    The Munsters

    It had money and people that gave a shit adapting a goofy sitcome/comic back in 1991. Miracle!

    The D&D thread

    It was/is even worse than that. WotC tried to repackage 4th edition as Dungeons and Dragons Essentials. Basically they stripped it way down while claiming it was compatible with the existing system. That was true but aside from very specific cream skimming you would never incorporate anything...

    The Munsters

    The Adams Family being good and having a sequel that was good is almost a minor miracle. The Adams Family pinball machine is the best selling and maybe greatest pinball machine of all time.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    WWZ can eat my ass. The book is excellent. The movie has one or two lines of dialogue from the book plus it kept the title AND NOTHING ELSE while also being really fucking generic. Oh hey, the main character's daughter is diabetic and that will be a source of conflict and none of these people...

    The D&D thread

    Oh yeah, most of them were just cheap looking. There was also an incentive to include overpowered shit in them so someone would buy your book versus someone else's. There were also really gimmick ones like all adult themed wank or all evil stuff.

    The D&D thread

    While 3.0 and 3.5 were very good editions of Dungeons and Dragons the SRD opening gaming license thing led to every game company making a d20 version of their game and a sea of d20 products on the shelves. Shadowrun d20, Deadlands d20, 7th Sea d20, Star Wars d20, Legend of the Five Rings d20...

    The D&D thread

    4th edition launched in a terrible state. Aesthetically the core three books themselves were all really bad. You put a 5th edition phb next to a 4th edition phb and flip through them both and it stands out how much effort went in to 5th and how little in to 4th. The 4th edition classes are all...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    This scene for sure. Looking at the Wikipedia entry it looks like the author was drew some inspiration from the student that disappeared back in '79 that got blamed on DnD. Kid goes missing, must be DnD, has nothing to do with DnD, people still bring it up years later.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    I know now it's an anti-DnD movie but I had no clue of that when I first saw it. I knew what DnD was. I knew about some of the Christian fundie outage over it. The movie does almost nothing to establish its the game that messes Tom Hanks up. He's the only one that goes crazy and its very plainly...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Oh fuck, I think my mom took me to that one too. In hindsight she was a real trooper. Super Mario Bros. was awful and I clearly made terrible decisions about what to see.

    Is Annihilation the one that opens up with Johnny Cage being killed? That one was bad in ways that hurt.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    I collected the cards back when I was only a little Arbitrary and got my mom to take me to see this. It was the worst piece of shit she had seen to date and she brought it up for years whenever I suggested going to see a movie.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    I've occasionally been tempted to give A Serbian Film a try now that we're well past all the hype but putting something on that I know is going to be a bad time isn't really my thing.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    There's certainly an argument to be made regarding what is and is not up for consideration in a discussion of worst movies. No, your shot-on-video puke gore fetish video is not a film. There's a level of time, money and effort that needs to go in or it just doesn't count.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Audition was it for me regarding gore. I know it's not on the same level as what would come after but that was the one that taught me that I don't give a single fuck about torture porn. It has zero of the things I like about the horror genre and I don't find any part of it scary. Reading a...

    I linked this somewhere else but I'll do it again here He explains in as "don't ban me please" as possible what happens in everything down a couple levels and it gets really bad. A Serbian Film only makes it down three steps. It gets so much worse.

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    The live action Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers was completely unwatchable. I drove a decent ways to go see it and left maybe a half hour in. That extra time and money that I wasted makes it really stand out in my memory versus seeing watching something at home that turned out to be garbage and...

    Although I agree neither are any fun I still really, really like how The Devil's Rejects was able to start out with some genuinely awful human beings and somehow manage to make them sympathetic as they're hunted by the brother of the cop they murdered in the first film. Haven't seen the third...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    What if I wanted that Gold Plated Koshigatana? It's not my fault I couldn't be there. They should have waited until everyone could be there. It's inherently problematic to kill raid targets when not everyone is able to equally participate in the participation of equity.

    Fred Gwynne is a huge part of why Pet Sematary managed to be so memorable. The dude is just doing work every scene he's in and then he has that fucking horrible death at the end when you really like the guy.

    I don't understand what this is. Back in the late 1990s to the early 2000s there were a bunch of adaptations of old boomer TV shows but we're well past that. It doesn't look like some sort of bizarre reinterpretation of the original show either. Did he just love the show as a kid and want to do...

    Being level 40 for a month is kinda shitty, double loot was broken at the start (and you can still find NPCs that haven't been killed yet and still have single loot), zone level restrictions were broken, zone level restrictions for at least the Plane of Growth instance are still broken, the...
