The plot outline for the new movie, "I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer", is, 'A group of teenagers in Colorado find themselves being stalked and killed one-by-one by a mysterious figure with a hook'.

Sound familiar?

No - in JtRH one of the teenagers is replaced by an adult who conveniently has a sword.

But how many teenagers are playing JtRH and get so immersed in the game they think they are Beethro?

Of course, a good imagination helps, and both playing games and watching movies, you generally have to throw any thoughts of reality through the window.

No? Oh well, I guess it's a good thing we don't all have the same sense of humour.

Well, there's at least one adult player who thought that he was the Slayer.

You bet it sounds familiar. It sounds just like the movies "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer".

Yeah, stay tuned for the next smashing hits, "Hypnotherapy Helped Me Forget What You Did Last Summer" and "I Don't Know Who You Are Or What You Did Last Summer, But I'm Gonna Kill You Anyway".

And in the same vein - how come someone made an album about Oneiromancer?

According to google, a oneiromancer is "someone who divines through the interpretation of dreams".

Yes, the name is hardly original, and in fact I learned of it from Neil Gaiman's Sandman series (my avatar is the main character of the series). I'm definitely not the only person to use it online, not even on forums...you might be surprised how many forums have the name already taken.

Game on,

Speaking of DROD and movies...Does this scene remind you of something?

Perhaps the extra sword explains why if the Slayer steps on you, it kills you! He's using that sword, which is normally sheathed, in order to hit Beethro when the delver gets too close!

Well if you look at the picture of the slayer in the bottom left corner of the DROD menu, it becomes painfully obvious why stepping on Beethro would kill him.

Looking at it, I'm not so sure. The Slayer in that picture looks like he'd only kill Beethro with either the hook or if Beethro tried to jump on him for some reason. I think if he ran into Beethro, he'd probably bounce off.

Dude, haven't you seen the spikes on his ankles? Besides, The slayer might shoulder charge him. I mean, they are some nasty spikes.

It's like those stereotypical supervillain collars, except much more deadly. He could poke an eye out with one of those!

c'mon, use your imagination. I mean, he's a evil killer, not some warped jester.
