Something Not So Awful
 by Fëanor

Thanks to Sarcasmo (as always) for linking to Something Awful, where I found many gems like these. Here are some more. Besides the LotR Christmas, there were also some video game crossovers, most of which simply confused me (I guess I'm not up on my video games so much anymore). But these were great, as were these.

In other news, less funny, Super Tarzan, Peccable, TrackerNeil, poppy, and I enjoyed our first game of "Betrayal at House on the Hill" last night. It was pretty great; we all had a lot of fun. It's a very clever and fun way of putting you in the middle of a cheesy B-movie, complete with evil monkey toys and blood daggers. My only problem is that the rules are sometimes a little vague, and sometimes it's really a pain trying to find the one little cardboard token that you need among the HUNDREDS of them in the box. But besides that, it's just tons of fun. It's a tile-laying game crossed with an adventure rpg board game--Hero Quest re-imagined by a German by way of Hollywood. If you can wrap your mind around that. Anyway, we appeased the crazed ghostly bride before she could marry me in death, so I feel pretty good about that.

UPDATE: Btw, for those interested, the main page of LotR Christmas images is here, and the main page of Video Game Crossover images is here. I lovingly hand-picked you the best images, but you can look at the rest if you must. Sigh.
