Why didn’t Plato play Dungeons and Dragons? Indiana Jones movie thoughts.

May 29, 2008 in MOVIES, ROLE PLAYING GAMES, THE SIMPSONS NEWS

THE SIMPSONS NEWS

As of the time of this writing, the actors haven’t signed. The table read has been postponed until Monday. If they sign this week, Fox won’t wait until next Thursday for the cast read. This means the show might begin storyboarding and designing next week and layout might start near the middle of July.

Please pray that things get settled soon. Thanks.

ROLE PLAYING GAMES

So I was reading an article in a gaming news site that really caught my attention. It asked a very interesting question which went like this:

Pong, released in 1972, relied on cutting-edge electronics. Dungeons & Dragons, which appeared two years later, employed technologies that had existed for thousands of years. The odd-shaped dice used to play original D&D – the pyramids, the icosahedrons, the strange gear of so many roleplaying games – are the five Platonic solids. The Greeks had advanced math, writing, drama, myth and lots of leisure time – not to mention an academy at Athens loaded with nerds. So why didn’t Plato ever think to deck out a dungeon for his fellows to loot?

The article itself is a little all over the place but in the end, it does answer the question. It’s interesting but it made me wonder how different games would be, had someone invented Role Playing Games (RPGs) earlier in history. Just look at what D&D has done in the short while it’s been around. If it wasn’t for D&D, games like World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings Online wouldn’t exist. These games are basically taking similar D&D mechanics and instead of rolling dice, uses computer generated randomness to calculate successes or failure. But of course the biggest difference between games like this and a tabletop RPG is the lack of versatility the computer game has. Where in a tabletop RPG you can do anything and go anywhere you want, computer RPGs are limited to what the computer game program allows you to do.

Well anyway, I just thought it was a very interesting article and it just made me think.

MOVIES

Last Monday, Alesha and I went to go see the new Indiana Jones movie. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. For quite some time now I’ve had the feeling that the movie wasn’t going to be all that good. I thought it might be about as good as Temple of Doom, and I’m not a big fan of Temple of Doom. Well, we sat down in the theater at 11:45 am (less expensive around that time) and watched the movie. We were treated to pretty much what I expected, an entertaining, forgettable, shallow movie. In fact, even though it was entertaining, the movie just seemed to go through the motions of an Indiana Jones movie, but lacked the heart of an Indiana Jones movie. I actually think Temple of Doom is better. At least in that movie, the action had a purpose. There was always something greater at stake than just showing a fight. Not in this movie. In fact, the fights were so meaningless that they felt like I was watching a video game.

In a video game, you might enter an area to get some treasure or a key or something and then you get attacked by random ninjas that “spawn” before you or just come out of the wood work. You fight them, defeat them, get the treasure or whatever and then you go to the next area, where you get attacked by random ninjas again, you defeat them, get in a car were you get attacked by more random ninjas…and so on. Well, this new Indiana Jones movie not only felt just like this, it actually had “random ninjas”, in the form of natives, that came out of nowhere just to fight them. It was ridiculous and the main bad guys, who were communist Russians, were no better than that as well. They weren’t even an actual threat. I never, for one second, thought Indiana Jones was in some sort of danger while they were around, which was not the case in any of the other movies.

Not only that but the creators of the movie assumed every one in the audience was as big a moron as the characters in the movie and had to spell everything out for us. (The following is not a spoiler) There actually was a moment at the end of the movie where the characters of the movie discover the big ‘mysterious secret’ of the movie but the audience had pretty much figured it out from having watched the first ten minutes of the film. It was embarrassing. Am I suppose to respect these heroes if they don’t even have the same common sense as the audience? None of the other films talked down to the audience like this (although Temple of Doom came close).

Overall, the movie was a little worse then I thought it was going to be. It did have it’s moments though. It might be a great movie to watch and make fun of with a group of friends and family (like Temple of Doom).

My Simpsons Ride experience

May 22, 2008 in BOARD GAMES, Copyright Protections, THE SIMPSONS NEWS

THE SIMPSONS NEWS

Last Friday I went on the Simpsons ride. I’ll write about it in a second, first though, I should mention what I found out about the Simpsons voice actor’s negotiations. It seems that they are going very well and it shouldn’t take long before an agreement will be met. This is good news for us. It seems we’ll be getting back to work soon (for more on this topic, you can read about it in this Variety article). This has nothing to do with the Screen Actors Guild negotiations, so please don’t mistake one for the other. They are two separate things.

