Without spoiling things for those who haven't seen it yet: The parallel I saw was with regards to materialism. It was perhaps a lesser point in Eli than it was in Avatar, but for me it was a much more subtle and less traveled path to it.

Hi guys.
It's nice to see you do things like mulling mechanics from time to time. As much as I like the game reviews and interviews it's always fun to hear d6g throw something new in the mix.

This year I'll: try and get more boardgaming in; try to get my D&D 4 group into other RPG's like Rogue Trader; fail in that attempt; get into playing Warmachine mk2; try and find someone to play Arcane Legions with; continue toshrug indifferently at I-phones and other gadgets.

Considering Avatar. I thought it was a nice bit escapist of cinema that offered a couple of hours of solid entertainment but didn't leave much of a lasting impression.
The movie is undoubtedly overhyped but after having my eyeballs raped by michael Bay's godawful Tranfsormers movie last year I can't bring myself to dis a movie that is no way as bad as that incoherent pile of $#!*.

@ Owen
At least Pop Idol and it's successors were mildly entertaining. It was my country that spawned the worldwide broadcasted abomination Big Brother.
I never saw the US version of Red Dwarf. Why was it awful? Did it need more smeg and less smug?

As always, D6G delivers. Can't say enough good things.

Gee... I don't know what to post here anymore now that you guys did the Flames of War segment. I have nothing to complain about!
