Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

The Hollywood Reporter has Wesley Strick signed on to write the update to the Freddy Kruger franchise.

The new project will keep the high school setting and delve deeper in the psychology of nightmares and Krueger himself. The plan is to have a dark tone. The company hopes to have the movie ready for the 25th anniversary of the original.

Strick has previously penned Arachnophobia and Cape Fear.

How hard is it to write these things? Kids fall asleep, Freddy attacks. One or two survive after apparently defeating Freddy.

You just need the Family Guy Sea-Critter Idea Tank for new kids with new hobbies, and that’s that.