Okay, so now for the Simpsons Ride. On Friday I made my way to Universal Studios at around 11:00am. I felt like a bit of a star because we had free parking passes that got us into a special parking area. I then made my way to a side part of the park where I found a table with a few of my co workers and I was given a pass and got into the park through a side “door”. I made my way, following the signs, to the area of the park where they do a western stunt show. There was a small Simpsons party going on there. I got myself a sandwich and a drink, sat down, and waited for them to tell us it was time to go on the ride. The Simpsons family (people in suits) made an appearance and people were having their pictures taken with them (must have been hot in those suits.) It was a scorching hot day that day. I wasn’t there long (half way through my sandwich) before Matt Groening got on a mic, thanked us (as he always does), made a lame joke (also as he always does) and told us to head on over to the ride.

We all made our way over to it, like a bunch of cattle. It was bit of a long walk from where we were to the ride but when we turned the corner and we had our first look at the facade surrounding the ride, we were all in awe. It was fantastic.

We were very impressed. If you weren’t excited before, you sure were now. It was very cool. We all made our way inside through Krusty’s mouth and walked in.

There were monitors inside, playing the animated shorts that we had worked on specifically for the ride. We made our way through them fairly quickly (we weren’t many). We were herded into a special, antechamber line area, right before a door that lead into, yet another antechamber. We spent the longest time in line there, on the first antechamber. Conversations were struck. Then the door opened and we were escorted into the second antechamber themed like a carnival with “booths” painted on the walls. The “booths” had monitors in them that cycled little animated gags from the Simpsons characters that “manned” the “booths”. I was happy because I had worked on some of those gags and got to see the finished product.

After waiting there for about five minutes or so, we were shown a little animated cartoon on a monitor before us that set up the “story of the ride”. Then we were escorted into yet another antechamber, were we were shown an animated safety video (which I also worked on) featuring Itchy and Scratchy.

When we were finally let onto the ride itself, I was really excited. We sat in the ride’s car and waited as a small animated cycle of Krusty the Clown and Mr. Teeny (his monkey) tap danced on the small screen in front of us (this was animated by my friend Tommy Tejeda). Then the story for the ride continued and the ride began. The roof above us opened up and we were elevated up to the biggest screen I’ve ever seen for a virtual ride, and I’ve been in quite a few. I must say, this is by far the best virtual ride I’ve ever been on. It was fantastic. It almost felt as if we were using 3D glasses in some places because it all seemed to be coming out at you for real. It’s a blast! If you get the chance, go on it. It’s so much fun!

There were a lot of proud happy faces from everyone who helped work on it when we emerged about five minutes after, when the ride was over. My face hurt from smiling so much. I then went into the Kwik-e-Mart they had there for souvenirs and looked around, just to see what they had. They had the Monopoly game I worked on, as well as some of the comics I’d done. It was neat seeing them there. They even had real Buzz Cola there (the fake brand cola of the show). I didn’t buy anything though.

I kept wishing my family could have come with me (but they couldn’t since this all was taking place at 11:00 am on a Friday). I kinda wanted them to have experienced it with me. I would have brought my daughter but she was too small to go on the ride so I didn’t bring her. You have to be 40″ high to ride it. After it was over and they closed down the ride, I made my way around the park really quick, just to take advantage of the fact that I had gotten a free pass. I spent that time by myself, missing the company of my family. Especially when I passed the Nickelodeon area and the Curious George Adventure park. I got on a few rides, like the Revenge of the Mummy ride, and got wet on the Jurassic Park Ride (I wanted to get wet because it was so darn hot) and then went home around 3:00 pm in order to avoid traffic (which I didn’t).

In any case, in spite of the fact that I felt a bit lonely at Universal, I had a pretty decent time there. I highly recommend going on the Simpsons’ Ride. IT’S AWESOME!

BOARD GAMES

So as a board game geek, I get a kick out of seeing who else is into board games. I came across this video, while reading my board game news, and thought I’d share it. Turns out the actor Rich Sommer, from the remarkably well written TV show Mad Men, is a big board game geek as well. Here is the proof:

Simpsons Ride invite, Mother’s Day at my house, playing Tigris and Euphrates online, Monastery: The Board Game, Munchkin problems

May 15, 2008 in BOARD GAMES, CATHOLICISM, FAMILY, MY WEEK, SPONSORS, THE SIMPSONS NEWS, VIDEO GAMES

THE SIMPSONS NEWS

I haven’t heard anything yet about getting back to work, but that’s mostly because I haven’t called in to see how things are going. I’m thinking of doing that sometime next week if I don’t heard anything from them.

