Dune

I love the dynamic gameplay of the AH Dune board game. Due to the spice blows and the rotating storm system, the board changes radically from turn to turn. Alliances come and go, but only at specific random intervals. Each faction is well-defined by special abilities, though those special abilities add to the learning curve of the game. The last time we played, I won on the second or third turn of the game, but I have seen other games go three hours or longer.

I listened to it about half a year ago, and it was brilliant. In most chapters, each character is voiced by a professional actor - Baron Harkonnen being the absolute highlight. It was also easier for me to get into Herbert's ideas and thoughts, since most of the book is narrated either through dialogue or monologue.

Look, I hate to complain but I really don't think this joke is getting the traction it deserves. I'm glad Colorcrayons doesn't have a dull mind and appreciates this, but GUYS... use your imagination and try to imagine driving on the highway listening to Marlee Matlin reading Dune. I was lol'ing as I wrote the post thinking it was GOLD Jerry, gold.
Just thinking of her trying to talk about the Bene Gesserit and constantly rewinding the audio to try and understand what she just said.... life doesn't get better than this, folks.

I just can't finish writing that mentat litany as Marlee.
But Barney is right, it is fucking hilarious to think about her doing it.

I remember it really well. The way it deviated from the plot of the book (or the movie for that matter) is unbelievably atrocious. I was about 12 or 13 back then and thought it to be the pinnacle of video-game writing.

Also, if you're not reading this in Richard Simmons voice, then you need to rethink your life.
