It is inexplicable, the kind of satisfaction you can get from playing a simple, motion picture-less game. Something that doesn't require you to go "ARRGHH A DEMON SHOOT IT!!!" but rather, "ah, a demon. I'm going to roll a die.... DAMN, a ONE." There's just something exceedingly humorous about that. The best part of board and card games... is that you're always in conversation with your friends. And it's also a lot more funny when you get three 1's in a row and get slaughtered. The game I played the other day was a simple card game, called Citadels. There are a bunch of character cards with different abilities, and another whole bunch of cards called Districts. The objective is to build a set number of districts, using your gold and abilities. When you look at the deck, you go like, "That stack is so small, how the hell does this game work?". But then you actually start playing. And keep playing. After your first game ends, you go eat dinner. Then, after your second game ends, you eat dinner again. Okay, not really, but it's a lot more fun than it looks.
So maybe, just maybe... One day I'll head down to Toys 'R Us and buy D&D.
Also, good news for anyone who has ever played the Diablo series, and wants more. After over four years of rumours and speculations, we have yet again received news about the making of Diablo 3. Look, they even have a design for the cover...
Wonder who that is, though. Could be Belial or Azmodan. Or it could be something totally unrelated to the Diablo universe. Damnit Blizzard, hurry up. I'd do an essay about the series, but that would make me sound like some kind of obsessed freak. Remember kids, all because you are, it doesn't mean others have to know.
Also, I watched The Last Legion yesterday. It sucked. The dialogue was retarded, and it was basically The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, without all the cool characters, less special effects, and the Great Wall of England thingy instead of Helm's Deep. Plus, everything that was supposed to be funny, just wasn't. I swear, when some idiot across the theatre laughed at something that wasn't even slightly amusing, I had this overwhelming urge to throw a very sharp pencil at him. Oh, and can someone tell me why "dialogue" and "theatre" are red-lined? What other way can you spell them?
We all should get one of these dice.
Because then we would never not know what to do.
