MST3K Rolling Rating Scheme

November 6, 2007

This post should be updated quite often, with each new Mystery Science Theater 3000 I see. If you haven’t seen any of them, you really should. The premise is you have three guys who make wisecracks at bad movies.

Key:

E = Excellent (would watch again at drop of a hat)

G = Good (would watch again and suggest it to other people)

O = Okay (might watch again)

B = Bad (won’t watch again)

H = Horrible or Unwatchable (might have had to stop a time or two while watching, or just stop)

Jack Frost E
World of Batwoman H
Operation Double 007 B
Girlstown E
This Island Earth G
Deathstalker G
Final Sacrifice G
Space Mutiny G
Hamlet G
Horror of Party Beach B
Mitchell G
Master Ninja I G
Earth vs the Spider B
Manos the Hand of Fate B
Soultaker G
Zombie Nightmare E
Attack of the Killer Shrews B
Sinister Urge G
Viking Women O

Night of the Blood Beast O
Hobgoblins B
Master Ninja II O
Rebel Set O
Viking Women O
Attack of the Giant Leeches O
Castle of Fu Manchu B

A Thanks…

November 6, 2006

As of now I’ve completely forgotten to mention the others who have helped this world come together.
The first and greatest thanks goes to Jason Graham, my partner in crime in creating the world. He created Deneamus and I’ve had my hands full creating a character that fits with Jason’s view of the god of evil. Jason also collaborated a lot with me and sparked my imagination instead of criticizing it. The name Elethius is solely his, being attached to a Blacktooth dragon, but it was a name that we flung around for a seemingly temporary character and I put it on my Lightning Elementalist. My claim now is that Elethius the elf is named after the legendary blacktooth dragon, much like there is a Trasc the 2nd who is a legendary swordsman during the century war. I extend to Jason any IP from this site or my brain if he needs it, but the guy is so freaking creative I’m afraid he never will.
Jason was also part of my Odyssey of the Mind group in Middle School and High School, and those guys and I held many impromptu roleplaying sessions, often tongue in cheek and involving the characters death less than 30 minutes after creation in a blaze of glory. These sessions sealed the Terahell, Demihell, and Pentahell and their heirarchy, as well as significantly improved ability to storytell on the fly.
Mike Beyer, James Hines, Drew Beyer, and Pat Carroll were the other members of team OM, and even though they all had different approaches, I know I have a lot of stories from all them and a much deeper understanding of my own world.
Jarnigan Cook was the guy who introduced me to fantasy and role playing games, which definitely had a part in telling me the stories already told and pushing my imagination to tell those kinds of stories.
Lindsay Orndorff was the beginning of the new wave of inspiration. She pushed me to turn the story/world into a webcomic, and convinced me to take a second look at the world, especially as a setting for a good story. This was a huge push as it forced me to think of things in concrete terms that others could interact with. The comic never took off, but my overactive imagination, as always, did. Lindsay joined Bryce Bullock and Arthur Rudnick and a shitload of others in the Dungeons and Dragons campaign that had a good start, but died after dead week of fall quarter.
Lastly, I’d like to thank anyone who reads this and gives me suggestions on what I am missing or any errors (grammatical or continuity) that occur.

Particle Class Song – To the Tune of ‘Particle Man’ by They Might Be Giants

July 22, 2006

Particle Class, Particle Class
Homework’s the reason that I’ll pass
Whens the test? It’s not important
Particle Class
Is it a quark?
Is it spin up?
Is it’s parity all messed up?
Or can it’s energy suddenly drop?
Nobody knows, particle class

Mechanical Class, Mechanical Class
Mechanical Class hates Particle Class
They have a fight, Mechanical wins
Mechanical Class

<Accordion Solo>

Universe Class, Universe Class
Spacetime geometry warped by mass
Usually makes nonlinear sense
Universe Class
He’s got a watch with a timelike hand
A spacelike hand, and a lightlike hand
When they meet it’s a contradiction
Powerful math, Universe Class

Quantum Hell, Quantum Hell
We don’t know it’s position well
Lives it’s live in an energy well
Quantum Hell
Is it a wave?
What are it’s states?
Why does it transmit through the plates?
Who can prove transistor gates?
Schroedinger will, in Quantum Hell

Mechanical Class, Mechanical Class
Mechanical Class hates Quantum Class
They have a fight, Mechanical wins
Mechanical Class

Lord of the Rings Drinking Game

June 15, 2006

Adam Leonard and I invented a wonderful drinking game with Lord of the Rings. There are three tiers to this game, so watch out:
Tier One - Will get you pretty bombed and is hilarious in itself

  • Drink whenever there is sexual tension between two characters
    - Twice if it doesn't include Frodo

The beauty of this one is it's simplicity and ability to pervert entire conversations. When Aragorn says 'You have my sword' someone raises a glass and everyone ughs and they all drink. The conversation between Boromir and Frodo is a veritable goldmine for this one, especially since Boromir starts it off with 'There are other paths we can take…'

Tier Two – Attempt ONLY with light beer or dilute cocktails. Assign different rules to different people in the group. Have one person be 'it's mine' another 'my own' and another 'my precious' et cetera. Adam and I drained 30 oz of soda in the first hour of Fellowship following all of the rules, so doing so isn't suggested

  • Drink once whenever there's a shot of just Frodo's hand and the ring.
  • Take a Gulp whenever the scene with Isealdor shows up
  • Take a sip whenever someone utters "It's mine", "my own" or "my precious"
  • Take a drink whenever a good guy does or says something stupid
    -Twice if it's not Pippin
  • Drink whenever Gandalf says something cryptic
  • Take a drink whenever a good guy gets hurt
    -Twice if it's not Frodo
  • Take a drink everytime someone whines or complains
    -Twice if it's not Frodo, Boromir, or Faramir
  • Gulp whenever the eye appears
  • Take a drink whenever greed is brought up
    -Twice if it's not about humans
  • Drink whenever a villain other than Sauron or Saruman speaks
  • Gulp whenever the ring is not allowed to stay somewhere
  • Take a drink every time Merry states the obvious
    -Twice if it's for the benefit of Pippin

Tier Three - The really obscure things. I'm not going to list all of them, but here are some good rules.

Whenever you make a Rocky Horror joke at the screen, you are judged. If it's good everyone else takes a drink. If it's bad, you have to take a drink for everyone that didn't like it.

Whenever an epic speech is made, everyone must cheer in a single breath. Those who lose have to waterfall until all cheers are finished.

Whenever a panoramic shot is made, the person who has drank the most may say 'Visit Scenic New Zealand'. That person can hand out a drink to someone else. If he fucks up saying it, he must take a drink.
Whenever Legolas misses, the person who has drank the least must finish his drink.

Attempt of Concept…

May 4, 2006

I have no problem with LiveJournal and I love it for finding out what my friends are up to, but I really want something that I have much more control over and also will show on google and others as my actual website.

I plan on still posting reviews (hopefully more time in the summer to read and watch) and updates on my life. I also hope to add some random linkage as time goes on and I hope to spruce up this site once finals are over.
