Omg lol I just realized when I posted about Thor 2 and Transformers 2/3, I meant to post it here. For some reason, it ended up on the chat thread. No wonder the conversation got awkward

I hate it when people say that Arkham Asylum was based on Batman and not you know, Lovecraft.

While the Lovecraftian roots are deeply laid out, I don't know if its fair to hate people who know of Batman before they learn of Lovecraft.

My jimmies are rustled to the point of granulation when someone refers to Touhou as an anime.

Ah yes, Arkham Horror. I wonder if we could turn it into a forum game.

I always begin by talking about Arkham Horror. A lovecraftian-themed game. That is the only way you can ever insert Arkham into a conversation without it having to be about Batman.

Nontheless, people still say "Oh you mean like Arkham Asylum?"

Facepalm.

Impossible but there is software for it. VASSAL. look it up. We can theoretically play it alongside alot of people, but 1 game would take ages to finish.

Note that to run AH on vassal, you would still need to own the boardgame. Or just be very proficient.
