I’d give it a shot, but I honestly leave my home only once a week, which makes these types of games less appealing to me.

I almost never travel either.

I’d still play a game that let me use/invest in local resources generously, and unlock more areas with travel.

I’d never be competitive in such a game, but I’m comfortable with that.

I remember Knight Moves too! Christopher Lambert was never a great actor but I enjoyed watching him work nonetheless.

“Bunny! Ball ball!!”

Hudson Hawk.

Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello are cat burglars who synchronize their movements by singing, which does not seem at all subtle or stealthy.

It’s batshit insane. But it’s also very fun. I saw it in the theater.

The hobo code and hobo nickels made it into the game too. It was fairly comprehensive.

John Hodgman wrote the book The Areas of My Expertise, which has a list of hobo names for some bizarre reason.

Kingdom of Loathing, in making a multi-player clan hobo dungeon, used that list of names as a random hobo name generator, and then named the boss of the whole place Hodgman, the Hoboverlord.

I went to a standup show where Hodgman was supposed to do a set and he had cancelled, replaced with Brian Posehn. Brian was also awesome but I really wanted to tell John Hodgman how he inadvertently saved my life.

Now the details of how you get that specific item are even weirder but I’m done phone typing.

I once helped someone get a Hodgman’s Imaginary Hamster and in return he gifted me a few IRL pot plants (Super Lemon Haze, a damn good strain) that I used to pull myself and my Dad out of a pit.

Game inadvertently saved our lives, and I still haven’t gotten to thank John Hodgman.

(Yes, the game is that insane and silly. Getting that damn hamster requires at least 10 people working together.)

Very good and very silly game.

To prove it’s safe, he will have… Don Jr do a line in a live conference.

Yeah, 2nd edition d&d was far, far more brutal than 5e.

I’d love to see a movie that actually adapts the book. Heinlein has written that the book carried through to a logical end what happens when only veterans can vote: They find a way to always be at war with something.

Hence the war with the bugs, which are everywhere, different, and just scary enough.

An actual adaptation of the book will not detract from the prior movie, which nailed the propaganda but little else.

Fight Club.

That Dust Brothers soundtrack stands well enough on its own.

I’ve been looking forward to it but don’t go to the theaters anymore really.

I don’t know his work but that background makes so much sense because as good as these games are, they are extremely rigid. There is only one plot path to success.

There’s a point in It Takes Two that some people might not want to take the action suggested, but you have to in order to move the story forward.

(Slight spoiler, it involves deliberately attempting to make their daughter cry.)

I knew that and it took all day for it to percolate that I’d learned it from Kingdom of Loathing.

As the one who said it was a remake of a show, I will give you that. It was peak adaptation of an older show. You’re very right there, it’s a damn good movie that stands on its own, regardless of where the idea came from.

I just liked throwing that typical argument back in the face of the writer. Hollywood keeps trying to recapture that lightning in a bottle, and gets criticized for it.

We just had The Fall Guy, too!

It was a remake of an old TV show.

I thought Hollywood was all out of ideas?!

Hundreds of Beavers.

I knew nothing about it going in other than good buzz, and it never drew me in at all. Made it about twenty minutes.

Way back in the day? My mom and I walked out of Death Becomes Her in the theater. It’s a very tonally confused movie, but the main issue was that it had been days or weeks since her mom had died.

In 1983 or so I bought a Japanese themed RPG for the Apple IIe published by EA.

It didn’t like the disk drive we had, so the copy protection would reboot over and over.

There were only two models of disk drive for the Apple IIe.

EA has always been this way.