Meanwhile, I checked my e-mail and I received an invite to go to a preview party, at Universal Studios, for the new Simpsons Ride this Friday. At least we get a small reward for having killed ourselves working on that thing. Can’t wait. I’ll let you know what I think.

FAMILY

For Mother’s Day, my family got together for dinner at our house. We ordered Tai food and pretty much talked and laughed a lot. One of our conversations was about the Indiana Jones movies. We then started talking about how silly and ridiculous Temple of Doom was. I got up and put the movie on, since I own the DVD. By the time we were done with dinner, we were all sitting around the TV watching the movie, making fun of how lame it was, and just having a great time watching it. It was a good fun evening.

BOARD GAMES/VIDEO GAMES

So I decided to go on Board Game Geek to play a game of Tigris & Euphrates using their Play-by-web version of the game on the site. I was doing fairly well for about five turns and then I just got my butt kicked. I ended the game tide for third place out of four people which isn’t very good but I had a blast. In fact, I had such a good time that I immediately joined two more games after the the last one was over.

Tigris & Euphrates is a game designed by Reiner Knizia and it’s by far, one of the most counterintuitive games you’ll ever learn. It’s fun and very very cut throat but it’s difficult to explain and learn. I played it against a free computer program and learned to play it using that before I bought it. It took me three games before I understood what I was doing and then it took me two more before I could even begin to figure out what strategies to use to even have a chance at winning. The first time I played it live, I discovered how crazy cut throat the game really was. The last time I played it was with my brother, his wife Deborah, and my wife Alesha. Alesha got mad at me during that game because I made a move that really messed her up big time. I haven’t played the game with her since. I didn’t really know she’d react that way. Now I’m playing that game online with complete strangers and were really beating each other up in the game and we’re fine with it. Go figure.

CATHOLICISM/BOARD GAMES

So I was reading up on some board game news at the Board game news website and I read a really interesting article about a new board game coming out, from Ragnar Brothers, called Monastery. It’s a 2-4 player game and it lasts 90 minutes. According to the article players:

…experience two days of monastic life. Within each day are three rounds of tile placement and scoring (divided between study and toil), three service rounds (Matins, Sext and Vespers), and a night round.

Wow, how cool is that? To win the game:

…players must collect the letters of the abbey’s motto ‘Libera Nos Quaesumus Ab Omnibus Malis Amen’. The letters become progressively more expensive and players must decide whether to buy letters or recruit extra monks.

As far as I can tell, with my ridiculously bad understanding of Latin, the motto means something like, ‘Liberate us so we could be completely free from evil, amen.’ (if I got this wrong, please feel free to correct me). Wow, religious Latin in my board game.

From the articles I’ve read so far on this game (one on Board game news and the other on BGG), it sounds really pretty darn cool. It looks like there is a lot to it and the theme of being a monk is remarkably well represented in the game:

You start the game with one monk in the Abbey, and monks move about to construct tiles, study, toil, use icons (in the advanced game), or pray. The plastic monk figures are designed to tip forward in prayer, which scores you the value of the tile and takes the monk out of service until it returns to the Abbey. Most of these activities score points for a player, and those points can retrieve letters or additional monks from the “letter grid.”

What other game can you think of where praying is a positive, point giving benefit? I hope it comes out in the U.S., I’d love to buy myself a copy.

MY WEEK

I’ve been fighting with the Munchkin all week, to get her to eat. I sit her down and feed her but she refuses to chew and swallow her food. She just packs the food in her cheeks like a hamster. I’ve tried tricking her by offering her yogurt or even a snow cone while she has food in her mouth, so she could swallow it, but she’s found a way to swallow the yogurt and ice without swallowing the actual food. It’s real frustrating. She only wants snacks treats and milk but not real food. It’s such a pain.

SPONSORS

So I got a new sponsor! Hurray! Thank you Direct TV for advertising on my site. My sponsors are located right in between the “Hi Welcome” greeting and the “Page” “Top Commentators” areas on the right hand side of the blog. Please click on their links and make it worth their while to advertise on this blog. Thank you.

