Back to the old days.  Darren will remember this and I can't believe one of us didn't already bring it up in the thread.  "A dark castle rises up from the ground at about a miles distance.  What do you do?"

"Ah, go the other way."

So began the yearly event for Stryper and Yagar.  I wasn't letting a perfectly good "module" be ignored.  I made them feel a little guilty the first time, but mentioning the carnage wrot by the castle's inhabitants on innocent locals and every year it popped up for them to attempt to defeat.  I think it took three tries. 

If it's half what they say it is, that's very very cool.

Technologically possible now:

Since the term here is "memorable" - I think Mat's resurrection and the impact on the campaign itself, the character's attitudes and game culture could be described as nothing less than memorable.

There have been situations of character strife in games past, but this one was unique. Everyone acted in accord with their character's will rather than the players' will, even to the demise of the campaign.

I'm going to add the Matt scenario here. Not because it was fun or positive, but for the exact opposite reasons. I doubt that we would have made similar character decisions in the past.

Does that make sense?

Wow good stuff here....

Finally saw this on Sunday. Good movie, some fun action and definitely cheesy one-liners. It is what it is - a low-grade, testosterone filled guy flick.

The only issue that I had was - WAY TOO MUCH close up work with the camera. Everything was a closup. The few wide angle action shots were GREAT.....

Here is a review from one of the guys on ostate.com...

Saw it. It's an incoherent, bloated, ridiculously testosterone addled mess full of stupidly large knives, guns, and explosions, 10s of thousands of rounds fired at the heroes without a single hit, and bad acting from a motley crew of MMA fighters, martial artists, professional wrestlers, and over the hill actors trying to recapture their glory days with nothing but HGH, and bad one liners to support them.

In other words, 100% PURE AWESOMENESS!

I actually loved it. Turn off your brain, close your critical eye and have fun just being a {}#^*€?ing guy for an hour and a half.

It wasn't perfect, but it was really fun.  I'd have perferred more intensity, however, the tact they took was good.  The arranged the start power, with one exception, into great chemistry.  The instant cult classic has a lot of old warrior moments that will bring a smile to the action role playing crowd.  It's not a must for the big screen and is extremely graphicly violent.  In fact, they actually push the frontier in knife wounds and explosive body parts.
