When I heard the Robot Chicken was sitting down for some D&D with Wizards of the Coast Dungeon Master Chris Perkins (yes, the same DM who runs the PA/PvP/WW games), I couldn’t wait to see Seth Green rolling some dice and slaying some monsters! As the first episode began, I was introduced to Dan Milano, Zeb Wells, Tom Root, Doug Goldstein, and …Kevin Schinick? Where’s Seth?! Dammit. Who are these guys, why have most of them never played D&D and why aren’t they funnier?

If you would like to watch the videos of Robot Chicken playing D&D, even through they don’t feature Seth Green, you can find them all here. Meanwhile, I will find comfort in the possibility this raises that the upcoming PA/PvP/WW game (yes, there is another on it’s way!) will be a video podcast - that would be amazing!

EDIT: I just found out why Seth Green couldn’t make it - he was too busy making a guest appearance over on WWE! FTW?

Pardon me if this rant is incomprehensible, but my blood boiling makes it hard for me to think straight.

The remake is the genre of the 2000’s, everyone knows that. Every year it becomes bolder as it recycles more and more current material. A movie’s only 20 years old? RIPE for a remake! But this latest move is unconscionable.

Fran Rubel Kuzui, the director of the 1992 film version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (written by then-unknown Joss Whedon) has maintained the film rights and is going to use them to make a remake/relaunch of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As of yet, it will not involve any of the actors/actresses from any of the previous versions, nor is Joss Whedon involved in any way.

With the rabid cult like addiction millions of fans have to Whedon’s version of Buffy, I don’t see how even Kuzui’s money-blinded eyes can think this will work out. I honestly cannot enunciate the mixture of rage and confusion this fills me with. I’m going to go burn some effigies, regroup myself and see if I can process this news any better…