The Ironman movie rocks! Thinking about board games again

May 8, 2008 in BOARD GAMES, COMIC BOOKS, Copyright Protections, MOVIES, SUPERHEROES, THE SIMPSONS NEWS

THE SIMPSONS NEWS

Went down to the studio last Thursday to pick up a few things and the place was dead. My director (who was still there trying to finish the show) said it felt like a library in there. It was dark and quite. Very weird. There are a few people, besides my director still working there. In fact there is one more show that barely got started last Monday. That lucky crew of about eight people, still have work, as well as the retake crew.

MOVIES

OH MY GOSH! I saw the Ironman movie this weekend it totally ROCKED! I was blown away by how much fun I had watching that movie. That’s how superhero movies should be made! It was dramatic where it needed to be, and funny where it needed to be, without being cheesy or making fun of itself, but most importantly, it was REALLY COOL where it needed to be. I loved it. It’s now one of the top three superhero movies on my list of great superhero movies, which originally only had two, Batman Begins and Spider-man 2 (all other superhero movies are merely okay or just downright stink). I want to see it again but I guess I’m just going to have to wait for the DVD. I was definitely geeking out watching that movie. This was one of the few times that the movie was as cool as the trailer made it out to be.

For the last month or so I’ve been reading some of the new New Avengers and Mighty Avengers trade paper backs. They’re really cool and I recommend them. I’ll put the ones I’ve read at the bottom of this paragraph. Ironman is in those comics and I started becoming familiar with the character. I really like him. I’ve found I don’t like the older versions of him. I like him more now. I like how crazy high tech he is. In the older comics he just seem like he’s a guy in skin tight looking armor and it doesn’t come across as if he’s wearing any hardware, which I find kinda dull. I much rather see him look a little more like a machine. In the comics, I also like that fact that he’s a bit of hacker and he’s constantly online and accessing info as he fights. I guess he’s a tech head’s superhero fantasy.

By the way, make sure you stick around until the end of the closing credits for a special surprise. Also, keep your eyes out for Tony Stark (Ironman) in The Incredible Hulk movie because he’s going to make a cameo.

That reminds me, they showed the new trailers for The Incredible Hulk and Batman the Dark Knight during the Ironman movie. The more I see about the Hulk movie, the more excited I get. As far at the Batman movie is concerned, I’m still not sure if I’ll like it or not. Gotta wait and see.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSH3xtygvbA

For more information on the next Ironman Movie and and other Marvel superhero movies coming out, I recommend this link that my friend e-mailed me a few days ago:

Marvel Movies Assemble!

COMIC BOOKS

After the movie, I went to the comic book store near my house. I can’t be spending any money (made an exception for Ironman) but I didn’t have to. It was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY here in the U.S.. Stores all over give out special free comics on that day to promote comics. All the comic book companies are in on it so, it’s really cool to just go to a store and get free comics.

The store I went to, made a big event out of it and had guys dressed as storm troopers walking around as well as a guy dressed up like Darth Vader. They were giving out free Starwars miniatures. I kinda missed out on them because I didn’t see them. In fact, I didn’t see a few free things and I lost my chance at getting some really cool little miniatures.

Anyway, what I did pick up was pretty cool, but by far, the highlight was getting a free Ironman HeroClix figure. The HeroClix game has always looked interesting to me and I’ve always wanted to buy some just to see what they are like but I haven’t wanted to spend the money. Well, I got a figure for free that day and it was just icing on the cake because it was when I was still high from watching the movie. I was sooooo happy. I want to play HeroClix now, so I could play with Ironman.

BOARD GAMES

Since I’m out of job and I’m worring a little about money again, my thoughts have started to go back to board games to take my mind off things. Ironically, this is the worst time to be thinking about them since I can’t buy any new ones, but since I have quite a few, I can just play with the games I’ve got.

Still, I like to at least read about games I don’t have. The games that I’ve been looking into recently have been mostly miniatures games. Like: Warmachine, World of WarCraft Miniatures Game, HeroClix, and Mechwarrior: Dark Age. They all look very interesting to me. I don’t have any miniatures games, except maybe Dreamblade, but that one plays very different than the games I’ve mentioned above. I may or may not get into playing any of these games. We’ll see. They tend to be expensive to get into. Especially Warmachine, since that game requires you to glue together and paint your miniatures. They sure look cool though.

