Scott Pilgrim Vs the World

[Hat Guy]

Saw this film with the girlfriend last night and was impressed. Sad to say that if you're over 25 you may not get some of the references in it, but it is a damn fine film.

My girlfriend is also a miniature gamer and she demanded to know when I'd have a Scott Pilgrim for Super System. I need a geek in a t-shirt with a flaming samurai sword, any suggestions?


(Weirdest freaking post I've ever made  )

I also think anybody under say 20 wont get all the references either, so darn they are working on a tight target audience. I'm afraid I cant help you with the guy himself tough.

Err, over 25? Those are references to 8 bit systems, boyo, and I certainly recognized them, being an "Ancient" 32 year old.

Doc,

I'm 60 and I fear you may have peaked according to the mid-25 crowd I work with...

Who is this Scott Pilgrimm?

I don't mean to offend anyone (I've seen The Who in concert twice and most of my Dr Who collection was made before I was born, so I'm not the best generational content judge), but I'm the youngest in my Shadowrun group and was the only one to pick all of the Zelda, DDR, Aqua, Bust A Move and Street Fighter jokes. If you spent much of the 80s/90s with a joystick in your hands, go see the movie.

I am very much a Johnny-Come-Lately here but I really recommend this one as a Christmas buy, if nothing else as a gift to yourself. Without having been much of a computer gamer I think I had just enough general knowledge of pop culture to get most references and I think a lot of them were just hilarious. The whole Not-Musical concept of the protagonists breaking out in highly stylized martial art fights instead of song was a riot, and that's the whole ex-partner thing aside.

I thoroughly enjoyed this as well, although I have to say that it may lose something on the small screen (it has very splashy complex visuals that may lose a bit in translation). Well-worth seeing!

Also loved the movie

So.. Anybody allready got an idea how to put Scott Pilgrim on the gaming table? A zombie hunter band with Scott Pilgrim, Ramona, Kim Pine, Knives and Stephen Stills would be awesome. What minis could I use to represent them?

[Hammers]

I really dug when Ramona hauld that thing out of her handbag.

Hmmm... It's out in the US now if you have a region-free DVD player.
