Ndazalelwa kwiminyaka yee-‘80s, ke ngoku ukuqonda kwam izinto zonqulo ziyangxama Izisele kunye neDragons yafunyanwa isetyenzisiwe. Izisele ezimnyama , nangona kunjalo, into endiyaziyo kakhulu. Masibekele inqanaba: Ngenisa uJack Chick, umculi weencwadi ezihlekisayo zamaKristu. Ukusukela ngo-1970, inkampani yakhe, uChick Publications, ithengise amakhulu ezigidi zeekopi zamaphecana evangeli anemifanekiso. Ukuba ungumdlali wethebhulethi yetafile, okanye ukuba uhlala umjikeleza kwikona ye-nerdier ye-intanethi, kunokwenzeka ukuba uyibonile le:
Iveliswe ngo-1984, Izisele ezimnyama inesidima esithile phakathi kwabadlala indima. Le yi eyona ilungileyo yokothuka ngokuziphatha, umzala kokhokho ka uharry Potter Ukutshiswa kweencwadi. Kumaphepha ahlukanisiweyo ephecana, sifunda ukuba ukuphikisana malunga nemithetho esokolayo ejikeleze itafile yothuli iCheeto ayinanto ilungileyo. Ii-RPGs, uyabona, sisixhobo sikaSathana, esetyenziselwa ukuloba iingqondo ezincinci kubugqwirha.
Ndiyazi. Ndiyazi.
Ngenisa umdlali wethu wesibini, uZombie Orpheus Ukuzonwabisa, inkampani yemveliso ye-indie enxulumene neklasikhi yakudala Abadlala umdlalo iifilimu. Bajoyina imikhosi kunye ne-JR Ralls, umntu owayenaye ufumene amalungelo efilimu ukuya Izisele ezimnyama . Kodwa nangona umntu enokulindela ukuba inkampani yabadlali abanzima ukuba bathathe into ekhubekisayo, i-ZOE ikhethe enye indlela. Iparody yayiza kuba lula kakhulu (okanye mhlawumbi, inzima kakhulu). Endaweni yokuba banikele Izisele ezimnyama eyona nto ibisoloko ifuna: into efileyo ethembekileyo, ethembekileyo ethembekileyo.
Kule ndawo ndikhunjuzwa ngemovie eyahluke kakhulu: Singin 'Emvuleni . (Ndithwale.) Umchasi wayo yinkwenkwezi yefilimu eyintsomi uLina Lamont, onobuntu obucekisekayo kunye nokusilela kwetalente efihliweyo ngononophelo kuluntu. Njengoko uLina evuna umvuzo wakhe wempumelelo yakhe engafanelekanga, amaqhawe ethu ayaqonda ukuba ukumhlisa ezantsi, akufuneki azithobe kwinqanaba lakhe. Bayama nje emva koko bamvumela ukuba athethe ngelizwi lakhe.
Ukuba siza kuthatha Izisele ezimnyama Ifilimu ngexabiso lobuso, emva koko kuya kufuneka ndivume, ndifunde isifundo esibaluleke kakhulu: bendidlala i-RPGs ngokungalunganga ngalo lonke eli xesha. Kwi-subculture eyoyikekayo etyhilwe kwiscreen, ii-RPGs zezona zinto zingumtsalane wamaqela asendle, orgiastic frat, agqitywe ngeekomityi ezibomvu kunye neekickin 'bass. Kukuqonda kwam ukuba la maqela ayinto oyiphosayo xa uchitha imali yakho oyisebenzele nzima kwizongezo zodidi, kodwa ngokucacileyo, amehlo am ebengavulwanga ngokufanelekileyo. Njengokuba itheko liphuphuma lifikelela kuvuthondaba, umzalwana omi phezu kwetafile, ilizwi lakhe liyaduduma ngenxa yaloo din. Ngaba ukulungele RPG? Uyalila. Isihlwele siyavuya. Ewe ewe, ndikulungele.
Abalinganiswa abaphambili beli bali lesilumkiso nguDebbie noMarcie, abafundi abasandul 'ukubona iikholeji, abanomdla wokubona umhlaba nokusasaza iVangeli. Kodwa emva kokuba besilele ukuthanda kwabo kuya kugcina ngokuchasene nee-RPGers zekampus, ubomi babo buthatha into embi. Bawela ku-Mistress Frost - eyona DM inzima endakha ndayibona - ngubani onwabise kakhulu ukufumana igazi elitsha. Ama-covens, ubunini, kunye nokufa kulandela.
Kwakuyinto ehlekisayo endakha ndayihleka iveki yonke.