I’m also looking into getting (when I can afford it) the A Game of Thrones card game and the A Game of Thrones board game. Apparently the card game, which is now a collectible card game, will no longer be collectible which means that, if you want to play the game, you just need to buy one box and you’ll get ALL the cards in the entire game. This sounds great to me. This has never been done before, as far I know but Fantasy Flight Games is going to do it. The Game of Thrones games are based on the Song of Ice and Fire series of books by George R. R. Martin (or as my friend Damon calls him: George R. R. R. R. R. R. Martin). I’m a big fan of the series and the games seem to live up to the quality of the books. I’ll write about why these books are great some other time.

In any case, I just thought I’d write about some of the games that look interesting to me.

First week off, Everyone got sick, My amazon store.

May 1, 2008 in FAMILY, MY WEEK, THE SIMPSONS NEWS

THE SIMPSONS NEWS

Well, I’m on hiatus now. What really sucks about that is the fact that, last week, they had told me they were going to keep me until Wednesday in case they needed me. This pretty much meant that I was going to have three more days worth of pay and I probably wasn’t going to have a lot of work to do. On Friday around three o’clock I was told that I wasn’t going to stay and that It was my last day that day…yeah…that really stunk. Not only that, but none of my paper work was done so I didn’t even get my last paycheck that day so now I have to do the paperwork at home and so far I haven’t received it.

Over all, I was a bit heartbroken…but it turned out very Providential that this happened because of what happened with my…

FAMILY

My daughter got my wife, son and me sick last week. I just had a sore throat, no big deal, I seem to always have one anyway. My son had the sniffles and a small cough (poor little baby), but my wife…she got the flu. On Wednesday of last week, around 3:00 a.m., my wife woke up shivering, wondering why it was so cold. The temperature in the house was 80 Fahrenheit. It wasn’t exactly cold. I called in sick that day in order to take care of my wife, but more importantly the kids since they didn’t have a baby sitter I couldn’t leave them with anyone in such short notice.

My wife got better as the day went by. The next day, I went to work, and left the boy with my wife (who stayed home again) and I took Munchkin to her Godmother’s house (Carolina). Later, my mom left work a little early, picked up the Munchkin, and went to our house to help my wife. By the time I got home, my wife was feeling well enough to go to work the next day, and so she did. Perhaps it was a good idea, perhaps not, she ended up feeling sick again that night, and not only that, but she lost her voice from talking so much at the school. I spent the entire weekend taking care of a wife who seemed to be getting worse and that couldn’t talk to me. Friday night she couldn’t stop coughing for a good hour. It was awful. It made her throw up. My son, who seemed to be getting better one day, would get worse the next, and my daughter…she’s just a big ball of energy. She’s almost always a handful, even with a very cough that only showed up once a day.

Saturday night my wife had another coughing fit. I was doing everything I could do to make her feel as well as possible. My wife went through lots of lemons and honey. She coughed so much, she got a headache. Sunday was the worst day because around 2:00 a.m., she woke up with a fever. Fortunately, it was gone by seven o’clock that morning. The boy, got sicker that night. He didn’t want to eat and he cried a lot. He was coughing up a storm. My wife, on the other hand, had a really good night that night. She was feeling much, much better.

Monday came and everyone was still sick. The boy woke up with a dry throat and he cried every time he coughed. We remedied the situation quick and made a doctor’s appointment for him, just to make sure he was okay (by “okay” I mean, that he didn’t have more then just a cold). The appointment was for that day. I quickly went to the store to buy food (we were running out), and then I took the boy to the doctor who told me he only had a cold and then he gave me some advice as to how to treat it. It was good piece of mind.

My wife was feeling a lot better that day and her voice had returned. She was up (even though I advised her not to be). She wanted to be up. By the end of the day, she was feeling well enough to go to work the next day and so she did. She went to work because, since she is only a part time teacher at her school, she doesn’t get payed sick days (she’s our only source of income). It went okay for her but she’s still sick and she had a bad night that night. The next day she went to the doctor to find out why. The doctor told her she had a bad case of the flu and gave her some antibiotics. As of the time of this writing, she’s still sick. Hopefully, with the help of the antibiotics, she will finally start getting better.

MY WEEK

In order to make a little bit of extra money on the side, I put up an Amazon store on the site. If you look up near the top of the webpage, you will see a new page tab next to the Illustrated trip to Italy tab. Clicking on it will take you to my Amazon store. You will find some of the Simpsons products I’ve work on over the years, including a Simpsons Monopoly game (GASP! Monopoly!).

Sounds bad. It’ll be time to do something soon. Better get ready. I’ll keep you posted.
