie. The big guy is wearing a Dragon shirt that I’ve so many of these D&D guys wear all the time. (Note: Strangely enough, I saw a few of them in the audience in the 300 theater).
Best moments…
One of the guys asks the pizza delivery lady out on a date, but he has to close the door to do it.
The other D&D guy says his D&D prayers at the dinner table as the Christian family members attempt to say their prayers.
Comments
I have a friend who is a huge D&D fan and I always ask him rpg questions about stats and so on.
I also have to admit that I've tried to play one of these type of D&D games.
Is that true?
