dungeons and dagrons
Oh, the geekiness. As stolen from Boing Boing :
Dungeon Majesty is a cable-access TV show in which four young women play Dungeons and Dragons -- the show is intercut with Z-grade green-screen masks of them staging D&D fights in front of fakey caves or deep in spooky woods, and illustrated with flip-book animations fo D&D monsters drawn in pen on lined paper. This is really fantastic stuff -- it's got nerd pride to burn, and production values that make MST3K look slick.

Uh-oh. I probably should have looked at it more closely before posting...
Posted by: Chris at October 19, 2004 02:58 PM(after watching the teaser) Oh, I see what you mean. The players are all nerd grrls, and their characters are very sex-say, in a disheveled and becostumed sort of way. Right. Carry on.
Posted by: Chris at October 19, 2004 03:08 PMExactly. I mean, this is way more appealing to the average geekboy than an actual porn movie... :-)

Posted by: deb at October 20, 2004 08:55 PMIt's what Strong Mad carves into the desk when Strong Bad is teaching him to draw Trogdor the Burninator.
"I said consummate vees!"

This is geek porn, plain and simple. Don't pretend that it's not.
