There should be a rule like for a duck. Never pick up a puppet in a dungeon. It never ends well. ;)

Does no one recognize the "sneak attack with a ballista" reference? lol
It's from the same bit as "I shoot magic missile. At the darkness!" and "I steal his pants."
Hey, isn't Mark supposed to be here?
To be fair, "I shoot magic missile at the Darkness" is older than said film - and I kinda thought the ballista thing was a reference to an older "thing" as well.
But, from the sequel, the afore mentioned actor, "You have no idea..." *haunted face*
Seriously. My memory (or lack thereof) for films I've seen less than twice seriously hurts by geek cred.
What the heck are you all referencing now?
well I recognize the words off a recording on my friend's ipod, it's a recording of a bunch of goofy gamers meant to show how evil it is, lot's of I cast magic missile and can I have a mountain dew.

I like to fool around with the names of (traditionally nameless) mooks, instead of, say, 'mook #1'.
Bob & Weave.
Ace, Deuce & Trey.
Cough & Drop.

If anyone's got any more ideas...? : )

And the sequel, "Dorkness Rising"
No recognize able quotes from Hands of Fate yet, though... not that there'd be quite as many quippible things from said film. Great film, though.

I'm 13 and I find it really sad that people just 1 year younger than me can be so sadistic :(children can be quite evil.whats really sad is that he is not even 13 years old yet :(n0w that is just wr0ng.
To be fair, when I was 13, our gaming group got into some really f*&*ed-up s!**. It was probably good to get it out of our system though.

Someone on these boards recounted a time when a friend was at a loss for a character name, so opened the PHB at random, closed their eyes, and pointed. Whatever word(s) they pointed to would be the name.
Thus, Don Hastily was born.
I followed the example and found my next character, Miss Chance.

I got magic missiling the darkness, I'm an avid 8-bit fan(atic?) xD.
"The Gamers" and it's apparent sequel, however, I'm unfamiliar with. I'll have to check out if I can find it on netflix or youtube, lol.

The 2nd Ed group I played in for a while had a tradition of naming characters after random brands of homewares that we'd fine rummaging through the host's house. Thus was my mighty warrior Westinghaus Sharpe born, and gifted with his greatsword Wusthof the Cleaver. His companions included Mistral (the magic user), Tupper the Wary (the thief) and Avanti Phillips (the elf)
the puppetry was an excuse to bring around magically enchanted plush dolls with 20 foot strings that could be used as weapons during performance. each puppet dealt an amount of damage equal to 1 plus the characters charisma bonus plus the characters puppetry ranks, but required you to have arcane spells and at least a rank in puppetry to use. so the little girl killed with plush dolls using them as puppets. it wasn't so much hand puppets as much as the idea had Alice Margatroid as a minor inspiration

That's more dangerously cheesy than a packet of Cheetos. Speaking as someone from a small Australian town where the only claim to fame is that they make cheese, I approve.

Stuff about a sex offender harassing her, and store policies and sheer happenstance preventing official removal of said offender.
Call me a brutalistic over-reactor, because it's probably true, but why hasn't your boyfriend done this to the guy?
EDIT: Totally forgot to put my experiences with bad RPers. Mostly it's just been the constitution-dumping guy whose characters are all sex-hounds to the core. Our current game has them serving in the army, which is probably going to make their character start climbing the walls, desperate for the group to walk by a temple of Calistria.

One of the worst "back stories" I've ever seen was in shadowrun:
"My character was a pineapple farmer who's parents were killed by a megacorp so he became a ninja and fights crime."
Note that the character is a member of a group of professional criminals, and was hanging out with a completely amoral mercenary who'd had all her limbs replaced by cybernetics due to having grown up in Chicago (which in shadowrun was nuked and is now basically Mad Max type society. Sorry, I just can't get beyond thunderdome.) and thus having cancer riddling most of her body, another professional hitman, a psychotic rigger, and a VR WOW addict who's brain had been burned so badly he believed he was his rogue, and went around speaking l33t and trying to backstab people.
Naturally, this didn't end well. Becoming pineapple Batman in a game built around being criminals generally doesn't.

Monterrey Jack must be a ratfolk. No exceptions. ;)
Back to bad character backstories….
In a 7th Sea game (think Renaissance Europe), one player made up a character the from the gameworld-equivalent of Germany. (Let’s just call the nations by their real-world versions for now.) He lovingly described his character’s blonde hair, blue eyes, noble Aryan features, and in particular his special, near-indestructible armor available only to German nobility: a rare, closely guarded national treasure that nobody but German nobility can ever own, and darn few of them.
The game started in “England,” where the PCs met in the usual tavern. So the player declares that his character is a Man of a Hundred Faces, with a different identity and name for every nation on the continent. He explains that nobody ever suspects he’s not one of the natives, just blending in everywhere he goes.
Since he’s all secretive and suspicious, he drifts closer to where the other PCs are meeting in order to overhear important things but not reveal himself. Yes, the tall, blonde, German guy proudly displaying his German-nobility-only armor is going to unobtrusively spy on the PCs. Finally, one directly addresses him. The player ignores it.
GM: “Uhh, you -do- speak English, right?”
Player: “Nope. Just German.”
*facepalm*
Bending over backwards to be charitable, the other PCs try to address him in various languages, eventually hitting on the right one. (“But they still don’t know who I really am! As far as they know, I’m just another English sailor!”)
“So what’s your name, friend?” the PC asks the smooth-talking superspy who has a different identity everywhere he goes.
“Helmut Schultz. SIR Helmut to you.”
It’s a shame we never got to meet Sir Helmut Schultz, mundane Spanish farmer with a gleaming mithral breastplate… or Sir Helmut Schultz, the only Italian priest who can’t speak Italian or Latin….

Dumping constitution on a sex hound? That can't be good for his reputation for the endurance side of bedroom Olympics.

Seriously. No amount of ranks in Perform (Sexual Technique) can make up for a lack of stamina...
Both the Book of Erotic Fantasy and my fiance agree on that point.
