Bender’s Game Begins; Roll Saving Throw Immediately
The best part of the recent Futurama DVD movie The Beast with a Million Backs? The trailer for the third Futurama DVD movie, Bender’s Game. I’ll admit, I’m totally biased about making fun of Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons, which I feel could be mocked for all eternity (and yes, I played. A lot). I wonder if Gygax recorded any lines for the flick before he died. Al Gore slapping the dice out of his hand in “Anthology of Interest” is one of my favorite Futurama moments ever. (Via Gizmodo)
