- misnome 11y agoThis is indeed mentioned in the article.
- mrspeaker 11y agoI'm no Tom Hanks fan, but he held that mess together and made an amazingly terrible idea only mildly hilarious.
- eggy 11y agoI was in the gaming club in HS in 1979 to 1982, and we basically played military strategy games and D&D. The Tom Hanks movie still resonates, because I remember thinking I didn't know anybody like the characters in our club. My parents only wanted me to balance it with 'real life', getting out and breathing some fresh air (in Brooklyn ;)
- rosser 11y agoYeah, I enjoyed the hell out of Mazes & Monsters — ironically, of course — but there is no conceivable way I can get behind calling it "good".
