D&D: Tool of the Devil or just sad?
Posted on January 21st, 2009 | by admin |I was stumbling through the internet today and I came across a cartoon that had me in hysterics but before I give you the link, I have to tell you a little story. Today, first person shooters and other violent video games are said to lead to school shootings and the general descent of the western world. When I was in my teens, Dungeons and Dragons pen and paper games were in the news for a lot of the same reasons. Apparently, to even play the game, you had to have sold your soul to the Devil and dedicated your life to evil. Well, I have always loved games of all types and I was dying to play. The only thing stopping me was my mom. She had seen all the shows about D&D and refused to have its “corrupting influence” in her house. I finally got arround to sitting in on a game in college and I did not see the attraction. It was so boring that I think I fell asleep in mid-battle. My mom passed a few years ago but I wish she was around to see this movie clip because it is as close to my actual D&D experience as I have ever seen. It may take a few minutes to load but watch it and tell me what you think.