Nangona ibali lidlalwa ngobuso obuthe tye obukhohlakeleyo, kukho amaxesha ambalwa okufihla apho abenzi beefilimu basinika i-wink enekhowudi. Umgca Ndisebenzisa umjukujelwa wobugqi ukuhlasela ubumnyama ilukiwe ngobuchule. Imilo kaDebbie ibonakala ngokuqaqamba Tengwar , kwaye wenza i-LARP-style coup de grace kumhlaseli weedemon. Mhlawumbi i-ZOE ayinakuxhathisa ukukhangela nje encinci kumnandi. Ngayiphi na imeko, nangona la maxesha ebeka izifinyezo ezimbalwa kwifayile ye- sizimisele kakhulu ngale nto vibe, ngumthombo wolwazi, hayi iziqhulo, ezichasa inkolelo. Ndandiqinisekile ukuba indawo apho uMarcie akhalaza echithe itheko lakhe eliphezulu endaweni yokushumayeza abo afunda nabo babephambuka kakhulu kumhlaba wokudlala - ndide ndafumanisa ukuba iChick iyacinga IHalloween lithuba elihle lokuguqula abantwana abancinci abeza emnyango wakho. Kulula kum ukuba ndikholelwe kwii-duels ze-wizard kunokuba kunje kum ukuba ndiyiqonde loo nto, kodwa ndicinga ukuba inyani ihlala ingaziwayo kunentsomi.
Ndikufumanisa kuyonwabisa ukuba kuyo yonke imithombo yeendaba apho ndibone inkcubeko ye-geek iboniswa, Izisele ezimnyama Ngoyena uphatha iqela labadlali ababhinqileyo njengesiqhelo, ngokwesiqhelo (kwirekhodi, iqela lam langoku linophawu olunye). Kodwa ngelixa eli-lingenantlekisa - ibali malunga nabafazi, sukuphambanisa ukupasiswa kovavanyo lweBechdel ngomyalezo olungileyo. Kwindlela yethu yabasetyhini ekhokelayo, sibona iingcinga ezimbini zakudala: UMarcie kunye noDebbie, amantombazana amnandi, angamantombazana, angakhanyisiyo, kunye noMnumzana uFrost, ophembelela ububi. Ziyalinganiswa ngabantu abathathu - umhlobo ongumKristu, unjingalwazi ochaphazelekayo, kunye nomfundisi osindisa umphefumlo-ngooyise, abakhuselayo, kwaye bahlala ekunene. Akwaba nje amantombazana ethu engazange alityeshele ingcebiso yamadoda azi ngcono! Akwaba bebemamele laa mfana mhle mhlophe!
Njengoko ndiye ndabelana ngeetafile ezininzi zokudlala kunye nabahlobo benkolo yobuKrestu, kufanelekile ukuba sikhankanye ukuba ubuKrestu ngokwabo abuyonto ehlekisayo apha. Kuyavunywa, ndibhala oku ngokwembono yehlabathi, kodwa emehlweni am, kuyacaca ukuba senzelwe ukuba sihleke ngombono Izisele kunye neDragons Ukuguqula ngokwenyani ube ngumphangi kaSathana, hayi kwabo bachitha ixesha ecaweni okanye emthandazweni. Le bhanyabhanya bendiya kukhululeka ngokugqibeleleyo ekuboniseni abahlobo bam benkolo. Kwisangqa sam, ubuncinci, bahlala becaphuka ngakumbi ngabona bantu bakhohlakeleyo kunam.
Ngexesha lokubaleka lemizuzu engamashumi amane, Izisele ezimnyama iwotshi ekhawulezayo eya kwenza kakuhle njengesibheno esithunyelwe ngaphambi kweseshoni ye-RP. Ndiyathandabuza ukuba ifilimu iya kuba nomtsalane kakhulu kwabo bangaphandle kwepen-and-iphepha, kodwa imayile yakho inokwahluka. Njengakwi Abadlala umdlalo Iifilimu, iiseti zohlahlo-lwabiwo mali olusezantsi zilula ukuzibona, kodwa ulwazelelo olukhulu lokuzonwabisa lwenza ukuba kube lula ukuxolela. Ukuba ufuna i-chuckle enhle, ndicinga ukuba uya kuyonwabela le nto.
Ke kwakhona, ndonwabile kwi-agnostic echitha ixesha layo lasimahla icofa amaphepha abalinganiswa kunye neqabane layo labasetyhini. Mhlawumbi akufuneki ukholelwe kwilizwi endilithethayo.
Amajele amnyama anokuba njalo ithengiwe kwaye ikhutshelwe kwi-intanethi ngee- $ 5.
