The War of Winds

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the epic web comic War of Winds by Kez Howard. I love fun fantasy stories with interesting mythology and characters and this comic has it in spades.

The Lords of the Four Winds, created by the gods to protect the land and people, battle among themselves…shaking the world with their machinations and drawing in the peoples of the earth below. Talon is a young man who comes into possession of a ring, which makes him the target of pursuit by a race of half animal/half-human.  Between his own problems and the epic battle of demigods, Talon’s life becomes one of adventure and danger. How fun that we get to read along with him!

This is another great comic to curl up with this winter. I’ll bet you’ll become a fan, too!!

I read recently that Sony had acquired the movie rights to the board game RISK. Since Risk is a board strategy game, it’s petty good movie fodder (but really… can’t they come up with a war movie concept on their OWN?).

I wondered if movie rights for other games would be up for grabs.  Clue has already been done. So, the next game I thought of was Monopoly.  A real estate crime caper, slum lords, utilities… JAIL! It would be a great movie!

Oh wait…someone’s already thought of that (with Ridley Scott directing). But WAIT! There’s more!:

“Monopoly” is set up at Universal Pictures, which has a first-look deal with Hasbro to develop movies based on the company’s line of toys. Those include “Ouija,” which Platinum Dunes is developing, and “Battleship.”

Maybe Animal Planet will make a movie based on “Hungry Hungry Hippos” next!

Are there any board games YOU think would make a great movie? Post in this thread!

Rated PG-13/R

I really do think about that when I go outside with my glasses.
