perldiver at 01:58am on 23/03/2010I just watched The Gamers: Dorkness Rising on Netflix Instant Play. If you are or have ever been a gamer, most especially an AD&D player, give it a chance.
It's the story of a group of friends playing an AD&D module. It's full of injokes and references, it's made on a budget of about $10 and a box of pizza, some of it is puerile, and parts of it drag a bit. Despite all that, it's also got some really sweet moments, it's very nostalgia-worthy (you'll be nodding along going "yup, I've played that tavern scene / had that conversation with the king / said that to a fellow PC"), and parts of it had me in stitches -- the fight at Goblin Pass where Daphne has her first taste of combat was especially good.
Honestly, I wish this were a series.
